In front of Yongning Palace.
The Old Madam looked up at the plaque.
Her expression was calm, showing no trace of emotion.
Mrs. Wang helped her step over the threshold.
Inside the hall.
The Empress Dowager sat on the Phoenix Chair, and from a distance, one could feel her anger.
Mrs. Wang looked up and met the sharp gaze of the Empress Dowager, which was as keen as an eagle's; she quickly lowered her head.
Supporting the Old Madam forward, she respectfully saluted the Empress Dowager.
The Empress Dowager took a deep breath, suppressing her burgeoning rage.
"Have a seat."
"Thank you, Empress Dowager."
Once the Old Madam was seated, she looked at the Empress Dowager and asked, "What has caused the Empress Dowager to be so angry?"
Mrs. Wang glanced sideways at the Old Madam.
Even she knew that the Empress Dowager was angry because the Prince had appointed Lady Chi as the Princess Consort.
Playing dumb like this would only infuriate the Empress Dowager.
