"Your Majesty!" Eunuch Wei pulled up the bright yellow curtain and hung it onto the canopy hook. He then said to the Emperor, "Your Majesty, you fainted while reviewing the memorandums just now. It scared this servant to death."

The Emperor rubbed his chest with lingering fear.

Eunuch Wei looked at the Emperor with a complex expression and asked, "Your Majesty, did you have another nightmare?"

The Emperor replied casually, "Zhen is fine. What time is it now? Is it time to go to the morning court?"

Where did he look fine? He was clearly drenched in cold sweat all over.

Eunuch Wei said with concern, "Your Majesty, you cannot continue to torment your dragon body like this. The imperial physician said your vitality is greatly depleted, and you should rest more. You don't need to worry about the morning court."

"No... Cough, cough!" The Emperor's words were interrupted by a violent coughing fit.

"Where is the medicine? Is it ready?" Eunuch Wei urged the young eunuch in the room.

The young eunuch hurriedly replied, "This servant will go check immediately!"

"The medicine is here!"

Along with a familiar voice, a steaming bowl of medicinal soup was presented to the Emperor.

The Emperor coughed violently and reached out to take the medicine. But when he saw the hand holding the bowl, his body suddenly froze.

He followed that hand and looked at the person's face. The caring expression on that face matched exactly with the one from his dream.

The dark liquid in the bowl seemed to move slightly.

The Emperor's face turned pale, and just like in the dream, he knocked over the bowl!

The scalding hot soup splashed all over Imperial Concubine Dowager Jing, causing her to cry out in pain. The back of her hand and wrist also turned red instantly.

"Imperial Concubine Dowager——" Grannie Cai exclaimed in shock!

The Emperor quickly jumped off the bed, as if avoiding a plague, and retreated to a distance of at least ten steps away from Imperial Concubine Dowager Jing.

Imperial Concubine Dowager Jing covered her swollen hand and looked at the Emperor, her eyes filled with hurt, "Your Majesty, it's me..."

The Emperor couldn't distinguish between reality and the dream for a moment. He gasped for breath, his expression filled with fear and caution as he looked at Imperial Concubine Dowager Jing.

Eunuch Wei was dumbfounded by this scene. What was happening? Why was the Emperor suddenly reacting this way towards the imperial concubine dowager?

"Your Majesty..." Eunuch Wei approached cautiously.

Imperial Concubine Dowager Jing also stood up and walked towards the Emperor with reddened eyes.

"Don't let her come closer!" The Emperor shouted.

Eunuch Wei and the palace maids and eunuchs in the room looked at one another, all confused about what was happening.

Just then, Eunuch Qin's voice came from outside the room, announcing, "Empress Dowager has arrived——"

The palace servants all kneeled down in a rush.

Eunuch Wei also quickly knelt down.

When Empress Dowager Zhuang, who was dressed in a phoenix robe, majestically entered the bedchamber in the Huaqing Palace, the Emperor almost instinctively rushed towards her, "Imperial mother... Save me..."

He threw himself into Empress Dowager Zhuang's arms in front of everyone.

Empress Dowager Zhuang was almost knocked over by him!

He was already so old, why was this guy still messing around like this?!

Did he think he was Little Jing Kong or something? Did he not know what his own image in people's mind was?

Empress Dowager Zhuang raised a finger and pressed it against the Emperor's forehead, pushing him away from her embrace, but the Emperor clung tightly to her, refusing to let go. "Imperial mother... Imperial mother..."

Empress Dowager Zhuang rolled her eyes in disgust.

Watching this scene, Imperial Concubine Dowager Jing slightly clenched her fingers.

No one dared to come forward and pull the Emperor away. Empress Dowager Zhuang couldn't push him away either, so she ended up being hugged by the Emperor for a long time.

Perhaps it was because Empress Dowager Zhuang emitted a comforting aura that the Emperor gradually calmed his emotions. The fear in his heart gradually dissipated, and he began to regain his senses.

He finally realized what he had just done. He abruptly let go of Empress Dowager Zhuang and took several steps back, only to lose his balance and fall on the ground. Fortunately, Eunuch Wei acted quickly and supported him in time.

In a disheveled state, he grabbed Eunuch Wei's hand to help himself up, feeling embarrassed and utterly ashamed.

He couldn’t believe he held this poisonous and vicious woman and called her ‘imperial mother’!

Empress Dowager Zhuang looked at him with contempt and said, "What kind of madness is the Emperor having this morning?"

The Emperor choked hard.

Indeed, she was a poisonous woman, speaking so venomously!

He must have been insane to throw himself into the arms of this poisonous woman!

What a disgrace!

Imperial Concubine Dowager Jing, feeling sad and worried, explained, "His Majesty was frightened by his nightmare. He didn't scare the Empress Dowager, did he?"

Eunuch Wei frowned. How did the imperial concubine dowager know that the Emperor had a nightmare?

Empress Dowager Zhuang glanced at the Emperor disdainfully, "Scared? No, I was disgusted."

The Emperor gritted his teeth in anger!

"Your Majesty, are you alright now?" Imperial Concubine Dowager Jing anxiously asked.

The Emperor had regained his composure by now. Naturally, he would no longer confuse reality with dreams. He looked at Imperial Concubine Dowager Jing's reddened hand and felt guilty in his heart. He walked over and said, "It's Zhen’s fault that imperial concubine mother is injured."

Imperial Concubine Dowager Jing shook her head, "It's just a minor injury, it's nothing compared to Your Majesty's health. It's not worth mentioning."

As she spoke, she looked at Grannie Cai and said, "The Emperor's medicine spilled. Go and bring a new bowl of it, but make sure it's not too hot this time."

"Yes." Grannie Cai replied.

Eunuch Wei thought for a moment and said, "This servant shall go instead."

"That's fine too." Imperial Concubine Dowager Jing nodded her head.

Eunuch Wei personally brought the medicine over.

"Let me do it." Imperial Concubine Dowager Jing said.

Eunuch Wei thought to himself that he had brought this bowl of medicine, and it was prepared in Huaqing Palace, so it shouldn't be a problem since it wasn't from the outside.

Moreover, he handed it to imperial concubine dowager personally, so no one had a chance to tamper with it.

Imperial Concubine Dowager Jing helped the Emperor onto the dragon couch and made him sit comfortably against the cushion.

Eunuch Wei handed the medicine to Imperial Concubine Dowager Jing.

Imperial Concubine Dowager Jing calmly took the bowl of medicine and stirred it with a spoon.

The Emperor said, "Zhen can do it myself."

"It’s okay, let me do it."

Imperial Concubine Dowager Jing smiled and scooped a spoonful of the medicinal soup, feeding it to the Emperor’s mouth.

In fact, the Emperor didn't really want Imperial Concubine Dowager Jing to feed him the medicine, but he had embarrassed her in front of so many people. If he refused now, everyone in the palace would probably perceive it as him rejecting Imperial Concubine Dowager Jing.

He sighed helplessly and opened his mouth to drink.

Suddenly, Empress Dowager Zhuang opened her mouth, "Wait!"
