Chapter 1523: Innocence (4)

How humiliating!

Jun Wuxia didn’t dare to even move a muscle!

It’s just a roast fish! Big deal!

But at that moment —

Someone walked into the tent.

It was none other than the empress dowager herself.

“Your Majesty, please go back and lie down.” Granny Lan was almost in tears.

Feng Wu had tended to the empress dowager already and had written her a prescription. However, the old lady had wandered off when Granny Lan went to prepare the concoction.

Following the aroma, she saw the empress dowager, who was hovering outside the tent.

The empress dowager threw Granny Lan’s hands off and cast a stern look at her. “Go away!”

After pushing Granny Lan away, the empress dowager quickly walked toward Feng Wu.

The others had already turned around when Granny Lan addressed the empress dowager, and all they saw was the haggard old lady walking in without her outer robe.

The empress dowager was always properly dressed and very tidy. But now, she was unbelievably casual.

“Mother —”

Emperor Wu rushed over toward his mother and held her hand.

But the empress dowager only pushed him away.

She headed straight for Feng Wu!

To be more precise, she was running toward the roast fish!

She was attracted by the aroma, but when she saw the roast fish, she looked disappointed!

Roast fish? She had tried it before and didn’t think much of it.

However, after taking a few steps in the opposite direction, the empress dowager stopped, turned around, and stared at the fish again.

Her gaze was glued to the fish. That was to say, although she was standing in front of Feng Wu, she didn’t know that it was the girl who was roasting the fish.

Everyone around them looked at Her Majesty in bewilderment.

This childish old lady was in stark contrast to the graceful empress dowager they knew!

She stood in front of the grill and her hands reached out. She then drew them back, before reaching out again.

Emperor Wu was about to go to her, when Feng Wu said quietly, “Her Majesty is in a dream-like state now. In other words, Her Majesty is sleepwalking.”

All eyes were on her!

Putting her hands behind her back, Feng Wu said calmly, “If someone wakes Her Majesty up now, it’s very likely that she’ll be very confused. In layman terms, she’ll become mentally crippled.”

Wow —

Immediately, everyone held their breaths. Some even covered their mouths with their hands, worried that their breathing might disturb the old lady.

“What are we going to do now?” Emperor Wu didn’t realize that he was whispering in Feng Wu’s ear.

Feng Wu said quietly, “It’s quite easy, actually. Don’t disturb Her Majesty, and let her do whatever she wants. Once the obsession is over, we’ll be able to guide her toward going to sleep.”

“Sure, sure —” Emperor Wu obeyed Feng Wu’s instruction.

Meanwhile, the empress dowager —

She couldn’t see anything but the roast fish.

Finally, she couldn’t suppress her desire anymore and picked up the fish.

She gently tore a small piece off and slowly put it in her mouth.

She looked very hesitant.

She thought she knew what the roast fish tasted like, but she didn’t know why she felt so tempted, which was why she looked distracted.

However —

When she put the first piece into her mouth —
