Private Residence- Part 1

In the morning, Sheng Li and Ying Lili got ready to leave for the Lotus residence. He stood near the palanquin and helped Ying Lili get into the palanquin. 

"Are you not getting in?" Ying Lili asked him. 

No. I will go on foot," Sheng Li said and pulled the curtain down. The eight porters carried the palanquin upon Sheng Li's orders and started to walk. 

Since the red curtain was translucent, Ying Lili could see the face of Sheng Li. He whispered something to Eunuch Xing-Fu, which Ying Lili was unable to hear. The porters started to walk, carrying the palanquin on their shoulders. Court Lady Xu and Court Lady Ki were on the other side of the palanquin.

"Xing-Fu, you should take a rest for a week. The Royal Physician told me that you asked for stomach ache pills from him," Sheng Li asserted. 

"I am perfectly well, Your Majesty. I will accompany His Majesty," Xing-Fu insisted.
