"sick?"
"That's right."
"Dr. Ye, can you cure Mother's illness?"
Ye Qingcheng shook her head: "This illness could have been cured with surgery, but the Empress Dowager is too old to withstand surgery."
"Surgery? Doctor Ye, what do you mean...?" Doctor Fang asked after hearing this.
"Craniotomy."
"What? Brain surgery? This...this...I've never heard of anything like this before!"
"Yes! How can a person live if their head is ripped open!"
"Yeah, that's absolutely shocking!"
"That's right."
"You audacious vixen, I think you don't want to save the Empress Dowager, but rather kill her!" The Empress, hearing the whispers of the imperial physicians, seized the opportunity to question Ye Qingcheng.
Ye Qingcheng glanced at the Empress, ignored her, and looked at the Emperor.
"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager is too old to undergo brain surgery. However, please rest assured, I will do my best to save her."
"Very well, Physician Ye, as long as you can cure the Empress Dowager, I will reward you handsomely."
"Don't worry! I won't let anything happen to the Empress Dowager, Your Majesty. I'm going to give the Empress Dowager acupuncture now, so please clear everyone out."
The emperor nodded after hearing this: "Did you all hear that? You may all leave!"
"Your Majesty, we don't know where this vixen came from. She always wears a veil and dares not show her true face. Are you really going to let her stay to treat the Empress Dowager?"

Upon hearing this, Physician Fang immediately knelt down: "Your Majesty, this old minister is innocent! This really is Physician Ye! Even if you gave me a hundred lives, I would never dare to deceive Your Majesty!"
After hearing this, the emperor looked at Ye Qingcheng and asked, "Are you really the Divine Physician Ye?"
Ye Qingcheng smiled and said, "It is true that my surname is Ye, but I dare not accept the title of divine doctor. I am just quite knowledgeable about medicine."
"Hmm! If that's the case, then the Empress Dowager's illness will be entrusted to you."
Ye Qingcheng bowed respectfully and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."
Upon hearing this, the Empress immediately panicked: "Your Majesty..."
"Alright, Your Majesty, Mother had just stopped breathing, but this little girl came and brought her back to life. This kind of skill in bringing the dead back to life is even better than that of a divine physician, if not a divine physician."
"But…"
"Alright, all of you, step back!"
The Empress wanted to say something more, but the Emperor interrupted her and dismissed everyone.
