A five-year-old goddess, raised to become an emperor for all time through a bronze mirror.

Meanwhile, at the other end of the palace, inside the Fengyi Palace, the atmosphere was tense and solemn.

Hachi was slowly floating in front of the Queen, its body emitting a faint blue light that flickered as if conveying some kind of message.

Suddenly, Xiao Ba emitted a soft electronic beep, which immediately alerted the chief guard.

"Protect the Queen!"

A guard captain shouted loudly, and instantly all the guards tensed up. They drew their weapons and surrounded the queen to prevent any unforeseen events.

One of the bodyguards reacted the fastest, drawing his sword and pointing the tip directly at Xiao Ba, looking as if he were facing a formidable enemy.

His voice was filled with terror and anger: "What...what is this monster doing? Could it be trying to harm Her Majesty the Empress?!"

Before he finished speaking, his sword had already been swung out, heading straight for Xiao Ba, and the blade was about to touch Xiao Ba's body.

At this critical moment, Hachi swiftly extended its mechanical arm, its movements so fast that they left everyone speechless.

With a sharp crackling sound of electricity, Xiao Ba's mechanical arm instantly released a powerful current.

Before the guard could utter a sound, he was struck by electricity, his body convulsed, and he collapsed to the ground with a thud, his sword falling to the ground with a clang.

The palace maids had never seen such a scene before, and they all stared in horror, some even covering their mouths to avoid screaming.

The entire Fengyi Palace was deathly silent, except for the hum of electricity and the sound of guards falling to the ground.

The Empress lay slumped on the bedsheets, completely powerless, but a hint of surprise flickered in her eyes.

She quietly observed Hachiko, seemingly waiting for its next move.

After knocking down the guard, Xiao Ba slowly retracted his mechanical arm and floated quietly in the air, as if nothing had happened.

Xiao Ba's mechanical voice echoed within the Phoenix Palace, its tone cold and tinged with disdain:

"Is this the kind of treatment you get when I come to your home for a medical consultation? How can you diagnose a patient without examining them?"

Although its voice was mechanical, it clearly conveyed a human emotion, as if it had truly been treated unfairly.

Its original intention was simply to turn on the built-in scanner and quickly and efficiently check the Queen's health.

But it didn't expect the palace guards to be so vigilant, almost causing it to be attacked.

"I'm not treating you anymore, you're all old fogies!"

Hachi's voice was full of displeasure. The electronic screen on its face, which originally displayed ordinary emoticons, now showed two big white eyes, which looked unusually vivid.

As it spoke, Xiao Ba stretched out its mechanical arm, trying to pull De Fei away from this place that made it feel uncomfortable.

Consort De gently grasped its mechanical hand, her face full of tenderness and understanding:

"Xiao Ba, don't be stubborn. The Empress is seriously ill today, and you must treat her!"

Consort De's words carried a hint of determination; she knew the importance of Xiao Ba and was also aware of its abilities.

She gently pulled Xiao Ba towards the Queen and continued:

"Your Majesty, although Xiao Ba looks different from others, its medical skills are superb. I'm sure some people in the palace have already benefited from Xiao Ba's medical skills."

After speaking, Consort De's gaze swept over several palace maids, who had either personally experienced or witnessed Xiao Ba's medical skills.

Under Consort De's gaze, they all lowered their heads, some showing shame, while others nervously clutched the hem of their clothes.

If the Empress finds out that someone from her own palace went out to seek medical help from someone from Shanghe Palace, how ridiculous it would be! Wouldn't that be a slap in the face to Her Majesty the Empress?

The Empress watched this scene, a hint of tenderness flashing in her eyes. She nodded slightly, agreeing with Consort De's words.

"Your sister, Consort De, is right, Little Eight. I believe in your abilities. Please treat me." Her voice, though weak, was full of authority and trust.

Xiao Ba's electronic eyes flashed a few times, seemingly moved by the Empress's attitude;

It withdrew its attempt to leave, readjusted its expression, and adopted a serious and focused demeanor, preparing to begin its diagnostic work.

With encouragement from Consort De and the Empress, Xiao Ba finally decided to let go of the previous misunderstanding and slowly opened the scanner on its chest.

A soft beam of light shone from the scanner, gently enveloping the Queen.

Xiao Ba's electronic eyes were fixed on the scanner screen, and the data began to scroll rapidly, analyzing the Queen's physical condition.

A moment later, Xiao Ba's electronic eyes suddenly stopped flashing, and its voice carried a hint of surprise:

"Her Majesty the Empress's illness is still malaria, but this type of malaria develops very quickly. Fortunately, it was detected in time."

It's possible that the Empress's unique constitution caused the onset of the illness to be so rapid!

Upon hearing this diagnosis, Consort De became anxious: "What should we do? The Empress has always been frail; won't this malaria cause her even more harm?"

Xiao Ba pondered for a moment, then continued, "Her Majesty the Empress's constitution is indeed special; ordinary malaria treatment may not be suitable for her."

However, I can adjust the treatment plan according to her physical condition, using gentler medications and methods.

Although the Empress was pale, she remained calm: "Xiao Ba, I believe you. Let's do as you say."

There was no other way but to try anything at this point!

Xiao Ba nodded, and its mechanical arm quickly retrieved several specially made pills and some tiny injections from its built-in medicine tank.

It began carefully preparing the medicine, explaining as it did so:

"These pills were specially developed by me. They can harmonize the Empress's Qi and blood, enhance her constitution, and fight against malaria."

The injections are to alleviate the Empress's current symptoms and make her more comfortable.

As the palace maids and guards watched Xiao Ba's skillful operation, their fear and doubt were gradually replaced by awe and trust.

They began to understand that this tiny mechanical creature not only possessed extraordinary medical skills, but also had a heart that cared for its patients.

Xiao Ba carefully handed the pills to the Queen and instructed her on how to take them.

Then, it treated the Queen with tiny needles. The Queen's complexion gradually regained its rosy hue, and her breathing became much more stable.

"Thank you, Xiao Ba. I feel much better." The Empress smiled slightly, her eyes filled with gratitude.

Xiao Ba's electronic eyes flashed, and he seemed to breathe a sigh of relief: "Your Majesty, you don't need to be so polite. It's what I should do. From now on, I will come regularly to check on Your Majesty's health to ensure that the malaria does not recur."

Suddenly, Crown Prince Pei Huai-ren rushed in from outside the door: "Mother, I am late..."
