...

They rode swiftly to the imperial mausoleum, where Baili Yingfeng dismounted and helped Miao Nanyan down by the waist.

Miao Nanyan felt his strong hand on her waist, her face flushed, and she felt a mix of emotions.

Baili Yingfeng, who is usually calm and composed, seemed particularly flustered and anxious tonight.

"Where is the imperial physician?!"

"They're on their way. The imperial medical clinic is already in the Empress Dowager's palace."

"That's what the chief eunuch who came to greet us said."

"How have you served her? If anything happens to the Empress Dowager, you will all be buried with her!"

Baili Yingfeng strode inside, with Chen Yuan and Miao Nanyan following behind him.

"Chen Yuan, what exactly happened?"

Miao Nanyan walked quickly forward while asking Chen Yuan in a low voice.

"Empress Dowager Hesheli is seriously ill."

Chen Yuan answered in a low voice.

Upon hearing these words, Miao Nanyan understood.

Although Empress Dowager Hesheli was not Baili Yingfeng's biological mother, she raised him and helped him consolidate his power after the late emperor's death.

Baili Yingfeng would naturally have deep feelings for this Empress Dowager.

After the late emperor passed away, Empress Dowager Hesheli came to guard the imperial mausoleum, and the other imperial concubines followed her.

Baili Yingfeng led the group through one gray-white palace gate after another, around the corridors, and along several winding paths, finally arriving at the imperial mausoleum's sleeping quarters.

Baili Yingfeng frowned, his face anxious and angry. His mother had always been healthy, so how could she have fallen ill so suddenly?

This illness came on so suddenly.
