Chapter 601 A Record-breaking Affair (Part One)


    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 Pce 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 youe 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 pce. He couldn''t brush her aside. So he ordered at once,


    "Well, guards, get ready to the Sleek Pce."


    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 Pce. The empress was unconscious, and the chief maid Nancy


    came to Sherry''s pce. The Sleek Pce was in a total mess with no authoritative leaders, but now


    that Nancy hade 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 tomit 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.


    The imperial physician was somewhat uncertain about his first judgment. He felt the empress''s pulse


    by checking her other hand. After a long while, he looked at the emperor and replied, "Your Majesty,


    Her Majesty has had a cold for many days. Also, she has had much mental stress and suffered from


    loss of both vital energy and blood, which is why she passed out."


    "Is her condition serious?"


    "Her Majesty is very weak. She needs good treatment, or else..." The imperial physician looked at the


    emperor, and then at Lady Sherry. "It''s likely to be a chronic illness."


    "Take good care of the empress."


    "Yes, Your Majesty." The physician went to write a prescription, and dispatched a servant to get the


    medicine and decoct it. Sherry stood nearby the empress.


    As the emperor was present, everyone attended to their tasks more briskly. When the physician''s


    assistant arrived with the medicine, Nancy fed it to the empress. After a short while, the empress woke


    up. When she saw the emperor sitting by the bed, her eyes rolled slightly. She quickly struggled to sit


    up, and saluted him, "Your..."


    "All right, just stay in bed and don''t move," the emperor told the empress. "Why can''t you take care of


    yourself? If your maid hadn''te to tell me that you passed out, I wouldn''t have known that you were


    torturing yourself like this."


    The empress smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty, it''s all my fault. I''m the one who brought Walden


    up from childhood. I med myself for not educating him well. The result of my neglectfulness was that


    hemitted such a terrible crime. Your Majesty, even if you don''t me me for it, I''m still remorseful."


    "It''s over. Don''t mention it anymore." Although the emperor was dissatisfied with Walden''s behaviors


    and even punished Felix, the empress knew that his main motivation for punishing Felix was that he


    suspected Felix of forming a faction.


    "Yes, Your Majesty. I won''t mention it anymore." The empress closed her eyes and her tears fell. She


    looked like she was in a totally dejected and helpless condition, and the emperor was clueless about


    how to respond to her.


    "Your Majesty, Her Majesty is in poor condition, and she needs someone to keep herpany. Your


    Majesty, you should spend more time with her," Sherry proposed. "Your Majesty, please don''t worry so


    much. You should take good care of yourself too, lest it harm your health. If Walden knew that you are


    so worried and even ill, he would be very remorseful. What''s more, you also have Felix."


    "Felix..." The empress became sadder at this mention of Felix, but she said nothing about him. "Sherry,


    I''m really sorry that you apanied His Majesty to visit me sote at night. Please go back and rest."


    Then, she turned to the emperor and said, "Your majesty, please return to the Spring Pce with


    Sherry. I''m fine now."


    "You are so ill now. How can you say you are all right?" the emperor said reproachfully. "I''ll stay here


    with you tonight."


    "But Your Majesty, I''m too weak and unattractive now. It may ruin your mood."


    "Nonsense. Set your mind at rest. I''ll stay here with you tonight," the emperor said quickly. Then,


    turning to Sherry, he added, "Sherry, you go back to the Spring Pce and sleep well."
