Royal Public Hospital
Fa Mu Lan Point Of View
"Consort Mu Lan please don't push yourself working if you get sick who will take care of the kids?" Prince Xian Zhen stops me on my track going to Xi Ben, my four-year-old patient.
"Prince Zhen I don't have time to rest the kids needed me" I reason out to him.
"Prince Zian is correct Mu Lan," my Mǔqīn (Mother) told me carrying the porridge for the kids to eat. "You need to rest also maybe your husband the Emperor is looking at you right now. You have been here for two days now even not taking shower what will be the Emperor going to tell you? You are neglecting your duty as a wife." she continued on ranting on me.
His mother doesn't know his situation inside the palace, every time she asks me about my life being the Emperor's wife I lied to her and tells her I am ashamed to talk about it.
"Ok, but please call me right away if something happens here. I will leave Xiulan here to help all of you and I will take Xi Men, she needs to rest also" I told them reluctantly. I wake up Xi Men on the chair she was sleeping. Like me, she doesn't have sleep also because she doesn't like to leave my side at the hospital. Xiulan got full rest yesterday because I push her to go home.
