Outside, the Huang clan members have arrived.
One by one, they were tested for blood compatibility. But none of them were compatible.
They were sent back to their residence in the end.
While this was going on, this scene was reported to the Emperor.
"It seems that the Huang clan has a deep affection towards the Princess Consort.." Emperor Ding Shun said.
Other than earlier in the morning, Song Qing and Song Xia didn't show up to the palace again. They also didn't interfere with the funeral arrangements that they had decided on.
And now when the Princess Consort is on the verge of death, they don't seem that concerned.
"Something's not right. How could they be so cold towards their adoptive child? Even if they had only adopted her–shouldn't they still show a little concern? If the Princess Consort dies, won't it affect their clan? No–wait. That's wrong too.. They already have this status even before she married my son."
