When she checked Nie Jun’s pulse, Su Ying was certain that Nie Jun had appendicitis, and it was already quite serious. Before the operation, she brought him into the interspatial store to do a more detailed examination to avoid any mistakes during the operation.

After the body examination, Su Ying brought him out again.

The surgery entailed cutting a person’s body. Nie Jun had family members, so she still needed their consent for this operation. She didn’t want her good intentions to attract unnecessary trouble.

Not long after they came out, Madam Pang arrived.

Madam Pang rushed into the room. Without even looking at Su Ying, she immediately took out the talisman water that she had prepared earlier and fed it to Nie Jun.

Su Ying, who was standing by the side, caught Madam Pang’s hand. “What did you feed the child?”

Su Ying gripped Madam Pang’s hand so tightly that it hurt. Madam Pang said somewhat angrily, “Of course it’s something good that can cure my son’s illness!” With that, she pushed Su Ying’s hand away and poured the talisman water into Nie Jun’s mouth.

Su Ying saw that the corners of Nie Jun’s mouth became pitch-black after drinking the talisman water, and she frowned deeply. “What exactly is it?”

After making sure Nie Jun had drunk the talisman water, Madam Pang also relaxed. She then raised her head to look at Su Ying. She stood up and bowed politely. “Greetings, Your Imperial Highness. Just now, I was worried about my child and so forgot my manners. I beg Your Imperial Highness to forgive me. Thank you for your concern for Jun’er. This child has yet to recover from his illness, yet he insists on entering the palace to accompany the First Prince in his studies. No matter how I try to persuade him, he won’t listen. I’ve really caused Your Imperial Highness trouble.”

“Didn’t you hear what I said just now?” Su Ying’s tone had already turned ominous.

Madam Pang frowned discreetly. She thought that Su Ying was truly overbearing. “Your Imperial Highness, this is the secret recipe of my maiden family. After taking it, Jun’er will recover.”

“How many times have you fed him?”

“Your Imperial Highness, I have fed him a few times.”

“Then why hasn’t he recovered yet?”

Madam Pang choked instantly and could not answer immediately. “The child is not feeling well and is not in a condition to continue his lessons now. I will bring the child back first and not cause trouble for Your Imperial Highness.”

Madam Pang summoned the maidservant in to carry Nie Jun.

Su Ying didn’t stop her. After all, this child wasn’t her son.

“I will take my leave.”

As Madam Pang turned around, Su Ying’s icy voice rang out from behind her. “I don’t care what you fed your son, but your son’s current condition is extremely dangerous. If the necrotic intestines are not removed in time, his life will be in danger. You’d better wise up before it’s too late.”

Madam Pang was very angry when she heard this. This woman was clearly cursing her son!

If it wasn’t for the fact that she was the Empress, Madam Pang would have slapped her!

Madam Pang took a deep breath and suppressed her anger. “Thank you for your concern, Your Imperial Highness. But don’t worry, Your Imperial Highness. Jun’er will definitely be fine!”

After saying that, she left with Nie Jun without looking back.

Imperial Physician Ma, who was waiting outside, frowned when he saw this. He now suspected that Madam Pang did not give Nie Jun medicine on time as instructed. Otherwise, how could the child’s condition deteriorate to this extent?

“Imperial Physician Ma, go back first. In the future, when the people from the General’s Residence come looking for you, just turn them away.”

“Yes, I understand,” Imperial Physician Ma said gratefully.

After classes were over and they had returned to the Conjugal Phoenix Palace, the two little fellows rushed up to Su Ying.

“Mother, is Nie Jun sick?” Ji asked with concern.

Su Ying nodded. “Mm-hmm. He’s sick.”

“Then can Mother cure him?” In Ling’s heart, Su Ying was an omnipotent existence.

Su Ying patted Ling’s tiny head and said, “His mother has already brought him back. No need for me to treat him.”

Ling could not understand why Nie Jun’s mother would not let her mother treat Nie Jun when her mother was so powerful.

“Then… will he recover? Will he be able to come back to class soon?”

Su Ying lowered her eyes slightly. If Nie Jun didn’t undergo surgery in time, he might very well develop a serious internal infection. It would be difficult for him to recover at that point.

