Song Zhiyuan was somewhat surprised; that his mother would personally summon him to speak was the first such instance since her illness.
With his mother's summons, naturally, he couldn't show negligence. Song Zhiyuan told his attendant Fu Quan, "Go tell the Madam that I will accompany the Dowager for dinner, so there's no need to keep a meal for me."
"Yes, Prime Minister."
Song Zhiyuan strolled towards Chunhui Hall.
As he reached Chunhui Hall, he happened to see Lin Qing walking out of the main hall, so he paused.
Lin Qing stood by the door, slightly turned her body, bowed respectfully to Song Zhiyuan, and then went through the small door towards her bamboo studio.
Song Zhiyuan entered the main hall, bowed to Song Ci, and said with a smile, "Mother's health seems to be improving; it looks like Doctor Lin's medical skills are truly outstanding."
