The sudden turn of events made Song Yunzhao pause, and Feng Yi was also clearly displeased.
Cold sweat beaded on Meng Jiuchang's forehead. He hurried forward and said, "Lady Xu Ji, what are you doing?"
The one who had rushed out was none other than Xu Mingying.
Song Yunzhao stood a short distance behind Xu Mingying, not taking another step forward. But Feng Ze had clearly seen his mother. He scrambled over, shouting as he ran, "Mother, Mother..."
Song Yunzhao had no choice but to step forward to meet her son. Just then, Xu Mingying also turned her head to look at her, then curtsied. "Greetings, Lady Ming."
Song Yunzhao sized up Xu Mingying. She wore plain clothes and her complexion was poor. Song Yunzhao couldn't help but frown slightly. 'She's been recuperating for so long, why does she still look so unwell?'
Song Yunzhao picked up her son. "Xu Ji, there is no need for such ceremony." With that, she looked at Feng Yi. "I will take the Eldest Prince back first."