“Perhaps.”

Ling did not understand some things, but Ji did. “Alright, Ling. Nie Jun’s family must be the most anxious when he’s sick. Let’s not think too much about it.” His father had said that a ruler should not get too emotionally involved. Even if he was very worried about Nie Jun, he should not push himself to go beyond his ability in matters that did not fall within his scope. Otherwise, it would only bring disaster to himself.

At night, Xiao Jin held Su Ying in his arms. His fingertips were occasionally caressing her soft flesh which was most irresistible to him.

“I’m sleepy.” Su Ying grabbed his hand and flipped over, plunging her entire body into his embrace.

“Did you send someone to look for Old Mistress Nie?” Xiao Jin’s voice sounded particularly deep in the darkness.

Su Ying gave a faint acknowledgment. She was merely using Imperial Physician Ma’s name to get someone to explain Nie Jun’s situation to the Old Mistress. Surely a normal person must exist in the General’s Residence.

“I was soft-hearted.”

Su Ying raised her head slightly and inhaled the scent on his body. Her body and mind felt relaxed at once. “Ji is always talking about him. It will be a pity if he’s gone.”

Su Ying felt that she had truly become kind-hearted. On the surface, she didn’t want to go against Madam Pang, so she would just let someone who could better deal with that woman do it.

“Mm-hmm. You are beautiful and kind-hearted. You are truly my good empress.”

“You are tall and strong, with good stamina. You are truly my good emperor.”

A dark glint flashed across Xiao Jin’s eyes. “That stamina is the result of daily training. I can’t stop training. I must continue tonight.”

Su Ying was utterly speechless.

After Madam Pang brought Nie Jun out of the palace, the look of anguish on Nie Jun’s face gradually faded, but the high fever on his body did not subside.

“Go to Trinity Breeze. I want to see the Great Immortal White Lotus.”

“Yes, Mistress.”

Trinity Breeze was the place where the Great Immortal White Lotus was worshiped. That place was a rebuilt Taoist temple.

However, it was far from the main arterial road of the capital city and was in a remote place near the suburbs. However, because the Great Immortal White Lotus received abundant incense offerings, many people came here every day.

When Madam Pang and her group arrived at Trinity Breeze, the area outside the entrance was already parked full of horse carriages. The Great Immortal White Lotus’s reputation was well known, and many people came to request a meeting.

A servant from the General’s Residence knocked on the gate with an invitation.

Before long, the courtyard gate was opened.

A young Taoist priest in a gray Taoist robe walked out. “What can I do for you, benefactor?”

“Kind priest, I’m from General Zhenbei’s Residence. Our Mistress needs to see the Great Immortal White Lotus urgently. Please help us convey our request.”

The young Taoist priest looked at the silver notes sandwiched in the invitation card and closed the card. “Benefactor, please wait a moment.”

After waiting for about an hour, the young Taoist priest emerged again.

“Benefactor, the Great Immortal invites you in.”

Upon hearing that the Great Immortal White Lotus was willing to see them, the servant hurriedly went to inform Madam Pang.

Madam Pang couldn’t wait any longer and told the servant to bring Nie Jun along.

They were brought to a room in the back courtyard by the young Taoist priest. Spirals of incense smoke wafted in the room. As soon as they entered, they felt a breeze blowing against their faces, making them feel refreshed.

This made Madam Pang feel that this wasn’t the wind but the divine aura of the Great Immortal White Lotus.

“Greetings, Great Immortal White Lotus.” Madam Pang looked at the Great Immortal White Lotus who was sitting upright on the praying mat and knelt down before her with a devout expression.

The Great Immortal White Lotus had a benevolent expression on her face, and her entire body was emitting an immortal aura. “What do you seek, benefactor?”

Madam Pang told the servant to carry Nie Jun over upon hearing that.

Great Immortal White Lotus’s gaze quickly swept across Nie Jun’s body.

Madam Pang pleaded, “Great Immortal White Lotus, my son fell seriously ill a few days ago, and now he has even become unconscious. Although these few days I have been giving him water with the talisman paper from Great Immortal White Lotus to alleviate his pain, this child’s illness is very deep-seated and hasn’t been fully cured up till now. Please save him, Great Immortal..’1
