"Hmm"
Someone lazily responded, while lying on the Imperial Concubine Chair with closed eyes.
Ning Zhi was delighted and lifted her skirt as she ascended the steps.
As soon as she went up, Situ Xiu opened his eyes.
With droopy eyelids, he sat up, still lazy.
"What is it?"
Ning Zhi handed over a booklet.
Speaking in a lowered voice
"Prince, the Empress seems different from usual lately."
Situ Xiu said nothing, indicating for her to continue speaking.
This made Ning Zhi's eyes flash with a hint of joy.
She stepped closer to Situ Xiu and spoke
"After the Empress attended court, she has been staying in her bedchamber without summoning anyone.
The Empress seems to be ill."
Situ Xiu's eyelids twitched.
Seemed he heard other movements.
He opened his eyes and turned his head.
He saw Guard Song carrying some walnuts heading this way.
Situ Xiu spoke slowly
"Dare you discuss Royal family matters? Who gave you the courage?"
