By this time, the Empress Dowager had also arrived, and upon hearing the Emperor's words, she asked anxiously, "Your Majesty, what has happened to the Crown Prince?" It was so serious that they had to resort to posting a royal edict to seek ginseng.
The Emperor sighed, waved his hand, and with a grim face, said, "You tell her."
The collective court physicians from the Imperial Medical Bureau glanced at each other, and one of them began to shakily describe Yun Chi's spent and extinguished pulse. Physician Sun added that a five-hundred-year-old ginseng might be worth a try.
The Empress Dowager's body swayed, darkness clouding her vision from the shock, and she immediately swooned.
A collective gasp emitted from mamas and palace maids alike as they hurried to support the Empress Dowager.
