She was too careless; she should have seen it coming during the fire at Cixi Palace!
He has a heart condition, and he's managed to hold on until now.
Without hesitation, she ran straight to the door and shouted for Physician Lü and Doctor Wu.
When she turned around again, the emperor was already slumped over the table, in a deep sleep.
————
Doctor Wu and Physician Lü were staying in a side hall of Jinghe Palace, so it wouldn't take them too long to get here.
When they arrived and saw the emperor's condition, they immediately became very serious.
For them, fainting in someone with heart disease symptoms is a serious matter and should not be underestimated.
Gu Jiangli waited anxiously by the bedside for Dr. Wu to give his diagnosis after taking her pulse.

"I know you want me to get better, but there's no need to comfort me like this."
Gu Jiangli sighed helplessly, "Your Majesty, besides you, Consort Yu, the other princes, and the late Emperor, who else knows about Consort Yu's promise to take you out of the palace?"
The emperor was greatly surprised, his eyes filled with doubt as he looked at Gu Jiangli.
Gu Jiangli then said, "Since no one else is alive to know about the promise between you and Consort Yu, how could I possibly find out about this information and use it to comfort you?"
