Lu Zhou stroked his beard and remained silent.
Back then, Ji Tiandao had seen Emperor Yong Shou and the Empress Dowager in front of him.
With the passage of time, things remained the same, but people had changed.
Unexpectedly, the Empress Dowager was able to recognize some clues.
Who said that she was old and muddled?
However, none of this was important.
Lu Zhou waved his hand and said, "Those who have no business here are dismissed."
Many people who wanted to watch the show had no choice but to temporarily leave the hall.
Li Yunzhao, the Imperial physician, and Jiang Liang did not leave.
Jiang Aijian and Zhao Yue stayed in the great hall.
Lu Zhou looked at the Empress Dowager. Perhaps, it was due to the extraordinary power, he felt his mental state and eyesight were much better than before. He could see a faint purple gas rising from the Empress Dowager's body.
It was indeed witchcraft.
It was not a deadly witchcraft, but it would disturb people's minds and make them unable to sleep.
Ba Ma and Mo Li probably didn't dare to attack the Empress Dowager, so they just used this kind of small trick.
Lu Zhou remained silent.
Li Yunzhao said, "Hurry up and tell the old mister about the situation."
The imperial physician on the left kept trembling.
Even in the palace, they had never been to such an occasion. Seeing the old man before them, how could they not be afraid?
But he still said in a trembling voice, "Old … Old Mister … Empress Dowager, after returning to the palace from Obedient Villa, she often tossed and turned restlessly, unable to sleep at night …"
Before he could finish his sentence.
Lu Zhou raised his hand and said, "There's no need to explain anything to me. I already know the Empress Dowager's illness."
The moment he said that, the two imperial physicians looked at each other.
They represented the strongest medical skills of the royal family. Even though they were weaker in terms of cultivation, they were quite accomplished in terms of medical research. The Evil Sky Pavilion did not need to know about this disease that they had studied for so long? This … was a little too much of a blow.
Li Yunzhao bowed and asked, "Old Mister, do you have any good ideas?"
Lu Zhou stood up with his hands on his back and said, "I have a cure for the illness."
Upon hearing this, Li Yunzhao hastily bowed. "Please make your move, old mister!"
Zhao Yue bowed. "Master …"
Jiang Aijian said, "Old senior."
Lu Zhou said, "I have something to tell you, Empress Dowager."
When the Empress Dowager heard this, she was slightly taken aback. She raised her head, and her aged eyes fell on Lu Zhou, who was standing with his hands behind his back.
"Please speak, Old Mister."
Lu Zhou said, "I can get rid of the illness, but … the Empress Dowager's great limit is near. You must be mentally prepared."
"…"
The hall was dead silent.
If anyone dared to say such a thing in the palace, it would be considered treason, and they would be beheaded immediately.
The two imperial physicians lowered their heads at this moment. How could they not know?
Zhao Yue and Jiang Aijian's expressions changed slightly. They looked at the Empress Dowager in disbelief.
However, the Empress Dowager laughed heartily and waved her sleeves. "I was wondering what it was … Birth, old age, sickness, and death are all part of human nature. I will also die. It's no big deal."
Lu Zhou turned around and looked at the Empress Dowager. He wanted to say something, but in the end, he shook his head and said, "Forget it. I'll respect your decision. “
He waved his sleeves casually.
The two imperial physicians quickly retreated to the side.
At this moment, Lu Zhou raised his palm and struck.
Everyone's eyes widened as they watched this scene.
His heart was in his throat.
A faint blue power surged in Lu Zhou's palm.
Hu!
…
Meanwhile.
In a dark room.
Ba Ma's eyes snapped open. He frowned. "The witchcraft spell is broken?"
Apart from a hint of shock, there was no other expression on his face.
"Indeed, the Imperial family's methods are not to be underestimated … Mo Li, oh, Mo Li, you've been in the palace for so many years, and yet, you don't even know the Imperial family's trump card."
Ba Ma shook his head and sighed.
"However, don't worry … I'll make sure they're buried with you."
…
Lu Zhou's ability to break the witchcraft spell from a distance shocked the others.
The Empress Dowager grunted and frowned slightly.
The purple gas around her was instantly dispersed by the blue power.
Lu Zhou was not surprised at all.
The Heavenly Writing's extraordinary power was the bane of witchcraft. This was proven a long time ago.
Li Yunzhao hastily stepped forward to support the Empress Dowager's arm and said, "Empress Dowager, are you alright?"
"I … I'm fine." The Empress Dowager's eyes were closed. Her face was drenched in sweat, but her voice was weak.
The two imperial physicians stepped forward at once. They bent over and took turns checking the Empress Dowager's eight meridians.
After a series of examinations …
The imperial physician kneeled and said, "Congratulations, Empress Dowager … The witchcraft spell has been broken!"
Lu Zhou stroked his beard. His expression was calm.
'If I can't break this little witchcraft spell, where should I put my old face?'
He did not even look at the Empress Dowager as he said, "Li Yunzhao."
At this moment, Li Yunzhao's respect for Lu Zhou seemed to have risen to a whole new level. He hastily said, "Your orders, old mister?"
"The Empress Dowager has just recovered from her illness. Rest in the southern pavilion and return tomorrow," Lu Zhou said.
"That's good, that's good! Thank you, old mister … "
Li Yunzhao fell to his knees. He placed his palms forward and touched his forehead to the ground.
Jiang Liang and the two imperial physicians were inwardly shocked when they saw this.
Although Li Yunzhao was only a personal eunuch, his status was not insignificant. Even when he met the Crown Prince, he did not show such great respect.
Lu Zhou merely glanced at him before he waved his hand, gesturing for him to leave.
Li Yunzhao and the imperial physicians supported the Empress Dowager out of the great hall.
Under Zhao Yue's arrangements.
She stayed in the southern pavilion.
It was almost evening.
Inside the southern pavilion.
Li Yunzhao stood respectfully by the bed.
He looked at the Empress Dowager, whose complexion had improved, and said, "Empress Dowager, you look much better than you did this morning."
The Empress Dowager leaned against the headboard and said, "It's all thanks to Zhao Yue …"
"Princess Zhao Yue has returned to the Imperial family. There's no need for you to blame yourself, Empress Dowager," Li Yunzhao said.
"Little Li."
The Empress Dowager paused for a moment before she said, "Bring me what I brought."
Li Yunzhao was slightly taken aback. He shook his head helplessly. He took out a brocade box from the box he brought with him. He held it with both palms and presented it to the Empress Dowager. "Empress Dowager, this is your longevity pill … Do you really want to do this?"
The Empress Dowager sighed and said, "Many people in this world seek longevity. Longevity … including Emperor Yong Shou … However, I feel that it's a blessing to let nature take its course."
"I understand." Li Yunzhao bowed.
"When my time is up, bury me with Emperor Yong Shou … I'll be content with that," the Empress Dowager said.
Li Yunzhao shook his head and remained silent.
The Empress Dowager handed the brocade box to Li Yunzhao and said, "Give this to you, old mister. Consider it a token of appreciation for your help."
"Understood."
"Summon Zhao Yue when you go out. I'd like to have a chat with her."
"Understood."
Li Yunzhao left the room.
…
Inside the eastern pavilion.
Under Mingshi Yin's lead, Li Yunzhao arrived at the eastern pavilion.
Li Yunzhao presented the brocade box with both hands and said with a bow, "I'm here to thank you, old mister. The Empress Dowager has ordered me to present this to the Evil Sky Pavilion. I hope you'll accept it, old mister."
Mingshi Yin said, "Master, this is a longevity pill."
