Chapter 600 Each Had Their Own Plans (Part Two)
When Nancy noticed that the empress had accidentally wounded her hand, she walked up to her andheld her hand. She then said, "Please calm down, Your Majesty. It's not that His Majesty doesn't careabout you anymore. He might just still be holding a grudge because of the Longevity Pills. Just give himsome time. I'm sure it won't be long before he forgets about it and immediately forgives you."
"Nancy, His Majesty hasn't come to my residence since his birthday banquet. He is obviously mad atme. I don't know why he couldn't understand that Felix looked for the Longevity Pill just for him. Howcould he still be upset with Felix?" The empress was furious. She felt even more enraged at thethought that Felix was still under house arrest.
In an attempt to comfort the empress, Nancy responded slowly, "Your Majesty, Crown Prince Felix isgrounded right now. Please do not panic. You and His Majesty have been a couple for many years.There is no doubt that he loves you. But he still has to give the officials an explanation. When theappropriate time comes, Crown Prince Felix will be pardoned. Please don't worry, Your Majesty."novelbin
"I'm just afraid that His Majesty will take this chance to severely act out because of his rage. I wanted toask him to release Felix for the sake of our long-term marriage. Felix had just been implicated byWalden. Since I'm certain that Felix didn't do it, His Majesty doesn't need to treat him like this." Theempress was so mad. Recently, she had been more irritable than usual. Whenever she would lose hertemper, it was really hard for her to control it.
Nancy wrapped the empress's wounded hand. "Don't worry, Your Majesty. You are still the first lady ofthe Imperial Palace. That doesn't change at all. It's still easy for you to see His Majesty."
The empress's eyes rolled a little. When she looked at Nancy, however, she instantly calmed down. Toomany things had happened recently so she was distracted for a moment. She even forgot her positionin the palace and what it entailed. She was still the head of the women's residence in the Imperial
Palace. The emperor might not want to see her because he was upset with her. But she could forcehim to come and see her.
"All of you may leave now," the empress stated while she made a gesture with her hand. At that point,only Nancy was left by her side. Nancy had been with her since childhood, so she believed in her. Theempress ordered, "Bring me the medicine."
"You want to take the medicine, Your Majesty?"
"Today, I must see His Majesty. If I can keep him away from Sherry's palace, I would be able to teachher a lesson. No matter how much His Majesty dotes on her, she is still just a lowly concubine, and asthe empress, I am still above her," the empress said with gritted teeth.
"But the medicine is extremely harmful to your body—"
Nancy tried to warn her but the empress cut her off and nonchalantly said, "It's not a big deal. I'm notyoung anymore and Felix has grown up. I don't need another son. It doesn't matter. Just go and get it."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Soon enough, Nancy brought the medicine that the empress had asked for. Shethen took out a pill and handed it to her. The empress swallowed it without hesitation. In just aheartbeat, her face turned pale. She was then about to fall down, as if she couldn't sit still anymore.
With a worried look on her face, Nancy helped the empress to lie down on the bed. "Your Majesty,please have a rest. I'll send someone to invite His Majesty later."
The empress clenched her teeth. The medicine was very strong, causing severe pain all over her body.After ten minutes, the person who took it would show a state of weakness. Even any imperial physicianwith superb medical skills could not find out what caused such symptoms.
After ten minutes, the empress looked as if she had just been rescued from a pond as she wassweating so much. To make matters worse, she was in an awkward position. Nancy clenched her fists,trying to calm herself down. She then ran out and exclaimed, "Oh no! Her Majesty fainted."
"Nancy, why did Her Majesty faint?" Cheryl was surprised. The empress was doing fine just then. Howcould she have fainted in less than fifteen minutes?
"Her Majesty has not slept well these days. On top of that, she has been very worried about CrownPrince Felix. It was because of these two reasons that she fainted. Go and immediately look for theimperial physician on duty so she can be treated. I'm going to see His Majesty. Hurry up!" Nancyordered.
"Yes, Nancy." After responding, Cheryl headed for the Imperial Academy of Medicine. She thought, 'IfHis Majesty comes to the Sleek Palace today, I would give it a try to see if Minna was telling the truth.She said that as long as I sincerely pray, His Majesty would love and dote on me.'
After Cheryl left, she didn't go directly to the Imperial Academy of Medicine. Instead, she took out thespell doll and sincerely prayed three times. Then, she hid it in the Sleek Palace before looking for theimperial physician. It was a crucial time for her plan. If she were to succeed, she would be able tobecome a noble lady in the future. She would never have to serve anyone again. If the spell were tofail, she would never let go of that bitch, Minna.
Nancy did deserve to be the empress's right hand because of her competence. She didn't go to see theemperor directly. Instead, she went to visit Sherry first. A maid who was responsible for guarding thegates noticed that Nancy was in such a mess. Her eyes were even reddish while she asked to seeSherry. She thought that Nancy had suffered abuse from the empress, so she was coming to askSherry for help. For a short while, the maid didn't know what to do.
"Has Lady Sherry gone to bed?" Nancy's voice was not too loud or too soft. It was just enough for thepeople in the hall to hear her.
At that time, Sherry was having dinner with the emperor. When she heard the noise outside, sheimmediately frowned deeply. Out of concern, she ordered, "Minna, go outside and have a look. Find outwhat's happening and why it is so noisy."
"Yes, My Lady." Minna set out in a hurry, but she came back very soon. "Your Majesty, My Lady, it is thechief maid of Her Majesty's household, Nancy, who is at our gate. She said that Her Majesty fainted allof a sudden and she has no idea what to do, so she's begging to see you, My Lady. Please come andhelp her."
