C60 (1/2)

The night was closing in, and the dim moon hung high in the sky. The starlight was dim, and the light was dim.

”Quick, quick, quick, go heat transfer towels.” One by one, the female servant s filed in and out of the dorms, busy to the point that their souls couldn't enter their bodies.

”Doctor Jiang, what happened to the esteemed Empress?” A female servant wearing a mask looked at Imperial Physician Jiang with a flustered expression. She had clearly heard that her illness had improved, but why was she in such a rush tonight?

”The sudden backlash from the smallpox virus can't be suppressed anymore.” Imperial Physician Jiang used a towel to wipe the sweat off his forehead, looking anxious and anxious.

When the female servant heard this, they gulped down a jin of food. Their eyebrows were tightly knitted together. They had originally wanted to take advantage of the Empress's illness to obtain more favors, but now the river was really flowing. You have clearly improved a lot. ” The female servant didn't really believe what Doctor Jiang had said. A few days ago, she had peeked in from the window to take a look, and the Empress's complexion had improved by a lot. Her face was a lot redder than before, but how could she say that she was sick?

”My lady, how could I lie to you? This disease is too much.” Imperial Physician Jiang purposefully put on a look of helplessness. He had to act a bit more lifelike, so as to give the Empress more sense of public opinion.

”Those over there, don't be idle. Once the Queen's medicine is ready, bring it over as soon as possible. There's no time to delay!” The manager and his aunt had also clearly heard the conversation between the two, and their hearts were burning with anxiety.

Master had been sick for a long time and had not fully recovered. In the end, he had to blame it on his servant. Moreover, his master had lost his power, so the servants in the palace would look down on him.

”Doctor Jiang, how are things outside?” Liu Ruyan sat at the carved wooden table, looking at Doctor Jiang who was inside the house. She was already prepared for everything, she only needed to wait for everyone in the Zichen Palace to become a pot of porridge, then she could take the opportunity to leave.

”When they heard that the Empress's illness had worsened, all of them fell into chaos. Everyone grew anxious, afraid that they would lose their heads from being unable to take care of her.”

”Then I'll leave this to Imperial Physician Jiang to help me deal with. I'll sneak out right now.”

The more chaotic the situation was, the better. In that case, no one would notice this ordinary young eunuch of hers anymore.

”Alright. Empress, don't worry.” In his heart, he was also praising Liu Ruyan for her courage. Such wisdom and courage, how could ordinary women have it, even some of the men wouldn't be able to do it.

Liu Ruyan walked to the backyard of Zichen Palace with a lantern in hand and used a tile to dig the dog hole that had already been opened. Last time she saw Fifteenth Princess entering and exiting the dog hole, she had always paid attention to this place.

Liu Ruyan crawled into the cave, using the lantern light to look at the road ahead. Inevitably, there were some sharp stones in the cave stabbing into her hands, causing a faint bone-piercing pain, but Liu Ruyan continued to climb forward, unyielding.

Liu Ruyan crawled to the end of the dog hole with the lantern in her hand, the dark sky was exposed in her field of vision. Liu Ruyan crawled out of the dog hole, took in a deep breath of fresh air.

Suddenly, Liu Ruyan seemed to have sensed something, a cold aura slowly rose from her back, her gaze froze in a certain spot, her pupils suddenly contracted, someone!

Who was it?! Liu Ruyan's heart sank, she could clearly see a figure standing in front of her. It was just that the light was too dim, so her face could not be seen, ”Who are you?”
