"Dundun! Have you been feeling better these past days?" The Empress Dowager looked at the Emperor lying on the dragon bed, her face full of affection.
"Much better already. Today, I even asked Pang Chu to bring the memorials for me to review. It's been several days since I attended court, and if I don't appear soon, I fear those courtiers will start to suspect again."
The Emperor sighed; although the poison was temporarily suppressed, he clearly felt his body was much weaker than before, his energy nowhere near as vigorous as before.
"Those vile servants have already been taken care of. Too much time has passed, making it not easy to investigate this poisoning. However, the person responsible must be caught; otherwise, if they can harm you once, they can harm you a second time."
