Shui Yun caught Beauty Qing's meaningful glance and went out to see him off, slipping a purse into his hand: "Thank you for coming such a long way, but the fact that my lady is skilled in medicine must remain undisclosed. We hope the Imperial Physician will keep it quiet."
The Imperial Physician smiled and said, "You're too kind. I understand, Beauty Qing can rest assured."
Shui Yun bowed respectfully to see the Imperial Physician off.
Inside the side chamber of Jingxin Palace, Sun Cairen drank some water, feeling significantly better.
Yin Huang went out to find a place where medicine could be decocted, while Beauty Qing kept Sun Cairen company and talked.
