Mu Chenshuang was very confident in her medical skills. She inserted all the needles in one go and then waited quietly on the side.
"It should take about fifteen minutes to remove, and then I will treat the Empress Dowager." Mu Chenshuang planned to use her spiritual energy to clear the Empress Dowager's meridians and blood vessels later.
"If the Empress Dowager's condition continues to improve, she may be fully conscious within a month."
Mu Chenshuang sat quietly to the side, observing the Empress Dowager, but her mind was still on the disputes in the court and the wrongful death of the Prince of Libei.
One of the main reasons she came to treat the Empress Dowager, hoping that the Empress Dowager could wake up as soon as possible, was that she originally thought she could persuade the Emperor to release the Empress from confinement. However, now a bolder idea was slowly taking shape in her mind.
A quarter of an hour passed in the blink of an eye, and the Empress Dowager's eyelids began to twitch slightly, as if she were about to wake up.
Upon seeing this, Granny Yun's weathered and slightly cloudy eyes immediately welled up with tears.
"If Princess Weiyang can really cure the Empress Dowager, that would be wonderful. It would be a blessing for Tianzhao Kingdom."
Mu Chenshuang, who was calmly and methodically removing the silver needles from the Empress Dowager's body, didn't say anything, but she was thinking the same thing.
With the court in turmoil and the emperor incompetent and stubborn, perhaps only the Empress Dowager could step forward and slightly reverse the situation.
After all, the Emperor's filial piety towards the Empress Dowager is evident to all, and given the established customs of Tianzhao Kingdom, perhaps only the Empress Dowager's intervention could clear the name of the Prince of Libei and allow for a reinvestigation.
As Mu Chenshuang lowered her eyes in thought, the Empress Dowager slowly woke up.
"Your Majesty, you're awake. Do you feel any better?" Granny Yun rushed over, took the Empress Dowager's hands, and carefully helped her up from the bed.
"Shuang'er..." Although the Empress Dowager's gaze was still somewhat dull, her eyes lit up when she saw Mu Chenshuang.
Mu Chenshuang's eyes lit up with surprise, and she quickly reached out to grasp the Empress Dowager's hand. Unfortunately, she could no longer hear what the Empress Dowager was saying.
The Empress Dowager opened her mouth several times, as if she wanted to say something, but seemed to be having great difficulty speaking.
Seeing this, Mu Chenshuang knew that the Empress Dowager's condition had only improved. Although she was somewhat conscious, she was not very lucid, and her body had not fully recovered. Her meridians were damaged, so even if she wanted to say something, it would be difficult for her to express it clearly now.
"Your Majesty, Shuang'er understands what you want to say." Mu Chenshuang was afraid that the Empress Dowager's emotions would get agitated and worsen her blood vessel condition, so she quickly held the Empress Dowager's hand to comfort her.
"Your Majesty, please rest assured, Shuang'er will definitely cure you and make you feel the same as before," Mu Chenshuang comforted her.
However, she was also well aware that even if the Empress Dowager could recover to her former clarity of mind, her physical condition would be far from what it used to be, and she would be in her twilight years.
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw the Empress Dowager's eyes redden, her round eyes filled with a layer of mist. Although her face already bore the marks of the long years, in that instant, Mu Chenshuang felt that she was as aggrieved as a child.
Seeing this, Granny Yun also wiped away her tears.
"Princess, the Empress Dowager understands. She truly understands what you mean."
