"You can leave now!" The empress dowager couldn't be bothered to tell Jun Wuxia off and just waved to send her on her way.
Jun Wuxia hesitated and wanted to say something, but she didn't say a word in the end. She left the room after giving the empress dowager a bow.
The empress dowager had an odd feeling as soon as Jun Wuxia left.
But she couldn't quite put her finger on it.
Granny Lan was keeping an eye on the empress dowager, and she panicked when she saw the old lady twisting and turning. "Your Majesty, what's wrong? Are you not feeling well?"
The empress dowager scratched her throat. "It's quite itchy here."
Granny Lan paled. "Your throat? Anywhere else?"
The empress dowager rubbed her belly. "Here, too. It feels like a thousand ants are crawling under my clothes. I feel awful!"
Granny Lan's face darkened.
"Argh —" All of a sudden, the empress dowager cried out, "It's so itchy! My face is itchy, my body is itchy, and I feel itchy everywhere! Help me —"
