Chapter 112: Chapter 112: This Prince Can Accompany Princess Consort Chu

"What urgent matter brings you to see us?" the Empress Dowager spoke indifferently.

Chu Nanli snapped back to reality, looked at the Empress Dowager, and summarized the situation briefly.

Then, she said, "Empress Yu has not yet awakened, Nanli wishes to treat Empress Yu once more and asks for a decree from the Empress Dowager to do so."

The Empress Dowager’s expression remained unchanged, "Isn’t Bai Wuheng present? If he cannot heal her, his title as Divine Doctor would be in vain."

Chu Nanli couldn’t help but sigh quietly upon hearing this.

The Empress Dowager was indeed angry with her for the nonsense she had spoken and for hiding her identity.

Consequently, she could only continue earnestly, "Everyone in the palace suspects that Empress Yu was harmed by Nanli, and Nanli wishes to prove my innocence. Furthermore, Nanli is also eager to understand why Empress Yu has fainted again, and implores the Empress Dowager to grant Nanli this opportunity."

"We have already helped you once," she said.

Chu Nanli’s lips tightened slightly, her expression grave.

"As it happens, I am currently unoccupied and can accompany Princess Consort Chu for a visit. Mother, what do you say?" the young man spoke slowly.

The Empress Dowager was taken aback.

Chu Nanli was shocked and looked at him.

Was this truly the former Regent King Ye Jiuxiao, the number one beauty of Xia Kingdom?

She had not expected him to be such a kind-hearted person.

The Empress Dowager’s probing gaze landed on Ye Jiuxiao.

She knew her youngest son had a good heart, but this was the first time he had gone against her orders.

With this thought, the Empress Dowager couldn’t help but turn her gaze towards Chu Nanli.

Upon seeing her, she became somewhat irritated.

At first, she was impressed by the young girl’s noble appearance and kind heart, and with her medical skills, she had wished to betroth her to her youngest son. However, when the young lady claimed she was a young widow, she reluctantly abandoned the idea.

But now, to suddenly encounter her in the palace, for the young widow to turn out to be her grandson’s wife, wasn’t it a joke?

The Empress Dowager held her breath in frustration, but seeing Ye Jiuxiao had spoken, she had no choice but to agree.

"Go ahead," she waved, eager to be rid of the sight.

Chu Nanli breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly expressed her thanks.

"Many thanks to the Empress Dowager, and many thanks to King Ye."

King Ye was Ye Jiuxiao’s current title.

"You’re welcome."

Ye Jiuxiao stood up and took the lead with a tall figure.

Chu Nanli quickly followed, walking briskly due to her concern for Empress Yu’s condition.

"Be careful," Ye Jiuxiao suddenly said.

Chu Nanli then realized she had nearly stumbled, expressed her thanks once more, and couldn’t help but take another glance at the man by her side as she turned her head.

Even though his eyes were veiled with a touch of indifference, it could not dilute the noble aura innate to his being.

"Is there something on my face?" Ye Jiuxiao raised an eyebrow.

Chu Nanli met his glaze-like eyes, felt her heartbeat slow for a moment, and quickly averted her gaze.

"No."

The two quickly returned to the main hall when they heard the Empress say, "Young Master Bai, it seems you will need to exert yourself."

Chu Nanli frowned.

At that moment, a voice sounded beside her.

"Wait."

Instantly, everyone turned to look towards the entrance of the great hall.

And then they gasped in surprise.

"Jiuxiao?" The Empress regained her wits and looked towards Chu Nanli beside him, "What is...?"

"It’s King Ye!"

"King Ye has actually come today!"

"But why is he with Princess Consort Chu?"

Ye Yunting’s complexion turned cold upon hearing these murmurings.

Ye Jiuxiao, with Chu Nanli in tow, entered calmly.

"I saw Princess Consort Chu at our mother’s and understood the situation, so I came over with Princess Consort Chu to see for myself." After speaking, he directly said to Chu Nanli, "Princess Consort Chu, go ahead."

Chu Nanli whispered a "thank you." Ignoring the varying expressions around her, she walked to Empress Yu’s side.

Bai Wuheng watched her with a cold face but said nothing due to Ye Jiuxiao’s status.

The Imperial Physician on duty heaved a sigh of relief. Seeing Chu Nanli taking Empress Yu’s pulse, he quickly said, "I just followed the set of acupuncture methods previously administered by the Princess Consort, which was quite effective, but my skills were not sufficient, and I failed to manipulate the needles properly."

His words implied that the method Chu Nanli had used to save someone before was the correct one.

Bai Wuheng’s expression changed again.

Lin Fuying, standing by Ye Yunting’s side, watched the scene with a gloomy face, her heartbeat erratic.

Damn it, why was Chu Nanli so lucky!
