Just as she was thinking, the sound of footsteps came from outside.
The few attendants quickly shut their mouths and stood by the bubbling stove, watching the bone broth simmer inside.
The visitor was Qiu Ming, who had noticed Lin Wanyi only took a cloak with her when she left, and hadn't brought a hot water bottle, so he brought it over specially.
"Mistress, the Emperor is awake."
Lin Wanyi and Chunqi Xia An exchanged a glance, their expressions akin to that of warriors cutting off their arms.
Then they quickly gathered their emotions and put on a cheerful appearance.
"Oh, did Your Majesty sleep less today? Is there something the matter?"
"I don't know either; the master asked the mistress to come over. It seems the Emperor wishes to summon you."
"Alright, I'll go right away."
Taking the hot water bottle, the warmth spread from her fingertips to her toes.
Lin Wanyi walked ahead, with Qiu Ming and Xia An following behind.
