Director Xiao and his team quickly provided an answer to the two. This time, four imperial doctors consulted together. After thoroughly examining the emperor, they gravely informed the empress, "His Majesty's old injuries have flared up again."
The emperor managed a bitter smile and said, "No wonder I feel my lower back burning with pain; turns out it's my old injuries acting up again."
Director Xiao, while discussing the prescription with others, quietly suggested to the empress, "Your Highness, perhaps it would be best to consult Manbao to see if she can use acupuncture to reduce His Majesty's fever."
He added, "With His Majesty's old injuries acting up, many medications cannot be used."
The empress nodded and looked at Aunt Shang.
Aunt Shang bowed and retreated, soon found the palace maid, and asked, "Has Lord Zhou Junior arrived at the Daming Palace?"
"No, she hasn't arrived yet. Normally, she comes around lunchtime."
It was still morning.
