135: Empress Dowager She

“Alright, in that case, I’ll go back to my room and prepare. Brother Tianming, you should also get ready!” Chen Xuan said.

“I don’t have anything to prepare. Everything I need is already on me, Brother Chen! You just do your thing!” Zhao Tianming said.

He didn’t expect Chen Xuan to be so understanding, giving him and Chen Wenwen space to be alone!

“I’m going too!” Chen Wenwen shot Zhao Tianming a disgusted look and followed Chen Xuan away.

‘Chen Xuan!! You’re truly despicable! Even if you and Wenwen didn’t do anything, you still made her so distant from me and so close to you!’

Watching the two leave, Zhao Tianming’s heart was filled with boundless anger.

However, very soon, Chen Xuan returned here alone. At this time, Chen Wenwen was already in the Secret Realm.

“Alright, Brother Tianming, let’s set off!”

“Wenwen, she…”

“Since we’re both leaving, she didn’t want to stay down there anymore. She’s currently in seclusion, diligently Cultivating!” Chen Xuan said with a smile.

“So Wenwen is working so hard now… In that case, let’s set off together!”

After speaking, the two made their preparations and embarked on their journey to the Imperial Palace.

Along the way, Zhao Tianming was still calculating in his heart that he must find a way to eliminate Chen Xuan within these few days! Otherwise, once Chen Xuan returned to Chen Wenwen’s side, he would never have another chance!

As he thought about it, Zhao Tianming began to secretly rejoice. He was already impatient to enter the Imperial Palace, then get the item that woman promised, and then have her help him kill Chen Xuan!

Then he would properly comfort Wenwen, win the beauty, and be free as a bird!

However, he did not know that an even greater surprise awaited him!

After a period of screening, the two finally arrived near the Imperial Palace.

The Imperial Palace’s city walls were tall and majestic, covered with guards holding long spears and swords at their waists, their expressions serious and their gazes sharp.

Chen Xuan and Zhao Tianming stood outside the Imperial Palace, feeling the solemnity and majesty of the palace.

“This is the Imperial Palace, it truly has an extraordinary Aura!” Zhao Tianming exclaimed, feeling a little excited at the same time.

As long as he could obtain the millennium frost grass, he would be able to solve Revered Master Qian Muli’s Soul problem. This was the most crucial thing, and his most important trump card.

“Alright, we’re not here to look at this. Let’s go in first!” Chen Xuan urged.

Because he was also a little curious; after all, the place they were going this time was the Royal harem, and he had never been there before!

Zhao Tianming also nodded, thinking to himself, “Chen Xuan, I’ll soon let you witness the true dangers within the Imperial Palace!”

“Let’s go!” Chen Xuan said, walking towards the Imperial Palace gate.

However, when they arrived at the Imperial Palace gate, they were stopped by the guards.

“Stop! Unauthorized personnel are not allowed to trespass into the Imperial Palace!” a guard shouted sternly.

The moment the guard saw Zhao Tianming, he couldn’t help but want to make things difficult for him. He didn’t know why, but as the two got closer, he suddenly lost that thought and proceeded with a routine check instead.

Chen Xuan and Zhao Tianming exchanged glances, then Chen Xuan stepped forward, took out a token, and handed it to the guard.

“This is my pass token, please take a look.”

The guard took the token, examined it carefully, and then his expression softened as he said:

“So you are doctors here to treat the Empress Dowager. Please follow me, but this place is the Royal harem, so you can only stay in the Tai Hospital and must not act without permission! Otherwise, you will bear the consequences!”

“As it should be!” Chen Xuan said.

Subsequently, Chen Xuan and Zhao Tianming, led by the guard, entered the Imperial Palace.

Inside the Imperial Palace, it was resplendent and magnificent. Countless precious antiques and artworks were displayed in the main hall, showcasing the nobility and luxury of the royal family.

However, neither Chen Xuan nor Zhao Tianming had the mind to appreciate these; their goal was very clear: the millennium frost grass.

After passing through layers of checkpoints and inspections, they finally arrived at the Tai Hospital.

The Tai Hospital was located in the back courtyard of the Imperial Palace, surrounded by a tall wall, and two guards stood at the entrance.

“This is the Tai Hospital. Wait here, I’ll go report to the Chief Manager.” the guard said.

“Thank you for your trouble!” Chen Xuan nodded.

After a while, the guard returned and told them, “The Chief Manager has invited you. Follow me!”

Chen Xuan and Zhao Tianming followed the guard into the Tai Hospital and arrived in front of a grand hall.

At the entrance of the hall stood two palace maids. Upon seeing Chen Xuan and Zhao Tianming, they stepped forward to greet them.

“Please enter!” the palace maids said.

Chen Xuan and Zhao Tianming followed the palace maids into the hall. Inside, there were several people dressed as doctors, both male and female, presumably all there to treat the Empress Dowager.

Standing in the very center was an old eunuch.

“Since everyone has arrived! By the Empress Dowager’s decree, you shall each take turns treating her!”

Chen Xuan and Zhao Tianming were the last to arrive, so they were both at the very end of the line, Zhao Tianming last, and Chen Xuan second to last.

The two waited for a long time, until evening finally arrived before it was Chen Xuan’s turn to begin the treatment. So many doctors before him, yet not a single one could treat the Empress Dowager!

“It’s my turn. Brother Tianming, you just wait for me here. Maybe I can cure the Empress Dowager!”

“No problem, Brother Chen, hurry up and go!” Zhao Tianming showed a disdainful smile.

Are you kidding? This was a setup he had already arranged with that woman inside. This millennium frost grass was simply the reward he deserved, so naturally, only he could cure her!

Chen Xuan didn’t say much more and stepped inside.

As soon as he entered the room, he saw a woman sitting seductively by the bed, her eyes lazily staring at him.

This woman was precisely the Empress Dowager of the Great Chen Imperial Family, Empress Dowager She!
