"Imperial Physician Xia, how is the Empress?" The Empress Dowager asked anxiously, looking at the small, porcelain-white hand.
Physician Xia broke out in a cold sweat and secretly glanced at Dugu Lianbai, hoping to help him out of this predicament.
"Mother, the imperial physician just said he can't see any symptoms..." Dugu Lianbai was also helpless. If he can't see anything, does that mean he won't wake up after sleeping like this?
When Shang Xian woke up, she could hear voices around her. She was a little confused, but she still listened quietly to what they were saying.
I heard some of it, and I got the gist of it: she was sick.
Shang Xian then realized that he had slept for a long time!
【CEO, what should I do now?】 Shang Xian decided to ask Shen Yi.
The news of the Empress's illness was known in every palace, including Shenyi.
[Just be flexible and adapt to the situation; the concubines from all the palaces will come to see you soon.]
【Great!】
With Shen Yi's words, Shang Xian felt at ease and continued to lie down.
Shang Xian quietly pulled her hand back a little, feeling a slight chill. She stopped, but finally steeled herself and got out of bed.
As dusk fell, she saw Shang Xian move slightly behind the curtain and exclaimed in surprise, "Your Majesty!"
Shang Xian glanced at her clothes. Luckily, she was alert and had dressed properly while lying on the bed.
She rubbed her head and made a soft "hmm" sound.
"Pull back the curtains," Dugu Qianchen gestured with his chin toward the bed.
As dusk fell, Shang Xian, pale-faced, rubbed his temples.
"Jiu'er, what's wrong?" The Empress Dowager sat by her bedside and asked, holding Shangxian's other hand.
Dugu Lianbai was stunned for a moment when he looked at Shang Xian's face. Not to mention Dugu Lianbai, even Dugu Qianchen was shocked. This woman was really alluring.
Yu Hanzhi, on the contrary, remained calm.
"Last night, a man in black flashed past outside Jinning Palace. After seeing me, he suddenly fainted for some reason." At this point, Shang Xian was already quite weak. Anyone can put on an act!
"Outrageous!" The Empress Dowager slammed her hand on the soft couch in anger, then looked at Dugu Qianchen: "Your Majesty, how could such a thing happen?"
They were all stunned. How could something like this happen in Jinning Palace?
"Your Majesty, it was my fault that the Empress was injured. I will immediately send more people to protect her."
"And that thief, you must bring him back!" the Empress Dowager ordered.
"Your Majesty is busy with many affairs of state, so please leave this matter to me, your younger brother," Dugu Lianbai volunteered.
The Empress Dowager looked at the two brothers with great pleasure and said to Dugu Qianchen, "What do you think, Your Majesty?"
"Since even Bai has spoken, let him handle it." Dugu Qianchen was very satisfied with this younger brother.
Dugu Lianbai smiled and looked at Shang Xian sitting on the bed, his expression meaningful.
A maidservant came in carrying a porcelain bottle, and Dugu Lianbai immediately asked, "What is this?"
"Your Highness, Lady Ning heard that the Empress is ill, so she specially presented this Jade Heart Pill to her," the maid replied respectfully.
Dugu Qianchen looked at Dugu Lianbai and then at Yu Hanzhi, his heart filled with joy.
They both naturally knew what Dugu Qianchen was planning to do, but unexpectedly, Shang Xian spoke first: "Please thank Madam Ning on my behalf. Madam Ning is already very beautiful; it's such a pity that she only holds the title of 'Madam'."
She said with a hint of regret.
The three of them were stunned again. What was this? She wanted to promote Lady Ning? However, Dugu Qianchen was very satisfied, after all, he wanted to make the concubines in the harem fight each other.
