Zi Su spoke indignantly, "You stay here! I'm going to report our master's illness!"
With that, she really did leave.
Zi Ning sighed but didn't stop her.
After all, she too felt that their master had been treated too unfairly. Sister Zi Yue was lying there, having been beaten half to death. This was no less a slap in the master's face. Endure, endure, endure! To what end? Even Zi Ning, with her mild temperament, couldn't stand it anymore.
Xia Ruqing hadn't slept much either, waking up as usual when it was time.
Zi Su had already returned and said, "Master, the Emperor has ordered that you rest well today. There's no need to pay respects to the Empress! I've already reported your illness for you!"
Zi Ning nodded in agreement. "Master, you were also tired yesterday. Just rest well today!"
Xia Ruqing looked at the two loyal people by her side, who were as caring as little angels.
She smiled. "Alright! If I don't go, then I don't go. It's just one day; it's not a big deal!"
