If anything happens to the Empress Dowager, not only the wife of Marquis Pingyuan, but even Marquis Pingyuan will be held accountable!

After agreeing, Ye Qingluo started to treat the empress dowager without any delay.

Outside Shoukang Palace.

The noble ladies who were waiting there were whispering to each other thinking about what had just happened.

"Do you think that the wife of Marquis Pingyuan really knows medical skills? How can she remain so calm in front of the Emperor and the Empress?"

As they spoke, they looked towards Su Wan. "County Lady, I heard that you are going to marry into the Marquis' Mansion soon. I think you must know something about the affairs in the Mansion."

"Do you think this Lady of Pingyuan Marquis can cure the Empress Dowager?"

Su Wan's expression froze, and when she raised her eyes she met Su Yun's mocking gaze. She clenched her hands suddenly, even the person who was asking questions now was on her side.

Even though she disliked Ye Qingluo in every way, she also understood that the matter of treatment involved the Queen Mother. No matter what, she would be involved, and it would give someone with ulterior motives an opportunity to take advantage of it.

In response, Su Wan lowered his eyes and pretended not to know.

"Sisters, I'm not feeling well, so I'll go back first." Su Wan left these words and turned to leave. She had to go back and tell the Marquis about this.

Chu Beiyu already had some complaints against Ye Qingluo. If he knew that Ye Qingluo had caused such a disaster in the palace, even if the emperor was merciful and let Ye Qingluo escape by chance, the marquis would definitely be disgusted.

She is now a county lady appointed by the emperor himself, so she doesn't want to be a co-wife.

The position of the mistress of the Marquis' Mansion will be mine sooner or later!

In the Hou Mansion.

Chu Beiyu was furious when he learned that Ye Qingluo had treated the Queen Mother.

He slammed the table and stood up. Madam Chu beside him groaned repeatedly, her tone full of complaints, "It's not enough that this Ye family has troubled the people in the mansion, and she even dared to run to the palace!"

"The Queen Mother's illness is being treated by the imperial doctors of the Imperial Hospital. Why is she showing off her abilities?"

The maidservant following Madam Chu echoed, "That's right, if Madam really knows medical skills, why have we never seen her treat Madam?"

"County Princess, how is the Queen Mother now?" Old Madam Chu asked Su Wan.

Su Wan shook her head and glanced at Chu Beiyu from the corner of her eye, "When I came out, I only heard from Imperial Doctor Jiang and Imperial Doctor Fang from the Imperial Hospital that the Queen Mother's condition was very bad and she was vomiting blood."

"What!" Old Madam Chu became even more anxious and knocked on the ground with her cane.

"This Ye family's own father was demoted, and now he wants to drag us down with him?"

"Don't get excited, old lady. Maybe my sister really knows medical skills."

Su Wan stepped forward and patted Madam Chu's back gently to help her calm down.

"Ye Qingluo has been here for so long, how could I not know her abilities?"

"Bei Yu, what do you think we should do about this?"

Chu Beiyu was in a state of confusion. He had finally achieved military merit, but if he was affected by Ye Qingluo's affairs, all his previous efforts would be in vain!

This Ye Qingluo! He will never forgive her!

"Mother, I'll go to the palace and take a look!" Chu Beiyu said, then turned to look at Su Wan over there, his tone much gentler, "Wan'er, I'm afraid mother will have to worry about you."

Su Wan smiled softly, "Don't worry, Lord Hou, taking care of my mother is what I should do."

Shoukang Palace.

As time went by, Imperial Doctor Jiang and Imperial Doctor Fang, who had originally doubted Ye Qingluo's medical skills, were shocked and then incredulous after seeing his treatment process.

The wife of Marquis Pingyuan has such advanced medical skills at such a young age!

With a cough, the Queen Mother woke up from her coma.

"She's awake! The Queen Mother is awake!"

Doctor Jiang exclaimed, and the huge rock in his heart fell to the ground. He hurriedly told the emperor and empress behind the screen the good news.

The emperor walked in quickly, and when he saw the empress dowager wake up, his frown finally relaxed.

"Mother, how do you feel now?"

The Queen Mother's voice was hoarse, perhaps because she had just woken up.

"I have been feeling a tightness in my chest these past few days, and it's getting worse today for some reason."

The queen had a smile on her face, "No matter what, it's good as long as mother wakes up."

"This time, we have to thank Madam Pingyuan Hou for this."

"Madam Pingyuan Marquis?" The Queen Mother hesitated for a moment after hearing this and looked in the direction of Ye Qingluo.

She raised her hand and motioned Ye Qingluo to come over.

"Good boy, it was you who saved me?"

"Easy to do."

Ye Qingluo replied without much emotional fluctuation.

Upon seeing this, the Queen's attitude towards Ye Qingluo changed a little, and her attitude became more intimate.

"Madam Pingyuan Hou, since you are an expert in medicine, you must know why the Queen Mother is in a coma and even vomiting blood?"

The emperor also looked over, wanting to know the cause of the incident.

"Your Majesty, Empress Dowager, and Empress Dowager have a long-standing illness, but it is not serious enough to cause a coma or even vomiting blood."

"Poisoning is the only thing that could have caused this?"

"Poisoned?"

When these words were spoken, everyone present was shocked.

The emperor's face darkened, and he asked Ye Qingluo, "Madam Pingyuan Hou, do you know the cause of the poison?"

Conspiring to murder the Queen Mother is a serious crime punishable by the death of nine generations of the clan, and must be thoroughly investigated.

Ye Qingluo looked around and had the answer in his mind when he saw the plate of pastries on the table.

"To reply to Your Majesty, if my guess is correct, the Empress Dowager is allergic to peach blossoms, and this pastry just happened to have this thing added to it."

The maid who was serving was shocked. "But Madam Pingyuan, you just said that the Empress Dowager was poisoned and it was just an allergy..."

"If it was just the pastries, it wouldn't be such a big deal. But there is another point. The Empress Dowager's medicinal diet has a medicinal ingredient that cannot be taken with food containing peach blossoms, otherwise it will cause coma and high fever. In addition, the Empress Dowager already had an old illness, which caused her to vomit blood."

The nanny was so scared that she fell to her knees and begged for mercy from the emperor.

"Your Majesty, spare me. I really didn't know that these two cannot be taken together. As for the allergy... Doctor Fang was the one who treated the Empress Dowager in the past, and he never mentioned it."

Doctor Fang was trembling all over, and suddenly felt that a disaster was imminent. Before he could even utter a word of begging for mercy, he heard the emperor's order.

"Pull these two people down!"

"Your Majesty, the head of the royal court and His Royal Highness the Regent are waiting outside."

After the nanny and Doctor Fang were dragged out, the eunuch who came to report came in.

"You mean the Regent?"

The queen was shocked. Wasn't it said that the prince was already terminally ill? How could he enter the palace with the prince?

After hearing this, the emperor walked out quickly and saw Ye Beimo coming towards him.

"My brother pays homage to the emperor."

"Bei Mo, are you feeling better?"

The emperor had a complicated expression and a hint of shock in his tone.

"It's just a slight improvement, not great. I heard that the Queen Mother was ill, so I went to the palace with the Prince. How is her condition now?"

"It's okay now." The emperor paused and looked at the person standing next to Ye Beimo.

"Captain Wang, go check the Queen Mother's pulse first."
