Upon leaving Canglan Court, the Emperor's smile vanished, replaced by his usual demeanor as he strode purposefully toward the Star Palace.
Zhang Qing followed closely, walking briskly as he looked down and replied, "Your Majesty, two Imperial Physicians are already waiting at the Star Palace."
"Mm," the Emperor responded indifferently, not breaking his stride.
He had given the order for Chu Yuanzheng and Huang Zude to wait in the Star Palace after completing the examination, and Zhang Qing was simply following the arrangement.
The abnormalities in Lian Hua's condition were not appropriate to discuss within Canglan Court – neither Lian Hua herself nor Nanny Qi should be privy to this knowledge.
That was also the reason why he hadn't stayed in Canglan Court for lunch. The matter weighed heavily on his mind, and he could not be at ease until it was clarified.
Before long, the entourage reached the Star Palace.
