"Master has awakened, are you feeling better?" Ah Ling asked excitedly.
"I feel lighter, how is the child?" Ye Zao asked.
"The Fifth Prince has gotten up; he's washing up now. Would Master like to freshen up too?" Ah Ling came over to properly hang the curtains.
"Mhm."
Just as she got off the bed, Yu Xie from Qianqing Palace arrived: "Your Servant pays respects to my Lady."
"Dispense with the formalities, what brings you here?" Ye Zao, leaning on Ah Ling's hand, still appeared very frail.
"Your Servant was ordered to check on you, are you feeling better?" Yu Xie smiled. "His Majesty is worried."
"Tell him I am much better now and not to worry. I thank His Majesty." Ye Zao smiled, "I appreciate you taking the trouble to come, Shan Hu."
Understanding the cue, Shan Hu offered a large embroidered pouch.
Yu Xie took it, smiling as she bid her farewell.
She thought, there are still people afraid that she would lose favor, but she is far from it.
