The Eastern Palace.
Mu Chenshuang used the mother Gu to expel the Gu worms from Feng Xilan's body. She wrote a prescription and handed it to Chen Ping. Then, she looked at the weak Feng Xilan and said, "The Gu worms have been expelled. Your Highness will recover after drinking these doses of medicine."
Feng Xilan clutched his chest with his right hand. At that moment, he felt an immense emptiness, as if something was missing from his heart. Looking at Mu Chenshuang, he felt a stinging pain that seemed to entwine around him like vines, piercing his heart.
He personally pushed away the person he truly loved.
Mu Chenshuang noticed the change in Feng Xilan's eyes, and heard him say weakly, "I'm really sorry." His voice was full of helplessness and powerlessness.
How could Mu Chenshuang not notice the change in his eyes? The torment he had inflicted on the original owner in the past now felt like thorns pricking his entire body.
"Your Highness has already apologized, so there's no need to say it again. I no longer harbor any hatred towards Your Highness."
Feng Xilan lowered her eyes and chuckled, a laugh filled with sorrow, "That's good."
Saying more now would probably be pointless.
"Then I can still call you Shuang'er now."
Mu Chenshuang said calmly, "Your Highness, it would be better to address me by my title. The Mu Chenshuang of the past is long gone."
Feng Xilan's eyes trembled slightly, as if she was trying her best to suppress some emotion in her heart. Her clear voice, tinged with a sense of dejection, replied, "Okay."
Mu Chenshuang didn't say anything more. "Since His Highness the Crown Prince is alright, then I shall take my leave."
Feng Xilan did not stop her, "If you need anything in the future, you can come to the East Palace to ask me for help at any time."
Mu Chenshuang: "Thank you."
"I will investigate Xiao Qingyu's situation. I will let you know when I have any news."
Mu Chenshuang nodded, and then she left the East Palace and went to Cining Palace to visit the Empress Dowager.
Now, after the poisoning incident, the Empress Dowager's health is not as good as before. After all, she is old and her body is weak. Even if she is cured, her foundation has been shaken. She can judge that the Empress Dowager has at most three years left.
If she hadn't treated the Empress Dowager in time, she probably would have died long ago.
Just as Mu Chenshuang was about to have lunch with the Empress Dowager, a palace maid came to report, "Your Majesty, the Imperial Noble Consort has arrived."
The Empress Dowager said, "Let her in!"
"yes."
Immediately afterwards.
Cang Xixue walked in gracefully, dressed in a gorgeous brocade robe. Her steps were slow and gentle, exuding a noble and elegant temperament. Perhaps due to her years in the temple, she gave off a very Zen-like aura. The first impression one got from her was not fear of her high position, but a heartfelt reverence.
Such an imperial concubine should be easily loved and respected.
Cang Xixue paid her respects to the Empress Dowager, saying, "Today, I have prepared several dishes that should be very suitable for Your Majesty. Princess Weiyang is also here; she can take a look and confirm whether these dishes are beneficial to Your Majesty."
The fact that Mu Chenshuang was skilled in medicine had already spread throughout the palace, and Cang Xixue was naturally aware of it.
"yes!"
Cang Xixue had a palace maid bring the meal to Mu Chenshuang. Mu Chenshuang glanced at it, took a small spoonful, and tasted it.
He then put down his spoon and said, "These medicinal meals are indeed beneficial to the Empress Dowager's health, but they should not be consumed in excess; once every three days is sufficient."
The Empress Dowager's body can no longer absorb much nutrition; supplementing her with too much would be counterproductive.
"I have remembered what Princess Weiyang said."
"Alright, sit down and have your meal!" the Empress Dowager said.
After lunch.
Mu Chenshuang could clearly sense that the Empress Dowager was satisfied with Cang Xixue. The two got along very well, without much regard for hierarchy, and were more like family. The Empress Dowager was not even this close to the Empress. The relationship between the Empress Dowager and the Empress was more about etiquette and hierarchy.
