Su Wanwan nodded hurriedly, "I'll go take a look."
If she doesn't get up soon, something bad will happen to her.
All she wanted to do was escape.
Lu Xingjian sat up and helped her put on her undergarments: "Let's go together."

Holding a bowl of medicine, Yanruo sat before Empress Dowager Wang's bedside, tears welling up in her eyes.
