Chapter 3462: 4.1062 Possible

Old Wu and the other four had already had their cultivation crippled by Crown Prince Mo's orders. They were now useless, and even when dragged out of the palace to be whipped, they were powerless to resist.

Soon, a large crowd of onlookers gathered at the bustling palace gate.

Seeing these scoundrels who had forcibly entered Mokyo City and committed atrocities being subjected to such extreme punishment by His Royal Highness, everyone cheered and applauded!

Upon hearing that the Crown Prince and Crown Princess had returned together from the Divine Land, they were all overjoyed. They spontaneously knelt towards the palace, calling out "Your Royal Highness, the Crown Prince."

They had endured enough of these ruffians' insolence during this period, and now seeing them punished in such a manner naturally released the pent-up anger in their hearts.

Qiao Mu and Mo Lian rushed to the Empress Dowager's Longevity Palace. Gong Chang'an had been waiting for a long time and immediately scurried over, leading the two into the Empress Dowager's bedchamber.

The old lady was leaning on a golden nanmu bed. Her eyes clearly brightened when they fell upon the young couple entering the room.

"Grandmother." Qiao Mu's heart tightened when she saw the old lady's pale and unwell face.

"Quick, quick, come here and let Grandmother see you." The old lady was very cheerful, showing no sign of injury. Instead, she laughed heartily.

If it weren't for Empress Zhao quickly holding her down, the old lady would likely have thrown off her quilt and gotten out of bed to greet them.

"Greetings to Father-King and Mother-Empress." Qiao Mu bowed.

The Eldest King hastily said, "No need for such formalities. Your Grandmother's arm is severely injured, Crown Princess. Please come quickly and examine her thoroughly."

Qiao Mu nodded and quickly stepped forward to sit by the bed.

Empress Zhao stood up, standing aside, looking at the old lady with worry.

Qiao Mu carefully examined the Empress Dowager's arm bone, her brows slightly furrowed.

The Empress Dowager's arm injury was even more severe than Little Six's, and given her age, strong medications were best avoided.

The King and Empress Zhao, seeing her remain silent after the examination, anxiously and worriedly asked, "Is it... is it not... cannot be cured?"

"It can be cured." Qiao Mu nodded, then took out her needle pouch and helped the old lady lie flat.

"But Grandmother must listen to me. Your daily routine, diet, everything must follow my instructions. You must also watch what you eat and not overindulge in sweets."

She had just taken her pulse and discovered that the old lady's arm wasn't her only injury; her body also needed extensive recuperation.

The old lady, upon hearing this, immediately grumbled unconvincingly, "I didn't eat too much. It was always just a bite or two of snacks."

Empress Zhao couldn't help but rub her forehead, exchanging glances with the Eldest King standing beside her.

Feng Gu, the old wet nurse closest to the Empress Dowager, smiled and said, "Crown Princess, you really must have a good talk with Her Majesty the Empress Dowager this time."

"Don't go tattling," Empress Dowager Meng grumbled, suddenly feeling a slight prick in her arm. Looking down, she saw the little one had already removed the silver needles from her arm.

Aside from that tiny prick of pain just now, she didn't feel any discomfort.

Empress Dowager Meng smiled and said, "Qiao Qiao, your healing skills are growing by leaps and bounds. When you treated me, I didn't feel anything at all."

Qiao Mu pouted, then took a pill and directly put it into the old Empress Dowager's mouth. "Grandmother, please don't crave sweets anymore. The prescription I've given you, you should drink it once a day for half a month."

"I guarantee you'll be full of energy afterward."
