“Yes, Doctor Gu, don’t worry. This old servant will go to the Imperial Academy of Medicine to get the medicine.” Nanny Bi Zhu bowed to Gu Qingxue, then left with the prescription.
Meanwhile, Gu Qingxue took out a bottle of medicine from her medicine box. She poured out a pill and placed it in the empress dowager’s mouth. Then, she gave the empress dowager two sips of the ginseng soup and swallowed the pill.
“Empress dowager, this is a medicine to stop pain. Although it can’t treat wind diseases, it has a great effect of relieving pain. Take it first and your body will quickly improve,” Gu Qingxue instructed softly.
The empress dowager took the medicine and her lips immediately curved into a smile. “Doctor Gu, you’re really amazing. I have seen so many famous doctors, but not a single one can cure this widow. Are you sure you can?”
Gu Qingxues attitude was gentle and humble. don’t worry, empress dowager. As long as you cooperate with the treatment, this lowly subject has absolute confidence that I can cure your hesitance.
At this moment, the voice of a palace maid came from outside the door, “This servant greets Your Majesty.”
Gu Qingxue and the empress dowager both cast their gazes outside the door and saw Rong Xiaotian in his dragon robe. He stepped over the threshold and entered.
Rong Xiaotian smiled helplessly, “I originally wanted to sneak in to avoid disturbing mother, but I did not think that I would attract your attention.”
“If the emperor is here, he should have sent someone to inform us.” The empress dowager looked at Rong Xiaotian with a smile. Her expression was no longer as painful as before. “I’ve taken the medicine that Xue’er gave me. I’m feeling much better. My head doesn’t hurt as much anymore.”
After Rong Xiaotian sat down, he looked at Gu Qingxue with admiration. “Doctor Gu’s medical skills are indeed superb. These few days, I’ve been under her care and taking the pills she gave me. I feel refreshed, as if I’ve become ten years younger. Mother, don’t worry, Doctor Gu never makes empty promises.
Since she said she can do it, she won’t let you down.”
Gu Qingxue lowered her head and said respectfully, “Many thanks for Your
Majesty’s praise, this lowly subject does not deserve it.”
Rong Xiaotian waved his hand and said with a serious face, “Miss Gu, you don’t have to be so polite. If this one says you can do it, then you can. You don’t have to be so formal, let’s sit down and chat.”
Gu Qingxue had no choice but to obey, so she obediently nodded.
Under the effect of the painkiller, the empress dowager’s condition had greatly improved. With the help of the palace maids, she sat up with a soft cushion under her body. She looked at Rong Xiaotian and asked, ” Emperor, you’ve just finished the morning court session, and you’ve already rushed over?
“Yes, your son was concerned about your body, so I hurried over to take a look. However, since Doctor Gu is here, I can rest assured. Doctor Gu, I’ve already finished the medicinal pills you gave me earlier. I wonder if you’ve made new ones?” Rong Xiaotian asked expectantly.
Speaking of the pills that Gu Qingxue had made, Rong Xiaotian i s entire being perked up.
In fact, when he had first consumed the pill Gu Qingxue had given him, Rong Xiaotian had been rather skeptical.
After all, the so-called eternal life sounded like a fantasy.
He had been searching for it for so many years, but he had not made any progress.
Only Gu Qingxue’s medicine made him feel a change in his body in the truest sense. His entire person became younger.
This feeling was unprecedented, and it also made Rong Xiaotian’s suspicions of Gu Qingxue disappear..
