The empress dowager glared at Feng Wu. “Don’t you know what you’ve done?!”
Feng Wu smiled wryly, “Grandmother, please tell me what I did wrong.”
That infuriated the empress dowager again.
“Jun Linyuan, are you really that stupid? Have you forgotten who you are? You’re the crown prince, and you’ll rule the Junwu Empire one day! What are you doing?
“You don’t care about your health at all. You’re sleeping on the ground and letting the girl sleep on the bed!
“Have you lost your mind?!” The empress dowager jabbed Feng Wu’s forehead with a finger. “She’s the maid! She should be looking after you and sleeping on the ground! Use your brain!”
The empress dowager wouldn’t stop scolding Jun Linyuan, and he could only listen.
Feng Wu saw his face turn dark.
She couldn’t help but chuckle.
“Why are you smiling? Stop it!” The old lady hit Feng Wu’s butt with her walking stick. “You’re such a fool! That girl is making you forget who you are!”
Feng Wu said, “Grandmother, please don’t be mad. You’ll give yourself a headache.”
The empress dowager said, “If I die, you’re to blame!
“Gosh, my head…” The empress dowager felt dizzy.
Feng Wu immediately helped the old lady sit down. She checked her pulse and said, “Your Majesty, you need to calm down. You’re stressing yourself out.”
“I’m stressed out because of you!” The empress dowager thumped her walking stick on the ground and glared at “Jun Linyuan.”
Feng Wu asked, “What’s wrong?”
The empress dowager said, “Don’t you know? That Ranmil is no kitten. I’ve been watching her. Your father was mad at her before we set out, but the two of them did something in the carriage, and when they got out, your father looked refreshed. Plus, he was holding Consort Ranmil’s hand.”
Feng Wu said, “That’s impressive.”
The empress dowager glared at Feng Wu. “Do you know where Consort Ranmil is now?”
Feng Wu asked, “Where?”
The empress dowager said angrily, “She’s gone to the empress! That woman has been losing ground, and her son is nothing compared with you. Her side was going to be doomed, but then, this Ranmil showed up.
“One look and you know that she’s a tough one. She used to like you, but now, she’s with the emperor. What a foolish son I have!
“But you’re the one to blame. If you had accepted her, she would never have had the chance to obtain your father’s favor or join hands with the empress. Of course, you’re perfect. It’s all her fault!”
The empress dowager complained to Feng Wu.
“Ahem — Grandma, it’s not like that.” Feng Wu helped the empress dowager sit down and said patiently, “Grandma, that Ranmil confessed her love for me first, but when I turned her down, she immediately went to my father. That kind of woman…”
The empress dowager smacked the table. “You’re right! She’s not good enough for you!”
Feng Wu sighed. “Grandma, just think about it. Would that woman stay faithful if I married her?”
