Quick Transmigration: Knowing I'm a Bad Woman, Yet Still Liking Me?

In the Qianqing Palace, the imperial physicians, their faces filled with anxiety, surrounded the dragon bed.

The Empress Dowager and the Empress waited anxiously by the side, while the other concubines were kept outside by the Empress Dowager's order not to disturb His Majesty's rest.

Imperial Physician Qian released Xiao Chengyu's wrist, his brows furrowed deeply.

The Empress Dowager's voice, authoritative yet tinged with anxiety, asked, "Minister Qian, how is it?"

After a moment's thought, Qian Yuanshi reported, "Your Majesty, His Majesty's pulse is erratic and irregular. At times it is unusually strong, seemingly a sign of excessive Yang energy. But in an instant, it becomes weak and difficult to detect, as if it were a sign of blood and Qi deficiency. These two pulse patterns alternate..."

The imperial physicians beside him were trembling slightly, because they were all unsure of His Majesty's condition.

If anything happens to His Majesty, no one will be in a good position.

Therefore, both court judges stepped forward to resolve the situation, saying, "Your Majesty observes that your high fever persists while you are also feeling cold and wrapped in blankets. These symptoms resemble both sudden fainting caused by wind-evil entering the brain and heart meridian obstruction."

"yes."

After thinking for a moment, Qian Yuanshi agreed with this statement, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said, "Your Majesty, some illnesses require observation for some time before a conclusion can be drawn. I suggest that we try the treatment with a prescription that 'harmonizes qi and blood, dispels wind and reduces fever' for the time being."

The other imperial physicians also knelt down, saying, "I second that we should diagnose the condition as 'suspected wind-evil entering the body, accompanied by deficiency of both qi and blood,' and try a mild treatment first. If the high fever subsides slightly, we may adjust the prescription."

The Empress Dowager's face darkened further upon hearing this, but since even Imperial Physician Qian had said so, she could only order, "Then let's treat His Majesty like this for now."

Bai Yuan's procession entered the palace in a grand procession, and on their way to His Majesty's bedchamber, they heard the diagnosis from the Imperial Medical Academy.

Seeing her impatient expression, Wan Yue tried to coax her, "Your Highness, I heard that the Empress Dowager only let the Empress in; no one else in the palace was seen. Even the Crown Prince and the other two princes are waiting outside. But we should still go. Whether we can see them or not is one thing, whether we go or not is another."

"I know."

Bai Yuan felt pain all over her body with every step she took. "It's not just about putting on an act; I also want to see what kind of person His Majesty really is."

This time it certainly won't kill Xiao Chengyu, but she needs to see for herself just how sick he is so she can make plans as soon as possible.

When they arrived at the Qianqing Palace, there were many people standing outside, including Xiao Chengze.

Feeling the man's gaze upon her, Bai Yuan had no intention of paying him any attention and walked straight into the hall.

Seeing this, Wang Shunan's young apprentice, Fu Ning, quickly came over to try to stop her, but Bai Yuan gave him a cold glance.

Seeing this, Fu Ning's face contorted with anxiety. "Oh, Your Highness, the Empress Dowager and the imperial physicians are inside right now. It won't be good for you to go in like this."

Bai Yuan didn't respond, nor did she instruct Wan Yue beside her. Instead, she shoved the person away in frustration and said, "Get out."

No one can say anything if she pushes someone, but if Wan Yue does it, it will be troublesome if it is investigated. It will be difficult to find a trusted confidante again.

Upon entering the hall, Bai Yuan tried her best to remain silent.

The Empress Dowager's gaze slowly swept over the Empress beside her, and she said in a deep voice, "Although there are palace servants to serve you, they can never be as close as your own family."

The Empress's body stiffened slightly. Currently, Consort De is in charge of the harem. The Empress Dowager's intention is for her to regain the power to assist in managing the six palaces.

But since His Majesty hadn't given the order, she couldn't just insist on it, not even from the Empress Dowager. Nevertheless, she replied, "Yes, Your Majesty, I will make the arrangements."

The Empress Dowager sighed helplessly. The Empress was not entirely satisfactory, but she had given birth to the Crown Prince for the Emperor. After thinking for a moment, she still offered some advice.

"Since you are the Empress, it is your duty to serve the Emperor. For the next few days, you will stay here to attend to his illness, personally preparing his medicine and taking care of his daily needs. The Emperor is always sentimental and values ​​relationships."

The Empress then realized what was happening and, somewhat excitedly, bowed to the Empress Dowager, saying, "Thank you for your guidance, Your Majesty. I will certainly do my best."

After the Empress Dowager finished speaking, she stood up and turned around. She noticed Bai Yuan peeking out from the side of the crowd. She frowned slightly. "What is the Imperial Concubine doing here?"

Bai Yuan gave a slight curtsy. "Hearing that Your Majesty was unwell, I was worried and rushed back to the palace."

The Empress Dowager was speechless. Was that what she was asking?

She asked how Bai Yuan had managed to sneak into the hall so quietly. Were the people outside just sitting around doing nothing?

But considering the current situation of the General's Mansion, she simply let it go and said lightly, "You're very kind."

"I usually serve Your Majesty more often, and I can also help the Empress take care of you when you are ill." Bai Yuan's small face was full of anxiety as she spoke and walked towards the bed.

Upon seeing this, the Empress Dowager quickly gave a signal to the nanny beside her. Seeing this, the nanny immediately went up to help the person up.

Unexpectedly, Bai Yuan seemed to sense someone approaching. She quickly took a few steps and rushed to the bedside, grasping Xiao Chengyu's hand. Her voice was filled with sorrow, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please don't frighten me. I only left the palace for one night, how did you fall ill? Waaah, I promise I will never leave the palace again, I will stay by your side."

The Empress Dowager's face darkened, and she stared at her for two seconds before speaking, "Never mind, your health is not good to begin with, and you had a hard time returning to the General's Mansion yesterday. You can leave this to the Empress."

Chen Mama seized the opportunity and helped Bai Yuan up from the bedside, holding her arm tightly to prevent her from lunging at her again.

The Empress Dowager took a deep breath and looked at Wang Shunan, "Let everyone outside go back first."

Wang Shunan received the order and quickly went out. He had almost jumped out of his throat when he saw Bai Yuan suddenly come in.

Looking at Xiao Chengyu's complexion on the bed, Bai Yuan felt that he didn't look so bad, and her heart relaxed a lot.

She knew that the Empress Dowager was wary of her and wouldn't let her stay here.

Bai Yuan wiped her eyes with a handkerchief, glanced at the bed a few more times with lingering reluctance, and then turned away. "Then I will take my leave now. If Your Majesty feels tired, please feel free to send someone to give the order."

The Empress almost rolled her eyes, but she still forced a nod and said, "I understand."

When I went outside, most of the people had already left.

Fu Ning was kneeling outside the hall, presumably having just been reprimanded.

Wang Shunan lowered his head and tried to persuade Xiao Chengze, "Prince Jin, this is the Empress Dowager's will, and this servant has no choice."

Xiao Chengze didn't leave not because he wanted to find out about His Majesty's situation, but because he knew that his elder brother and mother were more wary of him, especially at this time.

They were also wary of Bai Yuan, so they would never let her stay. He just wanted to see Bai Yuan come out before leaving.
