When they arrived outside the imperial study, Fan Chihai asked Song Yuntang to wait for a moment and went in to report first.

After a moment, Fan Chihai came out of the imperial study and made a gesture to invite people into the hall.

"Princess of Le'an County, His Majesty invites you."

Song Yuntang nodded, signaled Jinshu and Xia Ning to wait outside, picked up the medicine box and followed Fan Chihai into the imperial study.

The imperial study was very quiet. Walking around the screen at the door, one could see the emperor sitting behind his desk reviewing memorials. He looked focused and his eyes were deep.

Although he was just sitting there quietly, he exuded an inviolable dignity and majesty.

There is a low table on one side of the imperial study.

Sitting behind the low table was a child about nine years old. He had a pale face and a thin body, with a closed book in front of him. When his eyes met hers, they flickered slightly, but soon returned to normal.

Behind the child stood two imperial physicians, one of whom was the imperial physician Sun whom he had met before in the Yan residence.

I don’t know if the emperor specifically called her to supervise her.

Song Yuntang withdrew his gaze and knelt down to salute Li Junyao first.

"Le'an pays homage to His Majesty."

In fact, she was reluctant to enter the palace because there were so many rules in the palace and she had to kneel at every turn.

In her previous life, she had never knelt before anyone except her parents.

In recent days, I have knelt many times.

Li Junyao's eyes were still on the memorial in front of him, and he didn't look in her direction.

"Be flat."

Song Yuntang stood up for a while before Li Junyao closed the letter in his hand and looked up at her.

Although it wasn't the first time I saw her, there was still some emotion in my eyes when I saw her.

But soon, he suppressed this emotion.

This woman does look similar to Qinxue, I don’t know if it’s a coincidence or if there is some ulterior motive.

As an emperor, he cannot trust others easily, so he is wary of Song Yuntang.

The man spoke at a steady pace.

"The county lady is close to the Tang family. Would you like to know the connection between me and the Tang family?"

Song Yuntang nodded and said truthfully, "Your Majesty, Master's wife did not mention the matter of the late queen to Le An, but we in the capital did hear about her."

Li Junyao looked into her eyes as if he could see through people's hearts. His powerful aura made Song Yuntang dare not raise her eyes to look at him.

After a while, he continued, "I came to you today mainly because of the eldest prince's stubborn illness. If you can cure him, I will reward you handsomely. But if you dare to play tricks, I will also take your life!"

The warning is self-evident.

Song Yuntang was a little surprised.

Everyone says that the emperor is ruthless.

But the emperor in front of her could threaten a weak woman like her for the sake of his child, so he must love this child very much.

The late queen must have held a special place in his heart.

The late queen was the daughter of Mr. Tang and Madam Tang, and the eldest prince was born to the late queen, so he was the grandson of Mr. Tang and Madam Tang.

Regardless of whether the child's father is the emperor or not, she would not stand idly by for the sake of Mr. Tang and his wife's face.

Song Yuntang bowed respectfully to Li Junyao.

"Le Anding will do his best."

Li Junyao nodded slightly, looked at her seriously, then turned to look at the child sitting behind the low table, his eyes visibly softened.

"An'er, let's stop here today. Let the Le'an County Master take a look at you first."

Ever since the emperor's son was framed by a concubine in the harem and nearly died when he was three years old, he placed the child in the Yangxin Palace to raise him personally.

This child is smart and kind. He could compose poems at the age of five and had good handwriting at the age of seven. Now he is nine years old and has his own opinions on political affairs.

If his health can be restored, he would like to train him to be the future crown prince.

The nine-year-old raised his hand in salute.

"Yes, Father."

As he spoke, he looked at Song Yuntang and raised his hand to bow humbly, without any of the arrogance of a prince or the childishness that was typical of his age.

"Thank you for your help, County Master."

Song Yuntang hurriedly returned the gift.

"Your Highness is very polite."

She carried the medicine box to the low table, placed it beside her, and her brows softened.

"Let me check the eldest prince's pulse first."

Li Xi'an nodded and rolled up his sleeves.

The child's arms were extremely thin, his veins were bluish, and his pulse was extremely weak.

Song Yuntang asked him some questions, took his pulse carefully, and then withdrew his hand with a slightly serious expression.

Li Xian looked at her expression, smiled gently, put down his sleeves, and continued to comfort her.

"It doesn't matter if it can't be cured. Father won't blame the county lady, and the county lady doesn't need to feel pressured."

Over the years, my father ordered all the doctors in the Imperial Hospital to study his condition, and also recruited many doctors with superb medical skills from the public to come to the palace to treat him, but to no avail.

Every time they finished treating him, their expressions were as serious as the Le'an County Lady's at this moment.

He was no longer surprised and had long since accepted the fact that he was frail and sickly.

However, the woman in front of him really looked like the portrait of his mother in his father's bedroom in the Hall of Mental Cultivation. Every time he looked at her, he always thought that if his mother were still alive, she would definitely treat him as gently as she did now.

I couldn't bear to see her worrying about her illness.

The two imperial physicians beside them, especially Imperial Physician Sun, were originally full of anticipation. After all, Song Yuntang could even cure Madam Yan's terminal illness, so perhaps he could also solve the problem of the eldest prince's illness.

Seeing her expression at this moment, expectation was gradually replaced by disappointment.

Compared to most doctors, the county princess's medical skills are indeed amazing, but she is just a girl in her teens and cannot cure all diseases.

It seems that we have to find another way to cure the eldest prince's illness.

The eunuchs and palace maids in the imperial study were very careful. People outside had said that the medical skills of Princess Le'an were miraculous, but after seeing it with their own eyes today, they found that she was just an ordinary doctor.

Li Junyao looked at the reactions of Song Yuntang and everyone in the imperial study, and his brows couldn't help but furrow.

After a moment, he slowly asked, "Le'an County Master, can't you diagnose the cause of the emperor's illness?"

Song Yuntang stood up and bowed to the emperor.

"Your Majesty, it's not that we haven't diagnosed the cause of the illness, but I'm secretly considering how to formulate a treatment plan for the Crown Prince."

After hearing this, Li Junyao's brows relaxed.

"So, Princess Le'an has already diagnosed the cause of the prince's illness?"

Song Yuntang nodded, still looking thoughtful.

The two imperial doctors looked at each other and immediately became interested.

Imperial Physician Sun hurriedly bowed to Song Yuntang.

"May I ask, County Master, what is the illness that the eldest prince has?"

Not only the two imperial physicians, but Li Xian also sat up straight, looking at her steadily with seemingly calm eyes.

In the imperial study, the eunuchs and palace maids who originally thought that Song Yuntang's medical skills were mediocre also pricked up their ears, as if they wanted to know whether the county lady had really diagnosed the eldest prince's illness or was just pretending to be mysterious.

After all, the eldest prince's illness has been studied by the entire Imperial Hospital for many years, but there is still no reasonable explanation, and it can only be alleviated through medication.

The Lady of Le'an County simply took the patient's pulse and asked a few questions before she diagnosed the cause of the illness.

The judgment was indeed a bit sloppy.
