The imperial physicians looked anxiously at Su Ruojin. If the princess did not improve, they might not live to see tomorrow.
Su Ruojin said, "The princess is asleep, but her symptoms are getting worse. If this continues, I'm afraid..."
Before Su Ruojin could finish speaking, the imperial physicians understood. They shared the same thought as Su Ruojin and all sighed deeply and lowered their heads.
"What should we do?"
With the matter settled, Su Ruojin and her group were about to leave when Liu Jing stopped them. "Doctor Jiang, the Empress Dowager has ordered that none of you may leave the Princess's residence until she has fully recovered."
Oh, so they're going to put them under house arrest.
"General, there's not much point in us staying here."
“At least Madam Jiang can let the princess sleep peacefully, can’t she?” Liu Jing refused to budge an inch.
"The Empress Dowager has arrived!"
Then a high-pitched voice announced the news.
Empress Wu has arrived!
The imperial physicians all knelt down to greet her, but Empress Dowager Wu hurriedly entered Yuening's room, not caring whether others knelt or not.
Su Ruojin and the others were overjoyed that they no longer had to kneel.
"Director Bao, how is the princess?" Looking at the sleeping Yuening on the bed, Empress Wu's face showed worry.
"Your Majesty, after Madam Jiang's treatment, the princess is able to sleep."
Empress Dowager Wu rose and sat down to the side, looking at Su Ruojin with narrowed eyes, "You are Madam Jiang. I heard you come from the Great Chu?"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"If you can cure the princess, I will reward you handsomely."
"Your Majesty, the princess's illness is quite strange, and I am powerless to help," Su Ruojin said directly.
"How dare you!" The Empress Dowager slammed her hand on the table, and the imperial physicians were so frightened that they hurriedly knelt down. Su Ruojin did not kneel, but looked at the Empress Dowager calmly.
"If you can't cure the princess, Madam Jiang can forget about returning to Great Chu." The Empress Dowager's threat was quite clear.
"Your Majesty, I am a doctor and will do my best. However, if it is beyond my ability, I am afraid I cannot help you."
This was the second time Zhao Ruojin had defied her. Empress Dowager Wu laughed in fury, "Madam Jiang, have you forgotten that this is Xiaoyue, not Great Chu! Believe me or not, I'll have you beheaded right now!"
The headmaster, who was kneeling on the ground, looked at Su Ruojin with some concern.
Dr. Bao had a certain fondness for talent; although Madam Jiang was a woman, her medical skills were indeed astonishing.
If someone like that could enter the Imperial Hospital, it would be perfect for treating the concubines in the palace.
But now the Empress Dowager was furious, and the Imperial Physician Bao dared not speak. He could only pray that the Empress Dowager would not actually kill Madam Jiang, considering that the princess's illness had not yet been cured.
"Empress Dowager, even if you kill all of us here, or even kill everyone in Xiaoyue, I still cannot cure the princess's illness." Su Ruojin's expression remained calm, without the slightest hint of panic.
"Guards, drag her out of here..."
"Young Master Lu has arrived."
Before the Empress Dowager could finish speaking, they heard a news report coming from outside.
Lu Junyuan strode into the room, knelt down and bowed to Empress Dowager Wu, saying, "Greetings, Empress Dowager."
Upon seeing Lu Junyuan, Empress Dowager Wu temporarily suppressed her anger for the sake of Yue Ning. "Get up, Young Master Lu, what brings you here?"
