With a warehouse full of supplies, I stood alone as king in this chaotic world, gun in hand.

"It's nothing, I just came to see the children." Bei Chenyan walked to the main seat and sat down.

"Eileen and Li Shuang are bathing some children right now, please wait a moment." Nangong Wu also sat down. "You don't look too well, did you go to the Cold Palace?"

"Yes." Bei Chenyan nodded slightly. "I went with the Empress Dowager to let them settle things in the end."

"The Wan family has already been given poisoned wine."

Nangong Wu had long known that the Wan family would meet such an end, but since it was a matter for the royal family, she couldn't say much.

"But that woman still enjoyed eighteen years of wealth and luxury, while my mother was tortured by the Wan family in that dungeon for eighteen years." Bei Chenyan felt a deep resentment in his heart.

"This was the Empress's destined calamity. Now that the Wan family has been destroyed and the Empress has returned to the palace, everything is back on track," Nangong Wu said calmly.

"I see." Bei Chenyan felt much relieved after hearing her words.

"You're busy, so go back! Get some rest. I'll be going over tomorrow morning to give Her Majesty the Empress a full physical exam. Remember not to let Her Majesty eat anything in the morning," Nangong Wu instructed.

"Nangong Wu," Bei Chenyan looked at him, "before you leave, I'd like to choose a time to let Mother see the children."

"Her Majesty the Empress's physical and mental condition is not very good. Let's discuss this matter in a couple of days!" Nangong Wu said.

"Okay, I understand." Bei Chenyan stood up. "Then you should get some rest too."

*************

The next morning, Nangong Wu arrived at Luanfeng Palace carrying a medicine box.

Having received Bei Chenyan's message, Granny Fang was already waiting at the entrance of Luanfeng Palace.

"This old servant greets the divine physician."

"No need for such formalities, Granny." Nangong Wu raised her hand slightly.

Granny Fang hesitated for a moment: "Divine Physician, Her Majesty the Empress is unwell. She had nightmares all night and didn't fall asleep until dawn."

"Take me inside now," Nangong Wu said calmly.

Empress Wan was still asleep when she was sent into the space.

"This..." Granny Fang looked at the door of the bedchamber and said, "Divine Physician, why don't I go and wake Her Highness first?"

According to palace rules, the Empress must not be disturbed while she is sleeping, and one must ask permission before seeking medical advice. Otherwise, entering her bedchamber without permission could anger the masters and result in punishment.

Nangong Wu frowned. She had already told Bei Chenyan that she was coming over this morning to give Empress Wan a physical examination, so why was this nanny stopping her?

"No need to wake Her Majesty, I will go in now to examine her."

"Let the divine physician in," Bei Chenyan's voice suddenly came over.

Nangong Wu turned her head and saw Beichen Yan striding towards her.

When Granny Fang saw him arrive, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief. "This old servant greets Your Highness the Crown Prince."

"You didn't go to court?" Nangong Wu asked.

"The court session is over. Let them go about their business as soon as possible." Bei Chenyan took the medicine box from her hand. "Let's go inside."

Upon hearing this, Granny Fang hurriedly went to open the door to the main hall.

"Your Highness, please come in, divine physician."

Bei Chenyan and Nangong Wu entered the bedroom.

Empress Wan was lying on the bed, breathing evenly, still fast asleep.

Granny Fang came up and whispered, "Your Highness, Her Majesty had nightmares all night and only slept for a short while."

"It's alright, you go outside and keep watch." Bei Chenyan told her to go out.

"Yes." Granny Fang curtsied to him and withdrew.

Bei Chenyan turned around, closed the palace door, and bolted it shut.

Nangong Wu took out a bottle and placed it under Empress Wan's nose to help her sleep more soundly. She then used her mind to send the person to the bed in the spatial medical room.

Bei Chenyan grabbed Nangong Wu's hand. "Let me go in too!"

"Since you have nothing to do, go in and help." Nangong Wu led him into the space.

Eileen was already waiting in the medical room.

Li Shuang was in the space. This morning, she made breakfast and helped the children wash up.

"First, draw blood, then do an electrocardiogram, ultrasound... and finally a full-body CT scan," Nangong Wu instructed Eileen while changing her clothes.

"Alright!" Eileen pushed the medical cart over and started by drawing blood from Empress Wan.

"Is there anything I can do?" Bei Chenyan asked.

Nangong Wu glanced at him, "I'll call you when I need you."

"it is good."

They were busy for more than two hours.

"Based on the results of various examinations, Her Majesty the Empress suffers from multiple diseases, the most serious of which is chronic hepatitis B, and she also has tinea corporis."

These diseases are highly contagious, so the servants should be careful to disinfect the clothes that have been worn and to keep the bowls and chopsticks separate..." Nangong Wu told Beichen Yan about Empress Wan's condition.

"Also, once Her Majesty has recovered a bit, she should have another endoscopy."

"Okay, I understand." Bei Chenyan looked at his mother on the sickbed, feeling extremely sad.

"Let's go out first!" Nangong Wu mentally placed Empress Wan back on the phoenix bed in her palace, and then took Bei Chenyan out of the space.

It was already noon.

"How long until Mother wakes up?" Bei Chenyan pulled the blanket up for Empress Wan.

"About fifteen minutes." Nangong Wu took out some medicine. "I'll prescribe half a month's worth of medicine for Her Majesty first."

Bei Chenyan opened the door to the bedchamber and let Fang Mama in, then had her listen to how Nangong Wu administered the medicine to Empress Wan and the precautions.

"Father misses his children and wants us to bring them over to have lunch with him," Bei Chenyan said.

"it is good."

The two left Luanfeng Palace together.

Wei Yang and several guards were waiting outside. As soon as they saw them come out, they immediately followed.

"Go clear the area," Bei Chenyan said to them.

Wei Yang immediately understood, raised his hand and made a gesture, and the guards used their lightness skills to scatter in all directions.

Soon, the Imperial Guards who were stationed nearby all went elsewhere.

Nangong Wu sent the three children out of the space.

Li Shuang stayed in the space with her son and cooked for herself.

The three children were all very happy to be able to leave the space.

Nangong Xi held Beichen Yan's hand, "Daddy, it's windy today, I want to fly a kite!"

"Xi'er, your father is busy today. I'll take you kite flying another day," Nangong Wu said.

Bei Chenyan patted his daughter's head. "In a couple of days, after Daddy finishes what he's doing, I'll take you to fly kites, okay?"

"Then let's make a pinky promise, and Daddy can't go back on his word." Nangong Xi hooked her little finger slightly.

"Okay, let's pinky swear, Daddy won't lie." Bei Chenyan smiled and pinky sweared with his daughter.

"Father, we'd like to visit our grandfather first," Nangong Jue said.

"Go on!" Bei Chenyan released the two children's hands.

The three children ran to Yikun Palace first.

"How's it going outside? Have you found any news about Ling Yangzi and Bei Chenzhan?" Nangong Wu asked about the two of them.

"We haven't been able to track him down yet, but some civilians saw Bei Chenzhan leading a group of people running northwest," Bei Chenyan told her about the situation in the court.

"After yesterday's announcement was issued, seventy to eighty thousand ordinary soldiers have returned to their barracks."
