Should we save face for the Empress Dowager?
No.
The old woman was put in an awkward position by her words and forced a smile, saying, "Your Highness is too kind. Your Highness just sleeps a lot. The imperial physician comes to check on your health every day, and there is nothing seriously wrong with your health."
"I see! It's getting late. Since Your Majesty is so sleepy, I'll come to pay my respects to you again tomorrow. I understand that you're getting old and like to sleep more."
