"Reporting to Your Majesty, the Empress's pulse is stronger than before. This subject and the rest have discussed a formula and decided to let the Queen take it after it has been cooked.

The people from the hospital did not dare to say such words too harshly. After all, the empress's body was in tatters. The spirit that she had expended so much effort to nurture had been completely wiped out by the fall.

More importantly, when they were checking the Queen's pulse, they realized that the Queen seemed to have given up on them.

They could cure anyone who was sick, but they couldn't if they wanted to die.

Only, none of them had expected that not long after Xu Family this third daughter-in-law had arrived, the Empress's pulse would start to fill with life. Even the Empress himself seemed to have picked up hope once more.

They could not say these words, but it did not mean that they were not happy.

To be able to save the empress, they would definitely be able to keep their lives, let alone become an official.

That was why they said such words. It sounded as if they didn't say anything, but Emperor Ruikang, who was familiar with what they did, finally heaved a sigh of relief.

If they weren't really confident, they would never say such words.

Just a moment ago, this was the breath that made Emperor Ruikang relax. Unexpectedly, in the next instant, he felt like his vision had turned black.

Before he could steady himself, he heard the imperial physicians' cries of alarm.

Dong Shu and Xu Nuanwen had been sitting at the side, waiting for the imperial physicians to take a look at the empress's pulse. When they heard the imperial physicians say that the empress's pulse was stronger than before, they looked at each other in joy.

Dong Shu and Xu Nuanwen didn't hesitate at all, and almost subconsciously, the two of them had already stood up quickly, using their fastest speed to support Emperor Ruikang, who almost fell down.

When Emperor Ruikang felt that his vision wasn't as dark, he realized that he was tightly grabbing onto Dong Shu's wrist.

Thinking that she was lucky, and was even Xu Zhenbei's daughter-in-law, Emperor Ruikang could not help but open his mouth: "Good child, I knew you were a good child."

When Emperor Ruikang's tone of voice sounded, Xu Nuanwen and the imperial physicians who were waiting at the side all heaved a sigh of relief.

Dong Shu did not know the worries of the Aunt Sister and the imperial physicians. In her heart, the Empress was an elder, and the Emperor was naturally an elder as well.

"He doesn't deserve His Majesty's praise." Dong Shu softly replied. After pausing for a moment, she continued, "Now that Empress's body has improved, I hope that Your Majesty can take care of your body."

If someone else were to say this, Emperor Ruikang might think that you are referring to them, but the one who said this was the fortunate Dong Shu that Master Xuan Ling had spoken of before.

Furthermore, since Emperor Ruikang was well aware of Dong Shu's personality, when he heard her words, not only was he not angry, his face even revealed a trace of a smile, "No wonder the Empress always says that you're a sincere child." After saying that, the Emperor Ruikang loosened his grip on Dong Shu's wrist and continued, "Go, visit the Queen again."

Dong Shu was very obedient, upon hearing Emperor Ruikang's words, she bowed to him, then slowly retreated to the side of the Queen's bed.

After Dong Shu left, Xu Nuanwen looked towards the Emperor Ruikang and said, "My daughter-in-law knows that the Royal Father has a deep affection for the Queen Mother, but the Royal Father should also pay attention to his body." After she finished speaking, Xu Nuanwen sighed before whispering, "Brother Huan'er's father obviously went into the palace with his daughter-in-law, yet he hasn't reached the Phoenix Palace yet. I wonder where he went?"

Xu Nuanwen seemed to be muttering to herself afterwards, but she was not far from Emperor Ruikang, so she was naturally heard clearly by him.

"Don't blame Ol 'Five. If you didn't come with your sister-in-law, you wouldn't have been able to get in."

After the Emperor Ruikang finished speaking, he did not care about Xu Nuanwen's expression anymore. Instead, he looked at the head of the hospital and asked him, "What happened to me just now?"

Seeing that the Emperor Ruikang finally had the mood to deal with him, the hospital director was pleasantly surprised. He took two steps forward and respectfully said, "This subject will first request for Your Majesty's pulse."

