”Reporting to Your Majesty, the Empress's pulse is stronger than before. This subject and the rest have discussed a formula and decided to let the Queen take it after it has been cooked.

The people from the hospital did not dare to say such words too harshly. After all, the empress's body was in tatters. The spirit that she had expended so much effort to nurture had been completely wiped out by the fall.

More importantly, when they were checking the Queen's pulse, they realized that the Queen seemed to have given up on them.

They could cure anyone who was sick, but they couldn't if they wanted to die.

Only, none of them had expected that not long after Xu Family this third daughter-in-law had arrived, the Empress's pulse would start to fill with life. Even the Empress himself seemed to have picked up hope once more.

They could not say these words, but it did not mean that they were not happy.

To be able to save the empress, they would definitely be able to keep their lives, let alone become an official.

That was why they said such words. It sounded as if they didn't say anything, but Emperor Ruikang, who was familiar with what they did, finally heaved a sigh of relief.

If they weren't really confident, they would never say such words.

Just a moment ago, this was the breath that made Emperor Ruikang relax. Unexpectedly, in the next instant, he felt like his vision had turned black.

Before he could steady himself, he heard the imperial physicians' cries of alarm.

Dong Shu and Xu Nuanwen had been sitting at the side, waiting for the imperial physicians to take a look at the empress's pulse. When they heard the imperial physicians say that the empress's pulse was stronger than before, they looked at each other in joy.

Dong Shu and Xu Nuanwen didn't hesitate at all, and almost subconsciously, the two of them had already stood up quickly, using their fastest speed to support Emperor Ruikang, who almost fell down.

When Emperor Ruikang felt that his vision wasn't as dark, he realized that he was tightly grabbing onto Dong Shu's wrist.

Thinking that she was lucky, and was even Xu Zhenbei's daughter-in-law, Emperor Ruikang could not help but open his mouth: ”Good child, I knew you were a good child.”

When Emperor Ruikang's tone of voice sounded, Xu Nuanwen and the imperial physicians who were waiting at the side all heaved a sigh of relief.

Dong Shu did not know the worries of the Aunt Sister and the imperial physicians. In her heart, the Empress was an elder, and the Emperor was naturally an elder as well.

”He doesn't deserve His Majesty's praise.” Dong Shu softly replied. After pausing for a moment, she continued, ”Now that Empress's body has improved, I hope that Your Majesty can take care of your body.”

If someone else were to say this, Emperor Ruikang might think that you are referring to them, but the one who said this was the fortunate Dong Shu that Master Xuan Ling had spoken of before.

Furthermore, since Emperor Ruikang was well aware of Dong Shu's personality, when he heard her words, not only was he not angry, his face even revealed a trace of a smile, ”No wonder the Empress always says that you're a sincere child.” After saying that, the Emperor Ruikang loosened his grip on Dong Shu's wrist and continued, ”Go, visit the Queen again.”

Dong Shu was very obedient, upon hearing Emperor Ruikang's words, she bowed to him, then slowly retreated to the side of the Queen's bed.

After Dong Shu left, Xu Nuanwen looked towards the Emperor Ruikang and said, ”My daughter-in-law knows that the Royal Father has a deep affection for the Queen Mother, but the Royal Father should also pay attention to his body.” After she finished speaking, Xu Nuanwen sighed before whispering, ”Brother Huan'er's father obviously went into the palace with his daughter-in-law, yet he hasn't reached the Phoenix Palace yet. I wonder where he went?”

Xu Nuanwen seemed to be muttering to herself afterwards, but she was not far from Emperor Ruikang, so she was naturally heard clearly by him.

”Don't blame Ol 'Five. If you didn't come with your sister-in-law, you wouldn't have been able to get in.”

After the Emperor Ruikang finished speaking, he did not care about Xu Nuanwen's expression anymore. Instead, he looked at the head of the hospital and asked him, ”What happened to me just now?”

Seeing that the Emperor Ruikang finally had the mood to deal with him, the hospital director was pleasantly surprised. He took two steps forward and respectfully said, ”This subject will first request for Your Majesty's pulse.”

Although the head of the hospital guessed what was going on with the Emperor Ruikang, he didn't dare to speak directly.

During the time it took the head of the hospital to check the pulse of the Emperor Ruikang, Dong Shu had already moved close to the empress's side and grabbed her hand.

”Empress Dowager, the Imperial Physician said your pulse is stronger than it was before. I presume you'll wake up very soon.” Empress, can you wake up quickly? Shu'er has not seen you for quite some days and has a lot of things that I want to tell you. ”

Dong Shu accompanied the empress like this. Even when the Mama Su had personally made the medicine, she had also helped the Mama Hu feed the empress.

The empress had only drunk half of the entire bowl of soup, but it had also made everyone in the imperial hospital heave a sigh of relief.

After the empress drank the soup for an hour, all the imperial physicians of the Grand Hospital diagnosed her pulse once again. This time, the head of the Grand Hospital finally dared to guarantee to the Emperor Ruikang, ”Reporting to Your Majesty, the Empress will definitely wake up within an hour.”

With these words from the hospital chief, the people in the Phoenix Palace all heaved a sigh of relief.

Emperor Ruikang had been with the empress ever since he found out that she was in danger of falling into a coma. At this point, the imperial physician told him to rest well and that the empress had a chance to wake up.

Of course, other than his own body being unable to take it, there was another reason why he was leaving this place. Emperor Ruikang didn't know how to face the Queen.

He already had a rough idea of what had happened today, but his personality made him unwilling to deal with the person who did it.

But it was true that the empress's body was on the verge of destruction today, so before the empress woke up, he took the stance of being worried about her, but he was also afraid that the empress would wake up and ask him to punish the person who had acted today.

It was because of these reasons that Emperor Ruikang only thought of using the reason of his unhealthy body to quickly leave the Empress's place after he was sure that the Queen would wake up in a while.

”I'm feeling a little tired. Ol 'Five, stay with your sister-in-law by your mother's side tonight.”

The Emperor Ruikang mainly wanted Dong Shu to stay behind to accompany the Empress, but the palace door was about to be locked, leaving the family of an official inside the palace was not the right time.
