Sister Qing truly didn't bring it up again.
But the Empress Dowager couldn't control herself from thinking about it! She was distracted and distressed all day. Normally, she would have meals with the Third Princess, but this time she didn't call for her. From morning to night, she was in a daze the entire day.
After dinner, the Empress Dowager really couldn't let it go and finally spoke.
"You... go find out, what exactly is happening?"
"Is it really going to... be an execution tomorrow?"
She choked up before she could finish her sentence.
Sister Qing didn't move but responded directly.
"This servant has already sent someone to inquire!"
"It's said... the case hasn't been concluded yet. They definitely won't be able to carry out the execution tomorrow!"
"Ah?" The Empress Dowager was very surprised. Wasn't it said that after the trial ended today, the execution would be tomorrow?
"They won't be able to execute him?"
"Yes! They won't be able to execute him!"
