As a matter of fact, the empress dowager really needed Feng Wu. Had it not been for her, the old lady would be in her grave now.0

Lady Northern Feng was also there, and she ranted the most in her head. However —

Since His Majesty had spoken, there was nothing she could say.

The empress dowager threw a proud glance at Feng Wu and told Master Chu, "I also like you because you don't try to take credit for other people's work, and you're not proud either, unlike someone. They act as if they call the shots around here when they didn't do a thing. Heh —"

Master Chu looked embarrassed.

He wondered if the empress dowager had said that on purpose, because that description sounded just like him.

Master Chu felt like crying, because he was just an honest man.

"Your Majesty, we were only able to save you because —"

"Ahem —"

Several people cleared their throats.

Even Feng Wu shook her head at Master Chu.

Master Chu was speechless.

"Her Majesty's wound has yet to close," she reminded him in an indifferent tone.

She meant that if Her Majesty knew who her real lifesaver was, she might be so angry that her wound would burst open…

Master Chu understood that, so he had no choice but to take the credit.

The empress dowager glanced at Feng Wu and snorted. "What do you know about my wound? As if you were the one who treated me."

Feng Wu cleared her throat again.

The empress dowager frowned. "Why are you coughing all the time? Are you sick? If you infect Junjun with your coughing, I'll kill you!"

Feng Wu was speechless.

She wanted to explain, when the empress dowager waved her off. "That's enough. I don't want to listen to you, nor do I want to see your face. Go away now!"

The empress dowager was very blunt.

Empress Dugu, Jun Wuxia, and their lot were very happy to hear it, and they were thrilled to hear Feng Wu's predicament.

The Northern Feng General, on the other hand, wanted to defend Feng Wu against the injustice.

Feng Wu was the one who had saved the empress dowager, but not only didn't she get a thank you, she was scolded and taunted. How frustrating.

To Lady Northern Feng's relief, after what the girl was put through, she remained unperturbed and level-headed. What a magnanimous young lady.

Feng Wu didn't plan to stick around to be insulted, so she excused herself.

The winter hunt was supposed to be canceled, but since the empress dowager insisted on going, the journey resumed.

"We're still going?"

All the clan heads and their families were confused; they couldn't understand why the empress dowager still wanted to go to the Senal Grassland in her current condition.

Exactly what was so special about the place that the empress dowager just had to go there?

Granny Lan had asked the empress dowager that question before, but she wouldn't tell even Granny Lan.

For the next part of the journey, Feng Wu still stayed with Jun Linyuan as his maid.

Jun Linyuan was a very fussy guy.

He was extremely picky about his food.

Ever since Feng Wu made the fish-flavored shredded pork with rice the other day, he had to eat what Feng Wu cooked for every single meal.

Luckily, Feng Wu was already a good cook, so she was able to cook Jun Linyuan different delicious dishes every time.

There were so many ingredients she could find in the mountains that she didn't have to cook the same dish for nearly two weeks.

One night, they camped on the bank of Yuexi Lake.

As soon as they got out of their carriage, Jun Linyuan saw the lake, and he told Feng Wu that he wanted roast fish.
