However, the Empress Dowager glanced at De Fu fiercely, so De Fu stayed silent directly.
That was not what he had heard. The Queen was seriously ill but the Empress Dowager had made it sound as if nothing serious had happened.
De Fu was the King's man, and he was loyal to him, not to the Empress Dowager, but he was, after all, a servant.
When he was warned by the Empress Dowager in this way, he did not dare to spill the truth.
Seeing that De Fu had chosen not to spill the truth, the Empress Dowager felt assured and said, "King, just return to your own business, I will be off now. There are many errands to deal with in the court around this time of the year, and Honored Princess Jing is too busy to do everything alone. I have to give her a hand."
The King nodded and took over a petition, instead of dwelling upon the Empress Dowager's words. He asked the Empress Dowager to take good care of herself and then continued to get on with his business.
