Chapter 961: Won’t Let Go (2)

The empress dowager ignored her. Walking past Feng Wu, she sat down by the bed and looked affectionately at Jun Linyuan.

“Is the crown prince alright or not?” the empress dowager asked Feng Wu as she kept her gaze on Jun Linyuan.

Feng Wu nodded. “His Royal Highness’s condition isn’t too severe. He’ll recover after a few days of rest.”

The empress dowager snorted.

Feng Wu said, “Your Majesty, do I have your permission to withdraw?”

Since the crown prince wasn’t in any danger, Feng Wu had just become redundant. The empress dowager threw a dirty look at Feng Wu. “You can leave now.”

She didn’t want this girl around.

Feng Wu nodded and turned to leave.

The empress dowager had spoken, and Feng Wu thought that Jun Linyuan would let her go now.

But she almost tripped as soon as she moved.

Because Jun Linyuan still wouldn’t let go of her sleeve!

Feng Wu tugged with all her might, dragging Jun Linyuan with her.

The empress dowager flared up.

Baby Jun was the apple of her eye. How could this girl treat him so carelessly?

“Stop it!” The empress dowager cast a stern look at Feng Wu. “You don’t behave like a girl at all! Granny Tao, scissors!”

What really displeased the empress dowager was…

That reluctant look on Feng Wu’s face. What was that about?

She looked as if the crown prince was the one that wouldn’t let her go.

The empress dowager glared at Feng Wu. “Don’t overthink it! The crown prince will never be in love with you and you don’t have to give me that innocent look!”

Feng Wu sighed. “Your Majesty, that’s not what I meant.”

Just then, Granny Tao came back with a pair of scissors. She was going to use it when the empress dowager snatched it away.

“I’ll do it myself!” The empress dowager held the scissors while Granny Tao stretched out Feng Wu’s sleeve. With one move, part of Feng Wu’s sleeve was cut off.

The empress dowager smirked. “There you go. It’s nothing complicated. You can go now. From now on —”

However, before she could finish —

The crown prince, who had been sleeping peacefully on the bed, stirred, and his face turned scarlet red.

Spotting this, Granny Tao cried out in surprise. “What’s happening to His Royal Highness?”

The empress dowager looked at Jun Linyuan.

She saw that his face was flushed from his rising temperature!

She touched Jun Linyuan’s forehead and there was a sizzling sound —

It sounded like meat grilling.

The empress dowager cried out at the scorching heat and she jumped to her feet. “What’s happening to the crown prince? What’s going on?!”

The temperature was so high that it could burn a man to a crisp. How could he stand it?

“Master Chu! Master Chu!” The empress dowager yelled toward the door.

Master Chu rushed into the room and was astonished when he saw Jun Linyuan’s face. He asked the empress dowager, “Your Majesty, did you tell Feng Wu off?”

The empress dowager didn’t understand the implication in the question. She only urged Master Chu, “Come over here! He’s ill again! Do something!”

Master Chu knew what was going on as soon as he checked Jun Linyuan’s pulse.

He couldn’t say it out loud, and could only smile bitterly in his heart. He said, “I’m afraid there’s nothing I can do. Your Majesty, we need Miss Feng here.”

The empress dowager looked astonished.

She glared at Master Chu, who smiled bitterly at her. “Your Majesty, Miss Feng Wu is the only one that can help His Royal Highness.”

What choice did the empress dowager have?
