The Emperor nodded after hearing this.
About an hour later.
The emperor and his two companions ate and drank their fill, and left the hot pot restaurant satisfied.
The three strolled around the streets for a while before returning to the palace in a carriage.
The emperor had just returned to the palace.
The Empress's spies immediately went back to report.
At this time, the Crown Prince was also in the Empress's palace.
"Mother, our scouts report that the Seventh Prince will be returning to the capital soon. What should we do? He's always been very much favored by Father, and now that he's won a battle, I'm afraid that when he returns..."
"My son, don't worry. Your mother has already made preparations. I guarantee he won't be able to return to the capital," the Empress said calmly.
After hearing this, the Crown Prince nodded: "That's good."
"Yes! My son, you must remember that you are the one who will inherit the throne. You must not act rashly or hastily."
"Yes, Mother." "By the way, Mother, has the Divine Physician Ye found out who he is?"
The Empress shook her head: "It's strange, this witch seems to have appeared out of thin air, and we can't find any clues about her."
"Can't find it?"
“That’s right… The people the Empress Dowager sent out found nothing, not even the secret guards.”
Everyone says that this Divine Doctor Ye appeared out of nowhere five years ago, and until now, not only does no one know what she looks like, but no one even knows where she lives.
"This...how is this possible?"
"My son, if you have some free time recently, go out of the palace more often. There is a person named Doctor Ye in the capital, and I didn't even know it."
"Yes, Mother, Mother, I have an idea."
What are your thoughts?
"Since this Physician Ye's medical skills are so superb, and Father Emperor has personally visited her clinic, he must have already taken a liking to her talent. In that case, why don't we recruit her to our side?"
"The Empress Dowager has also considered this, but as you saw yesterday, this vixen doesn't even want the Emperor's reward. Such a person is probably difficult to bribe."
"Don't worry, Mother. I am the Crown Prince. I don't believe I can't win over a lowly commoner like her."
"Alright! I'll leave this to you. Remember, if you can't use it, there's no need to keep it."
"Yes, Your Majesty, I obey."
"Okay! If there's nothing else, you may leave now!"
"Your subject takes his leave."
On the other side.
After returning to the palace, the Emperor first went to visit the Empress Dowager. Seeing that she was alright, he then returned to his study.
"Eunuch Yin, have someone investigate Doctor Ye as soon as possible."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
…………………………………………
Here in the cold courtyard.
At this moment, Ye Qingcheng sat on a recliner under a peach tree, her beautiful eyes slightly closed, enjoying the fragrance of peach blossoms wafting around her.
Ye Jingyu and Xiao Tao were practicing the tracking and counter-tracking techniques, as well as the method of sound localization, which Ye Qingcheng had taught them.
It was evening.
Ye Jingyu and Xiao Tao then stopped practicing.
"Mother."
After Ye Jingyu stopped practicing, he ran to Ye Qingcheng's side and called out.
Ye Qingcheng opened her eyes: "Yu'er, how's your practice going?"
"Replying to Mother, I have almost mastered it."
"Good, my darling, you're amazing." Ye Qingcheng smiled and patted Ye Jingyu's head.
"Miss, we didn't go to the clinic today. Shall I go there to get a checkup?"
Ye Qingcheng shook her head: "No need. Go to the hot pot restaurant and get some ingredients. We'll have hot pot tonight."
"Yes, Miss."
After Xiaotao finished answering, she climbed over the wall using the retractable ladder built on the wall and left the cold courtyard.
After an unknown amount of time, Xiao Tao returned with a large basket of ingredients.
“Miss, when I went to fetch the ingredients, the village told me that…someone was asking about you today.”
Ye Qingcheng smiled after hearing this: "It's nothing. Haven't they asked about your young lady quite a few times in the past few years?"
"Hehe, that's true."
"Alright, get ready, let's eat hot pot."
"Yes, Miss."
A moment later.
The three of them sat down together and ate hot pot.
Time flies.
In just a short while, it was time to go to bed. The three of them tidied up and went back to their respective rooms.
The next day.
After washing up and having breakfast, the three of them left the courtyard and went to the clinic again.
that's all.
day to day.
Ye Qingcheng shuttled back and forth between the clinic and the cold hospital, but occasionally she would also visit other shops to take a look.
Time flies.
Several days passed in the blink of an eye.
That day.
As soon as Ye Qingcheng and her two companions arrived at the clinic, the Emperor sent someone to invite them to the palace, saying that the Empress Dowager's headache had flared up again.
Upon hearing this, Ye Qingcheng became very anxious and hurriedly entered the palace with her medicine box.
"Dr. Ye, how is my mother's condition?"
After Ye Qingcheng examined the Empress Dowager for a while, the Emperor frowned slightly and asked a question.
At this moment, Ye Qingcheng's expression was also solemn: "Your Majesty, has the Empress Dowager been subjected to any kind of stimulation in recent days?"
"Stimulate?"
The Emperor frowned slightly and pondered for a while, then shook his head and turned to look at the maid who served the Empress Dowager day and night.
"Granny Hua, has the Empress Dowager shown any unusual behavior these past few days?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, there is nothing unusual."
"You insolent fool! If there's nothing unusual, why would Mother suddenly act like this?"
"This...this old servant doesn't know either! This morning the Empress Dowager was fine, but after drinking a bowl of red date and bird's nest soup, she said she had a headache and then fainted."
"Red dates and bird's nest?"
