Feng Anxue's face turned ugly. "You..." But she quickly calmed down and snorted coldly, "Princess Weiyang is just making excuses. I think you're just scared."
"I have no fear. If I am innocent, then who will take responsibility for the rumors that I am a witch doctor?"
Feng Anxue gritted her teeth, "If Princess Weiyang is not a witch doctor, then that directly proves your innocence."
This bluntly means that even if Mu Chenshuang is slandered, it's a trivial matter.
If it were anyone else, it wouldn't matter, but Mu Chenshuang is, after all, a second-rank princess of Weiyang, with a high status and the powerful Marquis Mu behind her.
However, Feng Anxue's words completely disregarded Mu Chenshuang and the Mu family.
Mu Chenshuang lowered her eyes, and before she could speak, Feng Guche said sternly, "Anxue!"
Feng Guche's voice pulled Feng Anxue back to reality. Realizing that she had said something rash in anger, she quickly nodded and lowered her head, "Father."
“Princess Weiyang is of noble status. Even if you are a princess, you cannot speak so presumptuously.”
Even if Feng Anxue had a lot of dissatisfaction in her heart, she dared not say anything more and could only reply, "Father is right to reprimand me. I was too excited."
If there had been others present who had heard Feng Anxue's words just now, it would have been hard not to suspect that Feng Anxue was intentionally targeting Mu Chenshuang.
Fortunately, no one else is present at the moment, so even if Feng Anxue says something outrageous, Feng Guche will not punish her in any substantial way, but will only say a few words like this.
Mu Chenshuang was well aware of this.
Feng Guche didn't say anything more, and looked down at Mu Chenshuang, saying, "Princess Weiyang, please rise!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Mu Chenshuang stood up.
Feng Guche looked at her and said, "Since Princess Weiyang was able to save the Empress Dowager before, why didn't you go forward to check on the Empress Dowager's condition yesterday?"
Mu Chenshuang explained, "The matter happened suddenly, and I dared not step forward rashly. If Your Majesty trusts me, you may allow me to investigate the Empress Dowager's condition again."
Feng Guche's expression was serious. "Princess Weiyang, can you guarantee that you can cure the Empress Dowager as well as you did last time?"
Even though Mu Chenshuang was certain in her heart, she did not give a definite answer. She only said, "All treatments have risks. I cannot be sure that I can cure the Empress Dowager, but I am at least 50% confident."
“Okay.” Feng Guche readily agreed.
Feng Anxue secretly glanced at Qi Zhen. They had finally reached this point, but her father had actually sent Mu Chenshuang to treat the Empress Dowager.
Qi Zhen's eyes were complicated, and he didn't say anything more. He was terrified. Mu Chenshuang was probably not simple. According to the time, the Empress Dowager should have fallen seriously ill by this time last night, but there was still no news from Cining Palace.
Thinking of Mu Chenshuang's recent trip to Cining Palace, his heart sank.
Then.
The group followed Feng Guche to Cining Palace.
When Mu Chenshuang arrived at the inner palace, the Empress and the Imperial Noble Consort were there guarding the Empress Dowager.
The two paid their respects to Feng Guche, who then told them to leave.
The Empress glanced at Mu Chenshuang with surprise, wondering what the Emperor meant by bringing her alone to the Empress Dowager's palace at this time, but she couldn't ask any more questions at the moment.
After the two people left.
Mu Chenshuang stepped forward, sat on the edge of the bed, and took the Empress Dowager's pulse. In fact, when she came to take the pulse this morning, she noticed that the Empress Dowager's pulse was very weak, but now that she was facing Feng Guche, there were some things that were not the time to say, so she could only pretend that she knew nothing.
