After nightfall, Empress Dowager was delighted to hear that Feng Bailing and Dugu Wu would be staying together. She cajoled the two youngsters and specially prepared a set of clothes for Feng Bailing before sending someone to take her to see Dugu Wu.
In a side hall, Dugu Wu had already ordered the preparation of a wooden tub for a medicinal bath.
Feng Bailing's previous medicinal baths, though not favored by Dugu Wu, undeniably brought about some improvements—after several such baths, his legs gradually regained sensation. Coupled with Feng Bailing's acupuncture treatment, the muscles, which had started to atrophy, finally showed signs of recovery.
The pale muscles gradually regained color, becoming elastic.
"I will attend to the Prince; you all may leave."
Feng Bailing glanced at the several palace maids following her.
These palace maids were sent by Empress Dowager to serve her, but whether any of them were spies for someone else was unknown.
