"Thank you, Fujin. You're ill now, you must take care of yourself, especially with the New Year approaching. Everywhere will need your attention," Ye Zao said earnestly.
"Hmm, I know. You may go back," Fujin smiled and waved her hand dismissively.
Ye Zao bowed respectfully and then retreated.
Only after returning did she have the Imperial Kitchen prepare something to eat. She hadn't felt this hungry in years, as if she could starve to death.
As for Fourth Master, as soon as he entered the Capital, he went straight to the palace, just like the other Princes.
In Qianqing Palace, after seeing that Emperor Kangxi was indeed unharmed, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
"Alright, go and see your mothers. There's nothing to worry about here," Emperor Kangxi said, smiling at his sons' filial piety.
Fourth Master and the others then asked to be excused and left Qianqing Palace.
