An Xiaoyi had no desire to follow Ming Fei to Shouci Palace, but she didn't dare refuse. The favored concubine was all smiles at the moment, but An Xiaoyi had seen with her own eyes how quickly she could turn on someone.
Suppressing her frustration, An Shutong arrived at Shouci Palace with Song Yunzhao.
A Palace Attendant from Shouci Palace immediately went inside to announce them. After quite some time, someone finally came out to invite them in.
Song Yunzhao entered the main hall of Shouci Palace, her expression unreadable. Palace Attendants stood on either side, hands folded and heads bowed. Once inside, she saw Feng Yunjin standing in the hall. Feng Yunjin's complexion seemed fine, and Song Yunzhao let out a small, internal sigh of relief.
She took a step forward, looked at the Empress Dowager, and said, "I greet Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager. May Your Majesty enjoy boundless fortune and health."
