After hearing this, Qiu Ming immediately agreed and quickly headed toward Linzhi Palace.

Xia An looked at Lin Wanyi in the room, her eyes filled with worry.

"My Lady..."

"I was too naive, thinking that hiding would allow me to enjoy a peaceful life. Forget it; help me get up and walk a bit. I haven't been out of bed for several days, and my legs are starting to feel unresponsive."

In the Left Side Hall, Xia An helped Lin Wanyi walk back and forth in the room.

The movements weren't vigorous, but after several days of being bedridden, walking like this for a while made her legs feel a bit sore.

"My Lady, you shouldn't push yourself. As the saying goes, it takes a hundred days to recover from injuries to the muscles and bones. Be careful not to develop any chronic problems, especially when it gets cold or rainy."

"Don't worry; I'll take care of my own body."

Lin Wanyi took a break and then asked Xia An to gently knead her legs to relieve the tension.

In the following days, the servants in the Left Side Hall seemed to have made a pact, as they all started to get out of bed and walk around.

The one who recovered the fastest was Xiao Luzi. After receiving the physician's approval, he immediately changed into a spirited outfit and tidied himself up before coming before Qiu Ming.

"Eunuch Qiu, I've done my best. If you have any orders in the future, just say the word."

Seeing Xiao Luzi's rosy complexion, having been well cared for over the past few days, Qiu Ming smiled lightly.

"After all, you're young; your recovery is quicker."

Xiao Luzi grinned and asked, "Eunuch Qiu, shall I recite the newly drafted palace rules for you? I've been busy studying them these days."

"No need to recite. I've heard most of them when passing by your door these past two days. But remember, reciting them is one thing; keeping them in mind is the most important."

"Rest assured, Eunuch Qiu. I will remember."

"Good."

Qiu Ming regarded Xiao Luzi with a hint of appreciation.

For a servant, the worst thing is to be arrogant and proud, as well as to be careless and let things fall apart.

Having been cut down a peg, they now did the lowest tasks in the harem; if they looked down on themselves, how could anyone else respect them?

Xiao Luzi had good potential, and if properly trained, he would have great opportunities in the future.

With this in mind, Qiu Ming spoke.

"His Majesty likes the nightgowns that our lady made and has ordered a few more sets. Go to the Inner Court to find the head of the satin and embroidery departments to discuss it together. Also, please check on your master; he's been so worried lately that he has developed blisters at the corners of his mouth."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Luzi felt both sad and happy.

Since entering the palace, he had always been under the care of Eunuch Qin An.

Over the years, they had built a strong bond.

In truth, the young lady had never opposed him interacting with Eunuch Qin; she just disliked him spreading the Left Side Hall's matters carelessly.

Thinking of this, he nodded.

"Thank you for the reminder, Eunuch Qiu. I understand."

After saying this, he hurried off toward the Inner Court.
