Chapter 1502 - It… Was… Her?!!!

Because the empress dowager didn’t like Feng Wu, no one had told her that Feng Wu was her savior to begin with, and that this diet was her design as well.

“Was it Master Chu? I ran into him on my way here, but he didn’t say anything about the diet.” Mrs Zuo was smirking inwardly.

She knew what everyone was trying to hide and what the empress dowager hated. If the news had to come out eventually, why not now?

Granny Lan said, “Well...”

She darted a warning glance at Mrs Zuo, hoping that she wouldn’t create more trouble.

However, Mrs Zuo had made up her mind, and Granny Lan just wasn’t important enough to stop her.

The empress dowager frowned. “Didn’t Master Chu prescribe this diet?”

Granny Lan said, “Well...”

Seeing the way Granny Lan stammered, the empress dowager immediately saw what was going on. She grabbed Granny Lan and stared at her with cold, sharp eyes.

She said, “Granny Lan, you’ve worked in the palace all your life. You grew up with me, entered the palace with me, and you were there the entire time until I became who I am. But now, you’re keeping things from me? Speak! What’s this about?!”

Once the empress dowager saw what was going on, it wasn’t that easy to fool her anymore. Seeing that things were getting out of hand, Granny Lan shot warning glances at the young maids outside so that they could inform Emperor Wu.

However, the two ladies had also come with maids, and they were doing everything they could stop the young maids. Hence —

“Do you want me to kill you with my own hands?!”

The empress dowager stared at Granny Lan with eyes that could spit fire!

After eating food without salt, sugar, or oil for over two weeks, the empress dowager was on the verge of breaking down.

Sighing inwardly, Granny Lan said sorry to Feng Wu in her head, and —

“Your Majesty, please don’t get excited. Can you sit down and hear me out?”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Having served the empress dowager for so many years, Granny Lan was able to calm the empress dowager down with a few sentences and made her sit down.

“Tell me now!” The empress dowager glowered.

Granny Lan crouched down in front of the empress dowager, held her hands, and looked into her eyes.

She said, “Your Majesty, we didn’t mean to keep it from you, but because of your condition earlier, we decided to keep you in the dark for the time being, but we didn’t mean to. Your health is always our priority.”

The empress dowager wasn’t as angry when she heard that. She snorted with a stern look on her face. “Speak!”

Granny Lan smiled bitterly. “Your condition was so severe two weeks ago that your life was hanging in the balance, but Master Chu... He had no confidence in curing Your Majesty at all.”

“What?!” The empress dowager stared at Granny Lan. “It wasn’t Master Chu who saved me?!”

Granny Lan kept her gaze on the empress dowager and nodded solemnly.

“It wasn’t him? That’s impossible —” The empress dowager was dumbfounded. “Master Chu is the most capable imperial physician in the convoy this time. If he couldn’t help me, who did it in the end —”

All of a sudden!

An idea struck her.

And the idea astonished her.

She looked like she had been struck by lightning.

“It... was... her?!!!”
