The Empress Dowager could only shake her head and sigh, "Your Majesty, I will go and see her. Don't worry too much. She is a good child, and good fortune will always be with her."

After saying that, she went into the room.

Before stepping over the threshold, she made a point of looking back at the emperor.

But the emperor seemed completely oblivious to her.

It seems that all he could think about was Gu Jiangli, whose life hung by a thread.

The Empress Dowager was also grieved. She understood that the Emperor did not enter not because he could, but because he dared not.

His feelings for Gu Jiangli are something that ordinary people find hard to understand and empathize with.

But as the emperor's biological mother, she could fully understand his thoughts.

Since he doesn't dare to come in and see, let her, as his mother, come and see.

Upon entering the room, the pungent smell of blood horrified her.

She went to the bedside, where several imperial physicians took turns taking her pulse, administering acupuncture, and feeding her medicine.

Gu Jiangli's eyes were closed, she was unconscious, and her face was completely bloodless, showing none of her previous obedient and charming appearance.

A wave of heartache washed over her. The Empress Dowager clutched her chest, unable to bear the sight any longer, and asked:

"What exactly is wrong with Consort Gu? How confident are you in curing her?"

One of the imperial physicians replied:

"Your Majesty, Consort Gu's condition is truly strange. Without any warning, she suddenly reached the brink of death. It was as if a giant hand had pulled away her life from behind, which was very eerie."

Another imperial physician said, "That's right. I check Consort Gu's pulse every day and have never found anything abnormal or any signs of poisoning."

"However, the life of the child in Consort Gu's womb is exceptionally tenacious. Despite the mother's condition, the fetus is completely unaffected and even shows signs of premature birth."

The Empress Dowager asked hesitantly, "Can you save the child?"

The imperial physician replied sheepishly, "Your Majesty, to be honest, this child's vitality is astonishing. Even if we do nothing, he will surely be born safely. It's just that Consort Gu..."

The imperial physician looked troubled.

The Empress Dowager closed her eyes and took several steps back. After a moment, she said, her voice slightly choked with emotion:

"The child must be protected, and Consort Gu must do everything in her power to protect him, understand?"

"yes."

After speaking, the imperial physicians returned to their work.

Gu Jiangli, who was in a deep sleep, heard everything clearly.

Her body was unable to move, but her mental energy was extremely active.

The thought of the emperor's expression at that time made her heart race with anxiety.

If spiritual power had a physical form, she would be as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.

"Zizai! What's going on?! I'm sure I'm not poisoned, could it be a Gu poison again?"

"But shouldn't you have warned me if I was in danger? I'm about to die!"

[Kiss.] The familiar voice of Zai Zai echoed in my mind. [This time it's not poison, nor is it a curse.]

"Huh? What's that?"

This is a warning.
