Chapter 898: Chapter 610: The Emperor Finally Says Those Three Words, Taking the Child to Grandmother’s_2

The Empress paused in her movement to cover the Emperor with the blanket. If not for the very clear words "I’m sorry," she would have thought she was hearing things.

The Emperor actually said he was sorry to her?

Eunuch Li, who stood nearby, also heard, but it wasn’t as clear to him; he thought he must have heard wrong and left with the medicine bowl.

The Empress watched as the Emperor closed his eyes, having just taken his medicine; he was likely to fall asleep easily.

She adjusted the blanket properly and continued to sit by his side, waiting.

By evening, the Empress, who had not slept for a day and a night, couldn’t hold on any longer. She looked at the Emperor lying on the bed and began to loosen her clothing.

Soon, she had taken off her luxurious robes and climbed into bed beside the Emperor.

For so many years, she had never stayed overnight in Yangxin Hall; although the Emperor had suggested it several times, she simply would not stay in Yangxin Hall.

Thus, over the years, it had always been the Emperor visiting her in Fengyi Palace.

Thinking back, she realized that her temper had indeed been terrible, often lashing out at the Emperor with hardly a few words exchanged.

These past two years had been even worse; she often shut him out completely.

Considering he was the ruler of a nation and had been the favored child of heaven since his youth, he was also a man who valued face.

Yet she kept denying him face, making him wait outside in vain.

The Empress sighed, looking at the Emperor’s complexion, which showed no signs of improvement, "Once you get better, I will never be harsh with you again."

Early the next day, Feng Wuyou and her two treasures followed their old father back to the East Palace. As soon as they arrived, the two little ones couldn’t wait to go play with the tigers, lions, and Dabai.

"Old father, aren’t you worried at all?"

Jun Moqing asked, "Worried about what?"

Feng Wuyou explained, "Several days have passed and there’s still no news of her. Aren’t you afraid you won’t see her again?"

Only then did Jun Moqing understand the meaning behind his daughter’s words. Of course, he was anxious, afraid that if he missed this chance, he might never have the opportunity to confirm if it was truly her.

"Such matters cannot be rushed."

Feng Wuyou nodded in agreement, "That’s true; after so many years, a moment more or less doesn’t count. As for fate, when the time is right, we will meet naturally."

Just then, Eunuch Li hurried in and, upon seeing Feng Wuyou, hardly had time to catch his breath before saying, "Crown Princess, you’re finally back. The Emperor is critically ill, and the Imperial Doctors are at a loss. Doctor Wen said the Crown Princess has a way to cure him; is that true?"

Feng Wuyou was slightly shocked by the news. The Emperor had been fine before she left the palace; how could he suddenly fall ill?

"Take me to see him first."

Upon hearing this, Eunuch Li knew that the Crown Princess had a method.

"Very well."

Feng Wuyou turned to Chun Xi, "Bring my medicine box here."

"As you command, Master," Chun Xi replied and turned to run into the bedchamber.

Feng Wuyou lifted her skirt hem and quickly followed.

Once they arrived at Yangxin Hall, Eunuch Li entered first, "Empress, the Crown Princess has arrived."

The Empress immediately stood up and asked, "Where is she?"

Feng Wuyou entered with long strides, her eyes filled with dark circles and heavy with red veins, clearly showing a lack of sleep.

She approached, "Mother, your child has come."

The Empress grasped Feng Wuyou’s hand as if grasping a lifeline, "Doctor Wen said you know medical techniques, is that true? Quickly, please examine the Emperor? His high fever has persisted for two days."

Feng Wuyou had never seen the Empress so anxious. She replied, "Let your child take the Emperor’s pulse first."

The Empress nodded, "Very well."

After sitting down on a chair, Feng Wuyou pulled back the blanket and took the Emperor’s burning hand; she took his pulse with a puzzled expression.

The Empress stood by, watching the Emperor intently, her heart filled with urgency.

After the pulse examination, the Empress couldn’t wait to ask, "Crown Princess, how is it? Do you have a way to reduce the fever?"

Feng Wuyou said, "Mother, the Emperor’s condition is due to an accumulation of toxins on top of overexertion day and night, which is why he has been unable to recover and the fever persists. I will prepare some medicine, and after the Emperor drinks it, the fever should recede."

Upon hearing this, the Empress finally breathed a slight sigh of relief, then immediately asked, "What toxins?"

Feng Wuyou explained, "The toxins come from daily items and food. After accumulating over time, the body cannot withstand it any longer. We should pay more attention to the Emperor’s diet and belongings in the future."

Having been in the palace for so many years and having witnessed countless palace intrigues, the Empress immediately understood the implications of Feng Wuyou’s words.

"I understand. I will look into this matter."

At that moment, Chun Xi ran in carrying the medicine box. When Feng Wuyou approached the box, Chun Xi had already opened it.
