As soon as the Empress and Quincy arrived, they saw a few eunuchs drag a palace maid from the water frantically.
That palace maid was Summer Snow, Quincy's personal maid. She had stumbled and fell into the water; her clothes were soaked. After she got out of the water, she laid on the ground, motionless with her eyes closed tightly.
"Summer!"
Quincy panicked as she shouted desperately.
However, Summer did not respond to her. Her face was chalk-white, and her situation looked quite alarming at first glance.
"Quick!" Qianyu was anxious. She ordered the eunuch, "What are you doing? Go get an imperial physician!"
Summer had been Quincy's personal maid for more than ten years. She was someone very dear to Quincy. Quincy was heartbroken when she realized that Summer had drowned.
"Yes! I'll go get the imperial physician!" The eunuch dared not hesitate; he left quickly.
The atmosphere was tense.
After a while, a few imperial doctors finally arrived hurriedly with their medical boxes on their shoulders. The imperial physician who headed the group was an old man in his seventies. His sideburns had turned white—he was the Head of Imperial Physician, Doctor Soros.
The Empress smiled with joy when she saw Doctor Soros. "Doctor Soros, please take care of Summer."
Even though Summer was Quincy's personal palace maid, she was a well-behaved and kind lady. The Empress liked her very much—she did not want Summer to die like that.
Whoa!
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Doctor Soros.
Doctor Xue was skillful—everyone had confidence that Summer would recover with him there.
The doctor walked up to Summer, crouched and checked on Summer's pulse. He muttered, "She probably fainted because she panicked!"
As he spoke, Doctor Soros took a silver needle from the medical box and pierced it into Summer's Tan Zhong acupoint!
Tan Zhong acupoint was one of the most sensitive acupoints in the human body. One would wake up when the acupoint was stimulated!
