Early the next morning, Shang Ruyi rose as usual and immediately noticed an all-too-familiar presence among the palace maids serving her; it was Wo Xue.
She did not say anything immediately, but waited until they had finished washing and dressing her, and then asked while sitting down for breakfast, "You, are you healed?"
Wo Xue was just serving her a bowl of hot soup, and her hand paused slightly upon hearing this.
But she quickly composed herself, saying softly, "Thank you, Young Madam, for your concern, but, this servant is fine now."
Though she said so, Shang Ruyi still noticed her face was a bit pale, and her movements were more sluggish than before while working, but she said nothing more, merely nodded and accepted the bowl to start her meal.
Looking down at the dishes on the table, she couldn't help but wrinkle her brows slightly.
