There's no need for Bai Shan to ask; Zhao Liulang sighed and said, "I'm here to seek medical help for our Old Madam. She's feeling a bit unwell, and despite being treated by Imperial doctors, after seven or eight days of medication, there's been no improvement. Our family discussed it and decided to ask Zhou Man for help. You know that Zhou Man is currently at the imperial estate, so I came to the palace to request imperial permission."
Bai Shan perked up, "Did the madam agree?"
Zhao Liulang said, "If she had agreed, I wouldn't be sighing."
He said, "The madam didn't say yes, but she didn't say no either."
Because he couldn't obtain the imperial permission, Zhao Liulang was wandering around without hurry to go home.
He nudged Bai Shan and lowered his voice, "I heard that she's occasionally allowed to leave lately?"
