So, Eunuch Li took a deep breath, his chest heaving violently, and deliberately put on a panicked expression.
With trembling hands and small, quick steps, he jogged all the way to the Emperor.
He bowed slightly, his head hanging low, almost touching the ground, and in a low voice, carefully reported the astonishing news to the emperor.
Upon hearing this, the emperor was finally able to express his alarm and worry.
He didn't even have time to straighten the hem of his dragon robe, completely disregarding the presence of the ministers still in the court.
He hastily and loudly announced the end of the court session, his voice trembling slightly.
After saying this, he strode towards the inner palace, his steps so urgent that they seemed to break the ground, creating a whistling gust of wind.
Seeing this, the eunuchs and maids behind them dared not delay for a moment, and hurriedly lifted the corners of their robes, running to catch up with them.
Qin Qianluo stood quietly in place, taking in everything.
Watching the Emperor's hurried departure and his figure gradually disappear into the distance, she whispered in her heart, "Yunbao, is there any medicine in the space that can save the Empress?"
The Empress is so young; it would be truly heartbreaking to see her perish so young.
"Don't panic, Luo Bao," Feng Qingyun comforted him gently.
"The Empress is merely experiencing a temporary imbalance of qi and blood; giving her some spiritual spring water will suffice."
Upon hearing these words, Qin Qianluo's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down. Her hands, which had been trembling slightly with anxiety, gradually regained their composure, and her furrowed brows instantly relaxed.
Meanwhile, the ministers who had been worried and had not left because the Empress had been frightened into premature labor secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
They whispered among themselves, their expressions filled with relief at surviving such a calamity. One of the ministers couldn't help but murmur, "Now we can finally rest easy."
Qin Qianluo dared not delay for a moment and hurriedly reached into her bosom to take out the jade token for entering the palace.
This jade pendant has a warm and delicate texture and feels cool to the touch. It was a gift from the current Empress Dowager.
Qin Qianluo usually cherished it very much and always kept it carefully in a brocade box in her space. She never expected it to come in so useful today.
The jade pendant gleamed softly in the sunlight, as if silently witnessing the tension and anticipation of the moment.
The palace servants also heard the conversation between King Jinrui Zhao and Feng Qingyun and saw this scene.
A clever young palace maid hurriedly ran out from the corner, her expression showing a hint of tension and urgency.
She strode forward, bowed slightly, and said in a clear voice with a hint of flattery, "Your Highness, this way please. I know the way well and will be able to get you to Her Majesty the Empress as soon as possible."
After saying that, he quickly led Qin Qianluo towards the Empress's palace.
The two walked briskly, almost jogging.
Qin Qianluo's skirt brushed past the palace wall, stirring up a gentle breeze that caused the flowers and plants in the corner to sway softly.
Along the way, Qin Qianluo was extremely anxious. When she passed a garden, the rich fragrance of flowers could not distract her for a moment. She only wanted to get to the Empress's side as soon as possible.
The emperor was extremely anxious, his face full of worry, his eyes bloodshot, the veins on his forehead slightly bulging with anxiety, his hands clenched into fists, and his knuckles turning white from the force.
Just as she was about to recklessly break into the Empress's palace, Qin Qianluo finally arrived.
Looking at the Emperor's anxious and worried expression, and his slightly trembling body due to tension, one could see his deep concern for the Empress.
Although Qin Qianluo was deeply moved by the Emperor and Empress's deep affection, she had no time to think about it. She immediately stepped forward and bowed a few steps away from the Emperor.
With a clear and loud voice, and speaking at a rapid pace, she said, "Your Majesty, I have a life-saving medicine that may save the Empress. I humbly request Your Majesty's permission to enter the Empress's palace!"
At this moment, the wind outside the palace seemed to stand still, and everyone's eyes were focused on Qin Qianluo. The whole world seemed to be holding its breath, waiting for the emperor's response.
Ning Chenyi also heard Qin Qianluo's voice. In this extremely urgent moment, her voice was like a ray of dawn suddenly appearing in the dark abyss.
Ning Chenyi's movements froze instantly, his foot, which had been about to step forward, remained suspended in mid-air, as if bound by an invisible and powerful force.
The hand that was hanging in front of the door, about to knock on the door knocker, was slowly lowered, the knuckles turning pale from excessive force.
He turned around hastily, his eyes bloodshot like spider webs, his eye sockets red, like a trapped beast.
He stared intently at Qin Qianluo with anxious eyes and shouted urgently, "Granted! Let her in right away!"
The voice was filled with anxiety and anticipation, and the tone trembled due to the intense fluctuations of emotion.
Every word seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth, carrying a resolute determination that disregarded everything.
After receiving the order, Qin Qianluo ran quickly towards the side hall as if the wind had risen from her feet.
Inside the side hall, the candlelight flickered in the breeze, casting long and short shadows on her figure, like a dreamlike bubble.
Her fingers deftly and swiftly untied the intricate sash, each movement revealing an unwavering decisiveness, the sash sliding swiftly from her fingertips like flowing water.
The outer robe instantly detached from her body and quietly fell to the ground.
Immediately afterwards, she quickly took clean clothes from the clothes rack next to her and put them on neatly.
Then, she raised her hand and carefully tidied her hair, putting the loose strands back in place one by one. She combed each strand meticulously, not daring to delay in the slightest.
Every second was as precious as life to her; every second wasted increased the risk of the empress's life being lost.
Ning Chenyi stared at Qin Qianluo's departing figure, his heart still pounding with anxiety.