Although the head of the hospital guessed what was going on with the Emperor Ruikang, he didn't dare to speak directly.

During the time it took the head of the hospital to check the pulse of the Emperor Ruikang, Dong Shu had already moved close to the empress's side and grabbed her hand.

"Empress Dowager, the Imperial Physician said your pulse is stronger than it was before. I presume you'll wake up very soon." Empress, can you wake up quickly? Shu'er has not seen you for quite some days and has a lot of things that I want to tell you. "

Dong Shu accompanied the empress like this. Even when the Mama Su had personally made the medicine, she had also helped the Mama Hu feed the empress.

The empress had only drunk half of the entire bowl of soup, but it had also made everyone in the imperial hospital heave a sigh of relief.

After the empress drank the soup for an hour, all the imperial physicians of the Grand Hospital diagnosed her pulse once again. This time, the head of the Grand Hospital finally dared to guarantee to the Emperor Ruikang, "Reporting to Your Majesty, the Empress will definitely wake up within an hour."

With these words from the hospital chief, the people in the Phoenix Palace all heaved a sigh of relief.

Emperor Ruikang had been with the empress ever since he found out that she was in danger of falling into a coma. At this point, the imperial physician told him to rest well and that the empress had a chance to wake up.

Of course, other than his own body being unable to take it, there was another reason why he was leaving this place. Emperor Ruikang didn't know how to face the Queen.

He already had a rough idea of what had happened today, but his personality made him unwilling to deal with the person who did it.

But it was true that the empress's body was on the verge of destruction today, so before the empress woke up, he took the stance of being worried about her, but he was also afraid that the empress would wake up and ask him to punish the person who had acted today.

It was because of these reasons that Emperor Ruikang only thought of using the reason of his unhealthy body to quickly leave the Empress's place after he was sure that the Queen would wake up in a while.

"I'm feeling a little tired. Ol 'Five, stay with your sister-in-law by your mother's side tonight."

The Emperor Ruikang mainly wanted Dong Shu to stay behind to accompany the Empress, but the palace door was about to be locked, leaving the family of an official inside the palace was not the right time.

Although he was old, there was still a concubine in the imperial harem. If Dong Shu was the only one left, and something bad happened to them, he would be afraid of the Empress and the Xu Family causing trouble.

Therefore, in the end, the Emperor Ruikang had asked Xu Nuanwen to stay behind with them.

Xu Nuanwen had been planning to follow them into the palace in a hurry, and upon hearing the Emperor Ruikang's words, she immediately agreed, and declared that it was natural for her to serve the Queen Mother.

After the Emperor Ruikang left and after some discussion in the Grand Hospital, he also left the two older imperial physicians at the front hall of the Phoenix Palace, afraid that the empress would have another accident at night.

Once the others left, Mama Su quickly arranged for some people to send some food over, "Both Fifth Prince's Concubine and Third Madame need some. Today, this servant is hurriedly looking for Third Madame, the two of you definitely haven't had time to eat."

Hearing Mama Su's words, Dong Shu and Xu Nuanwen realized that they were extremely hungry.

Thinking that it would still be a while before the Queen woke up, the two of them did not refuse her.

After the two of them ate simple meals, Mama Yan also took Dong Shu's two sets of clothes and the two sets of clothes sent over by Fifth Prince Palace and appeared in Phoenix Palace. After the two of them washed up and changed, the sky had already turned completely dark.

Dong Shu and Xu Nuanwen had not interacted at all, but Dong Shu could not help but want to speak, yet Xu Nuanwen continued to squeeze her hand.

Dong Shu remembered that the Mama Yan had once told him that even the stones in the palace could talk, so she held back from speaking.

When the two finished packing up and returned to the inner hall of the Phoenix Palace, the Queen woke up.

After the empress woke up, the first thing she saw was Dong Shu kneeling by her bedside. "Shu'er." The empress's voice was very soft, but these two words caused the people waiting for her to be so happy that they didn't know what to do.

"Empress, Shu'er knew that you would definitely wake up."

