Princess Xiangsi - Chapter 136
Qingyun hesitated for a moment, but when she saw the Empress Dowager's weak face but her eyes filled with longing, her heart softened. She bit her lower lip and nodded.
At this moment, the Empress Dowager looked at Situ Xingyun.
Situ Xingyun nodded and said, "I will. Mother, rest assured, I will make sure the world knows that Die'er is our Fengxi princess."
The Empress Dowager breathed a long sigh of relief after receiving Situ Xingyun's approval.
"Cough cough...cough cough...too...too good...too good...cough cough...cough cough..." The Empress Dowager suddenly coughed violently, and abruptly, she spat out a mouthful of blood, the bright red blood staining the snow-white sheets, a shocking sight.
"Mother..."
"Your Majesty the Empress Dowager..."
Everyone cheered.
Suddenly, Qingyun exclaimed, "Life-Extending Pill!" Her eyes lit up, and she cried out joyfully, "The Divine Physician Li Ge has a Life-Extending Pill!"
Everyone couldn't help but feel a surge of joy.
Just then, a refreshing voice, as if carrying the scent of summer, resounded throughout the palace.
"Woman, you're looking for me?"

Qingyun trembled, and her face immediately showed an expression of ecstatic joy.
As soon as he finished speaking, a white figure gracefully descended from the sky.
Everyone gasped for breath.
Dressed in white, with jet-black hair, a face as handsome as jade, eyes as bright as stars, and a voice as melodious as heavenly music, she descended gracefully, like a banished immortal.
"Li Ge!" Qingyun called out, her eyes filled with tenderness.
At that moment, everyone suddenly realized. It was the divine healer, Li Ge.
Situ Xingyun's pupils suddenly contracted. He suddenly remembered what Jun Wuhen had said.
"She won't love you either. Since you know she's Qingyun, you should know who's associated with her. Even if she doesn't love me, you should know she hates you."
So this is the legendary divine physician Li Ge. His appearance is astonishingly beautiful, and his demeanor is otherworldly. He exudes an extraordinary and refined aura in every gesture.
Li Ge is so outstanding.
Suddenly, a strange emotion stirred within Situ Xingyun, an emotion that was indescribable.
Li Ge stepped forward and bowed to each of them.
"This humble subject pays respects to Your Majesty, Your Majesty the Empress Dowager, and Your Highness the Imperial Concubine..."
When Li Ge's gaze swept over Shuang Die, Shuang Die felt her heart pounding. But when his gaze left her, she felt a faint sense of loss.
"Princess Xiangxue".
Li Ge's eyes darkened, revealing a gentle tenderness.
Qingyun smiled, her eyebrows arched, and her eyes were filled with a warm smile.
"Cough cough... cough cough..." The Empress Dowager's coughing once again pulled everyone back from their astonishment. "Xue'er... cough cough... no need... life and death are determined by fate. If I live a few more years, this old body of mine will suffer for a few more years, cough cough..."
"Mother..." Qingyun bit her lip.
At this moment, the Empress Dowager's pupils suddenly contracted, and her hands, which were gripping Qingyun and Shuangdie, tightened suddenly, then slowly, slowly loosened, and finally fell down.
Just like the last leaf falling from the tree outside the window, the autumn wind is bleak, and the richness of summer has dissipated.
"Mother!"
"Mother!"
"Your Majesty the Empress Dowager!"
Immediately, the room was filled with weeping.
At the same time, the eunuch outside shouted: "The Empress Dowager has passed away!"
According to historical records of Fengxi, in September of the 223rd year of Fengxi, the Empress Dowager passed away. The entire court wore mourning clothes, and the emperor suspended court for a month to commemorate her.
In October of the 223rd year of Fengxi, the Emperor read out the Empress Dowager's edict: Princess Fengxi is a twin butterfly. Due to Eunuch Lan's selfishness, the princess was forced to live among the common people. Now that the princess has returned to the palace, the bloodline of Fengxi can continue. May Heaven bless Fengxi.
In the same month, the emperor ordered the execution of Eunuch Lan and appointed the folk healer Li Ge as the foremost imperial physician of the time.
Snow Palace.
"Phew—" Qingyun stretched lazily and then immediately collapsed onto the soft chaise lounge. "I'm exhausted!"
"Oh dear! Princess...Princess..." Qianghui looked at Qingyun anxiously, "Princess, you can't do that, Princess..."
Qingyun secretly pursed her lips, then smiled and said, "Fine. I won't do it again. Qianghui, you can leave now!" Looking at the large group of palace maids behind her, Qingyun frowned slightly, "You can all leave now."
"Yes, Princess."
After everyone had left, Qingyun stretched lazily again, then buried her face in the snow-white fox fur. Suddenly, her eyes flashed, and a sly smile curved her lips.
