Forensic Imperial Concubine novel Chapter 601

On hearing this, Sherry immediately put down her chopsticks and asked her maid, "Did anyone call the imperial physician when Her Majesty fainted?"

"My Lady, I don't know. Nancy is disheveled, her eyes red and swollen, and she looks extremely upset. The Sleek Palace may be in a mess now," Minna said gingerly.

Sherry looked at the emperor who had already put down the chopsticks and said, "Your Majesty, Her Majesty fainted. I'm afraid the situation is rather serious. Why don't you come along with me and see her?"

When he saw Sherry pleading like that, the emperor couldn't refuse her. What was more, the empress had fainted and he didn't know if she was well now. The empress was his only wife, and she had responsibility for all the concubines in the palace. He couldn't brush her aside. So he ordered at once, "Well, guards, get ready to the Sleek Palace."

Sherry followed the emperor and looked at her maid, Minna. Minna nodded modestly at her mistress. There was a glint in Sherry's eyes, but her expression showed great concern, as if she was worrying about the empress.

It was a total mess in the Sleek Palace. The empress was unconscious, and the chief maid Nancy came to Sherry's palace. The Sleek Palace was in a total mess with no authoritative leaders, but now that Nancy had come back with Sherry and the emperor, everyone was relieved.

The emperor had doubted that the empress was pretending to be sick. But when he saw the pale and weak empress lying on the bed, he believed that she was really sick, and even suffering from a serious illness.

"Where is the imperial physician?"

With red-rimmed eyes, Nancy said anxiously, "Your Majesty, I have sent for the imperial physician, but he hasn't arrived yet. Her Majesty has been in poor health in recent days. I suggested calling for an imperial physician to check on her health, but she didn't want me to do so. She regretted that she hadn't taught her child well. Prince Walden was raised by her, but he dared to commit such a crime. Her Majesty had been meditating and reflecting on her mistakes in the small prayer room every day, but she refused to let me call for an imperial physician even if she got sick. Your Majesty, Her Majesty..."

"Well, that's enough," the emperor sighed. "Andy, go and check to see where the imperial physician is."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Andy took the order to leave at once. But as soon as he reached the door, he saw that the imperial physician followed hard on the heels of a young maid.

"Your Majesty, Lady Sherry, greetings."

"Well, there's no need to be ceremonious. Come here and check the empress's condition," the emperor said with steady calmness.

"Yes, Your Majesty." The imperial physician quickly got up, knelt down by the bed, took out a handkerchief, and covered the empress's wrist. Then he began to feel her pulse. But after feeling her pulse, he looked thoughtful, and opened his mouth to say something, but kept quiet after a second thought.

"How is the empress now?" the old emperor inquired, frowning when he saw the imperial physician's grim face.
