The crown prince snorted and looked slightly more satisfied.
Feng Xun and Xuan Yi shared the other fish.
Just then —
“Miss Feng Wu, Miss Feng Wu! Help! Please help us!”
The one leading the team was Laxue, the most capable maid working under Granny Lan.
Because Laxue had been the one to come and get Feng Wu each time, Feng Wu recognized the young maid.
“What’s wrong?” Feng Xun wolfed down his half of the fish and mumbled the question.
“Her Majesty isn’t feeling well and has fainted again!” Laxue said hastily, sounding anxious.
Feng Wu raised her head and looked surprised.
“That’s impossible.” Feng Wu gave it some thought and said, “If Her Majesty’s following the diet I stipulated, nothing should happen.”
Laxue dropped to her knees and begged Feng Wu in tears. “There’s really something wrong with Her Majesty! Please help her! Please!”
Jun Linyuan had already risen to his feet.
Feng Wu stood up in resignation and said, “Alright, l’ll go have a look. But —”
She glanced at Jun Linyuan over her shoulder. “But if Her Majesty insists that I can’t treat her, I’m not going to beg her.”
Jun Linyuan rubbed her head.
Although he didn’t seem to have paid any attention to what was going on, he actually knew everything and was aware of what Feng Wu had to put up with.
“No problem.”
Jun Linyuan flicked Feng Wu’s forehead with his long finger.
They soon arrived at the empress dowager’s tent.
Although it was only a temporary tent, as the empress dowager’s residence, it was still spacious, clean, and fully equipped with everything. The place was elegantly decorated, which lifted one’s mood.
“Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please wake up. Please! The doctor’s here!” Granny Lan shouted and shouted, but the empress dowager only grunted and couldn’t form a coherent sentence.
Her head had gone numb and her eyes were glassy. She was curled up in bed and trembling uncontrollably. White foam had gathered at the corners of her mouth.
The empress dowager looked at Feng Wu with unfocused eyes when she walked up to her, and could no longer recognize the girl.
Feng Wu sat down by the bed and checked the empress dowager’s pulse.
Everyone, Emperor Wu included, looked at Feng Wu without batting an eyelash.
They all tried to find some hint from the look on Feng Wu’s face to figure out what the empress dowager’s condition was.
However —
Feng Wu remained unperturbed and didn’t let her face reveal anything. Even Emperor Wu, who was great at reading people, couldn’t tell a thing, let alone the others.
That was the amazing thing about Feng Wu.
Feng Wu was a lot quicker at checking a pulse than other people. With one touch, she knew that the empress dowager had been poisoned by the tickling powder.
She glanced around the room and immediately saw the half-eaten fish.
“Did Her Majesty eat this roast fish?”
Granny Lan nodded repeatedly. “That’s right. Her Royal Highness, the third princess, brought it here, but Her Majesty didn’t eat much.”
Feng Wu looked at Feng Xun.
Feng Xun looked embarrassed.
“Princess Jun Wuxia brought the fish here? Is it really…” Feng Xun’s stomach lurched, and he looked at Feng Wu.
“It’s so itchy. So itchy…” The empress dowager tossed and turned in bed and felt miserable.
The empress dowager was already very weak, and the tickling powder only worsened her condition.
