“Your Highness, we must not make a mistake now, otherwise with the Emperor…” The old wet nurse’s words were soft but resolute, though she trailed off at the end.
Gu Qingtong was confused, watching Xin Fei study her for a long moment before finally holding back her tears.
“Are you doing well now?”

Xin Fei immediately burst into tears: “No wonder, no wonder, no wonder…”

The old Princess Consort finally couldn’t bear it: “Your Highness, return to the palace. I will watch over this child.”
Xin Fei turned her head, tears welling up again: “Aunt, thank you.”
“We’re family, what’s there to thank? This is truly a tragedy!” The old Princess Consort gripped the chair’s armrest and stood up.
Gu Qingtong quickly stepped forward to support her.
Xin Fei, seeing her demeanor, wiped her tears and stood at the door, looking back several times. Only after the old wet nurse whispered “Your Highness, endure a little longer, or all will be in vain” did she resolutely leave.
