Feng Lao hugged Xu Zifan as he finally arrived home after almost two weeks. It was the time just before the sunset.
"You took a lot of days to return," Jingfei said, who handed Feng Lao a glass of water.
"Thank you," Feng Lao drank the water first before answering, "The work extended. So, it took me many days to return."
Jingfei placed the glass on the tray and the servant left the pavilion.
"Is anything going on? How is the Queen Dowager doing?" Xu Zifan inquired. Jingfei was also curious to know about her mother.
"Nothing suspicious is going on. The Queen Dowager is well in terms of health. She is usually quiet and stays always inside her room," Feng Lao said. He and Xu Zifan gazed at Jingfei, who was a bit upset to hear about this regarding her mother.
"I will ask my elder brother to free Mother," Jingfei said.
"The Queen Dowager tried to kill the King," Xu Zifan stated.
