The two waited in the side hall for a while. Shang Yiqing, on the other hand, was calm and composed as she arrogantly sat on the imperial concubine's chair, looking around with her clear black and white eyes.

However, he was worried about Shang Tiancheng. He fidgeted, sitting down from time to time, getting up from time to time, and then pacing back and forth hurriedly without stopping for even a moment.

Shang Yiqing couldn't help but say, "Dad, don't worry. I promise I'll be fine. Maybe the empress will even reward us when she summons us later!"

"How dare you be so arrogant! If the empress doesn't punish us later, we'll have Amitabha!" Shang Tiancheng could not hide the nervousness in his heart. He was truly flustered and exasperated!

"Sigh!" Why don't you believe in your daughter? " Shang Yiqing sighed and ignored him, continuing to look at the furnishings in the palace.

Time passed second by second, Shang Yiqing was calm, but layer upon layer of cold sweat was pouring out of her head. Even though there was a chill in the spring, Shang Tiancheng was already sweating profusely.

About two hours later, a palace maid came out from the back hall. With a faint smile on her face, she spoke in a soft voice. "Empress Dowager invites Imperial Physician Shang and Lady Shang in."

Shang Yiqing's face broke into a smile. She glanced at his father and noticed that he was still wiping the sweat off his forehead. She was angry and amused at the same time. "Let's go, father. The esteemed wangfei wants us to go."

"God bless you, the Empress must be fine!" Shang Tiancheng prayed in his heart as he followed the palace maids into the back hall.

Empress Chen was still reclining on her bed. She had changed clothes and was still sweating, but when she saw Shang Yiqing, she couldn't help praising, "I didn't expect Lady Shang's medical skills to be so impressive. I didn't even take any medicine, I just had a hot bath and the fever has already passed."

After hearing the empress's words, Shang Tiancheng felt at ease. His expression also became calm as he stepped forward and bowed, "As long as the empress is well, that's good. I, this humble official, will open up another meridian for the empress and give his the medicinal formula to recuperate."

Empress Chen nodded slightly and extended her hand to allow Shang Tiancheng to take over. Her gaze scanned Shang Yiqing from head to toe, causing her to feel uncomfortable.

"The Empress's lucky stars shine brightly, and her pulse tends to become more gentle. This subject will just have to write you a prescription to make up for your loss." The Shang Tiancheng finished its pulse, and retreated a few steps.

"We'll have to trouble Imperial Physician Bai." Empress Chen had always been polite and didn't put on the airs of a queen, so Shang Yiqing had a favorable impression of her.

"Imperial Physician Shang, I really didn't expect your daughter to be so skilled in the medical arts. It looks like she's really been through with your teachings." Empress Chen's body was covered in sweat, her fever had subsided and she was much more comfortable.

"The Empress praises me too much!" Once Shang Tiancheng relaxed, the expression on his face relaxed a lot.

Empress Chen glanced at Shang Yiqing and asked carelessly, "How does Lady Shang explain this treatment?"

"Reporting to the Empress, this is called physiotherapy." Shang Yiqing answered proudly.

"What?" What kind of treatment? " Empress Chen was a little dumbfounded, she had never heard of such a strange method of treatment.

This is bad! She had revealed her true colors! Only then did Shang Yiqing realize that she had said something incomprehensible. She lowered her head and thought for a while before saying, "This is using the heat from the hot water to make me sweat. It's actually very simple."

"Although the logic is simple, not everyone can do it. Moreover, you don't even need to eat medicine to cure your illness. Lady Shang does indeed have her own uniqueness. I am very pleased, and I will definitely reward you well."

"Thank you for your kindness!" Shang Yiqing knelt down on the ground, feeling very happy. She was very interested in the treasures around her, the more the merrier.

"No need to stand on ceremony." Empress Chen ordered someone to hand over the bestowal before she casually asked Shang Tiancheng, "Imperial Physician Shang, does your daughter have a family?"

"In reply to the Empress, this humble subject's daughter has a mischievous nature and has not yet allowed me to do so." This was a sore point in Shang Tiancheng's heart. Seeing that his colleague's daughter, who was around the same age as him, had already been married off, yet no one was interested in her, it made her head hurt just thinking about it.

Empress Chen nodded her head and smiled, "Imperial Physician Shang, how can you say such things about your daughter? I really like her when I see how beautiful and refined she is, as well as how smart and intelligent she is! " What the empress said was the truth. She and the emperor had never had any children, so even though there were two princesses, she was not the one who gave birth to them. Moreover, those two princesses had long been married off.

"I am truly flattered by the Empress's kindness." Listening to the Empress's tone, Shang Tiancheng was filled with praise for his daughter. This greatly surprised Shang Tiancheng.

Empress Chen only nodded, her eyes shining with approval.

"Empress, you should rest well. This humble subject will not disturb your rest. This humble subject will take his leave." Shang Tiancheng also felt that it was time for him to take his leave. Thus, he stood up to bid farewell.

"Mm, you guys can go back." Empress Chen nodded slightly before instructing the palace maids by her side, "Send Imperial Physician Shang and his daughter out of the palace."

Shang Yiqing followed his father out of the palace before she laughed out loud. "Dad, look at how I said the empress will reward me. You don't believe in my medical skills all day, now do you?"

Shang Tiancheng stroked his beard as he laughed, "You were lucky today. If anything happened to the Empress today, we would have committed the crime of deceiving the Emperor. Even this old man would have been terrified by it."

Shang Yiqing stuck out her tongue, "That's because you're too cowardly! I said that if there's nothing wrong, then everything will definitely be fine. "

"No matter what, today you've cured the Empress's high fever and even received the Empress's praise. Father will be happy for you!" At this point, Shang Tiancheng looked at Shang Yiqing dotingly with a sense of comfort in her heart.

Shang Yiqing shook her head proudly, "It's hard for father to praise me so highly. I haven't lost any face for you today, have I?"

"Well, don't get cocky here. Let's hurry back to the manor. " After speaking, Shang Tiancheng stepped onto the sedan outside of the palace.

Shang Yiqing also smiled and sat on the other palanquin.

The sedan bearer lifted the sedan as he walked back. Shang Yiqing sat on the sedan, feeling secretly proud of herself. She had learned to care for patients in the first place. Using physiotherapy to treat patients was not difficult for her!
