The blood-stained Xiao Rongyan, fearing that Mrs. Dong might grow more worried not knowing the situation, solemnly bowed deeply to Mrs. Dong in greeting: "The eldest Miss was speaking with Rong Yan... and the Rong's ghost-faced Prince when she suddenly collapsed. Please, Madam... Empress Dowager, do not worry. Doctor Hong is already taking her pulse."
Doctor Hong gave Xiao Rongyan a deep look, then stood up and made a deep bow towards Mrs. Dong, saying: "Madam, rest assured, the eldest Miss is not in a critical condition. However..."
"However?!" The fourth Madam, Mrs. Wang, who was continuously fingering her Buddha beads, paused and tightly gripped them, "However, what?!"
Doctor Hong glanced at Xiao Rongyan, gritting his teeth, then, after another deep bow, said: "Madam, may I speak with you in private."
Xiao Rongyan clenched his palms, not understanding why Doctor Hong suddenly seemed to regard him with such deep resentment.
