In the courtyard.
Looking at the solemn-faced Old Su, Wang Bing couldn't help but step forward and ask:
"Uncle, is everything alright in the palace?"
Among the people Old Su had left, except for Xu Yun, all were officials within the Great Song system.
This included persons like Zong Ze, who had ties with Old Su, but the relationship was not particularly close.
Therefore, it was not unexpected that something happened in the palace—it was likely not a high-level secret, and within several hours or one or two days, it would gradually spread.
Old Su evidently didn't plan to be secretive; after being silent for a moment, he slowly uttered a few words:
"The Empress Dowager... has passed away."
"?!"
Upon hearing Old Su's words.
The courtyard was silent at first, then it erupted into a commotion.
Old Zhong's eyes flickered a few times, and he asked with a frown:
"Mr. Su, when did the Empress Dowager pass away?"
