The Empress Dowager, upon hearing Fu Xin's words, snorted but did not say much.
How could she punish Consort Ming at this time? Punishing her would only make the Emperor even more displeased, wouldn't it?
All she could do was wait for the Emperor to come and see what he would say!
When the Fourth Master arrived, the Empress Dowager was just resting after her meal.
"Paying respects to the Imperial Mother," Fourth Master said.
"Rise and take a seat. Is the Fifth Prince feeling better?" the Empress Dowager asked directly.
"In response to the Imperial Mother, the Fifth Prince was merely suffering from a slight chill. It was not serious to begin with, and he is much improved today," Fourth Master replied, trying to remain calm and collected.
