Hearing this, the three siblings were overjoyed and hurried to get moving.
"I'll go fetch the horse for you, Master!"
"Oh, why bother with a horse? Master, I'll have a sedan chair prepared for you!"
"Master, please—"
Watching them bustle about, Verdant Green Maiden blinked. She had a feeling that in the next second, one of them was going to blurt out something ridiculous like, "Master, please ride me!"
Honestly...
When people cared too much, they lost their heads.
After all, Dou Shi was the mother who had raised her from childhood. Verdant Green Maiden could understand her reaction.
Verdant Green Maiden rose and dusted off her sleeves. "What you're suggesting would take too long."
As she spoke, she raised a hand and formed a Lotus Shape gesture, then flicked a finger. In the blink of an eye, by the time the three siblings came to their senses, they were already outside Lizheng Hall in Taiji Palace. The astonishing power of Stars Shift left them utterly amazed.
But the three quickly recovered and hurriedly invited Verdant Green Maiden to enter Lizheng Hall.
"Make way, the Master is here!"
"Please, Master, come inside."
Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin acted like path-clearing vanguards, sweeping a path open for Verdant Green Maiden.
Even the imperial physicians serving inside Lizheng Hall were shoved aside.
The imperial physician: "..."
Dou Shi was propped up in bed, her complexion dreadful.
When she saw Verdant Green Maiden arrive, a complicated look passed through her eyes. She seemed to want to say something, but perhaps because there were too many people around, she looked about her, her expression sorrowful.
Verdant Green Maiden noticed the trouble in her expression, so she said to those around them, "You may all leave for now. The Empress and I will speak alone."
