The letter from Empress Dowager Zheng, sent urgently from eight hundred miles away, reached Nanyang County in just eight days, arriving at the Nanyang Prince Mansion.
In fact, before Empress Dowager Zheng's letter arrived, Jiang Shaohua had already received news from the Capital City ahead of time.
Her grandfather, Prince Nanyang, had spent a large amount of silver to form good relations in the court. Now that Prince Nanyang had passed, the connections and benevolence he left behind still existed, and Chief Historian Chen had been secretly maintaining these networks. News concerning the movements in the court was always the fastest.
"Chief Historian Chen, this is a letter from the Empress Dowager," Jiang Shaohua remarked with an ambiguous smile, handing the letter to Chen Zhuo.
Chen Zhuo quickly glanced over the letter: "As expected, it is a request for the blueprints."
