"Is the Empress Dowager's illness really cured like this?" The Old Palace Maid expressed her doubts.
No wonder, the many Imperial Physicians at the Imperial Medical Institute were all helpless against the Empress Dowager's illness. Situtu Xueer just did a few needles and claimed the illness was cured; she naturally couldn't believe it.
Xuexue did not argue with her and said, "No matter what I say now, you won't believe it. We'll see the effect tomorrow."
Having said that, she sat on a bench nearby, leisurely sipping tea, waiting for the time it takes an incense stick to burn, before removing the needles from the Empress Dowager's head.
Xuexue's calm demeanor reassured the Old Palace Maid. If anything truly happened to the Empress Dowager, Madam Situ certainly couldn't escape blame. The fact that she was so composed meant the Empress Dowager would be fine.
"The Emperor is arriving!"
Suddenly, a sharp shout from a eunuch was heard from outside.
