Nanny Zhang led her into the house. The queen was asleep most of the time, and a group of imperial doctors were standing by.
The room was filled with the bitter smell of medicinal herbs. Bai Susu felt a little breathless when she was inside.
Emperor Xuan Jing felt that the empress was in her prime and should not die like this, so he ordered the Imperial Medical Bureau to save the empress. The imperial physicians stayed with her day and night, but the medicines she fed her seemed to have fallen into a bottomless black hole, and the empress's health was declining day by day.
Nanny Zhang stepped forward, half-lifting the bed curtain and whispering, "Your Majesty is very weak now."
Bai Susu looked over and saw that the queen's eyes were indeed tightly closed. Her face was very thin, her cheeks were sunken, and her cheekbones were slightly protruding.

Bai Susu was startled for a moment, then understood what he meant. She stroked her belly with her hand and said, "The imperial physician said everything is fine."
