"Hey! Alright then!" Zi Xia responded, carrying a bunch of bags while following behind Xuexue. At first, they were two steps apart.
Gradually, Xuexue walked faster, and with a turn, she disappeared.
"Miss, wait for me."
Zi Xia was utterly frustrated, thinking, Miss, your martial arts skills have improved, but can't you care a little for this maid?
At the street corner, a large crowd had gathered, whispering and discussing something.
Xuexue walked in to see an Imperial Edict posted, the gist of which was that the Empress Dowager had fallen seriously ill and couldn't sleep at night. The Imperial Physicians were at their wits' end, and the Emperor, distressed by the Empress Dowager's suffering, was inviting divine doctors from far and wide. Anyone who healed the Empress Dowager would be rewarded 10,000 taels of gold, and if interested in joining the Imperial Palace as an Imperial Physician, they could also gain title and rank."
