When the palace maids rushed to call Hou Hai, he was both concerned and surprised. He was concerned that Xiaoling was burning her skin away and was surprised that the palace maids cared so much for her. They looked genuinely scared.
As Hou Hai followed the palace maids to Xiaoling's quarters, he was even more stunned to see how the rest of the palace maids were gathered outside the chambers, talking to the Imperial Physician.
"Has Zhenzhen tried calling her out?" Hou Hai asked one of the maids as he walked inside.
All the maids left way for him to go inside. The maid nodded frantically in response.
"Your Highness, Crown Princess Consort is in the side room, behind a screen," The maid pointed at the bathroom and gestured to Hou Hai to go by himself.
