Emperor Jing Xuan took a deep look at Su Xiaoxiao, who was looking for medicine. He strode towards the Empress Dowager. “Mother.”
The Empress Dowager ate the porridge indifferently.
Emperor Jing Xuan felt a little embarra.s.sed, but he had gotten used to it over the years.
On the other hand, Princess Jing Ning bowed. “Father.” She also bowed to the Empress behind him. “Mother.” The Empress Dowager glared at Princess Jingning.
Princess Jingning quietly continued to feed the porridge.
Eunuch Fu quietly approached Emperor Jing Xuan and reported softly, “The Empress Dowager can hear. She won’t feel dizzy anymore and can eat.” Emperor Jing Xuan had mixed feelings.
On the one hand, he hoped that the Empress Dowager could be cured, but on the other hand, he did not want the person who treated her to be this girl.
After all—
“After all, your father agreed so readily. It’s not that he trusts her or thinks highly of Xiao Zhonghua. It’s because if she can’t be treated, your father can punish her with the death penalty and use her life to coerce Su Cheng to hand over his military power.”
After Emperor Jing Xuan left, the Empress whispered to Princess Jingning.
Princess Jing Ning agreed.
The Empress looked at Su Xiaoxiao, who was checking on the Empress Dowager behind the screen. “This girl’s medical skills are surprising.”
Princess Jingning puffed out her chest proudly.
She said, “Mother, go back to Kunning Palace. I’ll accompany Grandmother tonight.”
The Empress knew that she was accompanying her cla.s.smate, so she did not expose her. She nodded and left with the palace maids.
Halfway through, a young eunuch hurriedly welcomed her and reported, “Her Majesty, His Majesty… has gone to Qixiang Palace.”
Qixiang Palace was Consort Xian’s residence. Emperor Jingxuan had not been there for a while.
The empress said indifferently, “Got it.”
Seeing that she was so calm, Auntie Mei couldn’t help but worry for her. “Your Highness, it wasn’t easy to make Consort Xian lose favor. We can’t let her be doted on anymore! Think of a way to get His Majesty to come to Kunning Palace, right?”
The Empress said calmly, “Hasn’t he come enough recently?”
The Empress Dowager lay on the bed and watched as Su Xiaoxiao wrapped a strange cloth around her arm. She even used her internal energy to make the cloth swell—
Actually, it was not internal strength. It was the sphygmomanometer that inflated the airbag.
The Empress Dowager didn’t understand, so she thought it was internal energy.
Then, she saw the little girl stick a cold little thing into her clothes and touch her chest.
“You… don’t be too impudent!”
She gritted her teeth.
Doctor Su said seriously, “This is a checkup. Don’t move. Take a deep breath and inhale….
The Empress Dowager glared at her as she took a deep breath.
Su Xiaoxiao said, “Breathe…
The Empress Dowager glared and exhaled.
After repeating this several times, Su Xiaoxiao put away the stethoscope.
It took the Empress Dowager a long time to calm down.
She said calmly, “Girl, you haven’t told me what your relationship with Su
Huayin is.”
Su Xiaoxiao opened the medicine box and placed the stethoscope inside. “Oh, she’s my grandmother.”
The Empress Dowager was slightly stunned. “Your father is Su Cheng? You’re the girl who grew up among the commoners?”
“Yes.”
Unexpectedly, even the Empress Dowager had heard of her. Was she famous in the palace?
The Empress Dowager studied Su Xiaoxiao’s round face. “You really look.. like your grandmother…”
Su Xiaoxiao asked, “Does the Empress Dowager know my grandmother?” The Empress Dowager did not continue.
She looked at Su Xiaoxiao with a complicated expression and said, “Leave. Don’t come to treat me in the future. You won’t be able to treat me.”
The Empress Dowager was exhausted and rested after eating the porridge. Princess Jingning walked into the room with Taozhi behind her.
“Are you hungry?” she said. “Go get something to eat.”
“Okay.” Su Xiaoxiao followed her to the side hall next door. Princess Jingning left Taozhi and the eunuch in charge to take care of the Empress Dowager.
The two of them sat down on stools. The young eunuch serving them opened the food box and brought out a few steaming dishes.
“You eat too, ” Su Xiaoxiao said to Princess Jingning.
“I’ve eaten,” Princess Jingning said.
After a pause, she said to the young eunuch, “Give me a bowl of soup.” The young eunuch scooped a bowl of black chicken soup for her.
Princess Jingning took a sip and asked Su Xiaoxiao, “How’s my grandmother’s condition?”
Su Xiaoxiao said, “To be honest, the situation isn’t good.”
Princess Jing Ning wondered, “I thought she could already hear? She’s no longer dizzy and vomiting.”
Su Xiaoxiao explained, “Ear stone disease is a sudden illness. What really is really making the Empress Dowager sick is irreversible aging and overthinking..”
