Song Yuan had just raised this question to Si Mingjing when Madam Ying personally came to offer an apology.
The butler reported that Madam Ying was outside the palace seeking an audience. Si Mingjing did not wish to see her and ignored her. However, it was said that Madam Ying had stood outside the palace for two hours without leaving.
Today, the sun was blazing, its rays scorching. Afterwards, Madam Ying fainted outright.
When the butler came in to report, Si Mingjing furrowed her brow and said to Song Yuan, "Have two people go and help her in. I will meet her in the living room."
Song Yuan nodded. He called for two guards to drive out, help the fainted Madam Ying into the car, bring her into the palace, and then carry her to the sofa in the living room. They let Madam Ying lean against the back of the sofa. Si Mingjing poured her a glass of water and said, "Drink some water first."
"Thank you, Crown Princess Consort."
