And the Ning family can only express their honor.
Isn’t it a great grace from heaven to pray on behalf of the Empress Dowager?
"Madam Ning prayed for the Queen Mother and took the trouble to do so. The Ning family also took good care of me, and Shou Anbo was also loyal to me. I am very pleased that your Ning family is full of loyalty and kindness." Helian Qi continued:
