Ye Shuangshuang once again saw the Emperor and Empress, both wearing expressions of calmness, as if nothing had happened before. Truly, they were the Emperor and Empress, possessing the remarkable ability to remain unruffled amidst chaos.
In the following days, apart from administering acupuncture and regularly checking the Emperor's pulse to assess his recovery, Ye Shuangshuang kept a low profile outside, avoiding involvement in the Emperor and Empress Dowager's conflict.
The process of expelling the poison was very slow. It took Ye Shuangshuang a full month to completely cleanse the Emperor's body of the toxins. However, the Emperor inevitably weakened physically.
Next was the long period of recuperation. To prevent any mishap in the Emperor's health, Ye Shuangshuang decided to stay in the Capital City for a while to focus on nursing the Emperor back to health.
