Sister Qing took a good while before she came back and said, "The Imperial Physician is fine for now, just tired. He has been advised to rest more and not to overwork himself!"
Finally, the Empress Dowager breathed a sigh of relief. However, she soon felt that Noble Concubine Shih was causing trouble again. After grumbling for quite some time, she let it go.
Sister Qing helped the Empress Dowager lie down before she left, her face filled with concern. Actually, Noble Concubine Shih was not merely tired. Instead... she had disturbed the fetal qi. In her plea for mercy, Noble Concubine Shih had repeatedly begged Sister Qing not to tell the Empress Dowager. Seeing her pale face as she lay in bed, she looked truly pitiable. Thinking about how she had watched Noble Concubine Shih grow up from a young age, Sister Qing eventually could not bear it and thus agreed.
「In the Xifu Palace.」
