The chief judge of the Imperial Hospital knelt on the ground and said solemnly, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I am incompetent and can only ask the Crown Prince's wife to come and take a look. Otherwise... otherwise..."

The judge hesitated to speak, knelt on the ground, and trembled.

Xia Nanxing asked in a deep voice: "Otherwise what? You bastard, hurry up and tell me."

"The Empress Dowager is in a critical condition. If she doesn't receive prompt medical attention, she may not survive the night."

This is really too sudden.

Xia Nanxing's expression was extremely grim, but he could only give the order: "Come here, invite the wife of the Crown Prince of the Loyal and Brave Marquis Mansion into the palace."

The queen's eyes flickered slightly, and she spoke out to stop him.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid I need to consult the Empress Dowager on this matter."

The Empress Dowager didn't fall ill earlier or later, but she fell ill at this time, which made the Empress think about it.

Xia Nanxing had also thought of this.

But if he were to watch the Queen Mother die, his reputation would be ruined and he would probably be cursed.

Just at this time, Prince Huai and his family of five rushed over.

Prince Huai was sitting in a wheelchair, and his wife, Princess Huai, led her two sons and a daughter, kneeling down to pay their respects to the Emperor and Empress.

After Xia Nanxing exempted them from the formalities, he offered them a seat and asked the imperial physician to explain the empress dowager's condition.

Prince Huai was heartbroken and cried out, "Your Majesty, human life is at stake. Please ask the Crown Prince's wife to come and save him."

Xia Nanxing said helplessly: "Last time, Qinghe wanted to treat the Queen Mother, but the Queen Mother herself was unwilling. This time, I may not be able to invite anyone."

Prince Huai said in disbelief: "You are the emperor, the Son of Heaven, how dare the Crown Prince's wife?"

At this time, Eunuch Zhao hurried out from the inner hall, knelt down and reported with lowered eyes: "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager does not want the Crown Prince's wife to come for treatment."

Xia Nanxing looked helpless.

The Queen breathed a sigh of relief and glanced at Prince Huai's family of five, her eyes filled with ambiguous meaning.

Prince Huai urged anxiously, "Quick, push me to see the Queen Mother."

The family of five took their leave and headed towards the inner hall.

The queen looked at Xia Nanxing.

Xia Nanxing stood up and followed closely.

From the inner hall, the Queen Mother's weak but stubborn voice was heard.

"I...I don't want...I don't want her to come and heal me."

"Empress Dowager, why are you doing this? After all, the Crown Princess is still your niece-in-law. Why torture yourself?"

The nanny cried heart-wrenchingly.

The Queen Mother gasped for breath, looking as if she was having difficulty breathing. Her lips were black from lack of oxygen, and her face was extremely pale.

Prince Huai and his family came to the bedside.

Prince Huai choked up and shouted, "Mother."

"Grandma!"

The three younger generations knelt down in front of the bed.

The Queen Mother turned her head weakly and looked at the few people, forcing a smile.

"Cheng, Cheng Yan."

Prince Huai immediately responded, "Mother, I am here."

The Queen Mother smiled, looking relieved.

"The Queen Mother is old, you don't have to be too sad."

Xia Nanxing and the Queen stood in the distance and watched.

Prince Huai cried, "Mother, I don't want you to die."

The Queen Mother breathed rapidly and said, "Don't cry, mother, I am relieved."

The nanny couldn't bear it any longer and cried, "Empress Dowager, if you were willing to let the Crown Prince's wife treat me, I wouldn't have to suffer for so long. Please ask the Crown Prince's wife to come. I beg you."

Prince Huai then pleaded, "Mother, please don't be stubborn. I don't want you to die."

Even at this time, the Queen Mother still said stubbornly: "I...I would rather die...than have her come..."

"Mother!"

Prince Huai wanted to persuade him again.

The Queen Mother's face flushed and she was very emotional.

"Whoever dares to ask, I...I will die in front of him..."

At this moment, she looked like she would die at any moment.

But even at this time, she was still unwilling to reconcile with the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery.

After all, it's her family, how did it get to this point?

The Queen Mother won't allow the invitation, and there's nothing anyone can do.

But seeing her like this, Xia Nanxing still ordered someone to invite Leng Qinghe over.

After the mother and son showed their affection, Prince Huai nodded and said, "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother is critically ill. Can my family and I stay in the palace tonight to attend to her?"

This is human nature, and Xia Nanxing couldn't say anything.

The queen felt increasingly uneasy.

Soon, the palace maid came to report.

"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince's wife cannot come."

Xia Nanxing frowned and asked, "Why?"

"The prince said that the lady is experiencing severe pregnancy symptoms and is feeling unwell. She needs to stay in bed and recuperate."

Everyone in the capital knows that Liang Chao, the prince of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery, loves his wife dearly.

The Queen Mother's condition is getting worse and worse. She could still speak a few words just now, but now she is completely unconscious.

From the inner hall came the sound of Prince Huai crying bitterly.

Princess Huai wailed, "Mother, Mother, please wake up!"

"Royal grandmother, royal grandmother!"

Several princes and princesses are now guarding the outer hall.

The imperial physician was hurriedly called in and then hurried out again.

"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother is critically ill. She is breathing more heavily than she is inhaling. I'm afraid, I'm afraid..."

The Queen Mother is really going to die.

Xia Nanxing looked solemn.

Prince Huai was pushed out of the inner hall and cried again, "Your Majesty, please save the Queen Mother."

Xia Nanxing had no choice but to issue another imperial decree, ordering someone to bring Leng Qinghe into the palace.

This time it was an imperial decree. If you still don't come, it would be disobeying the order.

In the evening, Leng Qinghe finally entered the palace. Liang Chao stayed beside Leng Qinghe with a grim face.

Leng Qinghe's complexion was indeed not good, and it was pale.

Liang Chao supported her with a dark face.

Xia Nanxing simply exempted the two from the formalities and let Leng Qinghe enter the inner hall for treatment.

Leng Qinghe sat down beside the bed and began to take the patient's pulse.

Prince Huai, Xia Nanxing and others were waiting by the bed.

When the sun set, Leng Qinghe finally finished taking the pulse. She said helplessly, "Huili Wutian, if the Queen Mother had allowed me to treat it last time, this illness wouldn't be so serious."

Princess Huai said anxiously: "Please think of another way!"

The inner hall fell silent. Leng Qinghe sat in front of the bed in silence for a moment before saying, "Go and ask my cousin's wife to come over."

A dark light flashed in Prince Huai's eyes, and after it disappeared in an instant, he pleaded with sorrowful eyes: "Your Majesty..."

Eunuch Zhao carefully observed Xia Nanxing's expression.

After receiving the eye signal, he immediately went down to make arrangements.

It soon became dark.

Yuan Junyao hurried into the palace.

He was invited into the inner hall without even having time to perform the formalities.

After exchanging a glance with Leng Qinghe who was sitting in front of the bed, Yuan Junyao first dispersed everyone in the room.

It was only later that the Queen Mother was examined.

The Queen Mother's illness is true, and she will not survive the night.

She can save it.

After roughly understanding the situation, she left the inner hall and said, "It can be saved. Ask the Imperial Hospital to prepare a set of silver needles and some medicinal herbs for me..."

After she finished speaking, Liang Chao said calmly, "In that case, can I take my wife out of the palace?"
