Matron Chen paused. She immediately understood the meaning behind Empress Dowager's words.
It was true that Madam Zheng knew too much. Everything would be resolved once she was dead. This would save the trouble of her mentioning anything that should not be said.
All those years ago, Madam Ling…
Empress Dowager Xiaojing suddenly stood up and walked toward the window. She looked out of it and said, "It would not be long…"
There was excitement hidden vaguely in her words.
Matron Chen's heart missed a beat.
That was right, it would not be long now. Frostbite could not be cured by anyone but Madam Ling. Moreover, Madam Ling had been dead for so many years. The poison in the Emperor's body would only allow him to stay alive till the end of the year at most…
Matron Chen gave it a thought and asked in a low voice, "Regarding Madam Zheng, should we inform the Crown Princess about it?"
