“Princess, the political situation in the court is very unpredictable. You should not get involved in this matter and risk getting yourself into trouble.” Feng Ji thought of Fu Junheng’s instructions and could not let Mu Chenshuang put herself in danger.
Moreover, Fu Junheng would never break his promise, and he couldn't break his promise either; he had to protect Mu Chenshuang and the child in her womb.
Mu Chenshuang was silent for a moment after hearing this. Of course, she knew that Feng Ji was worried about her and what he was thinking. But this matter was of great importance. She could stay out of the public eye now, but she couldn't stay out of the public eye forever.
Although I thought this way, I didn't say it out loud.
After a long period of contemplation, Mu Chenshuang raised her head and nodded to Feng Ji.
"These letters are crucial evidence pointing to the person behind this, and are of great importance. For the sake of the princess's safety, please keep them with me for now," said the handsome Feng Ji with a deep gaze.
Mu Chenshuang, who was originally getting up to say goodbye and tidying up her letters, paused her actions upon hearing this, looked up and agreed.
“Okay.” Mu Chenshuang said as she continued to sort through the letters.
She also knew the importance of these letters. Now, with Lu Wei and her two daughters watching her closely from the Jingbian Marquis's residence, keeping these letters with her was indeed not very safe.
"Your Highness, I shall take my leave now." Mu Chenshuang stood up. Today was the day she was to enter the palace to continue treating the Empress Dowager with acupuncture. It was almost time for her to leave for the palace.
Feng Ji, who then got up, did not ask Mu Chenshuang why she was in such a hurry to leave, but personally saw her out of the palace.
"Linglong, take these things and go back to the manor first. I'll go straight to the palace." After instructing Linglong that she could take the carriage of the Prince of Xiaoyao's manor back, Mu Chenshuang got into another carriage without looking back.
Inside the Cining Palace.
The vast hall was empty and quiet, with only Mu Chenshuang, the Empress Dowager, and Granny Yun present.
"How has the Empress Dowager been eating these past few days?" While the Empress Dowager was still unconscious, Mu Chenshuang carefully checked her condition.
The Empress Dowager's sickly thin wrists were still quite supple, and Mu Chenshuang seemed to have gained some weight, which at least indicated that the Empress Dowager's appetite had been good recently.
Granny Yun recalled earnestly, "Although the amount of food we eat three meals a day is still not as much as it was at the beginning, our appetite has indeed improved a lot compared to the first half month. In addition, the Empress Dowager will also ask me to prepare some desserts, so we can at least eat some."
Mu Chenshuang, who had just lowered the Empress Dowager's wrist, nodded and asked, "Will the Empress Dowager continue to ramble on incoherently these days?"
Granny Yun replied, "Not often, but it still happens occasionally. Now, she just stares at one spot for a long time, and sometimes she even smiles to herself."
Upon hearing this, Mu Chenshuang was overjoyed, as it at least indicated that the Empress Dowager's memory was slowly returning.
It seems she's found the right method; she just needs to keep at it.
Sitting to the side, Mu Chenshuang quickly opened her needle kit and began to administer acupuncture. When she was halfway through, the Empress Dowager seemed to feel a little uncomfortable and frowned slightly, but she did not seem to be waking up.
Mu Chenshuang paused for a moment before continuing to administer the acupuncture. Watching from the side, Granny Yun asked worriedly, "Was Her Majesty the Empress Dowager feeling unwell just now?"
"The Empress Dowager's condition is improving. Applying acupuncture to these acupoints is precisely to stimulate the meridians in the Empress Dowager's body to return to normal as soon as possible."
