Lady Tao was also uneasy, "Yes, just after the assassination attempt occurred, the Empress's actions have been rather significant. Having just arrived in the capital, I'm feeling uncertain, so I especially came to ask if you would go with us. Now that I know you're going, I can be at ease."
Zhulan was not at peace either, she always felt like the virtuous Empress was about to enter a fierce confrontation. Alright, she was actually looking forward to the Empress's combativeness. After all, the Empress had been the Emperor's official wife, accompanying him through thick and thin—her combativeness must be high.
Lady Tao asked further, "Will you bring Xue Han with you?"
Zhulan nodded, "Mhm, and you?"
She had no choice but to bring her, as the Empress would be her daughter's future mother-in-law. Since the Empress specifically mentioned it, her daughter must be brought along.
