Pilgrim went up to the hall to ask his master to come with him to the hostel and compound the medicine.

He goes to collect his master. In the next sentence the palace gets there first.

那nà長zhǎng老lǎo正zhèng自zì起qǐ身shēn,忽hū見jiàn內nèi宮gōng傳chuán旨zhǐ,教jiào閣gé下xià留liú住zhù法fǎ師shī,同tóng宿sù文wén華huá殿diàn。 那nà长zhǎng老lǎo正zhèng自zì起qǐ身shēn,忽hū见jiàn内nèi宫gōng传chuán旨zhǐ,教jiào阁gé下xià留liú住zhù法fǎ师shī,同tóng宿sù文wén华huá殿diàn。

The elder was just rising when word came out from the inner palace: the cabinet was to keep the Master of the Law where he was, and lodge him overnight in the Hall of Literary Glory.

The order is dressed as hospitality and phrased so that there is nobody to refuse: the cabinet is to keep the Master of the Law where he is, and put him up for the night in the Hall of Literary Glory. 宿 is sù, to pass the night. 教 is jiào, to have somebody do something.

待dài明míng朝zhāo服fú藥yào之zhī後hòu,病bìng痊quán酬chóu謝xiè,倒dào換huàn關guān文wén送sòng行xíng。 待dài明míng朝zhāo服fú药yào之zhī后hòu,病bìng痊quán酬chóu谢xiè,倒dào换huàn关guān文wén送sòng行xíng。

Once the medicine had been taken the next morning and the sickness cured, there would be thanks and gifts, the travel rescript would be signed over, and they would be seen on their way.

Every clause of the promise is conditional on the king recovering. 朝 is zhāo here, morning — 明朝 is tomorrow — where a moment ago the same character was cháo, the court, in 朝門. 倒換關文 is standard pilgrimage business: every kingdom endorses the travel papers before the party is allowed to leave, so withholding them is a real hold.


總評 Commentary

Pilgrim comes to collect his master and finds the palace has moved first. The order arrives dressed as hospitality: a night in the Hall of Literary Glory, thanks and gifts to follow, the travel papers signed over, and the party seen on its way.

Every clause of it is conditional on the king getting well, and nothing in the wording admits that a hostage is being taken. That is why Tripitaka has to say it himself in the next breath.
