Upon learning that Gu Pin's wound had reopened, the Empress issued an order exempting her from the next seven days of morning greetings. She was to rest and recuperate peacefully at Yizhu Pavilion. It would not be too late for her to resume the custom of paying respects at Jianzhang Palace once she had fully recovered.
Now, even the palace maids of Yizhu Pavilion didn't want their mistress to move about freely.
If Jiang Xian so wished, she could have all her daily needs met without ever leaving her bed.
"Zhenqiu, go to Jianzhang Palace and ask the Empress if there are any tasks I can help with from Yizhu Pavilion."
Jiang Xian was applying to work from home.
Zhenqiu looked at her mistress with complete disapproval. "Your Ladyship, tasks that strain the eyes and mind should wait until you've recovered!"
"My shoulder is injured, not my eyes or my head."
