Pei Xuan's eyes darkened.
"I will find out this person's background as soon as possible."
He asked, "Do you have a way to cure the Empress Dowager?"
Jiang Wan frowned.
"I have never seen a patient like this before. I need to go back and consult the medical classics to see if there is a solution. For now, I can only suppress it with silver needles to prevent outsiders from noticing anything unusual."
