If it were up to Emperor Wu, he would send the empress dowager back already. After all, it would take at least another ten days for them to reach the Senal Gra.s.sland, and the empress dowager wouldn’t be able to handle the journey.

However, the empress dowager wouldn’t listen.

She insisted that she had to go to the Senal Gra.s.sland!

When the old lady acted out, there was nothing Emperor Wu could do.

With no other choice, Emperor Wu had to summon Feng Wu for a discussion.

Feng Wu frowned. “The best option right now is for Her Majesty to go back to the palace and get some rest. This is a very big deal.”

Emperor Wu rubbed his forehead. “That’s what I thought, but the empress dowager is bent on going to the gra.s.sland, and I can’t stop her.”

Feng Wu gave Emperor Wu a resigned look. Of course he could stop her. He just couldn’t bring himself to do so.

“If Her Majesty insists on going to the Senal Gra.s.sland, then we’ll have to worry about a lot of things for the next few days. There are so many aspects we’ll have to be cautious about, both in relation to her diet and her daily life,” Feng Wu said with a frown.

Emperor Wu gave a wave of his hand. “In that case, why don’t you look after Her Majesty yourself?”

Feng Wu looked at Emperor Wu in resignation. “Your Majesty, are you sure that Her Majesty won’t flare up when she sees me, and rip open all her st.i.tches?”

Emperor Wu said, “Well…”

Feng Wu said, “But I’ll write down some dos and don’ts so that Granny Lan can pay more attention when she’s looking after Her Majesty. Along with my specially made pills, the wound will close up in three days. Everything should be fine then.”

“That’s great. Glad to hear that.” Emperor Wu was elated.

The empress dowager walked out from the inner room, supported by Granny Lan.

Right now, a white bandage was wrapped around the empress dowager’s head and she had a very pale face. However, she couldn’t look any more arrogant.

As soon as she came out and spotted Feng Wu, she frowned.

This time, she simply ignored Feng Wu and walked haughtily past her.

“Your Majesty!” The empress dowager greeted Emperor Wu.

Emperor Wu immediately went up to her. “Mother —”

“Master Chu was the one who had saved me from danger, wasn’t he?” The empress dowager greeted Master Chu in a benevolent manner.

Master Chu glanced at Feng Wu. He knew that Feng Wu was the only reason that the old lady was able to sit here safely. She would have been dead by now.

At that thought, Master Chu stepped out and said, “Your Majesty, actually, the chief doctor who helped you was —”

“Ahem —”

At that critical moment, Emperor Wu cleared his throat and cut Master Chu off.

Master Chu gave Emperor Wu a confused look.

Emperor Wu stared at him.

Master Chu immediately took the hint.

However, he did feel guilty for taking the credit.

Hence, Master Chu looked back at Feng Wu.

Feng Wu also nodded at Master Chu.

That was to say, she agreed as well.

Only then did Master Chu smile bitterly and said, “Actually, I did make a small contribution this time, but it was mostly thanks to Your Majesty’s own strength and G.o.d’s blessing.”

The empress dowager was happy to hear that, and she smiled. “I know I’m blessed, but your treatment was still necessary. I should thank you for that.”

She then glanced at Feng Wu before turning back to Master Chu. “I value you because unlike someone else, you don’t think that I can’t live without you.”

Everyone else around them fell silent.

They all lowered their heads and didn’t dare to look the empress dowager in the eye.
