"Ah Yuan!"
Helian Jue strode forward and soon arrived at the palace.
Another group of palace servants knelt down in a flurry.
They lay prostrate on the ground, not daring to raise their heads.
The saint looked terrifying at that moment, covered in mud and covered in dust.
There were bloodstains on the hem of the clothes.
He exuded a chilling aura from the inside out, along with a terrifying killing intent.
He's like a monster about to burst through the dam; in the next instant, he'll tear people to shreds!
They never knew that their saint could be so cruel and bloodthirsty.
Furthermore, the immense pressure emanating from the emperor instilled fear in everyone from the bottom of their hearts.
If only Her Majesty were still awake.
The Empress is always kind and never punishes her servants easily.
Even if they make a mistake, they act in accordance with the law and rules, and never let their personal emotions dictate their actions.
Moreover, the emperor has always cherished the empress.
Even when the emperor is angry, only the empress can calm him down.
But now—
All the eunuchs and maids in Jiaofang Palace trembled with fear and prayed incessantly to Heaven: "Heavens, if you have eyes, please let the Empress wake up quickly!"
Waaah, if anything were to happen to Her Majesty, all of us palace servants would probably be buried with her!
Helian Jue stood in front of the bed and slowly squatted down.
He stretched out his hand, only to find that his palm was also covered in yellow soil.
This must be from the city gate, where he got dirty when he fell off his horse and rolled on the ground.
Besides the dust, there were also streaks of blood.
Yes, the ground wasn't just covered in yellow soil, but also had small pebbles.
My elbows, palms, and other areas were all cut by these.
Helian Jue was always a clean person, and he knew that A Yuan was also a person who valued cleanliness.
When building the Prince's Mansion in Lingnan, A Yuan also specially constructed a hot spring pool.
In fact, people in ancient times did not bathe every day; the imperial court had fixed "rest days" as holidays.
A day off, as the name suggests, is a day off specifically for people to take a bath.
Xie Yuan, however, was a person who liked to take baths every day. After the hot spring pool was built, he would take a bath every few days.
The couple shared a common requirement regarding cleanliness.
But at this moment, Helian Jue was covered in mud, his hair was disheveled, and he looked miserable.
He himself was unaware of it or paid any attention to it along the way.
However, when he wanted to touch his wife with his own hands, he hesitated.
"No way! A-Yuan will dislike it!"
Helian Jue stared intently at Xie Yuan's face, which was pale and bloodless, as if she were asleep.
Her appearance had also been tidied up.
There was no bloodstain from vomiting blood, nor any residue left from inducing vomiting to detoxify.
Her long hair was spread out on the jade pillow, and her exposed skin was clean and tidy.
She changed into a white nightgown and covered herself with a thin silk quilt.
Her breathing was steady, and she did not appear to be critically ill.
Looking at her peaceful sleeping face, Helian Jue had the illusion that she would wake up if he gently called her name.
"Ah Yuan! I'm back!"
"Ah Xi is back!"
Helian Jue withdrew his dirty hands and spoke softly to Xie Yuan.
However, Xie Yuan did not react.
Her eyes were closed, and she was completely unconscious.
"Your Majesty, Her Majesty's pulse is not abnormal!"
"The toxins in her body have all been cleared out, so she should be able to wake up."
Physician Feng was a talent personally discovered and trained by Xie Yuan in Lingnan, and was naturally a staunch confidant of Xie Yuan.
Moreover, over the past seven or eight years, Xie Yuan had been instilling some medical knowledge from later generations into Physician Feng.
For example, in cases of poisoning, in addition to taking the appropriate antidote, methods such as inducing vomiting can also be used.
When Xie Yuan fell into a coma, Physician Feng was immediately "invited" by the Embroidered-Robe Envoy.
When they arrived at the Prince of Ruyang's residence, Physician Feng's legs were trembling.
However, he quickly put himself into a state of emergency and treated Xie Yuan according to his knowledge.
In fact, Physician Feng was able to successfully remove all the toxins from Xie Yuan's body.
Besides the good deeds Xie Yuan sowed back then, there was another person who made a great contribution—
ginkgo!
Bai Guo was a nanny who served Empress Xiao for over twenty years.
When the master and servant took revenge on the late emperor, the medicine that caused the emperor to suffer a stroke was carefully prepared by Bai Guo.
Perhaps in saving lives, Bai Guo was not as good as her relative, Physician Feng.
But when it comes to making and detoxifying poisons, she far surpasses Physician Feng.
After returning to the capital with Xie Yuan, Physician Feng happened to meet Bai Guo and wanted to recognize her as his relative.
Bai Guo dared not reveal her identity as the daughter of the Feng family, a renowned family of physicians, and did not want to implicate Physician Feng.
It just so happened that the Third Prince and his wife were not behaving themselves at that time, so Empress Dowager Xiao sent Bai Guo to the Prince of Yan's residence as a head maid.
Three years ago, due to Empress Dowager Xiao's strong demands and Bai Guo's firm execution, the gates of the Prince of Yan's mansion were kept tightly closed, thus preventing them from being drawn into the chaos.
Perhaps seeing the fate of Chen Fuli, Cui Erlang, and others, or perhaps witnessing once again the "invincibility" of the Emperor and Empress, the Third Prince became completely obedient after this incident.
Ginkgo remained with the Princess of Yan.
Empress Dowager Xiao was a person who "clearly distinguished between rewards and punishments," and the late emperor had been dead for several years, while the new emperor Helian Jue had surpassed the late emperor in prestige and achievements.
Empress Dowager Xiao was no longer so wary.
She sent her a ginkgo seed, allowing her to regain her original surname and reunite with her family.
And so, having gone through the formalities, Bai Guo and Physician Feng became increasingly close.
