Upon arriving at Changle Palace, Jiang Xian was not immediately welcomed inside.
The nanny had her wait for a moment in the outer chamber.
She heard a commotion from inside and faintly made out the sound of crying, though it was muffled.
'This concerns me, and it's something the Empress Dowager is deliberately keeping from me. I absolutely have to hear it.'
Jiang Xian opened the System Mall and selected an item that enhanced her hearing.
[Name]: Sharp-Hearing Ear
[Type]: Single-Use Consumable
[Function]: For thirty minutes after use, the host's listening range will be increased by three hundred percent.
[Note]: Use before bed may lead to insomnia. Please consider carefully.
After equipping the [Sharp-Hearing Ear], the sounds from the inner hall instantly became clear.
The first thing she heard was the sound of a young woman's sobs.
