"Alright, Young Master Ertai, this way please."
Upon hearing this, Physician Hu walked over to Ertai's side. Most of the people in the main hall were women, and Ertai, being a boy, was not suitable for treatment in the main hall.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
After Ertai finished speaking, he left with Physician Hu.
...
"Chang Shou, how is Princess Shen?"
The sharp-eyed emperor spotted Changshou carrying a medicine chest and immediately inquired about her.
Just then, Ertai, who had finished treating his wounds, returned. He raised his hand to stop Physician Hu from reporting the situation and stood quietly to the side, wanting to hear what Changshou had to say.
"Princess Shen's condition is rather serious. She is already frail and lacks energy and blood, and the continuous travel over the past few days has taken a toll on her body. She needs to be properly nourished, but some of the medicinal herbs are not available at the Imperial Hospital."
Ertai, standing to the side, silently kept these words in mind.
I plan to go find Changshou after this meeting to ask what medicinal herbs are missing. When I get home, I'll check my family's storeroom and see if my father has them. If not, I'll ask someone to help me find them.
(Furen: My good son, having you is my blessing.)
"Alright, alright, replenish, replenish! Use whatever medicinal herbs you need. Take the good ones, and if you need more, check my storeroom. As long as it's in my private treasury, you can use it."
The Empress Dowager nodded; her little darling was indeed frail.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have listened to the master's advice and raised their little darling outside the palace since she was a child. It's only this year that her health has improved, and she's also reached a certain age.
I consulted a master who said it was safe to return, so I brought my people back. I should have known better than to rush on the journey.
The Empress Dowager secretly regretted it.
"You can also use my private treasury; take whatever medicinal herbs you want."
"If it's not there, send someone to find it immediately."
"My private treasury is also acceptable."
The Empress, who had been listening quietly, spoke up after the Emperor finished speaking, upon hearing Chang Shou's words.
Upon hearing this, the hall fell silent instantly, and everyone looked at the Empress, including the Empress Dowager and the Emperor, their eyes flashing with surprise.
Everyone knows that the Queen is a miserly person who never spends a penny, so it's unexpected that she would say something like this now.
Upon being stared at, the Empress looked somewhat uncomfortable. She turned her head slightly and said awkwardly, "Why are you looking at me? Can't you show some concern for Consort Chen?"
Despite the awkwardness, you could still hear the concern in her tone.
"What about the injuries on your body?"
Finally, it was the Emperor who broke the silence.
"Your back is badly injured from the impact. You shouldn't do any strenuous exercise for a while and should rest in bed."
"The fingers are quite badly injured too. Tsk tsk tsk, that injury... such beautiful hands, it'll probably take a long time to heal."
As they talked, Changshou's topic veered off course, his tone becoming sarcastic.
Thinking about the two completely opposite hands I had just seen, I felt a little regretful; one was flawless, while the other was so bandaged that its original appearance was unrecognizable.
"Chang! Shou!"
Hearing Changshou start to ramble on again, the Emperor felt both love and hate for him. This man was very skilled in medicine, but unfortunately, he was always prone to getting distracted and had a strange temper.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have assigned the person to the Imperial Pharmacy as a herb manager.
"Oh, I'm so sorry, Your Majesty. Don't worry, with me here, Consort Chen's hand will be fine. She used my homemade Jade Bone Ice Skin Cream, and there won't be a single scar."
Hearing the slightly angry voice, Changshou snapped out of his daze, patted his head, and continued to reply.
Inside, Qing'er had already told him about Chen Nian's identity, and a look of heartache appeared in her eyes.
When we get back to the Imperial Pharmacy, I'll send over all the Jade Ice Skin Cream. I also need to figure out how to help Chen Nian's hand injury heal faster.
Thinking about it, Changshou suddenly felt very busy and was about to take his leave from the Emperor to go back to the Imperial Pharmacy to prepare things.
Can……
Upon receiving the message, the Empress Dowager breathed a sigh of relief, and the effects of her initial shock began to show; her energy and spirit vanished instantly.
"Your Majesty—"
"Changshou, quick, check on the Empress Dowager! She was fine just now, what happened?"
Before the Emperor could even calm down, he heard the Empress's worried voice and turned around to look.
Seeing the Empress Dowager suddenly become listless, the Emperor immediately became anxious.
"Um"
Sigh, it's going to be delayed again, Chang Shou sighed silently in his heart.
He quickly stepped forward to begin treating the Empress Dowager.
While Changshou was examining the Empress Dowager, the Emperor saw Physician Hu, who had already finished treating Ertai.
"Doctor Hu, how is Ertai?"
"Your Majesty, Young Master Ertai is alright; it's just a slight sprain in his arm. Some medicine and a liniment for bruises and sprains will suffice."
"Alright, alright, that's settled then. Now, quickly follow Granny Rong to Yonghe Palace to see Consort Yu and Yongqi."
Knowing about Chen Nian's situation, the Emperor breathed a sigh of relief and also thought of Yong Qi and Consort Yu in Yonghe Palace.
"yes"
Physician Hu bowed and left with Granny Rong.
"Changshou, how is the Empress Dowager?"
Just after giving instructions to Physician Hu, Changshou came out again and immediately began to inquire about the Empress Dowager's condition.
"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager is not seriously injured, but she suffered from excessive fright. She had been holding on because of Consort Chen's injury, but now that she has relaxed, her energy has dissipated, and the aftereffects of the fright have appeared."
"But don't worry, Your Majesty, I have just used my exclusive formula, the Tranquilizing Pill, on you. You just need to rest more now."
"well"
"Your Majesty, this humble subject will take his leave."
He wanted to get back to his research as soon as possible; he didn't know how the delicate little girl would react when she woke up.
"Okay, go ahead."
Seeing Changshou's appearance, the Emperor waved his hand impatiently and let him leave.
"You should all leave too. The Empress Dowager and Consort Shen both need rest; don't linger here."
"Alright, you don't need to wait here anymore. The Empress Dowager will definitely be resting today. Come and pay your respects again tomorrow."
After everyone else had left, the Emperor looked at the remaining Empress and Consort Ling and began to dismiss them. He still had to deal with Xiao Yanzi's matter.
Oh, that little swallow...
After everyone left, the Emperor pushed open the door to the room where the Empress Dowager was resting.
Qing'er, who had already finished reading "The Remembrance," was talking to the Empress Dowager about the situation.
"Qing'er, Niannian, what's the situation now?"
The Emperor inquired with concern.
"It's not good. She's still unconscious, her little face is deathly pale, and she keeps murmuring about the pain."
Because of what she was thinking about, Qing'er's impression of Xiao Yanzi was not as good as it was at the beginning of the show, so she naturally wouldn't make excuses for Xiao Yanzi.
But she wouldn't kick him while he was down; she spoke the truth.
She could tell that Xiao Yanzi was quite important to the Emperor.
But she also felt sorry for her delicate little girl and was still angry.
"Your Majesty—"
The Emperor, the Empress Dowager, and Qing'er tried to smooth things over.
Apart from the matter concerning Xiao Yanzi, everything else is happening just like in the original drama.
