Qin Yun hurriedly reached out to support Gu Qingxue. ‘Eldest Miss, are you alright?”

Gu Qingxue twisted her sore arm and could not help but rub her brows. I’m fine. Maybe I’m a little uncomfortable because I slept here last night.

Qin Hun’s eyes were filled with unconcealable worry. “Didn’t Eldest Miss say you were going back to her room to rest last night? If you sleep here, your body will naturally be very uncomfortable.”

“It’s a long story. My body is fine, go get some water for me to wash up, I’ll go back to my room to change my clothes.” As Gu Qingxue spoke, she stood up. As a result, the black jade box hidden in her sleeve fell to the ground with her movement, making a crisp sound.

Qin Yun bent down to pick up the box and looked at it carefully. “Eldest Miss, this box looks so exquisite.”

Gu Qingxue looked at the black jade box and could not help but recall everything that happened between her and Rong Zhan last night.

Gu Qingxue could not help but frown. “Mmhm, you should put this thing in the warehouse first. There are very precious medicinal herbs in it, and they need to be preserved in a dry environment. Place it on the top of the shelf, and bring it to me when I need it in the next two days.”

Qin Hun obediently agreed. She then took the black jade box and walked toward the warehouse.

Gu Qingxue went back to her room to change her clothes. After washing up and having breakfast, she went out and got on the carriage, heading straight for the palace.

A moment later, in Fengkang Palace…

In the royal chamber, Gu Qingxue was taking the pulse of the empress dowager, who was lying on the bed with a pained expression.

Nanny Bi Zhu stood beside Gu Qingxue, her eyes filled with unconcealable worry. “Doctor Gu, how is the empress dowager’s health?”

Gu Qingxue put away the hand that was taking the empress dowager’s pulse and raised her head to look at the empress dowager who was lying on the bed.

The empress dowager’s face was pale, and her expression was pained. Her eyes were closed, and she did not move. She felt an intense dull pain coming from her mind, almost breaking her fragile nerves.

Gu Qingxue said softly, “The empress dowager’s illness is acting up and her condition isn’t very good.” I have some medicine here that can nurse your body. Empress dowager, after you take it, your condition will improve.”

When the empress dowager heard this, she opened her eyes and looked in Gu Qingxue’s direction expectantly. “Is it really so? Cough, cough, cough… I have been plagued by this illness since I was a child. This illness is very aggressive and every time it torments me. I will be in so much pain that I would rather die. I don’t know if you have any way to help me relieve the pain?

“I have a way here, but your body has always been weak. You need to treat your illness and at the same time use tonics to nourish your body. In this way, it may affect the effect of the treatment to a certain extent, and it may take an additional forty to fifty days of treatment,” Gu Qingxue explained.

The empress dowager did not find it troublesome. Instead, she smiled excitedly and said, “As long as you can cure my illness, not to mention forty or fifty days, even if need to take a year or so, I will not have any complaints.”

Nanny Bizhu’s smile was so wide that all the wrinkles on her face were pushed together.”Empress dowager, this is really too good. Lord Gu, please quickly prescribe the medicine. This old servant will order someone to prepare the medicine.”

Seeing that the palace maid had already brought her a brush, ink, paper, and an inkstone, Gu Qingxue quickly wrote down two prescriptions and handed them to Nanny Bi Zhu. “The empress dowager’s medicine needs to be used with extreme care, especially the amount I wrote down. There can’t be any mistakes, and even the temperature of the cooking is very particular. I need to personally boil the medicine before I can rest a.s.sured..”
