Zhou Shuren appeared very tired, rubbing his icy hands together, and signaled for the maidservants in the room to leave. Only then did he whisper, "The Retired Emperor caught a cold and is seriously ill."
"How did you get this information?"
Zhou Shuren's voice dropped even lower, "Rongchuan returned from Huguo Temple, he sent someone to inform me, and he has already entered the Palace."
Zhulan's heart skipped a beat, "Why did he suddenly become seriously ill?"
"Recently, I haven't heard any news about the Retired Emperor. I didn't see him when I entered the Palace, so he must have been ill. Now that his condition is serious, it's hard to keep it a secret."
Zhulan motioned for Shuren to change his clothes, and as he followed into the room, she asked, "Has the news spread throughout the capital?"
"By tomorrow, everyone who should know will know."
