The Empress was taken aback, but ultimately didn't ask any further questions. She instructed the palace servants to wait outside and not to enter the inner room without her permission.
When Xingxing stammered that she might be menstruating, she told the Empress about all the reactions Zhang Xiantao had mentioned. She was very worried that she would have unbearable abdominal pain, that she would be rolling around in bed, and that she would even vomit from the pain.
