With the gold medal bestowed by the Emperor, Mu Chenshuang entered Cining Palace through the palace gates without any hindrance.
Throughout the journey, Mu Chenshuang, with a cold expression and furrowed brows, subconsciously lifted the curtain and looked out from the palanquin, surveying the entire palace.
With its vermilion walls and golden tiles, it stands tall and majestic.
Although the palace still stands majestically, it somehow gives off a sense of oppression and eeriness, as if an invisible hand controls this vast palace and everyone within it.
"Princess Weiyang, this way please." Upon learning that Mu Chenshuang had arrived at Cining Palace, Granny Yun came to greet her personally.
The palanquin came to a stop, and Mu Chenshuang gracefully stepped out, lifting her skirt, and nodded to Granny Yun, "Okay."
Although it was only a few steps away from the main hall where the Empress Dowager was bedridden, Mu Chenshuang still learned a lot of useful information from Granny Yun.
"His Majesty visited the Empress Dowager these past few days. He was very worried about her condition." Granny Yun trusted Mu Chenshuang and tried hard to recall what had happened in the past few days, afraid of missing any detail.
"His Majesty's complexion wasn't good either. When he arrived, the Imperial Noble Consort personally helped him to Cining Palace." Thinking of this, Granny Yun couldn't help but sigh.
She thought that if the Empress Dowager were lucid at this moment, she would probably be just as worried and sleepless day and night if she saw the Emperor like this.
"The Emperor came twice, but each time he only stayed for a short while before leaving, less than a quarter of an hour."
As Granny Yun continued speaking, Mu Chenshuang, whose pace had slowed, couldn't help but raise an eyebrow and ponder.
Looking at it now, it's clear that the Emperor and the Imperial Noble Consort are inseparable, like shadows. This can't be explained by mere affection or infatuation; it's as if the Emperor completely relies on the Imperial Noble Consort.
Could it be that the person behind the scenes controlling the palace has already gained such control over the emperor?
Unfortunately, the Emperor is in poor condition and has fewer and fewer moments of lucidity. She is very worried that if this continues, Emperor Feng Guche will become a complete puppet.
By then, Feng Guche's throne will already be in the hands of the person behind him. As long as that person is happy, he can get rid of Feng Guche, who has become a puppet, and take the throne for himself at any time.
Unconsciously, the image of Feng Moran's alluring yet effeminate face appeared in Mu Chenshuang's mind, along with his venomous and sinister eyes, sending a chill down her spine.
The voice of Granny Yun still echoed in her ears, and Mu Chenshuang, feeling a chill in her heart, trembled slightly and came back to her senses.
"Ji Luoyan also came to pay her respects to the Empress Dowager the day before yesterday, but I refused her request to see her, saying that the Empress Dowager was still asleep." Since Mu Chenshuang treated the Empress Dowager last time, the Empress Dowager's condition has improved a lot, and Granny Yun has kept her instructions from that day in mind.
Mu Chenshuang breathed a sigh of relief and nodded to Granny Yun, saying, "Granny, you did the right thing. What you did did protect the Empress Dowager."
As the two were talking, they had already stepped into the Empress Dowager's bedroom.
"Granny, if anyone asks later, just say I came to accompany the Empress Dowager, and just say that I was powerless to cure her illness this time." The large bedchamber was very quiet, and although Mu Chenshuang's voice was not loud, Granny Yun heard it very clearly.
Granny Yun was taken aback and asked with some confusion, "Why? Princess Weiyang, your medical skills are superb, even surpassing those of the Spirit Doctor."
"If the Emperor knew that you were treating the Empress Dowager and could cure her, wouldn't that be a wonderful thing? You would certainly be willing to offer a reward for it."
