Emperor Wu found it suspicious. “You don’t look happy. Do you still have objections about Feng Wu?”
“No!” Of course Empress Dugu couldn’t admit her jealousy. That would mean she had been telling lies until now.
The emperor could allow mistakes, but he wouldn’t tolerate lies.
She put on the most professional smile. “Your Majesty, I’ll come with you.”
The empress dowager resided in Cining Palace.
She hadn’t been feeling well these days and had been spending most of her time in bed.
Granny Lan asked gently, “Your Majesty, shall we summon Miss Feng Wu to have a look?”
The empress dowager darted a stern look at her.
Granny Lan was on Feng Wu’s team, but she wasn’t the empress dowager’s only maid.
Granny Zhu moved closer and said, “Firmament Palace has great doctors, and Miss Zuo Qingluan is their sacred lady. I’m sure she’s wonderful.”
The empress dowager didn’t say yes, but she didn’t say no either.
Of course, she knew what Zuo Qingluan could do.
She used to like the girl, but the girl seemed to have her secret agenda, so the old lady didn’t like her that much anymore.
Seeing that the empress dowager didn’t say no, Granny Zhu moved closer and whispered, “Not only is Miss Zuo Qingluan a great doctor, she’s also very pretty. Most importantly, she’s the only one with True Phoenix Blood in our empire.”
Granny Lan frowned. “With the True Phoenix Blood, she’s indeed more efficient in her cultivation, but…”
The empress dowager favored Granny Zhu recently, so Granny Zhu glanced at Granny Lan and went on, “Your Majesty, you’ve been lying in bed all the time. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with your health. I think you just have nothing to do.”
The empress dowager’s face darkened. What was she supposed to be doing then?
Granny Zhu said, “Your Majesty, if His Royal Highness gets married and has a baby, you can watch the baby running around in the palace. Cining Palace will be so much more lively!”
The empress dowager was persuaded.
That was so true!
Baby Jun had been the most amazing boy. He was so handsome and so smart that the most arrogant elders had to recognize his capability!
If he had a baby…
The empress dowager said, “Only the most beautiful and precious girl can have Baby Jun’s child!”
Granny Zhu smiled. “Of course. Your Majesty, His Royal Highness already has an excellent bloodline. If the mother also has an outstanding one, it’ll be a perfect match!”
The empress dowager’s eyes lit up.
Granny Lan lowered her head and smiled wryly.
Everything Granny Zhu said was to bring up Zuo Qingluan and her True Phoenix Blood.
Granny Lan felt sorry for Feng Wu. She would be perfect if she hadn’t lost her True Phoenix Blood. What a pity.
Granny Zhu took the empress dowager’s hand. “Your Majesty, which girl in the Junwu Empire do you think has the most precious bloodline?”
