Lengmei panicked for she didn't expect Chu Tiankuo to be so serious about it. She knew he was getting to the bottom of it for Tang Xia's sake. She hurriedly made up an excuse.
"Your Majesty, I might have caught a cold last night... I didn't feel like eating anything after I got up this morning, and I feel a dull ache in my head. I'm not in good condition... I can't see other people for now." She lifted her silk handkerchief to cover her lips and burst into a spasm of coughing. She frowned slightly, and her face turned pale, making her look more pitiable than Xi Shi.
"Even better. The doctor can also cure your cold. Don't worry. I won't grudge d**g expenses to you." Chu Tiankuo was in a real fury and wasn't moved by Lengmei's pity
