In the end, under everyone's watchful eyes, Li Yujia humbly apologized to Su Muyao.

Su Muyao didn't bother arguing with her; she was just a spoiled teenage girl.

He shook his sleeves and walked towards the Empress Dowager's palace.

When they arrived at the Empress Dowager's palace, they found a large crowd kneeling at the entrance.

They were all ladies from various palaces, who had come to curry favor after hearing the news.

It's obviously done for the emperor's benefit.

The Emperor whispered to himself by the bedside, "How come such a big matter has become so serious? Why were you only informed of it now?"

"What are you imperial physicians good for?"

Lord Li stammered, “Your Majesty, it was the Empress Dowager who said that Your Majesty is so busy with state affairs that we should temporarily hide.”

The emperor felt a pang of anxiety upon hearing this. Although he hadn't had much of a relationship with the Empress Dowager in his early years, he had come to appreciate the value of family ties as he grew older.

Long Yuan looked at Su Muyao with eager eyes; in his heart, the little one was an omnipotent being.

Su Muyao went forward to examine the Empress Dowager and discovered that she had a tumor in her brain.

This is not something that can be cured by any magical spring water.

Over the past three years, I have learned a lot of medical skills in this space.

To be honest, surgery is necessary in this situation, and she can't guarantee a complete cure.

The Empress Dowager was conscious at this moment, and Su Muyao performed a series of examinations on her.

"The Empress Dowager has a tumor in her brain that needs to be removed, but there's no guarantee the surgery will be successful, so..."

Upon hearing this, the Empress Dowager nodded immediately, for she suffered from headaches every day and night.

If she can be cured, that would be the best outcome; if she can't be cured, she's already come to terms with it by now that she's this old.

Ultimately, they decided to follow Su Muyao's advice and have the craniotomy.

Su Muyao bid farewell to everyone and went back to prepare for the surgery, gathering the necessary items.

The next morning, Su Muyao arrived at the palace with her small medicine box.

"No one is allowed to enter during the surgery. The surgery will take anywhere from half a day to two or three hours, so please be patient."

The emperor and empress nodded quickly.

The imperial physicians all said they were helpless, and the Empress Dowager only had a little over a month to live.

Since the young princess said she had a solution, we should definitely let her give it a try.

Just as everyone had left, Long Yuan turned back and said, "Do you need me to stay and help, or can the imperial physician stay?"

"No need, I can manage on my own."

In fact, Su Muyao really wanted to say that these people staying wouldn't be of any help, and might even affect her surgery because of their overreaction.

Although I have learned most of it, this is my first time putting it into practice.

I felt a little uneasy.

Meanwhile, the imperial physicians on the side were filled with disappointment. They had long heard of the young princess's extraordinary abilities and were eager to see how she cured the Empress Dowager.

If one could glean even a little insight from it...

Although they had these thoughts in their hearts, none of them dared to say them aloud.

After everyone left, Su Muyao studied it for a long time.

Removing something from the brain by cutting open the skull requires a high degree of concentration; there can be absolutely no mistakes.

As Longyuan closed the door, he said, "No matter the outcome, just do your best. Your father and mother won't blame you."

Although she spoke softly, Su Muyao heard it clearly.

This person really knows how to comfort her!

Is it to reduce the pressure on her, or is it because you feel she might not be able to complete the task?

With a single flash, he moved the Empress Dowager into the spatial dimension.

It's obviously not feasible to perform brain surgery in a room; surgery requires a sterile environment.

...

Su Muyao was completely focused on removing the tumor from the Empress Dowager within the space.

Fortunately, it did not spread to any vital areas, nor did it compress any nerves; otherwise, even if the surgery had been successful, the patient would likely have remained in a coma for the rest of their life.

The surgery went smoothly two hours later.

However, she didn't have an assistant by her side, and had to do everything herself, which exhausted Su Muyao.

After stitching up the Empress Dowager's wound, they sprinkled a finely prepared healing pill on it.

The injury was so severe that it was completely uncertain whether the spiritual spring water could heal the head.

The main reason is that I don't dare to gamble on the possibility of something going wrong.

With a thought, the two appeared in the Empress Dowager's palace. At this time, the Empress Dowager's head was wrapped in white gauze, and she was still unconscious.

Su Muyao checked the room thoroughly again, and only opened the door after finding nothing amiss.

Everyone outside the door was waiting anxiously, and when the door was opened, they immediately began to ask questions.

Only Long Yuan thoughtfully stepped forward to support Su Muyao.

Su Muyao calmly said to the emperor, "The surgery was a success."

However, the Empress Dowager is still under anesthesia and will not wake up for some time. During this period, it's best to avoid having too many people visit her.

As soon as Su Muyao finished speaking, Long Yuan said with concern, "Look at your pale face, go and rest first."

The Empress then noticed something unusual about Su Muyao, seeing that she had a little sweat on her forehead and her face was somewhat pale.

They quickly had a courtyard prepared and sent Su Muyao there.

After Su Muyao left, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Especially in the Empress Dowager's palace, the oppressive atmosphere of the past few days was swept away, and everyone's faces lit up with joy.

The emperor couldn't wait to go inside.

Everyone gathered around the bed, their faces full of worry. Soon, the Empress Dowager slowly opened her eyes.

For the past few days, I had been feeling dizzy and had a headache. I knew that the young lady was going to have brain surgery on me, and now that I have been able to wake up again, I know that the surgery was successful.

Although I didn't understand what craniotomy was at first, after the little princess explained it to me, I understood that it means opening up the head and taking out things that shouldn't be inside.

Although it sounds terrifying, it's better than continuing to be in pain like this. Besides, the imperial physician said that even if I endure the pain, I won't live much longer.

Actually, she thought about it all night. She thought that she might not wake up again after closing her eyes this time, so waking up now is a huge surprise.

Before the surgery, he thought he was going to die, but he never expected to survive after his brain was opened.

All the funeral arrangements had already been made, and now I feel a sense of relief.

The nanny beside the Empress Dowager called out loudly, "Your Majesty, you're awake! The little princess is truly a miracle doctor!"

The Emperor scolded, "Your mother has just woken up, so don't disturb her."

"Oh, alright, it was this old servant who was being presumptuous."

Immediately afterwards, the imperial physician who had been waiting also stepped forward to take his pulse.

"The Empress Dowager's brain ailment has indeed been cured. Although she is still in a weak state, her pulse is strong and she will recover in a few days."

The imperial physician still sounded somewhat incredulous as he spoke.

In their practice, it was absolutely impossible for a miracle to occur when a patient with a condition like the Empress Dowager's.

At this moment, Physician Li knelt down before the Emperor with a thud: "Your Majesty, such miraculous skills should be passed down. This old minister is willing to relinquish his position as the deputy head of the Imperial Medical Academy."

"I only wish to be able to follow the young princess, even if I only learn a little bit, it will benefit the people of this region."
