Chapter 657: Late Night (Second Update)

According to normal practice, it was already late into the night; the Grand Madam should have retired long ago. The two men initially worried that they might disturb her, but to their surprise, the Grand Madam had not retired.

The Grand Madam sighed, "I cannot sleep.", then abruptly asked, "What brings you two here at this unearthly hour? Is it something to do with Xiaoqi?"

The two instantly understood; the Grand Madam was worry-stricken about Su Rong, to the point where she could not sleep.

The pair were at a loss as to whether they should inform her about Crown Prince Yuan Zhao of Dawei leading an army of eight hundred thousand to invade Nanchu. If she found out, wouldn't she be even more sleepless? However, if they did not tell her and the Crown Prince left the Capital City, along with the shifting of the city's troops, would not the news spread unavoidably? She would still be worried either way.
