In the palace, the Emperor doesn't like to sit in a palanquin, and few other palace concubines are qualified for it. In Lian Hua's impression, she would always see Noble Consort Xue make an appearance sitting in a palanquin. She doesn't know how Noble Consort Xue is doing now, nor does she care; it's just that thinking of the palanquin brought her to mind.
As for the situation in the harem, Lian Hua knows almost nothing and doesn't concern herself with it.
On the third day after Lian Hua woke up, Consort De received the news and came to see her. She held Lian Hua's hand, looking her over as though fearing a single hair was out of place, and although she kept teasing and talking humorously, Lian Hua could see that Consort De felt guilty.
Her illness had nothing to do with her sister; it was her own issue. She said a few mischievous words, making everyone laugh out loud, which somewhat eased the mood.
