Lady Ge Beining placed the wooden box down on the large table in her bedroom. There was an empty vase resting on the table, so beautiful that it could overshadow any flower placed in it.
"Lady Ge…" a small voice whispered from behind her.
Lady Ge Beining instantly turned around, covering the box with her body. She forced a smile, realizing it was just her loyal servants.
"What is it?" she asked in the same, patient and kind voice. Even so, the maidservants bowed their heads.
"Her Grace, the Empress, is requesting your presence."
Lady Ge Beining's heart soared. Did that mean the Empress had a change of heart? Had she finally gotten over the pain?
'Of course, she did, it was only a matter of time!' Lady Ge Beining thought to herself. It was just a small mention of miscarriages, that was all.
