“You can leave now!” The empress dowager couldn’t be bothered to tell Jun Wuxia off and just waved to send her on her way.
Jun Wuxia hesitated and wanted to say something, but she didn’t say a word in the end. She left the room after giving the empress dowager a bow.
The empress dowager had an odd feeling as soon as Jun Wuxia left.
But she couldn’t quite put her finger on it.
Granny Lan was keeping an eye on the empress dowager, and she panicked when she saw the old lady twisting and turning. “Your Majesty, what’s wrong? Are you not feeling well?”
The empress dowager scratched her throat. “It’s quite itchy here.”
Granny Lan paled. “Your throat? Anywhere else?”
The empress dowager rubbed her belly. “Here, too. It feels like a thousand ants are crawling under my clothes. I feel awful!”
Granny Lan’s face darkened.
“Argh —” All of a sudden, the empress dowager cried out, “It’s so itchy! My face is itchy, my body is itchy, and I feel itchy everywhere! Help me —”
The tickling powder was very effective. In a matter of minutes, the empress dowager was already whimpering in bed.
Granny Lan was terrified.
Because that was a very severe reaction!
She immediately summoned someone. “Go report to His Majesty, Master Chu, and, and Miss Feng Wu! Get Miss Feng Wu here!”
The empress dowager had a lot of servants, and they all dashed off in various directions.
They seemed so panic-stricken that everyone outside panicked along with them.
“What’s wrong? What’s wrong? So many people are coming out of Her Majesty’s place!”
“Is something wrong with Her Majesty again?”
“Oh, no. By the look of it, it has to be something severe!”
Because they all lived very close by, Emperor Wu soon heard about it.
His head was resting comfortably in Empress Dugu’s lap as she massaged his shoulder, when he heard the news. He immediately sprang up from the bed.
“Something’s wrong with Her Majesty again?!”
Emperor Wu felt like screaming.
What was wrong with his mother these days? Why was her life in danger all the time?
“Have you summoned Master Chu?” Emperor Wu shouted as he put on his robe.
“Your Majesty, someone has done so, but Master Chu did say before that he was going to go into the mountains to find some medicinal ingredients, so he may not be in the campsite right now.”
Emperor Wu flared up. “Go get Feng Wu, then!”
“Yes, of course —”
Right now, Feng Wu was roasting some fish while chatting with Feng Xun.
She was quite efficient. In a few seconds, she had roasted two fish already.
Feng Xun and Xuan Yi were about to fight for them, when they felt a cold, suffocating gaze.
They felt a chill run down their spines, and they turned their heads involuntarily.
It was Boss Jun!
There was no warmth in his eyes as he stared at the roast fish.
Feng Xun and Xuan Yi shuddered.
Without thinking, they gave one of the fish to Jun Linyuan.
Feng Xun nodded in an ingratiating manner.
“Boss Jun, please. Enjoy the fish.”
Not only did Feng Xun offer him the fish, he also placed it on a pretty porcelain plate along with some cutlery.
He and Xuan Yi had been eating the fish with their bare hands this whole time, which looked quite barbaric.
