An old woman approached Su Ruojin and bowed. "Princess, the Empress Dowager is not feeling well. Please come and see her."
Madam Su found it strange; wasn't there an imperial physician? Why was Xiao Jin called over?
However, since the Empress Dowager had invited him, it was not easy to refuse.
"Let Mu Yao go with you." With someone accompanying her, Madam Su felt more at ease.
The old woman said, "Madam Su, the Empress Dowager only summoned Princess Chang Le." The implication was that Su Muyao could not go with her.
Since it concerned the Empress Dowager's health, it was indeed inconvenient for more people to know.
Su Ruojin comforted Madam Su, saying, "Mother, it's alright, I'll be right back."
When Wei Yingshuang learned that Su Ruojin had gone to the Empress Dowager, she was overjoyed. The time she had agreed to meet with Prince Qin was approaching, and she was still worried about not finding a suitable way to lure Su Ruojin out. Unexpectedly, her aunt had created an opportunity for her.
She carried a small pot of white fungus soup and walked towards the Empress Dowager's tent.
As soon as Su Ruojin entered the tent, she saw the Empress Dowager lying on her side on the chaise longue, with palace servants rubbing her head.
"Greetings to the Empress Dowager." Su Ruojin bowed.
"Princess, you're here! Come and take a look at me. I don't know why, but I suddenly feel dizzy."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Su Ruojin stepped forward to take Empress Dowager Wei's pulse and replied, "Empress Dowager, you have caught a cold. I will prescribe a medicine to dispel the cold in a moment. You will be fine after drinking one dose."
Upon hearing this, Empress Dowager Wei looked at Granny Xin beside her and said, "See, I told you the princess's medical skills are better than those imperial physicians."
Granny Xin replied with a smile, "That's right. The Empress Dowager is wise. That Imperial Physician Zhang told the Empress Dowager that she should take the medicine for at least seven days, but the princess only needs to take the medicine for one day now that she's here."
Su Ruojin raised her eyebrows slightly, her expression remaining unchanged.
The Empress Dowager is ill, so she will definitely have the imperial physicians examine her. This is just a test of her medical skills.
She prescribes medicine with the aim of curing the disease quickly and efficiently.
The imperial physicians dared not prescribe strong medicine, so they could only gently nourish the Empress Dowager. Therefore, it was not wrong to have her take medicine for seven days.
"Princess, since you're here, please keep me company and have a chat. I really like you," said Empress Dowager Wei.
Since the Empress Dowager had only asked for her company and she was simply asked to have a chat, Su Ruojin had no reason to refuse.
The Empress Dowager casually asked a few questions about Su Ruojin's life before she returned to the Su family, when a palace maid entered and said, "Empress Dowager, Princess Fengxi requests an audience."
"Oh, Shuang'er, what brings you here? Let her in."
Wei Yingshuang walked in, "Shuang'er greets the Empress Dowager."
"Shuang'er, I hear it's very lively outside. Why don't you go and have some fun? Why did you come all this way?"
"Shuang'er heard that the Empress Dowager was unwell, so she personally cooked some white fungus soup for her to try." As she spoke, Wei Yingshuang divided the white fungus soup into small bowls and handed them to Granny Xin.
After Granny Xin checked it, she took it to the Empress Dowager.
Wei Yingshuang scooped another bowl and handed it to Su Ruojin, "Princess Chang Le is here too, please have some. I made a lot, even the Empress Dowager can't finish it all."
Su Ruojin glanced at the bowl in Wei Yingshuang's hand but did not reach out.
Wei Yingshuang laughed and said, "What, is the princess afraid that I will poison it? The princess has also seen that Granny Xin has already checked it."
Granny Xin has checked it, and the Empress Dowager is eating it. If Su Ruojin were to question whether the soup is poisoned, it would be unreasonable.
If she doesn't accept it, it only shows her arrogance; what the Empress Dowager can eat, she cannot.
Su Ruojin smiled and took the white fungus soup. "How could that be? I'm just a little excited to be able to eat white fungus soup made by Princess Fengxi herself. The princess is so virtuous."
Wei Yinshuang scooped up a bowl and ate it herself; everything seemed very harmonious.
Yanluo watched her young mistress slowly sip her soup, feeling somewhat anxious.
Princess Fengxi is no good person; how could Miss eat her things?
