However, the old lady had just excoriated Feng Wu. She was so reluctant to ask Feng Wu to treat her grandson again.
Was the empress dowager the type to apologize for what she said? Never.
Hence, she glared at Feng Wu. “Did you not hear him? Do your job!”
Feng Wu wanted to retort, but —
Emperor Wu turned to her. “Go treat the crown prince now. You’ll be generously rewarded afterward.”
Feng Wu was lost for words.
Both the emperor and the empress dowager were colossal figures. Compared with them, she was as powerless as an ant. What other choice did she have, except to obey?
She couldn’t even let her reluctance show on her face.
“Of course.” Feng Wu went up to Jun Linyuan and activated the green light again. Soon, Jun Linyuan’s temperature was back to normal, but this time, he grabbed Feng Wu’s hand.
Feng Wu: !!!
She pulled with all her strength, but couldn’t draw her hand back.
The empress dowager watched in disbelief.
She could cut off as many sleeves as she wanted, but she couldn’t do that to Feng Wu’s hand.
Feng Wu turned to Emperor Wu and the empress dowager with a pleading look in her eyes.
Emperor Wu waved her off. “Little Feng Wu, it’ll be a while before the crown prince recovers from his critical condition. Stay here and look after him.”
Feng Wu didn’t like the sound of that at all.
She needed to go back home to her mother now, and there was so much more that she needed to take care of. After that row she had with Feng Yanfeng, who knew what that man would do?
“But my family…”
“Don’t worry. After what you did for the crown prince, the empress dowager will raise your mother’s status to a first rank Dame. No one will dare offend her again. Your top priority now is to take good care of the crown prince.”
Patting Feng Wu on the shoulder, Emperor Wu sighed with relief, then left the room.
The empress dowager, on the other hand, glared at Feng Wu.
What was with that look on her face? She wouldn’t let that girl stay if she had a choice!
“Hmph!”
The old lady flipped her sleeves and stormed out of the room.
The empress dowager began to complain to Emperor Wu as soon as they were out of the room. “What’s with that look on her face?! She was so reluctant! Does she not want to be around the crown prince? What is she thinking? She’s in no position to dislike a boy as brilliant as my grandson!”
The empress dowager hated it when girls wouldn’t leave the crown prince alone, but she couldn’t stand it when they weren’t in love with the teenager either.
Taking his mother’s arm, Emperor Wu slowly led her away. “Mother, I thought you didn’t like the idea of them as a couple. If that’s the case, you should be relieved to see that Feng Wu isn’t in love with him.”
The empress dowager rolled her eyes at her son. “That’s not how it works!”
Emperor Wu asked, “How so?”
The old lady snorted. “It’s only natural that Baby Jun doesn’t like her, but I don’t like the fact that she’s not in love with him!”
Emperor Wu gave her a wry smile. “Mother, isn’t that a bit… unreasonable?”
The empress dowager scowled. “No, it’s not. Of course she should be in love with him!”
Emperor Wu rubbed his nose and shook his head in resignation.
An idea struck him all of a sudden. “Mother, I have an idea. Little Feng Wu actually has turned out to be an ideal choice for Jun Linyuan. She’s a great doctor, she’s pretty, smart, and she has her cultivation ability back…”
His mother glared at him. “What are you getting at?!”
Emperor Wu said, “Well, a beautiful, smart, and talented girl is hard to come by, not to mention someone as exceptional as Feng Wu. I think we should let them have a go.”
“No!” The empress dowager rejected it outright.
“But why?”
The old lady said, “I don’t care how exceptional she is. She doesn’t care for the crown prince at all, and for that reason alone, I won’t allow her to marry him!”
