Seeing the expressions on everyone's faces, Feng Guche suddenly spoke up: "Everyone is welcome to speak freely about whatever they have in mind. Also, the Empress Dowager will be arriving soon."
No one knew what Feng Guche meant by his last sentence, but the doubts in their hearts were real.
...
Ning'an Palace.
Mu Chenshuang came early in the morning to take the Empress Dowager's pulse. Upon learning that the Empress Dowager's health had improved, Mu Chenshuang finally showed joy on her face.
Seeing the smile on Mu Chenshuang's face, Granny Yun, who was standing nearby, felt relieved.
Granny Yun personally poured a cup of tea for Mu Chenshuang and presented it to her with both hands.
"Your Highness is truly a miracle worker. Ever since the Empress Dowager received the medicine according to your prescription, her spirits have improved considerably. This is all thanks to Your Highness."
After she finished speaking, Granny Yun respectfully invited Mu Chenshuang to have some tea.
Although Granny Yun was a palace maid, she always stayed by the Empress Dowager's side, and her status was quite high.
Seeing Granny Yun offering her tea with both hands, Mu Chenshuang immediately stood up, looking embarrassed.
"There's no need for you to be so polite, Granny. This is all I should do. Besides, Her Majesty the Empress Dowager is in good health, so it's no surprise that she has recovered to this state."
In order to keep the Empress Dowager in a good mood, Mu Chenshuang had no choice but to say these words against her will.
Granny Yun was well aware of the Empress Dowager's health condition.
Seeing Mu Chenshuang say this, Granny Yun still held the teacup with both hands.
“The princess comes to the inner palace every few days to take the Empress Dowager’s pulse. It must be very tiring for her. Please drink this cup of tea.”
Seeing that Granny Yun insisted on doing so, Mu Chenshuang had no choice but to accept the tea.
As Granny Yun poured the tea, everyone smelled the delicate aroma of tea. Looking at the bluish tea in the teacup, Mu Chenshuang's smile deepened.
The emerald green tea leaves swirled around, looking incredibly appealing.
Mu Chenshuang brought the tea to her lips, about to take a sip, when a young eunuch rushed in.
The young eunuch stumbled and ran towards the Empress Dowager's palace, shouting as he ran, "Empress Dowager, something terrible has happened!"
Mu Chenshuang's heart tightened, and she instinctively placed the tea on the table in front of her, then looked in the direction of the sound.
When Granny Yun heard the eunuch's changed voice, she felt a surge of tension, and an unprecedented seriousness appeared on her face.
It should be noted that those serving the Empress Dowager were all veterans of the harem, and even the young palace maids and eunuchs were carefully selected.
The Empress Dowager preferred quiet, and the palace maids and eunuchs working in the palace always walked carefully, not daring to make any noise. Such shouting was something that had never happened before.
The Empress Dowager was in good spirits today, so she heard the eunuch's shouts clearly.
The Empress Dowager instinctively frowned at such a rude behavior.
Seeing this, Granny Yun's voice became stern.
"How dare you! How dare you be so disrespectful in front of the Empress Dowager! Do you have a death wish?"
Although Granny Yun lowered her voice, her words still conveyed an undeniable authority.
Before the little eunuch could even stand up straight, he knelt on the ground, trembling all over.
