After finishing the drink, the Noble Consort set the medicine bowl down, and Cai Qin timely offered up a handkerchief.
Cai Xia watched Cai Qin with hidden resentment, herself having served the medicine from start to finish, orchestrating everything, while this wretched girl always swooped in at the last moment with a handkerchief to steal the credit.
The Noble Consort took the handkerchief and wiped her mouth, letting out a cold laugh, "The Imperial Physicians are becoming more useless by the day. I've drunk so much medicine, and yet it's all for naught, what difference does it make whether I drink it or not?"
Cai Xia dared not respond to these words; she couldn't possibly say that Her Ladyship's headache was congenital, incurable, and only manageable with temporary relief, right?
With her eyes cast down, Cai Qin calmly said, "Your Ladyship, drinking the medicine does ease the headache somewhat, and it allows for better sleep during the night."
