"Good!" Princess Consort Ying softly laughed, "Then I shall await the good news from Your Majesty." It is better to take a gamble than to wait idly; who will win or lose is still unknown.
As for what will become of the Empress? Since she offered such a condition, she surely has her own arrangements.
After Princess Consort Ying left, the Empress called for Nanny Mao, looking at her with pleading eyes: "… After so many years of ups and downs in the palace, with people coming and going, I never thought that in the end, the one left by my side would still be you." She reached out and clasped Nanny Mao's hand: "Although you were not brought into the palace by me, you are the one I trust the most. I want to ask you for a favor…"
Nanny Mao's eyes reddened, and she nodded vigorously: "Your Majesty, please give your commands, I will do my utmost."
