Gu Jiao picked up the bottles and jars on the ground, stood up and looked at Eunuch Qin who was hurrying over, "Coming so late, did Grandaunt send Eunuch Qin to find me?"

Eunuch Qin said anxiously, "Ah, yes... No!"

Gu Jiao asked, "So which is it, yes or no?"

"Aiya!" Eunuch Qin pinched himself, "Look at this servant, unable to speak properly when anxious. It's like this Young Miss Gu, Empress Dowager ate some fish and a fish bone got stuck in her throat. It's stuck deep and the imperial physicians couldn't do anything, so I came to find you!"

"Okay, I'll go to the palace with you." Gu Jiao went to the east room, picked up her small medicine chest, and left with Eunuch Qin.

But before she could get on the carriage, another carriage stopped at the door of her house.

Eunuch Wei got off the carriage and was also looking anxious, "Young Miss Gu! Young Miss Gu!"

Gu Jiao said, "Eunuch Wei, are you also here to find me?"

Eunuch Wei said out of breath, "His Majesty... His Majesty wants Young Miss Gu to go to Huaqing Palace... Someone is injured!"

Eunuch Qin grabbed Gu Jiao's sleeve, "Young Miss Gu, you have to see the Empress Dowager first!"

"What happened to Empress Dowager?" Eunuch Wei asked but didn't wait for Eunuch Qin to answer as he grabbed Gu Jiao's other sleeve and said, "It's a matter of life and death, Young Miss Gu, come with this servant to Huaqing Palace first!"

Eunuch Qin said seriously, "Empress Dowager's situation is also a matter of life and death! She's coughing up blood!"

The main reason was that at first, Empress Dowager didn't take the fish bone seriously and used a home remedy to swallow a few mouthfuls of rice. As a result, she didn't swallow the fish bone but cut her throat instead.

Gu Jiao said to Eunuch Wei, "Getting the fish bone out is quick, I'll come as soon as I'm done."

Eunuch Wei raised his hand, "But..."

There was no but.

Gu Jiao got into Eunuch Qin's carriage.

Eunuch Qin breathed a sigh of relief and thought to himself, Empress Dowager didn't dote on Young Miss Gu for nothing!

However, someone was injured?

Who got hurt that made His Majesty so nervous?

The two made their way to the Renshou Palace.

Empress Dowager Zhuang was feeling very uncomfortable, she had something stuck in her throat and swallowing made it hurt just like a stabbing pain. Empress Dowager's phoenix body was very precious, so the imperial physicians didn't dare to blindly pry open her mouth.

Fortunately, Gu Jiao came, making all the imperial physicians feel relieved.

Gu Jiao opened her small medicine chest, put on a pair of gloves, and picked up a cold pair of forceps.

"Aijia doesn’t want it!" Empress Dowager Zhuang panicked at the sight of the forceps.

"It'll be quick, and it won't hurt at all." Gu Jiao coaxed.

"No, no! Aijia doesn’t want it!" Empress Dowager Zhuang refused with hostility.

Gu Jiao turned to the other people in the room and said, "Eunuch Qin, you all should leave."

"Don't go!" Empress Dowager Zhuang protested.

Eunuch Qin cleared his throat and led the imperial physicians and palace servants out.

Empress Dowager Zhuang: Am I no longer the Empress Dowager in your eyes? What happened to making people tremble with fear at the mention of my name?

She covered her mouth and jumped off the bed in a hurry.

Gu Jiao chased her all over the bedchamber.

The two of them went to play a game of cat and mouse.

Eunuch Qin watched the two figures projected on the window paper and shook his head. It was really a sight to behold.

In the end, Gu Jiao caught up with Empress Dowager Zhuang.

She covered her mouth tightly and said, "Aijia doesn’t want it!"

Gu Jiao coaxed, "Fine, I won't use it. But can I take a look?"

Empress Dowager Zhuang said, "Then, then give me this thing!"

Gu Jiao obediently gave her the forceps and said, "Open your mouth and let me take a look, and see if I can use medicine on it."

Empress Dowager Zhuang opened her mouth wide.

With a flash of silver light and a quick motion, Gu Jiao removed the fish bone from her patient's throat with another pair of tweezers.

Empress Dowager Zhuang: "..."

Gu Jiao said, "Alright, there's no major harm done, but you'll need to rest your throat for a while. Speak less, and eat only light foods." She then turned to the door and said, "Eunuch Qin, come in."

Eunuch Qin entered the room with a smile.

Empress Dowager Zhuang gave someone a cold stare!

Eunuch Qin shrunk his neck and hid behind Gu Jiao.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Eunuch Wei returned alone to the Huaqing Palace.

When the Emperor saw him returning alone, he was enraged, "What's going on? Where's the little miracle physician? Didn't Zhen tell you to bring her here no matter what?"

Eunuch Wei said hesitantly, "This servant went to invite her, but... the little miracle physician..."

The Emperor coldly interrupted, "Speak up! Don't beat around the bush!"

Eunuch Wei took a deep breath and said, "Empress Dowager is also ill. The little miracle physician was summoned away by Eunuch Qin."

The Emperor sneered and pounded his fist on the table, "Hasn't her cold been cured long ago? When Zhen gave her a peace charm earlier, she was still energetic. How did she suddenly get sick enough to need a physician? And aren’t there imperial physicians in the palace?"

Eunuch Wei hesitated, "That… This servant heard it was an accident, a fishbone got stuck in the Empress Dowager’s throat."

The Emperor's smile became more and more mocking, "Last time, she had a serious illness but refused to inform the little miracle physician. Now it’s just a fishbone stuck in her throat and she summoned the little miracle physician to the palace. Don’t you think it was intentional? Does she know something?"

"Your Majesty..." Eunuch Wei didn't know how to respond.

The Emperor clenched his fists and said, "Very well, since she's playing games like this, she shouldn't blame Zhen if Zhen plays harder!"

"Your Majesty! Young Miss Gu has arrived!" A young eunuch outside the door reported.
