Zhou Jiaqing remembered where she was and clenched her fists tightly. Ultimately, she had no choice but to put her hands down.
However, her eyes seemed to spew fire at her, as if they would burn her into ashes at any moment.
Seeing this, Zhou Ying replied coldly, “Since you’ve never treated me as a member of the Zhou family, let’s continue that. It’s best if we don’t interfere in each other’s business in the future.”
She picked up her teacup and slowly drank it after saying that.
“Hmph, there will be a day when you cry about that.” Zhou Jia gave a cold harrumph. She turned around and returned to her seat with a livid face.
“What’s wrong? Why are you so angry?” Madam Zhou looked at Zhou Jiaqing, whose face was twisted with anger, and patted her back.
“It’s fine. She said that we should mind our own business in the future and not interact with each other anymore.” Zhou Jiaqing spat with an angry expression.
As for Zhou Ying’s bullying of her, she did not mention a word about that. If her father had found out what she had done in the past, she would not hear the end of it.
“How preposterous. She has forgotten where she has come from.”
“Alright, 1 think this is good enough. Don’t look for her anymore.” Principal Zhou replied unhappily.
At the same time, he felt uncomfortable, but he also knew this icy wall was not built in a day. Their relationship couldn’t ease.
Holding some prayer beads, Madam Zhou pushed the teacup in front of Zhou Jiaqing and said, “Listen to your father. Don’t bother with her in the future. Let’s just pretend that she doesn’t exist in the Zhou family.”
Zhou Jiaqing heeded their advice, but the anger in her heart didn’t subside and instead grew more intense. At this moment, Eunuch Li sang loudly, “The Emperor has arrived, the Empress Dowager has arrived, the Empress has arrived, the Eldest Prince has arrived…”
She had no choice but to suppress the anger in her heart, stand up, walk to the middle, and kneel with the others. “Long live the emperor!
“Long live the Empress Dowager, the Empress, the First Prince… for a thousand years, a thousand years, a thousand years.”
At this moment, the Emperor, who had walked to the side of the dragon throne, was about to sit down when he suddenly felt a tightness in his chest and fainted.
Fortunately, Eunuch Li was quick enough to catch him but couldn’t hold him with one hand. The two of them almost fell together.
The Eldest Prince and the Third Prince rushed together and helped them up. They quickly helped the Emperor onto his throne.
At the same time, the Empress Dowager and the others exclaimed, “Your Majesty!”
Eunuch Li, who had stabilized himself, hurriedly called for Principal Zhou. “Imperial Physician Zhou, hurry up and see what’s happening with the Emperor.”
Principal Zhou immediately squeezed out of the crowd and jogged over, taking the Emperor’s pulse.
The Empress Dowager stared at Principal Zhou.
Because she knew that although the court was calm, undercurrents surged below.
If something happened to the Emperor, the Great Ming would be in chaos, and there would likely be another civil war. Nothing must happen to the Emperor.
A moment later, Principal Zhou released his grip. “It looks like he’s in a state of anxiety, but it doesn’t seem like it at the same time. Let’s wait for the Emperor to wake up and ask him how he feels.”
After saying that, he took out a needle bag from his sleeve.
The Empress understood and immediately asked the palace maid to light a lamp and hand it to him.
After disinfecting the silver needles, Principal Zhou inserted one into the Emperor’s body.
Soon, the Emperor woke up. At first, he was at a loss, but after returning to his senses, he looked at Headmaster Zhou and asked, “Doctor Zhou, what happened?”
“Judging by your pulse, it seems like you’re suffering from an acute heart attack, but…
“I need to ask you, are you still feeling unwell?”
The Emperor calmed down, felt his personal state, and knew he had to say it was nothing, even if there was something. He shook his head and said, “Maybe
I didn’t sleep well yesterday, so I’m just a little dizzy. It’s fine. You can go down..”
