Yun Shang was not surprised at all. Although there were only the concubines of the former emperor in the imperial household, they had stayed in the imperial household for a long time. So they knew clearly what had happened in the palace.
"I guess they have heard that his majesty hasn't gone to the court because of illness today, as well as those rumors, so they come here to see if it's true."
Qian Yin nodded, "Your Majesty, do you want to see them?"
Yun Shang chuckled, "Yes. Why not? If I don't see anyone, my clothes will be in vain."
Qian Zhuo took a look at Yun Shang's clothes. She still didn't understand what Yun Shang mean, but she went to call them in as she was told.
Yun Shang didn't wait for them in the main hall. Instead, she went back to the inner hall first. She went to the dresser, took out the rouge, applied some on her face, making her face look paler.
"Your majesty, the ladies are waiting in the main hall..."
Yun Shang answered and walked out of the inner hall.
Several ladies in the court outfits rose to their feet when they saw Yun Shang come out.
With a forced and pale smile on her face, Yun Shang said, "Your highnesses, don't be courteous. Have a seat.
After saying that, she walked to the main seat and sat down. "I'm wondering why you come to the Weiyang Palace. Is there anything important?"
The ladies looked at each other for a while. Then one of them said, "I heard that his majesty is sick. We are very worried, so we want to ask your highness how his majesty is?"
Yun Shang straightened her back and said calmly, "Nothing. His majesty just caught a cold and..."
"It's said that he dealt with political affairs until midnight last night, but I also heard that his majesty rested in Weiyang Palace last night. And I haven't heard that Weiyang Palace called for an imperial physician today." Another lady said.
Yun Shang looked at the person who spoke. She was wearing a carmine court dress. If Yun Shang remembered correctly, she should be Lady Lian?
Yun Shang pursed her lips and said, "Lady Lian, I don't know. I know some medical skills. Although I'm not necessarily better than the imperial physicians, I'm much better than any ordinary physicians. It's just an ordinary fever, and I can deal with it. Now his majesty's fever has subsided. He is resting as he is still a little weak and didn't have a good rest last night because of dealing with political affairs."
"That's good. If so, we can rest assured."
Yun Shang also seemed to be a little tired. She raised her hand and rubbed her temples. "His majesty had a fever last night, and I had been busy for the whole night. Now I'm a little tired..."
"In that case, we'll leave now. Have a good rest, your majesty."
After sending away the ladies, Yun Shang sneered. A cold light flashed through her eyes, but soon disappeared. When Yun Shang returned to the inner hall, she saw Luo Qingyan sitting on a chair, reading a pamphlet attentively.
"What's this?"
Luo Qingyan smiled and handed it to Yun Shang.
Yun Shang took it over and looked at it. "Isn't this the information about the officials who has once been taught by the former grand tutor?"
"Yes." Luo Qingyan smiled, "I've been lying on the bed for so long that I feel my bones are almost scattered. I have nothing else to do but get up and take a walk. I happened to see this thing, so I took it to have a look."
