Zhao Junyao's expression tightened.
"What's wrong with the Empress Dowager?"
The Imperial Physician said, "The Empress Dowager's complexion is pale, and she is unconscious. It seems to be due to extreme anger causing phlegm to cloud her mind!"
"Is it serious?"
After all, she was his mother; Zhao Junyao couldn't help but be concerned!
Thinking for a moment, the Imperial Physician quickly said, "Your Majesty, forgive me, I truly cannot be certain. We need to administer a dose of medicine and observe her reaction before we can say more!"
So, it was quite serious, then?
Zhao Junyao's brows furrowed even more.
His gaze swept around the room. All the women were bowing their heads, each face filled with worry. Some with better acting skills were nearly at the point of taking out handkerchiefs to wipe their tears!
Xia Ruqing also stood among them with her head lowered, not uttering a word.
No one dared to breathe too loudly, and the atmosphere was somewhat awkward.
