Emperor Cheng'an wanted to lash out, but looking at his calm and distant gaze, and considering that this was his only remaining son, he could not afford to lose his heart again. So he could only hold back and said wearily, "Enough, we'll talk about this later. You can go back now. Summon the Chief Secretary of the Prince of Qin."
As Xue Heng went out, he saw Wang Deshun enter the hall with his head bowed and eyes lowered.

"It's a joyous occasion."
Wang Deshun bowed respectfully, then said in a high-spirited and joyful tone, "A few days ago, Master Huodong sent a message saying that he has refined a new elixir that may cure Your Highness's leg ailment."

Emperor Cheng'an's eyelids twitched more and more violently, and he grew increasingly impatient. He tapped the table and said, "Get to the point."
Wang Deshun bowed his head deeply, unable to hide his joy, and said, "The 'five planets aligning' phenomenon did indeed occur the other day. Your Highness followed the Master's words and your bones and muscles were indeed reshaped, and your legs were healed!"
