Very soon, they were summoned into the Empress Dowager's palace. Stripping away their false facades, the Nanzhao Emperor dismissed the palace attendants with a wave of his hand before speaking the truth to them.
"I apologize for any inconvenience caused to avoid unnecessary trouble."
What else could be said?
After all, it was their own impatience that led to this. Gu Youyou smiled faintly and replied, "A healer's duty is to save lives. There is no talk of inconvenience. Your Majesty is too kind."
Searcy's disdain for Gu Youyou grew yet again, feeling that she was becoming increasingly hypocritical.
Clearly, she cared a lot, yet she spoke as if she were above it all.
"And who is this?" The Nanzhao Emperor looked at Searcy in surprise.
Gu Youyou replied, "She is also a doctor, my assistant."
The Nanzhao Emperor: "..." Do doctors now require assistants too?
"Crown Prince, please wait outside for a moment. The two doctors may come in to treat the Empress Dowager."
