Zheng Liqi said anxiously, "Your Highness, the Empress Dowager indeed had some final words."
"What words?"
Ye Yiheng's voice was clear and cold, betraying no hint of emotional fluctuation.
"Before the Empress Dowager fainted from anger, her health was already frail. I went to the palace to see her, and she took my hand and said that once the Crown Prince returned to the capital, she wanted me to enter the Eastern Palace as a Second Attendant." Zheng Liqi gauged Ye Yiheng's expression while cautiously continuing, "Unexpectedly, the Empress Dowager fainted the next day. I believed that her words the day before could be considered her last will."
"Second Attendant?"
His voice was neutral, expressing neither joy nor anger.
