"You can stay here tonight!" The Empress Dowager said with an implicit threat in her tone, "Not everyone can come to the Cining Palace of the Ai family!"

"Since the Empress Dowager has kindly invited me, Xiao Xi would rather be respectful than obey." A devilish smile appeared on Su Xiaoxi's lips, which made the Empress Dowager's heart tremble.

"Hmm..." The Queen Mother responded, and then stood up suddenly as if she suddenly realized what was happening.

"Oh, the Ai family is so confused."

After saying that, the Queen Mother quickly turned around and ordered the maid next to her: "Quickly, take out the Ai family's Phoenix Crown Xia Phi!"

"Empress Dowager, you have forgotten that the Emperor sent you the Phoenix Crown Xia Phi yesterday. You were reluctant to wear it and put it away this morning..."

The maid lowered her head and carefully reminded the Queen Mother.

"You bastard, why didn't you tell me earlier!" As she said that, the Queen Mother raised her hand and slapped the maid.

There was a crisp sound, and the maid's cheek suddenly swelled up. One can imagine how hard the Queen Mother used it.

Su Xiaoxi could see clearly that if the maid hadn't dodged in time, she would have flown out directly.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I know I was wrong. I know I was wrong." The maid was frightened and kowtowed quickly to beg for mercy.

"Why are you still standing there? Why don't you take out the Ai family's things quickly?" The Queen Mother scolded angrily, and the maid quickly got up and took out the Queen Mother's Phoenix Crown Xia Phi.

The Queen Mother's phoenix crown shawl is extremely well made, with vivid peonies embroidered on the red silk. It is luxurious and expensive, and it is worth a fortune at a glance.

Looking at such expensive clothes, Su Xiaoxi frowned slightly.

Such a precious Phoenix Crown Xia Phi, but the Queen Mother never wore any of it. What a waste.

"Princess, please give it a try!" Seeing Su Xiaoxi staring at the phoenix crown robe, the Queen Mother urged.

Su Xiaoxi finally came to her senses and immediately reached out to get the Phoenix Crown Xia Phi.

When she looked at the gold ornaments hanging on the phoenix crown shawl, Su Xiaoxi couldn't help but curse.

Each pearl on the string of beads inlaid with jewels and jade is as big as a baby's fist, and each pearl exudes an alluring light.

With so many pearls, I’m afraid I won’t have to worry about eating and drinking for the rest of my life, right?

"Princess?" Seeing Su Xiaoxi's delay in making any move, the Queen Mother couldn't help but ask.

Su Xiaoxi finally realized, "My daughter obeys the order."

After that, Su Xiaoxi took off her phoenix crown xia. This dress was much more grand than the one she wore before.

Because Su Xiaoxi not only wore a complicated skirt, but also long boots and a belt. It took an hour or two to put together this outfit.

Finally, Su Xiaoxi put on this suit of clothes. When Su Xiaoxi walked out from behind the screen, the Queen Mother's eyes widened.

Su Xiaoxi's skin was originally fair and delicate, but now wearing this set of phoenix robes, she looked even more noble.

Moreover, Su Xiaoxi was already extremely beautiful, which added a bit of charm. Compared with the past, she was completely different.

Looking at herself in the mirror, Su Xiaoxi was slightly startled.

She had never worn such complicated clothes before, and she felt a little stiff all over.

However, she also knew that this set of clothes was specially prepared for her by the Queen Mother and she must wear it.

Moreover, today, she still has to attend the banquet.

"Very beautiful." The Queen Mother praised her, then stood up and walked towards Su Xiaoxi.

"Thank you, Queen Mother, for the compliment. I am not worthy of it." Su Xiaoxi bowed slightly to express her humility, but did not salute.

The Queen Mother didn't care, she took Su Xiaoxi's arms, looked at it carefully for a long time, and nodded with satisfaction.

"It's not in vain that the Ai family has spent so much effort to help you match it. This outfit really suits you and matches you very well." The Queen Mother said happily.

"Thank you, Empress Dowager."

Su Xiaoxi's voice was soft and graceful, like a gurgling stream, pleasant to the ear.

This thank you made the Queen Mother lose her mind for a moment.

This was the first time she heard Su Xiaoxi's gentle voice, which made her a little uncomfortable.

However, the Queen Mother soon returned to normal and continued to talk about what had just happened.

However, Su Xiaoxi thought of the Queen Mother's condition. After all, she was also a doctor, and now she could just diagnose and treat the Queen Mother.

Thinking of this, Su Xiaoxi's eyes fell on the brocade box containing the medicine.

"The Queen Mother, shall I take your pulse first?"

"The Aijia is not in the way. You don't need to worry about it. The Aijia knows her own body." The Queen Mother waved her hand, not wanting Su Xiaoxi to take her pulse.

Su Xiaoxi understood the Queen Mother's concerns, so she did the next best thing and said, "Empress Dowager, let me check your neck and chest for you."

You should feel relieved now, right?

When Su Xiaoxi said this, the Queen Mother hesitated for a moment. Although she felt that Su Xiaoxi's words were inappropriate, she still agreed.

Su Xiaoxi put her hand on the Queen Mother's wrist and listened quietly to the Queen Mother's pulse.

The Queen Mother's body has deteriorated and her pulse is weak. If she does not take supplements, she may not live long.

Su Xiaoxi was silent, while the Queen Mother waited expectantly for Su Xiaoxi to take her pulse.

"The Queen Mother, I have a few doubts. I hope the Queen Mother will tell me." Su Xiaoxi spoke slowly.

The Queen Mother listened and immediately answered seriously, not intending to neglect.

"The Queen Mother, are you in bad health? Why..." Su Xiaoxi raised her head and looked at the Queen Mother, her eyes full of confusion.

"What the princess doesn't know is that the Ai family has been suffering from asthma since they got older. They have been suppressing it with this set of phoenix crowns for these years. As long as they leave this set of clothes or are touched by others, the disease will disappear. It will happen."

Su Xiaoxi suddenly realized, no wonder the Queen Mother must wear this set of clothes.

The root cause of this disease is here. No wonder the Queen Mother is unwilling to wear this set of clothes.

But Su Xiaoxi couldn't figure out why she had such severe asthma?

"Empress Dowager, is this disease innate?" Su Xiaoxi continued to ask.

Hearing this, the Queen Mother shook her head, "No, it's just that I have been taking medicine for these years, and my health has become worse and worse. I can't catch cold, otherwise I will cough and have difficulty breathing."

The Queen Mother said, a hint of coldness flashed across her eyes.

"Then when did the Queen Mother discover her asthma?" Su Xiaoxi asked again.

"It was several years ago." There seemed to be some bitterness in the Queen Mother's eyes.

Hearing these three words, Su Xiaoxi's thoughts seemed to drift away.

She vaguely remembered that in her previous life, the Queen Mother's illness worsened at that time.

As for the specific time, Su Xiaoxi couldn't remember clearly.

"What could the princess see?" Seeing Su Xiaoxi pondering, the Queen Mother couldn't help but ask.

"There were no signs, and he suddenly fell ill." Su Xiaoxi was also very surprised by this and couldn't explain it.

Hearing this, the Queen Mother fell into deep contemplation.

Suddenly fell ill?How can this be?
