Following behind the guards was Granny Yun. Upon seeing the two, Granny Yun curtsied and greeted them, "Crown Prince Junheng, Princess Weiyang."
Mu Chenshuang looked at Granny Yun and asked, "Granny Yun, I've come to visit the Empress Dowager. How has her health been lately?"
Granny Yun lowered her eyes and replied respectfully, "Her Majesty the Empress Dowager is in good health and is resting now. Princess Weiyang and Crown Prince Junheng can come to visit Her Majesty another day."
Mu Chenshuang's brows furrowed, and she said, "I will not disturb the Empress Dowager. I will take her pulse and check on her condition. After all, the Empress Dowager has been poisoned twice, and we cannot be careless."
Granny Yun hesitated for a moment, then finally said, "Princess Weiyang, please!"
The two then followed Granny Yun into the palace, while Fu Junheng waited outside.
The Empress Dowager was indeed resting at this time.
Granny Yun carefully walked to the bedside, lifted the curtain, and Mu Chenshuang slowed her pace and stepped forward. She looked at the old man lying on the bed, his breathing steady, his face slightly pale.
Granny Yun carefully removed the Empress Dowager's hand, and Mu Chenshuang sat down to take the Empress Dowager's pulse.
He paused for a moment, then his brow furrowed slightly.
She withdrew her hand and touched the Empress Dowager's brow; a silent current flowed along her fingers and into the Empress Dowager's brow.
Granny Yun watched from the side, puzzled.
A moment later, Mu Chenshuang withdrew her hand, bowed to Granny Yun, and said, "Let's go!"
Granny Yun nodded, Mu Chenshuang stood up, Granny Yun lowered the curtain and followed her out.
We arrived at the front hall.
Fu Junheng saw her and walked over. "How is it?"
Mu Chenshuang did not answer Fu Junheng, but turned to look at Granny Yun, "Has the Empress Dowager been sleeping a lot lately?"
Granny Yun replied, "Yes, but she was in good spirits after waking up, but she rested after a few hours. The Empress Dowager just had breakfast and then went to rest."
"Has anyone visited the Empress Dowager recently?"
Granny Yun replied, "The Empress Dowager hadn't been eating much before. Doctor Ji happened to be in the palace at the time, so she came to check on the Empress Dowager. She said that the Empress Dowager had mild anorexia, but after two acupuncture treatments, her condition has improved."
"Has the Empress Dowager been speaking unclearly or making irresponsible remarks lately?"
Granny Yun said, "Indeed, the Empress Dowager has been doing so lately."
Mu Chenshuang didn't ask any more questions. "Take good care of the Empress Dowager. I'll come again next time."
Granny Yun curtsied and said, "Yes."
Mu Chenshuang and Fu Junheng left the hall.
"The Empress Dowager is currently delirious."
It's what's called Alzheimer's disease, a blockage in the blood vessels of the brain. She just used her spiritual power to clear the Empress Dowager's blood vessels.
"It's probably no coincidence that these symptoms are appearing at this time."
Mu Chenshuang said.
"It seems someone had already predicted this; Ji Luoyan has been getting close to Feng Mozhan's people recently."
Mu Chenshuang's brows furrowed. "So Ji Luoyan is in cahoots with him."
Ji Luoyan helped Qi Mingsen rise to the position of commander of the Imperial Guard, making Consort Rong a favorite. She was extremely wealthy and controlled most of the economy in the capital. Such a woman was a force to be reckoned with, possessing both wealth and intelligence.
"When did she start having contact with Feng Moran?"
If there really is something between the two, then from this perspective, Feng Mo Ran truly has an absolute advantage.
"Only those in the know know exactly when it will start. The current situation is that Feng Mo Ran not only has power but also has strong financial resources to support him. If he wants to recruit soldiers and start a rebellion, he will have an absolute advantage."
Suddenly.
Mu Chenshuang stopped in her tracks.
He looked up at Fu Junheng and said, "I need to go to the East Palace."
Fu Jun's face darkened. He stepped aside to stand in front of Mu Chen Shuang, and asked seriously, "Go find him and tell him about Feng Mo Ran's ambitions? Tell him to be on guard?"
Mu Chenshuang lowered her eyes. Even if Feng Xilan was confused, he couldn't possibly be unable to see the situation clearly. However, he certainly didn't know how powerful the background of Feng Mozhan was.
"But even if Feng Mozhan controls the overall situation in the court now, the Shen family still has the Prime Minister's Mansion and Shen Nanzhi behind them, which is enough to counter him."
"Many undercurrents of conflict are brewing. Once the rebellion begins in the open, the first person to step forward and be seen by the emperor will be labeled a traitor. Feng Mo Ran is in the shadows, while the Shen family is in the open. If the Shen family and the Crown Prince start making moves, who do you think will be the first to be killed?"
Mu Chenshuang's expression was solemn. "Even if Feng Moran currently holds an absolute advantage, is there really no way to deal with him?"
Fu Junheng said, "Shuang'er, you can't change the political situation."
Mu Chenshuang turned around and looked at the vast, abyss-like palace. "His Majesty should be in Yunxi Palace now."
"The only way you can see His Majesty now is by infiltrating."
