"What do you mean?" the Queen asked.
"Your Highness, Your Highness has fainted," said Imperial Physician Zhou in a panic.
"You! What on earth is the Imperial Medical Academy doing?" The Empress kicked Imperial Physician Zhou in anger.
Physician Zhou collapsed to the ground, but quickly got up again.
"Your Majesty! Your humble servant will administer acupuncture to the Crown Prince."
Imperial Physician Zhou wiped the sweat from his forehead.
He couldn't understand why the crown prince's illness had progressed so quickly.
Each time, he would prescribe medicine and have the people in the Eastern Palace prepare it.
Seeing that the Empress did not object, Imperial Physician Zhou, with trembling hands, took out silver needles from his medicine box.
The prince lay motionless on the couch, as if he were dead.
The imperial physician, Zhou, inserted the needle into the side of the forehead, which terrified everyone watching.
The crown prince frowned in pain.
Physician Zhou breathed a sigh of relief; it was good that there was a response.
You must wake up at least once and speak a few words to the Emperor.
Given the Crown Prince's benevolence, he will surely plead for the Imperial Hospital before the Emperor.
It doesn't matter if Imperial Physician Zhou dies, as long as the entire Imperial Medical Academy isn't harmed.
When the Empress goes mad, no one can stop her.

When Granny Gan appeared at the General's Mansion, the General and his wife were completely bewildered.
Is the Empress addicted to scolding people?
Do they think the General's Mansion is an easy target?
This time, it was General Jiang's turn to greet the guests.
General Jiang said, "I wonder what the old woman wants with my daughter? The Empress is of noble status, and there is no reason to release her and then call her back."
"General, you misunderstand! It was truly out of necessity to invite Miss Jiang today, because the Empress had a reason to invite Miss Jiang to the palace," said Granny Gan with an awkward smile.
This reason cannot be known to more people.
Granny Gan was extremely anxious. If she couldn't invite Miss Jiang, the Empress would blame her for being useless after the Crown Prince's accident.
Miss Jiang will also be punished as a result.
General Jiang's reputation was such that he dared not even give face to the Emperor.
It now appears the rumors were true.
Granny Gan had already given her name, and General Jiang didn't even allow his servants to call his wife and daughter.
Granny Gan has already drunk her third cup of tea.
Donghua rushed to Yunxiang Courtyard.
She had many friends throughout the general's mansion.
Soon they learned that the Empress had sent someone to look for the young lady again.
"Miss, what exactly does Her Majesty the Empress want to do?"
Jiang Chuwei stood up: "Why don't we go and see for ourselves?"
"But the master doesn't want you to go!" Donghua tried to stop him.
Regardless of whether they are dry or wet nannies, as long as they come with ill intentions, the general will still kick them out.
"Let's go! Let's see what the Empress is up to this time," Jiang Chuwei said casually.
When Granny Gan saw Jiang Chuwei, she almost burst into tears.
Seeing the ecstatic look in Granny Gan's eyes.
Jiang Chuwei: ...
This change of expression is too fast; she's practically a different person from last time.
General Jiang saw his daughter and said, "Wei'er, what are you doing out here? I will stand up for you. You don't need to be afraid of anyone."
Jiang Chuwei said, "Father, your daughter is here. Please go inside first."
My father was a rough and straightforward man.
Some social skills still require a woman's approach.
Judging from Granny Gan's attitude, she won't leave until she gets someone to help her.
Judging from his father's demeanor, he was determined to see it through to the end.
If he doesn't come out, these two shouldn't wait until tomorrow.
When Granny Gan saw Jiang Chuwei, it was as if she had seen a savior: "Miss Jiang, this old servant has something to say to you."
General Jiang said, "Wei'er, if you don't want to go, you don't have to force yourself. Your father will take care of everything."
"Father, don't worry, I know what I'm doing," Jiang Chuwei reassured him.
General Jiang then left the main hall.
Granny Gan immediately bowed respectfully: "Please, Miss Jiang, save my life!"
"Whose life should we save?" Jiang Chuwei's mind raced.
“It’s the Crown Prince!” Granny Gan said in a voice that only the two of them could hear.
Jiang Chuwei looked at her cautiously: "Aren't there imperial physicians in the palace?"
"The imperial physician has also been summoned, but Her Majesty the Empress only trusts Miss Jiang," said Granny Gan obsequiously.
Jiang Chuwei could tell from her expression that it didn't seem fake.
“Let’s go, I’ll go to the palace with you,” Jiang Chuwei said.
"Yes, Miss Jiang, please." Granny Gan quickly led the way.
As soon as Jiang Chuwei stepped into the carriage, she was utterly astonished.
This was completely different from his previous visit to the palace.
The carriage was covered with thick carpets.
The tea is ready.
The carriage was spacious enough to seat seven or eight people.
A palace maid respectfully served tea.
Qiu Shu stared in disbelief.
Why did the Empress undergo such a complete 180-degree change?
Jiang Chuwei pondered: It seems the Crown Prince's illness is quite serious.
How could the Empress feel comfortable letting her go for treatment?
She simply had a miscarriage preserved in the palace.
Let's play it by ear.
Jiang Chuwei didn't want to cause trouble.
Arrived at the East Palace.
Seeing the sweating profusely of Physician Zhou and the furious face of the Empress.
Jiang Chuwei walked to the bedside, and when she saw the Crown Prince's expression, she frowned.
"The Emperor has arrived!" a shrill voice rang out.
Everyone knelt down.
The emperor was quite surprised to see Jiang Chuwei present.
The imperial physician Zhou kept his head on the ground, not daring to lift it.
"Zhou Zhitong, stand up and speak!"
The emperor said coldly.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Imperial Physician Zhou stood up, swaying as if he almost fell to the ground again.
The Emperor, annoyed, said, "You old bones of yours are useless, so I'll just burn them all."
Imperial Physician Zhou's face turned deathly pale.
"Your Majesty! The Crown Prince has fainted."
"I'm not blind. I'm just asking if the Crown Prince can wake up!"
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty... Your Majesty, I do not know." Imperial Physician Zhou could only try to say something unpleasant.
