Since Empress Dowager Dou fell ill, Chen Jiao rarely returned to the Pepper Palace.
After removing her hairpins and untying her long hair, Chen Jiao leaned back on the couch and slowly let out a sigh of relief. The palace maid knelt beside the couch and massaged her calves.
Outside the palace gate, a young eunuch whispered something in the ear of the Grand Chamberlain. The latter nodded, sent the person away, carefully entered the palace, and relayed the news sent by Concub!ne Xu to Chen Jiao.
"Counting the days, it should be about the time." Chen Jiao was not surprised at all.
As early as when the Queen Mother started to take action, she had made up her mind that no matter what the other party wanted to do, as long as it did not threaten her foundation, she would just stand by and watch.
