Chapter 555 - 557 I’m Busy
Noble Consort Pin pondered upon hearing the palace maid’s words. She too had heard a bit about The Emperor being suddenly taken ill a few days ago and the urgent decree calling for the Imperial Physicians.
However, she did not know the specifics, and the tight-lipped group at the Imperial Medical Bureau simply refused to disclose any information.
"What else have you found out?" Noble Consort Pin’s expression turned solemn in an instant.
The palace maid immediately bowed her head and answered, "That female doctor is very tight-lipped, unwilling to say anything. These words were hard won by Nubi’s relentless efforts to coax them out."
Noble Consort Pin immediately changed her demeanor, stood up, and walked forward to help the maid up, speaking gently, "You’ve done well. This time, you have my gratitude!"
A glint of joy flashed in the eyes of the palace maid as she lowered her head and respectfully replied, "Your Highness is too kind. This servant is merely fulfilling her duties wholeheartedly."
"That’s enough, it’s getting late. You may leave now," Noble Consort Pin waved her hand, and the dutiful maid left after performing a curtsey.
Once the palace maid had left, Noble Consort Pin sat back down, her expression turning cold.
The Emperor’s sudden illness, and the fact that the presiding officer of the Imperial Medical Bureau and several Imperial Physicians were all summoned, implied that The Emperor’s condition was very serious.
Normally, if The Emperor had health issues, she would certainly be prevented from visiting, but this time, The Emperor forbade anyone from the imperial harem to visit him.
She had already guessed seven or eight points of the reason behind this; it was possible that The Emperor was truly in critical condition, and there was a high probability that he had already passed away.
If the Emperor were to pass away and a new sovereign ascended to the throne, it would no doubt be a disaster for her.
