Grand Empress Dowager Zheng had held back her worries for many days, and now as she spoke, they poured out completely: "Heaven is truly unjust. My son is gone just like that. Now my grandson, only eighteen, unmarried without children, unable to exert his authority on the court, is diagnosed with such a serious illness. What can be done in the future!"
As she spoke, tears streamed down her face.
At this moment, the extreme grief of Grand Empress Dowager Zheng was not feigned.
She loved power, but after all, she was aging; her love for her descendants was genuine.
Jiang Shaohua felt heavy-hearted but had to muster up the energy to comfort Grand Empress Dowager Zheng: "The emperor is so young; with slow and careful recuperation, he will surely recover."
