Emperor Chu felt like he had shot himself in the foot; everything was fine, so why bring up those unpleasant matters, making his mother cry.
"Mother, please stop crying. Although Lu Courtyard's diagnosis was indeed that her insides are weak and she needs careful nurturing without exhaustion," Emperor Chu said, "you saw her during the Dragon Boat Palace banquet and mentioned that she looked healthy, which means the nurturing has been effective. There's also a female doctor by her side assisting in her care."
"What do you know? The elderly, when they reach a certain age, you never know when their time will come. They could fall asleep at night and not wake up the next morning," Empress Dowager Wang sniffled.
Emperor Chu was at a loss: "Mother, listen to what you're saying."
Thankfully, Madam Song was not present; otherwise, she would have been upset.
Song Ci: She's definitely not cursing me; I swear on our fragile sisterhood!
