Sister Ji looked on anxiously.
"Empress, it was just once! You really can't be like this!"
"You know the Emperor has always been extremely good to the children!"
"The Third Princess is naturally frail and sickly. Now that it's summer, they say she is constantly falling ill!"
"Even if the Emperor dislikes her mother, how could he not care even a little for the princess?"
"Just the other day, Xifu Palace was frequently calling for the Imperial Physician!"
Sister Ji meant that the Emperor went to Noble Concubine Shih's palace to see the princess.
But the Empress wouldn't listen at all.
If it were really about the princess, there are plenty of times to visit during the day. Why specifically wait until night? And why stay overnight, especially on the night of the first? It just doesn't make sense!
The Empress picked up a handkerchief and wiped her tears.
"If I had children of my own, I would not be in such a passive situation as I am now!"
