Let's wait and see; perhaps things will change once the new year begins.

the next day,
Sun Miaoqing guessed that Da Pang Ju's anger should have subsided, and he still used the same old excuse of feeling unwell and having a miscarriage, so he asked Liu Li to go to the Yangxin Hall to invite someone.
Not long after, Liuli returned alone, looking dejected. She didn't even see the big fat orange cat. Without asking, she knew that things had not gone well.
Sun Miaoqing felt a little regretful, as she had prepared something new for Big Fatty Orange. But once or twice wouldn't matter; he wouldn't stay away from her Hibiscus Pavilion forever.
Liuli said with a bitter face, "This servant is useless, I didn't see the Emperor."
"Eunuch Su said that the court is busy and the Emperor is meeting with his ministers. He has ordered that no one should disturb him. He asked me to come back and tell you first, and he will report to the Emperor when he has a free moment."
Sun Miaoqing understood that the talk of court politics and ministers was just an excuse; they simply didn't want to pay attention to her.
She's so understanding; let's just give him a break these two days, since he still has some time before his miscarriage.
"Okay, I'm not upset at all, why are you so upset?"
"If you don't want to come, then don't come. It's the middle of winter, so we'll be more comfortable here. Go get some sweet potatoes; we'll have roasted sweet potatoes later."
Rose advised, "My lady, you have been eating roasted sweet potatoes for two or three days in a row. These are hot in nature, and you should be careful not to get a sore throat from eating too much."
Sun Miaoqing said, "It's nothing, I know what I'm doing. Didn't Physician Lu say that I have a damp and cold constitution and should eat more warming and nourishing foods?"
"Roasted sweet potatoes are just right; I call this fighting poison with poison."
While everyone was busy with these things, in Jingren Palace, the Empress finally regained consciousness.
Jianqiu, who was standing guard by the side, was overjoyed to see the Empress wake up and wept with joy. "Your Majesty, you have been unconscious for a day and a night. You have finally woken up."
"How are you feeling? Is there anything wrong? I'll have someone fetch the imperial physician right away."
After saying that, Jianqiu hurriedly ran to the door and asked Xiuxia to fetch the imperial physician who had been waiting in the side hall.
After Zhang Mi came over and paid his respects, he performed another round of examinations on the Empress, including observation, listening, questioning, and palpation. Once he finished this, he spoke directly.
"Your Majesty, your condition has stabilized and there is no major problem. You just need to follow the prescription and take good care of yourself."
"Physical problems are easy to cure, but I am powerless to help with the pain in your heart. You must find a way to make up your mind and not wallow in grief."
"Otherwise, even if Hua Tuo were alive, he probably wouldn't be able to help."
The Empress said weakly, "I know, thank you for your help, Physician Zhang."
Zhang Mi cupped his hands in a respectful gesture, picked up his medicine box, and left. Now that no one else was in the room, Jianqiu, her eyes blurry with tears, tried to comfort her.
"Your Majesty, please don't do this. It breaks my heart to see you like this."
The Empress's eyes were blank and lifeless as she murmured, "I had a dream..."
