Before long, Mo Shang arrived at Deyang Palace. When he saw the more than 1,000 Imperial Guards guarding the palace and the Imperial Guards from Hejian at the palace gate, Mo Shang was relieved.
"Your subject, the Supervisor of the Imperial Workshop for the manufacture of Mo Shang, pays respects to the Empress Dowager!"
"Lord Moyang, what are you doing here...!"
"Your Majesty, I have come to pay my respects..."
"You're now one of the emperor's confidants, so it wouldn't hurt for you to go in and take a look...!"
"Thank you, Empress Dowager!!"
Dou Miao sighed softly, then had someone lead Mo Shang to the inner hall.
Upon seeing the emperor lying unconscious on the couch, Mo Shang's mind immediately went blank.
"Your Majesty~....!"
Mo Shang, who had practiced martial arts for many years, also became somewhat erratic in his breathing and hurriedly went over.
After finally understanding the illness from Hua Tuo and others, Mo Shang was relieved. He then reported the events outside the palace to Dou Miao and knelt before her to apologize to the Empress Dowager.
"You scoundrel...! How dare you slander me like this!!"
Upon hearing the news reported by Mo Shang, Dou Miao was also furious.

Yang Qiu, Song Feng, and Xun Shuang immediately stepped forward.
"The three of you go and investigate immediately. I want to see who dares to cause trouble at this time, daring to sow discord between me and the Emperor. Anyone connected to this rumor will be punished for disrupting the court, without any leniency!"
At this moment, Dou Miao's face was frosty, sending chills down everyone's spine. Her words and actions exuded the majesty of an empress dowager, and everyone was momentarily shocked, realizing that the empress dowager was about to kill someone.
"promise!!"
Yang Qiu and the other two bowed and agreed, their expressions changing as they turned and walked away.
Unlike Song Feng and Xun Shuang, who both looked solemn, Yang Qiu walked out with a hint of pleasure in his expression.
