"I'm sorry to trouble you to stay here and be confined for now!"
Physician Chang nodded.
"I understand, I understand!"

"Your Majesty, this is too sudden!"
"His Majesty is in good health and has always been unharmed! I only hope that no one has plotted against him!"
"Yes, Your Majesty, this concerns the fate of the nation; we must investigate this thoroughly!"
The Empress Dowager spoke slowly.
"I understand, no one wants to accept the Emperor's sudden passing!"
"My grief is stronger than anyone else's!"
"However, I must pull myself together!"
"A country cannot be without a ruler for a single day! I, your humble servant, can only temporarily assume the emperor's role to handle state affairs!"
"We will pass the throne to Mu'er after he comes of age!"

The news eventually reached the ears of the Sparrow Consort.
Consort Que was overjoyed upon hearing this!
"Ye Ling, that man who thinks with his lower body, has finally passed away!"
"Let me tell you, a man who overuses his kidneys will have his sperm and worms go to his brain, which will shorten his lifespan!"
