Outside the bedchamber of Emperor Yongye, a group of Princes eagerly awaited, while outside the palace, led by Prince Mu, a host of old ministers also knelt there awaiting news.
Nalan Yan'er also waited outside with her son and daughter.
Emperor Yongye was critically ill, and Nalan Yan'er was both elated and worried.
Especially since she noticed, upon entering the palace, that Prince Mu and a host of old ministers were also waiting outside.
The Princely Heir of Prince Mu had just passed away last night, and Prince Mu's Mansion was holding the funeral today.
Yet Prince Mu did not go back to preside over the funeral but instead knelt outside with his close officials. Was he really concerned about Emperor Yongye's illness?
Nalan Yan'er vaguely felt something was amiss.
But looking at her son and daughter beside her, she felt somewhat reassured.
