"The days go by so quickly; how can I not be anxious?"
The Empress Dowager showed no sign of physical exhaustion or extreme fatigue as she spoke, caressingly rubbing Jun Ning's head, her eyes full of kindness.
Jun Ning did not miss the slightest hint of expression on the Empress Dowager's face.
While seemingly casually conversing with the Empress Dowager, Jun Ning was actually carefully observing her. She had a dreadful suspicion in her heart that she had to verify personally.
And she needed to verify it thoroughly.
Unfortunately, she found nothing amiss on the Empress Dowager's face.
Jun Ning nestled close into the Empress Dowager's embrace, looking up at her closely, saying coquettishly, "Yi Yi is still young! Qi Xiao is only five years old this year, even younger. There's really no need to hurry."
The Empress Dowager smiled and gently stroked Jun Ning's back, without saying a word.
