The shadow nodded firmly, indicating that this was indeed the case.
Xuan Ming chuckled and said, "Alright, I'm going to take a nap. My body is much more delicate now than when I was sick!"
After saying that, he waved his hand, signaling the shadow to step back.
After the shadow left, Xuanming slowly walked towards the bed in the inner hall.
As he walked to the bedside, he heard the soft sound of the door closing behind him.
At this moment, the smile on Xuanming's face gradually disappeared.
He stopped and stood quietly, his eyes fixed on the distance.
After a while, he silently turned his head to look in the direction of Jin Yuan.
Passing through the Golden Garden, one arrives at the deepest part of the Imperial Palace—a place he once knew intimately.
Long ago, some people from the palace went there to clear away fallen leaves, but when they returned, they went mad, claiming they had seen ghosts there.

However, the emperor could not give a definite explanation for the origin of this curse.
Nevertheless, the Emperor solemnly instructed Xuanming that he must never use medicine to prolong his life.
This puzzled and confused Xuanming, because although they could have gained a chance to survive by using human medicine as a substitute for the medicine, both his grandfather and father ultimately chose to face death.
