Everyone felt stifled after listening and did not speak, silently moving things.
Yun Jiao forgot to ask Granny Tian to buy candles, so they ate dinner in the dark. After eating and washing up hastily, they went to sleep.
Early the next morning, Yun Jiao took the pulse of Lady Wu and the maid, prescribed a remedy, and handed the prescription to Granny Tian, instructing her to bring back the medicine.
Granny Tian was gone for half a day again, and when she returned, she handed the medicine package to Cai Ping to prepare it, and hurriedly ran to the main room, "Madam, Young Madam, I just heard outside that during yesterday's prisoner presentation ceremony, Empress Dowager Zheng refused to disrobe, and stabbed herself to death with a hairpin."
"There was also an old lady who died, said to have bitten her tongue to commit suicide. Some say it was Princess Consort Le Ping, some say it wasn't."
Yun Jiao and Lady Wu were speechless for a long while.
