Chapter 1512 - One Thing Leads to Another (2)

“Sister —” The fifth princess pursed her lips and looked up at her sister in regret.

Jun Wuxia appeased her in a sympathetic tone. “Honey, you’re too old to take a fall like that. Watch where you’re going. Does it hurt? Are you alright?”

Her sister said pitifully, “Sister, I’m fine. But the fish... I was going to give it to Her Majesty, but now —”

Jun Wuxia patted her on the head. “Honey, how sweet. You’re still thinking of Her Majesty after taking a fall like that. I’ll send Her Majesty your regards. Now, go get your wounds treated.”

The poor princess was sent away just like that.

Jun Wuxia, on the other hand, went to see the empress dowager with the roast fish.

Right now, the empress dowager had already woken up, but she looked very malnourished after only eating vegetables for so many days, and she felt so weak that she could barely open her eyes.

“Your Majesty, Your Majesty —”

The empress dowager was whimpering in bed when she heard someone calling her.

She looked over her shoulder and saw that it was Jun Wuxia.

She had never liked this granddaughter and was rather impatient to see the girl.

She closed her eyes and ignored Jun Wuxia.

Jun Wuxia cursed her grandmother in her head, but she still smiled brightly.

“Your Majesty, look what I’ve brought you.” Jun Wuxia showed the fish to the old lady.

“Gosh, is that a roast moon fish?!” The empress dowager’s eyes lit up.

Jun Wuxia nodded. “Yes, it is. I heard that it tastes amazing. Your Majesty, would you like to try it?”

Recalling that it was Feng Wu who roasted the moon fish, the empress dowager immediately lost all interest. She waved weakly. “No, I don’t want it. Take it away.”

Jun Wuxia was dumbfounded, because the rumor was that the empress dowager wanted to eat the fish. Had she been misinformed?

“But Your Majesty, I roasted this fish myself. Won’t you give it a go?”

“You roasted it?” The empress dowager’s face lit up. “You made it? Not that brat Feng Wu?”

Hearing the change in her tone, Jun Wuxia immediately nodded. “That’s right. I roasted it myself. Your Majesty, please try it. It smells really nice. Your Majesty —”

She swayed the empress dowager’s arm back and forth as she pleaded with her.

The empress dowager usually doted on Jun Linyuan alone and ignored everyone else, so Jun Wuxia had never dared to do this.

However, she was lying there now and looked very weak, which made her seem much less aggressive, so Jun Wuxia took the chance.

Despite her usual pride, the empress dowager didn’t turn the girl down. She only glanced at Jun Wuxia and said, “Alright.”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

She swallowed as she spoke.

It was just that the roast fish smelled so nice. More precisely, the aroma from earlier had made such an impression on the empress dowager that she now thought that roast fish was the most delicious food in the world!

She swallowed so hard that even Jun Wuxia could see it.

“So, the old hag is a foodie!” Jun Wuxia thought to herself. Thinking that she had found the empress dowager’s weakness, she was thrilled.

At the same time.

Seeing Feng Xun return empty-handed, Feng Wu asked in bewilderment, “Hey, did you throw away both of your roast fish?”
