When Hongxu came to Lady Tala's room again, he found her in low spirits.
She looked pale and haggard.
He hadn't been here for four or five days, as the Chief Fujin had given birth to the Elder Prince, and the celebration lasted a day. There had been several trips to and from the palace.
Hongxu saw her forcing a smile, and instead of questioning her, he took a moment to glance at Chang Fu.
Chang Fu understood, and took advantage of Lady Tala going to pour tea to say, "Nothing has happened these days. I guess... she's remembering that incident. That child... would have been about the same age as the Elder Prince."
Hongxu acknowledged with a sound and sighed softly.
When Lady Tala personally brought the tea and Chang Fu had left, Hongxu said, "Don't be sad anymore, what's past is past."
Lady Tala was momentarily stunned: "Yes..."
"Your body hasn't completely recovered." Meaning that she's not suitable for pregnancy now.
She's currently practicing birth control.
