So, the situation is still uncertain, but this was expected, and Imperial Doctor Liu and the others aren't too disappointed.
Even at this moment, they haven't given up trying to find other prescriptions. While pondering, they hear Manbao's lowered voice.
They snap back to reality and turn to look at Zhou Man, seeing her whispering with a palace maid, "…don't brew tea, just need boiled water, and help me serve more rice."
Director Xiao and the others: …
The palace maid, having been in the Eastern Palace side hall for acupuncture, has a good impression of Zhou Man, so she listens intently, notes it down, then bows and leaves.
Once she leaves, Manbao collapses into the chair, touching her belly with a sigh.
With her sigh out, Manbao feels the hall is too quiet, so she looks up at Director Xiao and the others, seeing them all looking at her.
Manbao blinks at them and asks, "What's wrong?"
The four simultaneously look away, without saying anything to her.
