The eunuch, tasked with delivering the decree, exhibited a helpless expression as he said, "Mr. Bai, you should see for yourself. Consort Lv seems to be in a bad way, and Her Majesty the Empress isn't asking you to confront her. She mainly wants your assistance in diagnosing her illness."
"What illness does Consort Lv have? Hasn't she been examined by the Imperial Doctors in the Palace?" Bai Ruozhu inquired.
"Mao Yanshi and the others have examined her and say it's hysteria—that her mind is somewhat disordered," the eunuch said, his voice lowered, while gesturing towards his own head. After all, he was discussing a master of the Palace and dared not speak too loudly.
Bai Ruozhu nodded and murmured intentionally, "How can she suddenly be out of her wits without reason? She wasn't poisoned by Wei Pengbo and frightened out of her senses, was she?"
"Perhaps that's the case," the eunuch conveying the order said.
