The Emperor reluctantly closed his open mouth and impatiently glanced at Empress Dowager Zhuang.

What was this poisonous woman up to now? She wouldn't even let his imperial concubine mother feed him medicine. Did she not want to see imperial concubine mother do well?

Empress Dowager Zhuang walked over with a proud expression and said to Imperial Concubine Dowager Jing, who was sitting on the dragon couch, "Give Aijia the medicine, Aijia will feed him."

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the room was startled.

Although this was a disrespectful thing to say but, had the Empress Dowager gone crazy? Why would she want to feed the Emperor the medicine?

It would already be considered merciful of her if she didn't poison His Majesty with a bowl of medicine!

Wait, something wasn’t right.

Recently, the relationship between the Empress Dowager and the Emperor seemed to have improved. They were often seen being filial and motherly to each other, and it was said that they no longer argued during court meetings, so that the officials of both factions were so idle that they almost used their toes to dig out a two-story building in the imperial audience hall!

It was just that the two of them had been fighting for so long that when they suddenly reconciled, everyone had trouble adapting and still thought that the two people were still at odds.

"There’s no need to trouble the Empress Dowager. I will do it." Imperial Concubine Dowager Jing sat on the dragon couch and said gently.

Emperor: Right right, Zhen didn't want to drink the medicine fed by this poisonous woman!

Empress Dowager Zhuang looked down at her and said, "Your clothes are wet like this, aren't you worried about catching a cold? Isn't your body already weak?"

The Emperor suddenly remembered that he had knocked over the first medicine bowl and hurt Imperial Concubine Dowager Jing's hand earlier. He had been scared silly by the nightmare and had forgotten about such an important matter.

He looked at the reddened back of Imperial Concubine Dowager Jing's hand and her wet clothes. Feeling guilty, he said, "Imperial concubine mother should hurry back and change her clothes. Eunuch Wei!"

"This servant is here." Eunuch Wei walked up with his horsetail whisk and bowed, "Your Majesty."

The Emperor said, "Escort imperial concubine mother back to the imperial nunnery. Also, remember to send someone to invite an imperial physician to take a look at imperial concubine mother."

Eunuch Wei replied, "Yes!" Then he turned to Imperial Concubine Dowager Jing and said, "Imperial Concubine Dowager, please come this way."

At this point, Imperial Concubine Dowager Jing had no choice but to leave.

Grannie Cai glanced at her own imperial concubine dowager with a tight fist and a hint of anxiety in her eyes.

Imperial Concubine Dowager Jing stood up slowly and handed the bowl of medicine in her hand to Empress Dowager Zhuang. However, Empress Dowager Zhuang did not move and it was Eunuch Qin who took the bowl.

If Marquis Xuanping was an expert at bullying people, then Zhuang Jinse was an expert at trampling on them. She did not think it was worth her own hands to accept something handed over by a mere imperial concubine dowager!

Imperial Concubine Dowager Jing's fingertips tightened, showing a hint of anger.

The Emperor was extremely angry as well. He believed that this vicious woman was only here to embarrass Imperial Concubine Dowager Jing.

"Ah!" Imperial Concubine Dowager Jing's hand slipped and the medicine bowl slid off Eunuch Qin's fingertips, falling onto the footrest of the dragon couch.

The footrest was made of wood and the bowl did not break, but it was completely knocked over. The medicine splashed all over the ground, and some of it even flew onto the luxurious and exquisite robe of Empress Dowager Zhuang.

“Your Majesty!" Eunuch Qin was actually the most miserable one. He was standing so close that his shoes were all wet. However, he didn't care about himself and quickly bent down to wipe Empress Dowager Zhuang's phoenix robe.

"It's not necessary, you may rise." Empress Dowager Zhuang said calmly.

"Imperial concubine mother, are you okay?" The Emperor asked with concern.

Eunuch Qin secretly sneered. Compared to the Empress Dowager, the medicinal soup that splashed onto Imperial Concubine Dowager Jing this time was nothing, but the Emperor wasn’t concerned about the Empress Dowager at all and instead went to ask about Imperial Concubine Dowager Jing.

Didn't he see that the medicine bowl was knocked over by her?

"I'm fine. It’s just, I'm too useless. I can't even hold a bowl of medicine properly." Imperial Concubine Dowager Jing said with shame.

The Emperor couldn't bear to see her upset, "Imperial concubine mother is still recovering from her injury..."

Empress Dowager Zhuang interrupted the Emperor's words coldly, "You know you're useless, then why are you still standing here? Why aren’t you stepping down quickly!"

Imperial Concubine Dowager Jing was stunned.

The Emperor and Grannie Cai were also surprised.

Empress Dowager Zhuang and Imperial Concubine Dowager Jing had been at odds for a long time, but it was the first time that Empress Dowager Zhuang had spoken to Imperial Concubine Dowager Jing in such a harsh tone in front of everyone.

Even during their last encounter in the imperial garden, Empress Dowager Zhuang had merely ignored Imperial Concubine Dowager Jing.

The Emperor's face darkened.

Imperial Concubine Dowager Jing lowered her gaze and spoke softly, "Empress Dowager is right, I will retire now."

Imperial Concubine Dowager Jing's expression was very calm. She didn't cry or show weakness, but everyone could feel her grievances.

The Emperor's face became even darker.

Imperial Concubine Dowager Jing left the bedchamber with the escort of Eunuch Wei.

Eunuch Qin personally brought a new bowl of medicine.

Empress Dowager Zhuang reluctantly took the medicine bowl with a disgusted expression.

The Emperor was angered by her attitude. How dare she feel disgusted? He was even more disgusted by this, okay!

However, he still remembered that the two of them were trying to maintain a peaceful front and he couldn't break off relations with her just yet, especially in public. He said to the palace servants in the room, “All of you, withdraw.”

"Yes." The palace maids and eunuchs replied and left, leaving only Eunuch Qin by Empress Dowager Zhuang's side.

He was aware of the situation, so the Emperor didn't mind him being present.

Now that there was no one else around, the Emperor was ready to settle the score with Empress Dowager over Imperial Concubine Dowager Jing's matter. Unexpectedly, his hand suddenly felt heavier.

Empress Dowager Zhuang had actually handed the medicine bowl to him.

"Drink it yourself!" Empress Dowager Zhuang said coldly before leaving without looking back.

The Emperor: "..."
