Playing bad and eating melons: The whole court is laughing? No, no

Hall of Supreme Harmony.

Jiang Yueyang sat lazily in his seat, listening to the discussion between the civil and military officials and Emperor Yuan.

She looked around aimlessly, having nothing to do.

Just when she was about to call out the little one who was also slacking off to chat about gossip, there was a commotion outside.

The official who was talking to Emperor Yuan was interrupted by the noise coming from outside and slowly turned his head to look outside.

Emperor Yuan, Jiang Yueyang and others also looked outside following the sound.

At this time, a young eunuch hurried in and knelt down to report: "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager sent someone to say that the Empress Dowager has suddenly fallen unconscious. Her Majesty asks Master Xiao Jiang to go to Shoukang Palace as soon as possible!"

Emperor Yuan stood up suddenly and walked down hurriedly without asking the empress dowager why she suddenly fell unconscious.

He walked quickly while calling out urgently, "Jiang Yueyang, Guo Yuanzheng."

The two men quickly followed his footsteps, and the Crown Prince, Prince of Yan and others followed closely behind.

The others watched them leave with serious expressions, secretly feeling that the Empress Dowager was in great danger this time.

Meanwhile, in Shoukang Palace, the Empress was pacing beside the bed with an anxious look on her face, accompanied by Gu Ruo.

Doctor Zhou carefully inserted acupuncture into the empress dowager's head, and sweat continued to appear on his forehead.

The other four imperial physicians stood by and discussed the Empress Dowager's condition based on her pulse, their expressions not looking optimistic.

After half a quarter of an hour, Doctor Zhou finished the acupuncture.

Seeing this, the Empress asked hurriedly, "Doctor Zhou, how is the Empress Dowager?"

Doctor Zhou wiped his sweat off his face and said with embarrassment: "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother's pulse is much weaker than before. There is no improvement after acupuncture. I am afraid..."

When the Queen heard this, her face turned pale and she almost fell to the ground.

The imperial physicians present were startled. Doctor Zhou hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, you are pregnant now. You must take care of yourself!"

"Mother, I will be here to look after the Empress Dowager. Please go and have a rest." Gu Ruo said.

The Empress raised her hand to indicate that she was fine. Seeing that the messenger hadn't brought Jiang Yueyang yet, she became anxious and angry. "It's already so late, why hasn't Master Jiang arrived yet? Where's the medicine? Hasn't the Empress Dowager prepared the medicine yet? What are you all doing for a living?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the palace maids and eunuchs in the bedroom immediately knelt on the ground, lowered their heads and dared not utter a word.

The next moment, a female doctor walked in quickly with a bowl of steaming medicine.

She walked tremblingly to the Empress Dowager's bed with the medicine in her hand, knelt down, and carefully fed the Empress Dowager the medicine.

But the Empress Dowager was in a coma and unable to swallow on her own, so the medicine could not be fed to her.

Seeing that the Empress Dowager was about to reprimand, Doctor Zhou hurriedly took the medicine bowl from the female doctor and personally fed the medicine to the Empress Dowager, but he only fed a little.

After the Empress Dowager drank the medicine, the five imperial doctors present took her pulse one by one.

"How is it?" asked the Queen anxiously.

The five doctors looked at each other in bewilderment. Finally, Doctor Zhou spoke up, "Your Majesty, we gave the Empress Dowager a strong medicine. Her pulse hasn't improved after taking it. Her condition is not optimistic."

The four imperial physicians thought to themselves that the situation was not optimistic at all, but there was no hope of recovery!

When the Queen heard this, she almost fainted. Fortunately, Aunt Shang next to her was quick to support her.

At this moment, Emperor Yuan hurried over with Jiang Yueyang and others.

Emperor Yuan strode to the bedside and looked at the unconscious Empress Dowager with anxiety in his eyes.

He didn't ask the imperial physician at the Imperial Hospital about the Empress Dowager's condition, but simply called out, "Jiang Yueyang."

Jiang Yueyang understood what she meant and quickly stepped forward, pulled up Empress Dowager Gao's sleeve and took her pulse.

After a quick scan, the system said calmly, "It's late-stage liver cancer."

[Late-stage liver cancer? Doesn't that mean... there's no hope?]

【Well, there's no hope.】

Upon hearing this, Emperor Yuan suddenly felt dizzy and his body swayed. Li Fuquan, who was standing beside him, hurriedly supported him.

Just as Jiang Yueyang was about to withdraw her hand and inform Emperor Yuan of the Empress Dowager's illness, she suddenly thought of something.

She looked up at Emperor Yuan, then at the pale-faced Empress Dowager, and after a moment's hesitation, she asked, "Can Lingxi Pills save him?"

When they heard the words "Lingxi Pills", Emperor Yuan and the people present instantly felt a glimmer of hope in their hearts.

According to legend, Lingxi Pills have the power to bring the dead back to life and may be able to save the Empress Dowager.

But then they thought, they don’t have Lingxi Pills now.

System: [Lingxi Pills can save lives at critical moments, but it cannot bring people back to life as the legend says, nor can it kill the cancer cells in the Queen Mother's body.

Furthermore, the cancer cells in the Queen Mother's body have already spread throughout her body. Even if she takes Lingxi Pills, I'm afraid it won't have much effect...

The green of the five-colored flowers...

[Same.] The system interrupted her, [They can't kill cancer cells.]

Hearing that the green petals of the five-colored flower could not save the Empress Dowager, Jiang Yueyang slowly withdrew his hand from taking the pulse and shook his head at Emperor Yuan.

"Your Majesty, I am powerless to help the Queen Mother."
