The days at the traveling palace passed quickly. Feng Yi had promised to take Yun Zhao out in disguise, and he had indeed found a day for it, with just the two of them secretly leaving the mountain.
Yun Zhao had originally planned to take Consort Shu and the others out for some fun, but the Empress Dowager fell ill, and the plan was dropped.
She mentioned it to Feng Yi, "I suppose I've broken my promise this year. I'll have to make it up to them next year."
Feng Yi looked at her. 'Why is Yun Zhao so concerned about the concubines in my harem?'
As the weather grew cooler by the day, returning to the capital was put on the agenda.
The Empress Dowager herself proposed returning to the traveling palace to recuperate. After all, news of her previous illness had spread throughout the traveling palace and beyond, laying the groundwork for this.
