In Mu Chenshuang's view, Feng Guche was not unable to see through things, but rather that he was overly dependent on Cang Xixue.
It was precisely for this reason that Feng Guche entrusted the affairs of the previous dynasty to Feng Moran instead of Feng Xilan.
Right now, Mu Chenshuang only hopes that this situation will pass soon, but the heaviness in her heart can't be shaken off. Mu Chenshuang feels that Feng Guche will not take back his power anytime soon.
The fact that the matter concerning the Prime Minister is still unresolved is the best proof of this.
Next, Mu Chenshuang stayed in the Empress Dowager's palace for another half an hour.
During this time, Mu Chenshuang took the Empress Dowager's pulse to confirm that the Empress Dowager was in good health before the two continued their conversation.
"You are a clever girl, and your mind is as meticulous as any man's. It may be difficult for you to handle this matter, but I still think you can get involved."
After hearing this, Mu Chenshuang was stunned and looked at the Empress Dowager in disbelief.
"Your Majesty, I..."
Mu Chenshuang looked troubled. The task the Empress Dowager had given her was indeed quite heavy. To put it bluntly, wasn't this going against the Emperor?
Just then, hurried footsteps sounded outside the door.
The Empress Dowager's face showed displeasure, and she was about to reprimand someone when suddenly the door was opened.
It was Granny Yun who came in.
Granny Yun looked flustered and immediately prostrated herself on the ground to pay her respects as soon as she entered.
"Your Majesty, please save us! The Empress has fainted in the Cold Palace and is in critical condition. The palace maids and eunuchs are afraid to seek the imperial physician. We beg Your Majesty to intervene!"
Upon hearing this, the Empress Dowager's expression froze, and even her breathing became rapid.
"How could she faint? What happened?"
"Your Majesty, I have heard that since entering the Cold Palace, Your Majesty the Empress has only eaten one meal a day, and the amount of food is very small. It must be due to the depression in your heart."
Granny Yun prostrated herself on the ground, her words filled with worry.
The Empress Dowager suddenly stood up and turned to look at Mu Chenshuang.
"Girl, I really have to trouble you to go see the Empress!"
"Yes, Your Majesty the Empress."
After speaking, Mu Chenshuang bowed to the Empress Dowager and then followed Granny Yun toward the Cold Palace.
Due to the urgency of the situation, Mu Chenshuang quickened her pace, but she dared not jog, as she was carrying a child.
"Master, don't panic. I have already used my spiritual energy to protect the baby. You can rest assured."
As Sui Sui's voice came over, Mu Chenshuang breathed a long sigh of relief.
Seeing that Mu Chenshuang's breathing was unsteady, Granny Yun, who was standing to the side, spoke up apologetically.
"Princess, this is too much trouble for you. If the Empress Dowager had any other way, she wouldn't have bothered you with this trip."
Mu Chenshuang nodded.
"I understand what you mean, Granny."
Granny Yun's eyes reddened, and she quickly lowered her head.
Mu Chenshuang is an intelligent person and will surely understand the Empress Dowager's actions.
At this time, the relationship between the Empress Dowager and the Emperor appeared to be fine on the surface, but in private, they did not get along well.
That harmonious atmosphere was merely a facade.
If the Empress Dowager were to have the Imperial Medical Academy treat today's events, it would inevitably give rise to gossip and might even cause trouble for the Empress.
Sending Mu Chenshuang there was the only way to delay the inevitable.
