The empress disliked my achievements for overshadowing her own, so she turned her attention to the N

Chen Nan's expression changed, and he exclaimed in surprise, "What? Didn't I say that no one was allowed to approach the two of them without my permission? Why was that Imperial Physician able to get close to them?"

Hongming behind her also realized that, strictly speaking, this should be considered her mistake.

"Chen Nan, don't blame Eunuch Wang for this."

"At that time, the imperial physician also stepped forward and felt around on the two men's wrists for a long time."

He said that if the two of them didn't receive effective treatment, they wouldn't make it to tomorrow morning.

"Moreover, none of us know medicine, which is why we asked him to take a look at the Empress Dowager. We never expected the result to be like this."

Chen Nan sighed and said with a wry smile, "Well, since I can leave the two of them here with peace of mind, I must make sure that they are both fine for the time being."

"Is the situation very serious now?" Hongming asked softly.

Wang Gonggong, who was standing to the side, also stared at Chen Nan with a worried expression.

The two of them are now placing all their hopes on Chen Nan. If Chen Nan really says that they are beyond saving, the entire Northern Wei Dynasty will probably descend into chaos tomorrow.

Chen Nan shook his head and said, "Hongze's problem is not too difficult to solve. After treatment, he should be able to get up first thing tomorrow morning."

"The problem with the Empress Dowager is rather serious..."

"What? Oh dear, Your Highness, please don't frighten this old servant!" Eunuch Wang immediately put on a mournful face.

He had dedicated his entire life to serving the Northern Wei royal family. If something were to happen to the Empress Dowager and a new ruler were to take over, what would become of him?

"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore, and don't mention the situation here to outsiders."

"If anyone asks, just say that thanks to my treatment, the Empress Dowager's condition has gradually improved, and she will be able to attend court in a few days!"

"Eunuch Wang, you may leave now. Hongming and I are fine here!"

Under Chen Nan's orders, Eunuch Wang had no choice but to leave the room and give the space to Chen Nan.

As Wang Gonggong left, his robes clung tightly to his chest, but he still stared hopefully into the Imperial Hospital. He so desperately hoped that the Empress Dowager would wake up immediately.

I just exchanged a couple of words with Chen Nan, and the pressure Chen Nan exerted on me was like a mountain peak, and that was without Chen Nan deliberately showing his power.

He really couldn't imagine what level Chen Nan's true strength had reached.

Chen Nan pushed Eunuch Wang out and closed the door behind him.

She slowly moved between the two of them and opened her clothes at the front.

Seeing this, Hongming's face flushed red: "Chen Nan, what are you doing? There are people watching us!"

Chen Nan turned to Hong Ming, puzzled, and asked, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with me?"

Seeing Chen Nan turn around, Hongming quickly closed his eyes: "What are you doing?"

Chen Nan suddenly smiled. He knew that Hongming had probably misunderstood him and thought he was going to do something else.

He explained, "I opened my chest so that I could easily take my own heart's blood."

After saying that, a silver needle appeared in his right hand, which emitted a faint light in the dim light.

Then Chen Nan aimed the silver needle at his heart and plunged it in.

As soon as it was inserted, Chen Nan let out a cold snort, and his face contorted in pain.

Hearing the sound, Hongming opened his eyes: "What are you doing?"

Hongming wanted to step forward to help, but she didn't know what she should do and could only stand by anxiously.

Seeing Hongming's anxious expression, Chen Nan gently comforted him, "It's alright, I just took out two drops of my own heart's blood and fed it to the two of them."

"Then I'll give Hongming some acupuncture, and he'll wake up first thing tomorrow morning."

He only mentioned Hongze's situation, but didn't say much about the Empress Dowager.

To be honest, Chen Nan wasn't sure if he had a way to bring the Empress Dowager back to life.

He had experienced the illusion before, and could only say that the other party's methods were extremely clever, so clever that even he, a martial artist with the cultivation of a grandmaster, almost fell for it.

The Empress Dowager was just an ordinary person, and her physical condition was far inferior to Chen Nan's.

In that illusion, the most important thing is one's own willpower and survival instinct.

The Empress Dowager is still in a coma, which means she is still dealing with the old man in the illusion.

Just as Chen Nan was taking his own heart's blood, the Empress Dowager, who was in an illusion, was in an oasis.

Beside her stood a handsome man in royal robes, with a golden sword at his waist, and several guards around them.

"Xiao Yi, I've let you suffer all this time. Now that you're here, don't leave. Stay and keep me company!"

"Xiao Yi..."

The Empress Dowager repeated the name blankly. She hadn't heard anyone call her that name for at least two years. Hearing it suddenly, she felt a sense of familiarity, as if she had returned to the past.

That's right, that person was the late Emperor of Northern Wei. This illusion will appear according to the actual situation in the mind of the lost person, so that the person will get lost in it, or rather, enjoy the life in it and be unwilling to face reality.

"Am I really going to stay here from now on?" The Empress Dowager blushed and lowered her head in deep thought.

At that moment, the Empress Dowager, who had been sitting quietly on the stone just a second ago, felt a flame rising in her heart that seemed to pierce the sky.

This flame came just in time, allowing the Empress Dowager, who had almost lost her way, to rediscover herself.

She stood up and looked at the handsome man behind her: "Weren't you already dead? Why are you here?"

Upon hearing this, the man's expression froze for a moment, but he quickly recovered: "Liang Yi, what nonsense are you talking about? I came here especially to keep you company because I saw you were lonely and cold."

"How could you have such a question?"

The Empress Dowager's lips curled into a sneer, "Why should I stay here?"

She seemed to have thought of something, and her face flushed.

She could feel a very familiar sensation in what had just risen in her chest.

She had only ever felt that way with Chen Nan.

This is also what made her wake up instantly.

Just after the Empress Dowager regained consciousness, the wet nurse's voice came from behind her again: "Mother, does Mother not want her child anymore? Does even Mother want to leave her child?"

Upon hearing this, the Empress Dowager turned around again. Standing in front of her was a child of about twelve or thirteen years old. The child's face was still very innocent, but his dark eyes were very bright.

"You are... Sheng'er?"

Chen Sheng was the name given to his son by the first emperor of the Northern Wei Dynasty, who hoped that his son would excel in everything he did.

However, just as the Empress Dowager finished speaking, a glint flashed in the child's eyes, as if he had caught some incredible information.
