Yongshou Palace.
The bedroom was filled with a strong medicinal fragrance. The Empress Dowager sat at the head of the bed with a pale face. The thin blanket covered her waist and abdomen.
Emperor Jingxuan stood by the bed with a solemn expression.
Court Commissioner Hu carefully checked the Empress Dowager's pulse and stood up.
Emperor Jing Xuan asked, "How is it?"
Court Commissioner Hu replied respectfully, "From her pulse, the Empress Dowager's vital energy and blood are both deficient. Coupled with her heavy worries and overthinking, she was also frightened by the wind a while ago, so she fell sick."
"You've been saying these things for a few days, and I'm already tired of hearing them. I just want to know when the Empress Dowager's illness will improve."
