Chapter 671: Salvage
After giving the order, Nolan Deye felt somewhat relieved. Then he looked at Zhong Niangyao and asked directly, "State Preceptor, when will my mother wake up?"
"Very soon," Zhong Niangyao replied flatly. "I’ll go in and treat the Empress Dowager in a moment. She will wake up soon. However, the result will be the same as what the Imperial Physician said. This is the Empress Dowager’s ordeal, which no one can reverse."
After sighing, Nolan Deye said respectfully, "Then I’ll have to trouble the State Preceptor."
This time, the Imperial Physician didn’t follow inside; only Zhong Niangyao went in.
Entering the inner chamber once more, Zhong Niangyao casually waved her hand, and a small white light fell directly onto the Empress Dowager.
Moments later, the Empress Dowager’s eyelids moved and then opened her eyes.
The Empress Dowager had never imagined that the first person she would see upon waking up would be Zhong Niangyao. Annoyed, she intended to scold her, but then she discovered something that filled her with fear: she couldn’t feel anything below her waist.
"What’s happened to me?" the Empress Dowager’s voice trembled.
"You’ve had a stroke," Zhong Niangyao explained calmly from the side. "You won’t be able to walk anymore. Moreover, after this ordeal, your body has greatly suffered; you will need to rest in bed from now on."
Upon hearing Zhong Niangyao’s words, the Empress Dowager understood everything. All of it indicated that she was now incapacitated.
