Her eyes were red, then she rubbed her frozen hands and slowly walked into the inn of Huizi Store.
She asked for a room and had a young attendant bring her a tub of hot water. She slowly took a hot bath, and then lay down on the clean bed.
Turned over and over...
How should she enter the Imperial Palace?
With her aged and declining appearance, she's afraid that not even anyone would want her as a palace maid or nanny.
She needs to think of another way.
Days passed in a flash. Dong Huiying had been in the capital for several days now, but she was still at a loss. The Ninth Princess was erratic, confined to the Imperial Palace for years, and she herself had no connections and didn't know how to get into the palace. If her body was still in peak condition, she might consider sneaking into the palace at night, but the problem now was, she's just a useless old lady, her body frail, of no use.
Even a mischievous child could push her to the ground, and she wouldn't be able to get up.
