Empress Dowager Gu knew full well that her own son was wrapped around Mei Wanying's little finger.
When it came to matters concerning Ling, his word meant nothing; Mei Wanying had to be the one to give the final say.
Besides, given how devoted Pei Yan was to Mei Wanying, he would ask for her opinion on everything he did.
Telling him to bring Ling into the palace, no matter how many times, would be a waste of breath.
Rather than beating around the bush and wasting her efforts, it was better to ask for Mei Wanying's opinion directly.
If Mei Wanying agreed, Pei Yan wouldn't stand in the way.
Before Mrs. Feng arrived, Empress Dowager Gu had instructed her to discuss the matter amicably with Mei Wanying.
As long as she could see Ling, she would agree to any condition Mei Wanying proposed.
Even if she wanted to be the Empress, as long as the Emperor did not object, the wish could be granted.
Mrs. Feng maintained a respectful demeanor as she waited for Mei Wanying's reply.
