Chapter 1503: Unt.i.tled
The empress dowager was completely dumbfounded.
Taking the empress dowager’s hands, Granny Lan looked solemnly into her eyes. “Your Majesty, we all know that you don’t like her, nor would you accept her treatment, but it was very urgent —”
“How dare you?! How?!!!”
The empress dowager threw Granny Lan’s hands off and glared at her. “You people know perfectly well how much I dislike her, but you still did it! d.a.m.n you all!”
She was so infuriated that she saw stars. She stumbled and almost fainted.
“Your Majesty —”
Everyone cried out in astonishment.
Granny Lan caught the old lady in time.
“Go get the doctor! Now!” she said hastily.
Mrs Dugu and Mrs Zuo exchanged awkward looks.
Only then did they start feeling scared.
If something really happened to the empress dowager, His Majesty would definitely punish them for it.
Master Chu’s tent was only a short distance away, so he arrived in no time.
He frowned after examining the empress dowager and said, “Her Majesty was just too angry, hence the episode. Luckily, we still have the dragon wood fiber powder from Miss Feng Wu. Otherwise, I can’t imagine what could have happened.”
After that, Master Chu took a bottle out of his sleeve, unplugged it, and gave Granny Lan instructions. “Fill a small bowl with some warm water, melt a spoon of the powder in it, and feed it to Her Majesty.”
Granny Lan hesitated.
Master Chu prompted her, “Do it now. Otherwise, Her Majesty’s health may be damaged.”
Granny Lan took a deep breath, glanced at the two ladies, and remained silent.
The two ladies suddenly had a bad feeling, and Mrs Zuo was acutely aware of it, so she suggested that they leave.
Hasty footsteps came from outside.
And Emperor Wu rushed into the room at that moment.
“How’s Her Majesty doing?!” Emperor Wu looked concerned.
Master Chu then told Emperor Wu the diagnosis.
“It was because of anger?” Emperor Wu’s darkened even more. “How did that happen? Why was Her Majesty angry? Who did that to her?!”
Granny Lan stared at Mrs Dugu and Mrs Zuo.
Mrs Zuo’s survival instinct kicked in, and she immediately realized that Granny Lan was going to tell the truth, so she spoke first. “Your Majesty, Her Majesty was mad at Miss Feng Wu, because she learned that Feng Wu was her doctor.”
It was nicely done, and Emperor Wu was immediately angry at Feng Wu.
“Get Feng Wu here —”
“Your Majesty.” Just then, Granny Lan calmly interjected. She bowed at Emperor Wu and spoke in an unperturbed tone. “Her Majesty didn’t know at first —”
The two ladies glared at Granny Lan.
“How dare you?!”
However, they had underestimated Granny Lan’s aplomb and courage.
Keeping her gaze on Emperor Wu, Granny Lan said, “Mrs Dugu and Mrs Zuo worked together to reveal the truth to Her Majesty, which was why Her Majesty fainted in an infuriated state.”
Emperor Wu stared at Mrs Dugu and Mrs Zuo with cold, murderous eyes.
He looked like he was ready to kill someone!
Because he had made it very clear that no one was to reveal the truth to the empress dowager!
But these two people!
“Your Majesty, please forgive us!” Frightened, Mrs Dugu and Mrs Zuo dropped to their knees and trembled from head to toe.
