Empress Song watched Emperor Yan finish the tonic, then pick up another memorial to the throne, and sensibly rose to take her leave.
"It's now April, warm and cold by turns. I heard Royal Mother coughed twice. I must go pay my respects and inquire after her health, so I won't disturb Your Majesty's reading of the memorials." Empress Song said with a smile.
Emperor Yan's hand paused, his brows knitting as he looked to Eunuch Lu at his side. "How is it that no one reported this to Us?"
Eunuch Lu hastily said, "This lowly one will go at once to find out the situation."
Emperor Yan's face showed displeasure.
Seeing this, Empress Song said, "Your Majesty, do not blame Eunuch Lu. It was only a couple of coughs. They haven't even summoned an imperial physician in Royal Mother's palace. It is only natural they did not know."
Eunuch Lu cast Empress Song a grateful glance.
