Chapter 1035: 1033_1

The next day, early in the morning, Xiao'er and Du Yijin arrived outside the palace gate, waiting for the Empress Dowager to come out and accompany them to the Guanyin Temple to pray to Guanyin, the Goddess of Childbirth, for a child.

"Didn't the Empress Dowager hurt her foot? Why can't she just stay in the Cining Palace to recover? Why does she have to complicate things? We could go on our own!" Du Yijin also wanted to pray to Guanyin, as lately Shangguan Ruixi had been drinking so much tonic soup that he had nosebleeds. She also drank a bowl of health-improving tonic soup every night, and she was getting tired of it.

The most important thing was, both of them wanted a child.

"She just doesn't trust us, and since she's tired of lying in bed, she's probably looking for ways to give us a hard time! Just wait, I bet this journey won't be peaceful!" Xiao'er always prepared for the worst when it came to the Empress Dowager.
