"Yes, Queen Mother. I have made timely arrangements. The princess is fine and can conceive normally. She hasn't felt a pulse yet, but it's still early. She will feel a pulse in a few days."
The Empress Dowager remembered that Xiao Lingyu had examined Xie Wanyi's pulse yesterday and found her not only not poisoned but also in good health, so she felt relieved. "Ziyu is indeed loyal. I misunderstood her. However, the fact that she tasted the salt was against the rules. Without rules, there is no order! Mistakes must be punished. You should handle this matter personally.
