On the way to the palace, Mu Chenshuang was completely absent-minded.
The Imperial Guards at the palace gates were layered upon layered, each with a solemn expression on their face.
Mu Chenshuang's carriage stopped outside the palace, and then she went alone to the palace where the Empress Dowager was.
Some time ago, the Empress Dowager announced that she would move out of her previous palace in order to better recuperate, and Feng Guche agreed.
Currently, the Empress Dowager resides in Ning'an Palace, which faces Feng Guche's palace from afar. Apart from Feng Guche paying his respects, the two rarely see each other on ordinary days.
As Mu Chenshuang walked, she wondered where the Emperor had kept Prime Minister Chen.
Logically speaking, if the evidence against Prime Minister Shen for the Prince of Libei was indeed true, the Emperor would have handed it over to the Censorate or the Court of Judicial Review. Why then was he imprisoned in the palace?
Mu Chenshuang glanced at the young palace maid leading the way, intending to inquire about the information, but then she thought it was really inappropriate.
So, Mu Chenshuang continued walking forward with the little palace maid.
"Princess, this servant will escort you to this intersection and we cannot go any further. Granny Yun is waiting for you ahead."
The young palace maid slowed her pace and spoke respectfully.
Mu Chenshuang nodded, "Thank you."
"You're too kind, Princess."
Along the way, Mu Chenshuang and the little palace maid only exchanged these few words.
Before long, Mu Chenshuang saw Granny Yun waiting for her.
After a few days apart, Granny Yun was no different from usual, still wearing her polite smile, which calmed Mu Chenshuang's heart a little.
Sure enough, when Granny Yun saw Mu Chenshuang enter, she first bowed respectfully, and then a smile appeared on her face.
"Granny Yun, why are you so happy? Is there some good news from the Empress Dowager's side?"
“The princess is right. In the past two days, the Empress Dowager has been eating much more than before, and her spirits are much better.”
After finishing her sentence, Granny Yun added, "This is all thanks to the prescription the princess gave him."
Mu Chenshuang smiled.
"You flatter me, Granny Yun. It's all thanks to Her Majesty the Empress Dowager's excellent care."
Mu Chenshuang knew perfectly well what the Empress Dowager's health was like. Although there had been some improvement, she was still on the verge of death.
Regarding the Empress Dowager's remaining lifespan, Mu Chenshuang still held the same assessment as before: at most, she would live for two more years.
The Empress Dowager once said that she was able to recover from a serious illness thanks to Mu Chenshuang, who claimed that she had saved her lifespan from the clutches of the King of Hell. Although this statement was somewhat exaggerated, it was not entirely without reason.
Everyone knows that without Mu Chenshuang, the Empress Dowager would never have recovered to her current state.
In other words, perhaps the Empress Dowager has already passed away.
Mu Chenshuang and Granny Yun walked and talked, and soon arrived at Ning'an Palace, where the Empress Dowager lived.
"Her Majesty the Empress Dowager prefers tranquility, so the entire palace has been decorated simply. I hope the Princess will not find it boring."
"How could that be? It's best to follow the Empress Dowager's preferences."
The palace maids and eunuchs nearby bowed when they saw the two enter, but Granny Yun simply nodded and they stepped aside.
Upon reaching the door, Granny Yun hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped.
Mu Chenshuang deliberately slowed her pace and asked in a low voice, "Does Granny have something to say?"
Granny Yun sighed, a look of worry that hadn't appeared on her face in a long time.
