Xie Xun, despite teasing and joking with Fengyu, genuinely took her words to heart. The next day, after court, he privately met with Lin Helin. In the Imperial Study, Lin Helin and Xie Xun sat by the window sill playing chess. Lin Helin understood that Xie Xun hadn't invited him just for a casual game of chess; if Xie Xun had official matters, he wouldn't have taken such an informal stance.
"If Your Majesty has something to ask, please speak frankly."
Xie Xun chuckled lightly, "Then I'll ask directly: How is Yunong's injury?"
"It's a flesh wound. With some care, she'll be fine. The Imperial Physician said it wouldn't leave a scar. This incident has also taught her a lesson; she won't act recklessly in the future. My aunt will guide her properly. After she rests for a couple of days, my aunt will take her to Marquis Jingbei's Mansion to apologize to the two Commandery Princesses," Lin Helin explained calmly, outlining the subsequent handling of the matter.