After Dong Shu said this to the Empress, she hurriedly looked towards Mama Hu and said, "Mama Hu, didn't the imperial physician say to give the Empress another dose when she wakes up?"

Hearing Dong Shu's words, the Mama Hu immediately raised her hand to wipe the tears at the corner of her eyes, then looked towards the Queen and said: "Look at me. With that, the Mama Hu slowly withdrew and prepared to call for the Mama Su who was guarding the medicine in the side hall.

After the Mama Hu left, the Empress looked at Dong Shu and said, "I only felt that my surroundings were pitch-black, my body falling all the way down. I was about to fall to the ground when I heard your voice. "

The empress's voice was still very soft, and one could only hear it if they got close.

Dong Shu stayed by the empress's side and naturally heard her words clearly.

"Then Shu'er will definitely speak more to the Empress." Dong Shu's eyes turned red, and after she said those words to the Queen, she suddenly looked at her and giggled.

When the Queen saw Dong Shu's smile, not only was she not angry, she even felt that she was truly worried for herself.

Just when she woke up, the Queen did not have much energy left. She smiled lightly and looked at Xu Nuanwen who was behind Dong Shu.

Seeing that the Queen was looking at him, Xu Nuanwen immediately told her that she was at the villa today, hearing that the Mama Su had come to find him in a hurry.

After she finished speaking, Xu Nuanwen did not forget to speak too much, "Royal Father has been keeping watch beside Imperial Mother's bed until an hour ago. The Imperial Physician said that Imperial Mother's health had improved a lot, and that Royal Father was only persuaded to go back and rest because she was too excited and fainted."

Xu Nuanwen's words seemed to mean speaking up for the Emperor Ruikang.

She knew some of the contradictions that existed between the Empress and Emperor Ruikang, but she also knew that she had to say these words.

Because of her and Dong Shu's performance in the Phoenix Palace tonight, there would definitely be someone who would tell Emperor Ruikang.

The Empress obviously understood this point, so after hearing Xu Nuanwen's words, she nodded her head in agreement.

The Empress understood that Xu Nuanwen was staying here because she had an identity that was unsuitable for him to stay in the palace. Now that she was accompanying him, there would be no bad news to spread.

But either the empress had just woken up, or the empress didn't want to talk about the Emperor Ruikang with Xu Nuanwen, so she had no intention to talk about it after Xu Nuanwen opened her mouth.

When Mama Hu and Mama Su brought the soup over, and Dong Shu served the empress with half a bowl of medicine, the empress looked at Mama Hu and Mama Su and said, "You two should go take a rest first. Let Shu'er and the fifth brother watch over me in the middle of the night, come back in the middle of the night."

The empress knew that since she fell into the water in the morning, Mama Hu and Mama Su must have had no time to rest. Coincidentally, she was still full of energy, so she wanted to let the two of them rest first.

Mama Hu and Mama Su still wanted to speak, but the Empress shook her head and said, "You two don't look too good either. I know my body well, and I think you two should rest well for a few days.

When the Queen's words came out, Mama Hu and Mama Su started to hesitate. Dong Shu saw the two of them hesitating, and said: "It's better if the two Mama go and rest. Mama Yan is here, and there are still a few big palace maids.

When the Mama Hu and the Mama Su heard Dong Shu's words, they saluted to the Queen, gave a few more instructions to the big palace maid, and then went back to eat and rest.

After the Mama Hu and the Mama Su left, the Queen ordered the palace maids to bring in some thick blankets to spread on the sides of her bed.

After they had all made up the bed, the empress looked at Dong Shu and said, "Shu'er, come over and protect me."

The Queen didn't tell anyone that she felt her body loosen a lot more as Dong Shu got closer to her.

Because of the voice she had heard in the darkness earlier, she firmly believed that the reason she had been able to survive was due to Dong Shu's fortune.

Looking at this junior who was so worried about her, the empress made up her mind.

After experiencing today's life and death, she would definitely not stay in the Phoenix Palace to think about her son's family. Once she recovers, she will definitely leave some power behind for the people who care about her.
