The Lady Nun Seeks Justice (Eliza Stonor) novel Chapter 340

340.Chapter 340

She didn’t know if it was her imagination, but she felt as though she had become younger recently, and her skin had looked more youthful.

The crowd, upon hearing this, turned their attention to the Empress Dowager.

The Empress Dowager might not have noticed the change so clearly.

Those who had previously avoided looking directly at her now stole glances, and sure enough, her complexion was far better than before.

No wonder the hundred–year–old Purple Shroom was so highly regarded.

Of course, some doubted the Empress Dowager’s words and thought she was merely making polite remarks.

How could any herb truly have such miraculous effects?

And even if it did, how could it possibly have come from Eliza?

After all, she had left the Duke’s estate, reportedly taking nothing with her except her mother’s dowry.

These skeptics were mostly young officials who had no understanding of the Padilla family’s former influence.

They didn’t grasp the significance of the Padilla family back then, nor the importance of its sole heiress.

Although the hundred–year–old Purple Shroom Eliza presented wasn’t directly taken from her mother’s dowry, the pendant her mother had gifted her was undeniably part of her legacy.

While the Empress Dowager was accustomed to making polite remarks, this time, her words were heartfelt.

What woman of a certain age wouldn’t wish to regain her youth?

The Purple Shroom Eliza had gifted her had allowed her to experience just that.

Since consuming the hundred–year–old Purple Shroom, her chronic ailments had significantly diminished–she could sleep soundly, eat heartily, and her overall health felt as though she had returned to her younger days.

Thus, despite rarely seeing Eliza, the Empress Dowager was fond of her, especially given the past connection between Eliza‘ s mother, Caroline, and the Empress Dowager.

Taking this opportunity, the Empress Dowager decided to lend Eliza her support.

“Your Majesty, I had intended to ask for a token today to gift the Holy Lady. Since she seems to favor this Snow Lotus, I shall request it on her behalf. Would Your Majesty be willing to part with it?”

“Mother, how could I refuse your request? Besides, I was already planning to do so,” King Magnus replied with a smile.

Eliza’s heart leapt with joy–she had gained the Snow Lotus effortlessly.
