The Empress Dowager's illness is a grave matter; every family is fixated on news from the palace, and Song Ci is no exception. The Empress Dowager is her best friend and great support, so naturally, she is more concerned.
News from the Prime Minister's Mansion is always reliable. After executing two Imperial Physicians, Empress Dowager Wang has woken up, but she is extremely weak.
Song Ci swallowed hard: "Executed two Imperial Physicians?"
Nanny from the palace said: "If she hadn't woken up soon, it wouldn't just be two."
Song Ci was silent, clutching the prayer beads tightly. At this moment, she felt deeply the dominance and tyranny of ancient royal authority — under it, everything seemed so insignificant, human life as cheap as a dog's.
"Deliver a card to the palace. Now that the Lady has awakened, one must go to the palace to offer greetings, at the very least."
