Chapter 1473: Unt.i.tled

Granny Lan was worried sick.

She asked, “Your Majesty, how do you feel?”

It was already too painful for the empress dowager to speak, and she could only grunt in agony.

Granny Lan panicked and ran out of the room. While she sent the palace maids to fetch the imperial physicians, she herself went to report to Emperor Wu.

Empress Dugu was listing Jun Linyuan’s vices, when Emperor Wu heard the noise outside. He immediately frowned.

“Your Majesty, Your Majesty! Her Majesty the empress dowager is coming down with something, and she can’t even speak now!”

Granny Lan had served the empress dowager for many years and was a well-respected figure in the palace. That was why she could see the emperor right away.

Hearing this, Emperor Wu rose to his feet and threw a robe over his shoulders as he walked out.

“What’s going on? What’s wrong with the empress dowager?” Emperor Wu asked.

Granny Lan was so anxious that her face was pale. “Her Majesty hasn’t been feeling well since she got out of the carriage. She threw up once and went to bed without having any dinner. Right now, she’s in so much pain that she can’t even speak!”

Emperor Wu was a well-known filial son, and he was running as fast as he could now. He asked anxiously, “Where are the imperial physicians? Where are Master Chu and Master Bai?!”

“I’ve sent someone to fetch them. They should be here by now.” Granny Lan didn’t sound much calmer herself.

After all, this involved the empress dowager’s health, and It was too big a deal!

So, when Emperor Wu arrived, Master Chu and Master Bai were already there.

“Master Chu!” Emperor Wu walked in to see Master Chu opening his eyes as he finished checking the empress dowager’s pulse.

“How is Her Majesty?” Emperor Wu grabbed Master Chu by the collar.

Master Chu looked a little pale, but his voice was relatively calm.

“Your Majesty, Her Majesty’s brain disease is flaring up, which is affecting her entire body —”

“Get to the point!” Emperor Wu bellowed.

Master Chu said sympathetically, “Your Majesty, Her Majesty’s condition is very difficult to treat, and I don’t have much confidence in myself…”

“How’s that even possible?! Aren’t you the most skilled physician in the palace? How can you say that?!” Emperor Wu yelled angrily.

Master Chu said, “Your Majesty, we physicians aren’t omnipotent…”

Emperor Wu said, “I don’t care! Make sure Her Majesty is alright, or I’ll have your head on a plate!”

Master Chu almost broke down…

“But Your Majesty, there’s only a 10% success rate, and I’m worried that even if I cure her now, she may still suffer from residual symptoms…”

Emperor Wu snorted. “Like I said, I don’t care what method you use. I just want Her Majesty to be fine!”

Master Chu was almost driven mad.

The emperor ignored Master Chu and rushed inside to check on the empress dowager. Meanwhile, Master Chu almost pulled all his hair out.

“Master —”

Master Bai had remained silent so far, but he suddenly spoke gingerly.

Master Chu was too absorbed in his agony to notice.

“Master, there’s someone who might be able to help us…”

“Who?” Master Chu frowned.

“Miss Feng Wu,” Master Bai said solemnly. “Miss Feng Wu is a great doctor, and she cured the empress dowager the last time she had a brain condition. So, maybe she’ll know what to do this time.”

Master Chu frowned. “Are you sure?”

Master Bai patted his chest and promised, “Miss Feng Wu is definitely a better doctor than the both of us, and I’m sure she’ll know how to treat the empress dowager.”
