In the palace, upon hearing from Duke Ping that the daughter lost years ago had been found, the Empress trembled, her eyes suddenly turning red, "...Really!?"
Messages had come throughout the years, but each time ended in disappointment, leaving her with almost no hope.
Now, her brother was telling her the daughter had been found.
Duke Ping nodded, "This humble servant has confirmed it; it is indeed the little princess, but..."
He looked worried, fearing the Empress might not withstand the shock, yet he did not want to conceal it, "She is no longer alive."
The Empress suddenly stood up, overwhelmed with emotion, her vision darkened, nearly fainting. The maid beside her immediately supported her, as she looked on with pained compassion, "Your Grace... please take care of yourself!"
