"Indeed, if there really is a matter of life and death, Imperial Physician Cui would surely call us all in."
As they were speaking, the great door opened, and Imperial Physician Cui came out, his head covered in sweat.
He looked as if he had aged ten years.
The other imperial physicians hurriedly approached him and asked, "Is the Empress alright?"
Imperial Physician Cui shook his head and waved his hands, saying, "It's nothing, nothing."
If it's nothing, why do you look as though your mother has died?
"What actually happened?"
Imperial Physician Cui continued to shake his head, clearly indicating he would not speak of it.
There was nothing anyone could do, and they could only stop asking.
Since the Empress had not told them to leave, they could not go and just stood in the courtyard, continuing to gossip.
Meanwhile inside the palace, the Empress was weeping bitterly, and King Jin stood silently by her side, apparently still not recovered from the shock.
