Ye Zao fell ill and the sickness lasted for seven days.
During these seven days, she developed a fever almost every evening. She was weak and lacked energy. Fourth Master couldn't stay overnight, but he made time to see her every day.
Knowing her fever started in the evening, he would come at that time, watch her eat something, and then leave.
The Fifth Prince had been clamoring to see his Mother for the past few years, but he was able to see her every day, it was just that Mother wouldn't hold him.
The wet nurses persuaded him, and he would behave.
On the seventh day, Ye Zao's fever finally subsided. She felt her body temperature was still a bit high, but it was much better compared to before.
"This sickness really is fierce," Ye Zao muttered through her stuffy nose, leaning helplessly against the soft pillow.
Now that she was sick, she didn't feel like eating anything, and even spicy food tasted bland.
