Chapter 633 - 644 Seeing a Doctor
Recalling her old master from days long past, the Empress Dowager couldn’t help but feel sorrowful once more.
In those days, she was just a servant girl attending to a young lady. When the young lady entered the palace, she followed suit, never expecting the unpredictable nature of life; the young lady passed away early, and she ended up protecting the master’s son as he grew up, eventually becoming the Empress Dowager herself.
It was precisely because of her loyalty that she exchanged it for a lifetime of glory and honor.
The Empress hurriedly said, "Mother, take care of yourself, and don’t think about those heartbreaking matters anymore. The Emperor knows to be concerned about you."
The Empress Dowager said, "The Emperor has always been filial, but unfortunately, Empress Dowager Xiaoci couldn’t enjoy such fortune. Enough, let’s not talk about this anymore. Doctor Gu, come and examine me."
Gu Youyou acknowledged the order and then approached the Empress Dowager’s couch to examine her legs.
As they brought out the Empress Dowager’s leg, Gu Youyou couldn’t help but frown.
Her leg was afflicted with a very severe case of chronic rheumatism, having already become deformed.
