A person can hide their skills, but not their illness. Gu Jiao, after taking the Empress's pulse, found her to be somewhat weak, but otherwise fine.

In other words, she was far from being in such a critical condition as to require medication from a Yan Country pharmacist.

She could not have gone merely for the sake of socializing.

Nurse Cai came in with a tray of fresh fruits. Gu Jiao quickly glanced at her: "Nurse Cai, you look pale recently. Are you feeling unwell? Let me check you too?"

Nurse Cai was taken aback: "Ah, this...this..."

"Let her check." The emperor said to Nurse Cai.

"Oh." Nurse Cai, not knowing what was going on, took a look at the Empress who seemed usual, then walked over to let Gu Jiao take her pulse.
