"Where is the person who revealed the Imperial Edict?" Suddenly, a mocking voice sounded.

Everyone turned to look, and it turned out Eunuch Li was coming over with a few other eunuchs. He was a favorite around The Emperor.

The commander of the Imperial Guard hurriedly went up to him, smiling obsequiously: "Oh my! Isn’t it just receiving someone? Why did Eunuch Li have to come personally?" 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Eunuch Li raised his fingers delicately, his voice sharp, his face full of helplessness, and said: "There’s no other way, is there? The Empress Dowager is ill, and we’re anxious to find the Divine Doctor. The Emperor is so worried he can’t eat or sleep and has lost a lot of weight; watching him makes me feel distressed. When he heard someone revealed the Imperial Edict, The Emperor was overjoyed and immediately sent me to bring the person."

The commander’s smile persisted: "Eunuch Li works hard for The Emperor, day and night. It’s exhausting."

Eunuch Li: "For The Emperor, my hardship means nothing; even sacrificing my life would be worth it."

The commander hurriedly nodded and bowed: "Yes, yes, Eunuch Li is right. We live off The Emperor’s resources, so we carry The Emperor’s worries."

Being the Emperor’s favorite, the other servants in the palace scrambled to ingratiate themselves. Eunuch Li looked around with unconcealed pride and said sharply: "By the way, where is this Divine Doctor who revealed the Imperial Edict? I need to quickly bring them into the palace to treat the Empress Dowager."

Suddenly, Eunuch Li’s gaze froze. He looked at a girl a few meters away, stammering: "Miss... Madam Situ... Why are you... here?"

The exceptionally beautiful girl at the palace gate was indeed Situtu Xueer. She smiled faintly and said: "Greetings, Eunuch Li. It was I who revealed the Imperial Edict."

The commander of the Imperial Guard was also stunned: "Eunuch Li, you know this girl?"

Eunuch Li: "She... She is Madam Situ from the War Prince’s Mansion. How did she reveal the Imperial Edict?"

The commander was equally shocked, saying: "She... She... is indeed the one who revealed the Imperial Edict."

"What?" Eunuch Li looked incredulously at the commander, who nodded vigorously, then turned to Situtu Xueer and asked: "Madam Situ, did you truly reveal the Imperial Edict?"

Situtu Xueer nodded: "Yes, I did. So what?"

Eunuch Li finally came to his senses and said: "Treating the Empress Dowager’s illness is not child’s play. If it doesn’t get cured, it could cost lives. Besides no reward, it could cost you your life. Madam Situ, I advise you to think twice before acting. If anything happens, don’t assume the War Prince can save you. You must know, The Emperor is very filial to the Empress Dowager; if anything happens, he won’t let you off."

Eunuch Li rattled off a lot.

Xuexue remained unmoved: "What’s wrong with earning money with my own skills?"

Eunuch Li understood—the Madam was eyeing the ten thousand taels of gold—so he advised: "Madam, The Emperor’s money is not easy to earn, so please think it over."

Eunuch Li repeatedly tried to stop her from entering the palace. Situtu Xueer felt a bit annoyed and asked: "Eunuch Li, did The Emperor decree that I can’t treat the Empress Dowager’s illness?"

The Emperor is so anxious about the Empress Dowager’s illness that he can’t eat or sleep. The palace is in desperate need of a Divine Doctor. Madam Situ’s insistence, along with The Emperor waiting for news in the palace...

Eunuch Li had no choice but to take Situtu Xueer into the Imperial Palace.

However, along the way to the Empress Dowager’s palace, he repeatedly advised Xuexue to think carefully and never joke with the Empress Dowager’s life.

Xuexue’s ears were becoming tired from hearing it, and just as she was about to reach her limit, they finally arrived at the Empress Dowager’s palace.

Eunuch Li stopped walking and said: "Madam Situ, I’ve talked so much that my mouth is dry. If you still insist on treating the Empress Dowager, then please go ahead."

The palace maid closely attending to the Empress Dowager already knew someone had revealed the Imperial Edict and was waiting at the palace gate.
