The Empress suddenly fainted, terrifying Sister Yang and the others.
But Sister Yang resolutely stopped them: "Don't make too much noise; call the Imperial Physician. Regarding His Majesty..."
It was really not appropriate to say anything now. On one hand, the Noble Consort had just given birth to the Eighth Prince, and on the other, the Empress had fainted.
If word spread, what would it be called?
The Empress's situation was already difficult; it couldn't be handled this way.
Moreover, it's a time of war with Mongolia; His Majesty would only be angry, simply disliking the Empress.
Once everyone helped the Empress into the inner chamber, she languidly awoke and held Xiu He's hand, saying, "Don't alarm them; just say an old ailment of mine acted up, and I'm a bit tired."
The Noble Consort is in confinement, with many matters to follow up on. Now, it's wartime, and many ministers' families need pacification.
