Fu Junheng added, "Because the toxins in my body have been brought under control and I have received some acupuncture treatment, my eyes are no longer as sensitive to light as before."
Fu Junheng explained that he no longer needed to wear glasses in public, so he deliberately explained this to the Empress Dowager.
Upon hearing this, and learning that Fu Junheng had only temporarily suppressed the toxins in his body but had not been completely cured, the Empress Dowager was immediately delighted.
It seems that even if she cannot replace Fu Junheng as crown prince in the future, Fu Junheng, with his body tormented by poison for years, will not be able to shoulder the heavy responsibility of the throne. In that case, the entire Xiyue Kingdom will still be in her hands.
Fu Junheng, his gaze serious, noticed that the Empress Dowager's guard and vigilance had visibly relaxed, and he knew that his words had gained her trust.
After a brief silence, the Empress Dowager, with sharp eyes and a smile on her face, looked at Fu Junheng and spoke.
"I heard you've already met with the Emperor. How is he?" The Empress Dowager's words were clearly probing.
Upon hearing this, Fu Junheng remained calm and said in a steady tone, "Father's condition doesn't seem very good, but fortunately it's still relatively stable. It's a blessing from heaven that I was able to return in time to be by Father's side in the days to come."
Upon hearing this, the Empress Dowager was startled. It seemed that Fu Junheng truly understood the Emperor's health condition very well.
Fu Junheng's last few words seemed to be a subtle warning to her. The Empress Dowager's smile became somewhat awkward and stiff. She looked up at the eunuch standing to her side, her gaze questioning, but the eunuch simply shook his head.
It seems that after Fu Junheng returned, she really did spend time alone with the emperor, otherwise the people she arranged wouldn't have failed to send any information over here.
Thinking of this, a hint of displeasure and dissatisfaction flashed in the Empress Dowager's eyes.
She haughtily raised her chin, as if to use her status as Empress Dowager to put pressure on Fu Junheng, "As expected, the Emperor trusts and loves you the most. You are his most valued Crown Prince. He must have said a lot to you today, right?"
The Empress Dowager, who was constantly testing him, saw that Fu Junheng was calm and composed, with no fluctuation in his golden eyes, as if he were very honest. This made the Empress Dowager feel a little anxious.
Seeing that Fu Junheng did not respond, she simply asked directly, "Has His Majesty entrusted you with something very important?"
Although the Empress Dowager didn't say it directly, her words were tantamount to being blunt, directly and directly questioning Fu Junheng about whether he had any imperial edicts or jade seals to hand over to him.
Fu Junheng had anticipated this question, so his expression remained completely calm, without a trace of panic or change.
Fu Junheng calmly replied, "I don't understand why the Empress Dowager is asking me this question. I haven't seen any of these things, so why did Father give them to me beforehand?"
The Empress Dowager was stunned by Fu Junheng's question. It made it seem as if the Empress Dowager had been coveting these two things all along.
The embarrassed Empress Dowager suddenly felt a lump in her throat, and her expression instantly became arrogant.
"What does the Crown Prince mean by this?" The Empress Dowager's eyes widened, as if she was about to fly into a rage and confront Fu Junheng.
Fu Junheng, however, did not care and said in a nonchalant manner, "Your Majesty, please calm down. I am just wondering."
