Only after two shichen did Xia Weibao finally wake up groggily.
As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw the man sitting by the bed with a worried look on his face.
"Awake? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere."
Xia Weibao opened her mouth and realized her throat was terribly sore, unsure if it was from choking on water.
Seeing her trying to speak but unable to, Lu Hualiang assumed she was mute and turned his head in panic, "Imperial physician!"
The imperial physician, who had been waiting outside the hall, rushed in hurriedly with a bent posture. Xia Weibao really wanted to slap the man on the head!
She merely wanted a sip of water; was there any need to call the imperial physician?
With Lu Liangliang making a fuss out of nothing, the imperial physician could only brace himself to take her pulse once, "Your Majesty, Her Majesty the Empress is no longer in serious condition, just a bit weak from prolonged oxygen deprivation."
