Cruel

The Empress Dowager hugged the Fourth Prince and personally coaxed him to sleep before taking a nap.

When Gui Zhi arrived, the Empress Dowager was still resting.

Normally, Gui Zhi would not have dared to disturb her, but now that Lady Yuan had been killed in front of everyone in Taiji Palace, Empress Xiao had almost gone crazy during her confinement. Even if she had offended the Grand Empress Dowager, Gui Zhi did not dare to delay.

However, it was unrealistic to bypass the Empress Dowager, so she stayed outside the cubicle.

Fortunately, although the Empress Dowager was not in a good mood, she could understand Empress Xiao's love for her son. She was pregnant and did not even dare to breathe loudly. She even needed someone to help her when she walked. It was difficult for her to give birth to the prince.

It was understandable for her to be nervous about her child.
