The Fourth Master was weak. After having breakfast and taking medicine, he summoned the Crown Prince to give some instructions.
The Crown Prince was still young and couldn't take full responsibility, but there were many ministers in the court. What he should do now was to observe, listen, and contemplate more.
Here, the Fourth Master couldn't hold on after reviewing a few memorials and was urged by Ye Zao to lie down.
Without much thought, he fell asleep as soon as he lay down.
He wasn't awakened until lunchtime.
As Ye Zao had thought, although the illness seemed severe, it gradually improved once the fever subsided.
The medicine used was mild, but after all, the Fourth Master was an adult. It wasn't that serious.
Three days later, the Fourth Master was able to attend court.
At this time, the Fourteenth Master, who was far away in the Northwest, also received the imperial edict. He was preparing to return to the capital.
