Chapter 507: Unrivaled in the World (19)

"Old Madam," Mrs. Chen was so agitated that she fainted with a great emotional upheaval.

The maids beside her pinched her acupuncture points and helped her onto the soft couch in the inner chamber of the meditation room.

After a while, Mrs. Chen weakly opened her eyes, feeling as if she had been in a dream or illusion, as though she had just had a nightmare.

Mrs. Chen said, "I seemed to dream that Little Hai'er... was gone..."

Her closest old woman, supporting Mrs. Chen's waist with one hand, couldn't bear to break the news but still struggled to say, "No, it wasn't a dream..."

Even if she wanted to deceive herself, she couldn't.

Outside, Princess Zheng took charge and had the servant tell everything that had happened in the outer court, which Mrs. Chen also heard clearly from inside.

Clutching her chest, Mrs. Chen, supported by the old woman, gasping for breath, still managed to make her way out.
