NovelEnglishChapter 411: The Empress Dowager
Hearing this, Gu Chaoyan frowned. What was he asking her for? Could it be because she had personally cured that patient? If that was the case, he must just be asking her about the treatment.
Gu Chaoyan nodded, got dressed briefly and walked out. Xia Yinghan was in the middle of reading a book which Madame Jiang gave to her as she moved out of the Jiang Mansion. Those books were mostly small tales of different parts of the society.
Seeing Gu Chaoyan walking out, Xia Yinghan could not help but smile, “Lady Chaoyan, the books you are reading seem very interesting.”
“I am just using them to kill time.” Gu Chaoyan responded.
Apart from the tales she liked, she was most interested in regional stories. She would very much like to travel about this world when she got the chance, but that was not what she was able to do right now, so she did not mention anything about it.
As they were talking, Sword One already got the breakfast ready.

“I like everything.” Xia Yinghan answered kindly.
The two of them finished breakfast together, and after breakfast, they visited the court together.
Xia Yinghan had gotten a pass since she was always in the court, checking up on the princesses. She had access to every door in the court. By following her, Gu Chaoyan entered the court without much difficulty.
Gu Chaoyan showed a very serious look on her face, after she walked into the court.
Seeing how she behaved, Xia Yinghan said out of concern, seeing that she was feeling rather nervous. “The King is probably asking you about the patient, he is friendly, don’t be nervous.”
Gu Chaoyan smiled gratefully.
She was not nervous, but she felt quite warm in inside seeing Doctor Yinghan showing concern.
This time, the King was meeting her in the Imperial Study.
The Dean was already in the Imperial Study, and Xia Yinghan and Gu Chaoyan kneeled down in front of the King.
The King did not pester them, but said directly, “Please rise.”
Xia Yinghan and Gu Chaoyan both got up, with heads lowered, standing still.
“You cured the patient?” The King asked casually.
“Yes”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“You are a skillful doctor. You cured the Young Duke and now this man too.” The King sounded admiring as he was speaking. It was quite rare to have such medical skills at such a young age.
“I am granting you a bonus.” The King said indifferently, “The Empress Dowager is asking for you, go and see her now.”
The Empress Dowager?
The Dean and Xia Yinghan were both startled. Neither of them had seen this coming.
Gu Chaoyan had no interest in meeting her, but she had no choice, so she nodded and answered, “Okay.”
“King, Lady Chaoyan is not familiar with the court, let me keep her company there.” Xia Yinghan stepped forward and said,
The King nodded, made a waving gesture at her and approved.
Instead of looking at them, he turned to the Dean, “As for what you told me yesterday...” Then he walked out of the Imperial Study.
Xia Yinghan looked concerned. “Do remember to stay tolerant of The Empress Dowager, it can’t be something important.’
