The nanny comforted Empress, who then instructed, "Go and inform Prince Huai that he should not wait any longer. Yun Nian will not come. Tell him to seek another opportunity."
The nanny understood and replied, "Yes." Empress Zhou sighed, wondering what had possessed Prince Huai to insist on Yun Nian.
