After all the unrelated people left, only Emperor Jingxuan and Xiao Zhonghua were left in the imperial study.

Among Emperor Jing Xuan’s many sons, his eldest son, Xiao Duye, had the most real power—the Associate Imperial Guard, and his second son, Xiao Jinyan, had the highest official position. He was the imperial envoy of Youzhou, and his third son, Xiao Zhonghua, was not the most valued.

The reason why he arranged a marriage for him with the Qin family was that the Eldest Prince and the Second Prince were already married. He could not let the daughter of the Protector Duke be the Secondary Consort of the Prince with military power.

As for his younger brothers, it was either their mother’s family background was not good enough or they were too young to be suitable.

In the eyes of outsiders, Xiao Zhonghua knew how much Emperor Jing Xuan doted on him.

He would not think that his father liked him so much just because this marriage landed on him.

To put it bluntly, his father just had no choice.

Emperor Jing Xuan said, “Although it was an accident that something like this happened to Qin Yanran and your brother, you’ve suffered.”

Xiao Zhonghua said nothing.

If he were to say that he did not feel aggrieved at all, he would seem angry.

Xiao Zhonghua had already guessed what Emperor Jingxuan wanted to say to him.

If it was her—

Emperor Jing Xuan said calmly, “Your wedding date with the Qin family was originally scheduled for May. It’s already April…”

Xiao Zhonghua said seriously, “Father, she’s already married in the countryside. Father, do you want me to marry a married woman?”

Emperor Jing Xuan said indifferently, “If you have someone you like, just take her as your secondary consort.”

“Father…”

“Your Majesty! Your Majesty!”

Eunuch Quan walked over anxiously. “Something’s wrong! The Empress Dowager… fainted!”

Emperor Jing Xuan’s expression changed. “What!”

The Empress Dowager suddenly had an emergency and was unconscious. Many imperial physicians, led by Hu Jiusheng, gathered in Yongshou Palace to urgently discuss treatment plans.

Emperor Jing xuan entered the Empress Dowager’s bedroom with a dignified expression.

Looking at the withered Empress Dowager on the phoenix bed, Emperor Jing Xuan’s aura was extremely cold.

“What’s going on? Didn’t they say that the Empress Dowager has improved?” The imperial physicians fell silent.

Hu Jiusheng emboldened himself and cupped his hands. “Your Majesty, after I changed the prescription for the Empress Dowager, her illness has indeed improved…”

Emperor Jingxuan said in a low voice, “Then why did she suddenly faint?”

Hu Jiusheng was also puzzled, but he could not show it. Otherwise, people would doubt his medical skills.

He cupped his hands and said, “This… please allow me to take the Empress Dowager’s pulse carefully.”

Emperor Jingxuan suppressed the anger in his heart and agreed to Imperial Physician Hu’s request.

Hu Jiusheng took his pulse with a troubled expression.

“How is it?” Emperor Jingxuan asked.

Hu Jiusheng braced himself and said, “Empress Dowager… was overthinking…”

Emperor Jing Xuan’s voice darkened. “Overthinking again. Can’t you say anything else?! You’re the imperial physician. I called you here to ask you to treat the Empress Dowager’s illness, not to brush me off with a sentence!”

The emperor was abnormally agitated.

Imperial Physician Hu was really a little wronged.

In a few days, it would be the death anniversary of Prince of Nanyang. The Empress Dowager would usually fall ill at this time.

It was all because she missed the Prince of Nanyang.

As the saying went, it was a disease of the heart and mind. The Empress Dowager was indulging in the pain of losing her eldest son. What could they, as imperial physicians, do?

If one had to ask why she had survived in the past but could not be treated this time, it was because the Empress Dowager was aging and her body was not as strong as before. It would become more and more dangerous every year.
