In the inner chamber, upon seeing Ye Zao, Ye Gui was frightened.
She quickly walked a few steps, forgetting all manners: "What happened?"
"It's nothing, sit down." Ye Zao waved her hand with a smile.
Only then did Ye Gui remember she was in the palace: "Greetings to the Noble Consort."
"Come and sit." Ye Zao beckoned.
Ye Gui approached and sat at the edge of the couch, eyes red: "What happened? How did this happen?"
Ye Zao's current appearance was truly alarming.
Her face was pale, lacking blood; dark circles under her eyes; she looked utterly sick.
Ye Zao, lacking energy, signaled Shan Hu to explain.
Shan Hu stepped forward and knelt, recounting the incident since they entered.
Ye Gui looked at Ye Zao in surprise: "This... the Imperial Physician has no solution?"
"This isn't something an Imperial Physician can cure. The Shaman comes daily... will even come soon." Ye Zao sighed.
