Rubbing her forehead, the empress dowager turned around to see all the astonished faces, which made her jump. "What are all these people doing here?"
"Mother —"
Emperor Wu went up to her and held her hands. "Mother, how do you feel? Any pain?"
The empress dowager considered for a moment. "Pain? No, I feel fine."
"Mother, do you remember what happened before you fainted?" Emperor Wu asked tentatively.
"Before I fainted…" Everything then came back to the empress dowager. She smacked herself on the forehead and cried out softly in pain.
Lady Northern Feng stopped her in a hurry. "Your Majesty, you just narrowly escaped death. Please don't do that to your head."
The lady had almost had a heart attack when she heard that the empress dowager had an aneurysm.
