"Why did father call you?" Sheng Li questioned Ying Lili, who had just entered the chamber. Ying Lili removed her overcoat first and then went towards the bed.
"When did you wake up?" Ying Lili asked.
"A few minutes ago. I did not see you here and then asked Court Lady Xu about you. So, what was the matter that my father called you urgently?" Sheng Li demanded the answer.
Ying Lili recalled how the Emperor told her that his illness should not be brought out but she could not hide it from Sheng Li. To fight against the Empress, she needed to tell the truth to Sheng Li so that together they both could tackle that problem and find a way to save the Emperor.
"Why are you taking so much time? It seems that father and you conversed about something serious," proclaimed Sheng Li.
