This process had been sped up.
Fortunately, Empress Dowager Minde did not fall into Fu Xu’s hands today. Otherwise, all their previous efforts would have been in vain. Not only did Fu Ying think so, but the other ministers also thought so. It was obvious that they knew how much their Empress cared about her mother.
After Fu Ying finished discussing with the officials in the royal study and issued a few decrees, a palace servant came out to report that the Empress Dowager had woken up.
She also said that the Empress Dowager was very emotional and that the people serving her could not persuade her to rest well.
Fu Ying hurried to her mother’s palace.
“Fu Ying, Fu Ying.” Empress Dowager Minde, who was originally extremely agitated on the bed, hugged her daughter the moment she saw her. She was still trembling. She looked frazzled. “I almost died. I thought I would never see the light of day. Fu Ying, Fu Ying… Your father was right, it’s too dangerous outside.” As she spoke, she broke down and cried.
Although her mother was shaking, Fu Ying felt like everything had worked out well.
Her mother would never leave the palace again, and the possibility of anything happening in the palace was pitifully small. Her mother would always be very safe, and she would not have to worry about losing her only family member.
Shao Shuting and Huo Wenqing were brought to a room in a courtyard in the city by the Cloud Guards. They were thrown on the floor and then fed three meals a day.
The Cloud Guards brought a plate of steamed buns and a plate of steamed buns to feed him as usual.
The guard used both hands to force a steamed bun into Shao Shuting’s mouth and another into Huo Wenqing’s mouth.
Shao Shuting and Huo Wenqing accepted their fate and ate the food bit by bit.
They were still tied up with iron chains, but their mouths were not gagged like they were in the outside city.
Shao Shuting tried his best to maintain his lazy temperament. He lay on the floor and ate the bun. He raised his head and took a big bite of the steamed bun. As he chewed, he spoke to the Cloud Guard in a muffled voice, “Hey, where’s your boss? We want to see the big guy.”
The Cloud Guard pretended not to hear him for the umpteenth time.
Shao Shuting looked up at the sky and sighed. He did not waste his breath and continued to eat the steamed bun that was handed to his mouth.
After the buns were fed, the guard left and closed the door from the outside.
Shao Shuting finished chewing the last mouthful in his mouth and swallowed it. Then, he tried his best to nudge the person next to him with his shoulder and said, “She must have told him to wait for her. Otherwise, he would have come here himself. We’ll probably have to wait for her to wake up before we can see him. But what’s the use of that? How are we going to lie in front of her?”
Huo Wenqing — who had been knocked down — stared at him with a straight face. His eyes were blank as he ignored the other man.
Shao Shuting was used to his companion always acting like someone owed him millions, so he didn’t mind his behavior. He was usually quite talkative. Even if others ignored him, he could still talk for a long time.
Huo Wenqing didn’t hear a single word, but he thought back to the first time he saw his boss so angry. Even now, his neck was still hurting from the impact…
If they really killed Xue Yan… He did not doubt that Jiang Yue would not hesitate at all to immediately end their life.
