Entering Anyang Palace, Imperial Concubine Chen immediately dismissed everyone, leaving only Zhou Dao and her trusted eunuch by her side.
"Master Zhou, is the Thirteenth Prince alright?" Imperial Concubine Chen inquired again.
In this vast ocean that was the palace, the Thirteenth Prince was her entire support and hope.
Should anything unforeseen happen to His Majesty in the future, she at least had someone to rely on. According to the regulations of the current dynasty, any concubine who had a son could leave the palace with the prince and be taken care of for the rest of her days.
"Empress, rest assured, the Young Prince has not suffered any serious harm. In these coming days, I will visit the Palace frequently to look after him."
Zhou Dao offered Imperial Concubine Chen a pill to calm her nerves.
"That is good then."
Imperial Concubine Chen breathed a sigh of relief. Behind the curtains, she fiddled with a small gourd in her hand that bore the character "Xuan."
