"It's getting late; Jingan Temple is not a place you should stay. Leave now," said Consort Jing with a quiet demeanor, indicating it was time for Ruyan to leave.
This time when she spoke, she didn't use her inner strength to convey her words silently; instead, she spoke out loud.
Ji Ruyan understood her meaning; she wanted to convey that although their conversation had been quiet and undisturbed, Consort Jing wasn't truly free at Jingan Temple because the guards were secretly watching.
She had come to take Consort Jing's pulse and diagnose her illness and could not stay in the room too long to avoid raising suspicions.
Ji Ruyan nodded, raised her voice, and said, "Your health has deteriorated severely. I'll write a prescription for you. Have someone fetch the medicine later."
While speaking, she discreetly took a bottle of elixir out of thin air, pressed it into Consort Jing's palm, and conveyed with a whisper, "Take one pill a day, and I'll come to see you again in a month."
