The King went directly into the Queen's room when he arrived at the Weiyang Palace.
He was not sure if the Queen was really sick or trying to dodge him. He had been noticing that the Queen had been avoiding him during the past few weeks. Maybe she was just throwing her temper.
As the King walked into the room, he asked Aunt Nan and the other maids to leave them alone. So he was now in the room by himself.
He looked at the Queen's face and frowned. "Why didn't you get a doctor? You look so pale, what is going on? You haven't recovered from the cold?"
The Queen nodded briefly instead of saying anything more.
The King felt that he had been given a cold shoulder. So he showed a very unnatural expression on his face.
