"Imperial Father, has Imperial Grandmother been possessed?" The Fourth Prince recalled how the Empress Dowager refused to sleep, her eyes wide open like a Copper Gong, which indeed looked quite frightening.

The Emperor: "Possessed by what? I had Celestial Master Zhang take a look, and Zhang said there’s nothing wrong, just that she suffered a shock and hasn’t recovered yet."

Fourth Prince: "Does the Master mean that even if Imperial Grandmother doesn’t take medicine, she will eventually return to normal?"

The Emperor: "That’s not certain. If she remains confused, who knows how many days she can live."

Indeed, ever since returning from the Temple of Ten Thousand Buddhas, the Empress Dowager refused to sleep and had become severely emaciated. If it continued like this, she wouldn’t live many days.

Fourth Prince: "I am also heartbroken."

The Emperor saw that the time was ripe and quickly said, "Then my Imperial Son should quickly invite the Divine Doctor into the palace to treat the Empress Dowager."

"Ah?"

The Emperor’s turn was too abrupt, leaving the Fourth Prince momentarily confused: "Imperial Father, what are you saying?"

The Emperor: "The Divine Doctor is so skilled, he even cured your eyes. Invite him to treat your Imperial Grandmother, and perhaps she’ll recover immediately!"

The Fourth Prince smiled faintly.

Lin Kong indeed had great abilities, but unfortunately, he wasn’t a healer. The Fourth Prince felt trapped, with bitterness and no words to express it. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

After all, he boasted greatly before, claiming the Divine Doctor healed his gouged-out eyes, and the Emperor saw his eyes personally. If he now said there was no Divine Doctor, the Emperor might think the Fourth Prince doesn’t want to cure the Empress Dowager’s illness, inciting anger against him.

The Fourth Prince remained silent.

The Emperor grew anxious, drawing closer to the Fourth Prince and eagerly asking, "Imperial Son, what do you think? When will you bring the Divine Doctor into the Imperial Palace to treat your Imperial Grandmother?"

The Fourth Prince was in a dilemma, hesitantly replying, "In a few days, the Divine Doctor is traveling and hasn’t returned yet."

The Emperor looked anxious: "Then quickly send someone to find him. The Empress Dowager’s illness cannot be delayed."

Fourth Prince: "The Divine Doctor is roaming the Western Seas, his whereabouts uncertain, impossible to find."

The Emperor: "Then what shall we do? The Empress Dowager’s illness cannot wait!"

Fourth Prince: "Imperial Father, don’t be anxious, I’ll try to find a way, send someone to contact the Divine Doctor. Imperial Grandmother is blessed by the heavens, she will be alright."

Hearing this, the Emperor smiled with relief, nodding repeatedly, saying: "Good, good, Xuanxuan is truly filial, no wonder Imperial Grandmother cherishes you so much."

At this moment, Eunuch Li came to report that someone has taken the Imperial Edict and is waiting for orders Outside the Meridian Gate.

Upon hearing this, the Emperor was delighted; the Imperial Edict had been posted for several days without any response, causing much anxiety. Today was the first time someone took the Imperial Edict.

The Emperor: "Quickly, have him go to the Empress Dowager’s palace to treat her."

"Yes!" Eunuch Li replied, eagerly turning and leaving.

During these days of the Empress Dowager’s illness, the atmosphere in the Imperial Palace was oppressive, everyone walked cautiously fearing they might make a noise that angers the Emperor, inviting disaster upon themselves.

Now, finally, someone had taken the Imperial Edict. As long as the Empress Dowager recovers, the Emperor will be pleased, relieving the palace’s tense atmosphere, allowing the servants brighter days without constant anxiety.

Thinking of this, Eunuch Li quickened his pace, aiming to quickly bring the Divine Doctor into the palace to treat the Empress Dowager.

Outside the Meridian Gate.

A couple of luxurious carriages were parked, and a young woman in a light purple dress revealed an elegant neckline and clearly visible collarbones, her long black hair tied up, adorned with a Butterfly Hairpin, and a strand of hair fell gracefully down her chest; lightly applied makeup only enhanced the color, with her cheeks subtly blushed, her skin looking as delicate as flower petals, creating a charming and pure appearance like a butterfly fluttering in the wind or clear, transparent ice and snow.

The Imperial Guard at the palace gates were entranced. This woman was truly stunning, far surpassing the Consorts and Noble Consort in beauty.
