Why does this person have such a "the wind is howling and the Yi River is cold" expression when he's just going to treat the Emperor's leg?
Ji Fengyao looked completely bewildered.
Wu Ying had been hesitant to speak the whole way, but finally couldn't help asking in a secret voice transmission: "Your Highness, are you really sending the Princess Consort?"
"Although the princess seems a bit reckless, she is kind-hearted and no one will die," Shang Xiye comforted Wuying.
Shadowless: "..."
Your Highness, you're spoiling your princess too much! Your only request is that no one dies?
That's the Empress Dowager! Even the slightest injury to her would provoke the fury of the Empress Dowager and draw attacks from the entire nation!
Inside the room, the Empress Dowager was tossing and turning in pain.
Suddenly, a palace maid came in to report that the Ninth Prince and Ninth Princess had come to visit. He became even more agitated and felt a throbbing pain in the veins next to his temples.
Seeing this, Aunt Sun hurriedly said to the palace maid, "Go and tell the Ninth Prince that the Empress Dowager has already retired for the night."
The palace maid knew that the Empress Dowager was in a bad mood, so she didn't dare to breathe loudly and came out of the outer hall with her head bowed and eyes down to report.
Wuying still didn't want her masters to get into trouble, so she kept giving Linshuang meaningful glances.
Lin Shuang understood and took the opportunity to step forward and whisper to Ji Fengyao, "Your Highness, since the Empress Dowager has retired for the night, why don't we go back first and come to visit her another day?"
"The Empress Dowager's leg ailment has flared up, and even when she rests, she can't sleep." Ji Fengyao walked up to the palace maid in a grand manner and said to her in a very kind manner, "Miss, please go in and tell the Empress Dowager that Doctor Xiao's master also taught me a move or two, which may be able to alleviate her condition."
Perhaps teaching me a trick or two will help?
The palace maid resisted fiercely, shaking her head desperately, almost breaking down in tears: "Princess Ninth Prince, please have mercy on me and don't harm me."
"Hurry up and go! If you delay the Empress Dowager's treatment, can you bear the consequences?" Shang Xiye suddenly spoke up.
The deep, chilling voice easily shattered all the palace maid's last resistance.
Terrified, she trembled and fled into the inner room, her teeth chattering as she spoke: "Reporting to the Empress Dowager..."
The Empress Dowager's leg joints were swollen and her whole body ached unbearably. Seeing the palace maid running around like a bedbug or flea without any regard for her feelings, she was furious and could no longer contain herself: "Drag her out and beat her to death!"
"Your Majesty, spare me! Your Majesty..." The palace maid never expected that this would lead to her death. She was so frightened that she knelt down and begged for mercy: "The Ninth Princess said that she has a way to cure Your Majesty's leg ailment, so this servant dared to come in and disturb you."
"What can she do besides come here to bring me bad luck?" The Empress Dowager was so angry that she trembled and her face was contorted with pain. Her anger was so intense that she no longer cared about her dignity when she spoke.
"Really, really, Your Majesty, the Ninth Princess said that she and Physician Xiao are from the same school and have a way to cure him." To save her own life, the palace maid also started to make up stories and embellishments.
All the imperial physicians in the palace examined him, but none of them could cure him.
It is said that Doctor Xiao is a highly skilled physician, and Doctor Xiao is the only hope the Empress Dowager holds in her heart.
Upon hearing that the bandit was actually a fellow student of Physician Xiao, the Empress Dowager, though utterly disbelieving, couldn't help but feel desperate and want to try anything.
Seeing that the Empress Dowager was tempted, Aunt Sun offered a way out, saying, "Empress Dowager, why don't we let the Ninth Princess Consort come in and take a look? This old servant has heard that there are some folk remedies that are quite effective. Perhaps the Ninth Princess Consort knows them."
