In truth, Princess Consort Rui was in robust health, but when the servants had carried her message back to Prince Rui's Mansion and received no response, they had no choice but to return and tell a well-intentioned lie.
If Yongjia were to find out that even Prince Rui's Mansion refused to back her up, she would likely reach the end of her tether on the spot.
"County Princess, please look after your own health first. Her Highness has merely caught a chill and suffered a momentary shock; she will be fully recovered after a few days of rest and recuperation. Her Highness specifically instructed us to take good care of you. If for no other reason, County Princess, you must set your mind at ease for the sake of Her Highness's deep concern for you."
