Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 1287

Capítulo 1287: Chapter 1282: Disadvantage

Inside the wide-mouthed porcelain fish tank filled with shallow water, a red koi suddenly flicked its tail, splashing water onto the Empress Dowager of Yan’s hand, pulling her back to her senses.

“This beast…” The personal palace maid next to the Empress Dowager of Yan hurriedly stepped forward to take the fish food from the Empress Dowager’s hand, pulled out a handkerchief to wipe her hand, and ordered someone to prepare clothes immediately to assist the Empress Dowager to change.

However, the Empress Dowager of Yan seemed absent-minded, pulling her hand away from the maid’s hand and asked, “Has the Ninth Prince… already reached outside the Imperial Palace? I heard Ah Li personally led the court officials to greet him. Why hasn’t anyone come to tell me if the Ninth Prince has arrived?”

“Now that the Zhou army is pressing near, once the Ninth Prince returns, he will surely discuss strategies with His Majesty. Once the matters are discussed, His Majesty and the Ninth Prince will certainly come to see the Empress Dowager. Please rest assured,” the maid comforted the Empress Dowager of Yan.

The Empress Dowager lowered her eyes, noticing there were no others around in the grand hall, and muttered thoughtfully, “I just fear… A Yan might blame me for not letting anyone come to inform me.”

The maid looked around nervously, and while wiping the Empress Dowager’s sleeves, said, “Empress Dowager, please don’t let your thoughts run wild. Even if the Ninth Prince is upset, the Second Prince has always been filial to you. Every time he returns from a trip, he must come to pay his respects to you. Since the Second Prince hasn’t come, he must be discussing how to deal with the Zhou matters with His Majesty in the front!”

Upon hearing this, the Empress Dowager nodded, reassuring herself, and smiled as she patted her personal maid’s hand, saying, “It’s been a blessing having you by my side to guide me all these years!”

“What are you saying, Empress Dowager? I am merely a bystander who sees things clearly, not someone who can guide my master!” The Empress Dowager’s personal maid chuckled.

The Empress Dowager smiled, holding the maid’s hand as she went to the rear hall to change clothes.

Just after the Empress Dowager had changed her clothes, a eunuch came to report that the state uncle had secretly sent a letter, inviting the Empress Dowager to the front hall.

“Did he say what the matter is?” the Empress Dowager asked.

“In response to the Empress Dowager, this servant does not know…” The reporting eunuch whispered, “The state uncle just asked this servant to promptly invite the Empress Dowager to the front hall and didn’t say anything else.”

“Empress Dowager, will you go?” the maid asked the Empress Dowager.

After thinking for a moment, she replied, “Let’s go and see!”

The Empress Dowager’s personal maid responded, knelt down to arrange the Empress Dowager’s clothing, then stood up to support the Empress Dowager’s hand and called out loudly, “Prepare the sedan chair!”

Soon, the Empress Dowager sat in the sedan chair and arrived at the front hall. Even before entering, she heard the sounds of noisy arguments coming from the grand hall. She paused her steps, quietly listening from outside the hall.
