The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 785

Chapter 785: Feeding Medicine, Second Update _3

Eunuch Wei was stunned by this sudden development, wondering what was going on? Why was His Majesty acting so strangely towards the Consort Dowager?

"Your Majesty..." Eunuch Wei cautiously approached.

Consort Dowager Jing also stood, her eyes reddened as she walked towards the Emperor.

"Don’t let her come near!" The Emperor shouted.

Eunuch Wei and the palace maids, eunuchs in the hall looked at each other in confusion, none of them understanding what had happened.

Just then, from outside came the announcement from Eunuch Qin: "The Empress Dowager has arrived—"

Everyone in the palace knelt down in unison.

Eunuch Wei also hurriedly knelt down.

When the Empress Dowager, regal in her phoenix robe, walked into the Huaqing Palace’s sleeping hall, the Emperor, without a second thought, threw himself at her: "Mother—Save me—"

Before everyone present, he leapt into the Empress Dowager’s embraces.

The Empress Dowager was nearly knocked off her feet by him!

Such a grown man, what was he doing?

He acted as if he were still a child, totally disregarding his own weight and what that might mean for her!

The Empress Dowager propped up her index finger against the Emperor’s forehead, trying to push him away, but he clung to her tightly: "Mother... Mother..."

The Empress Dowager rolled her eyes in disgust.

Consort Dowager Jing watched this scene, gently wringing her fingers.

No one dared to pull the Emperor away, and the Empress Dowager could not push him off, so he clung to her for a long time.

Perhaps it was the Empress Dowager’s comforting presence that eased the Emperor’s panic, and the fear in his heart gradually dissipated, eventually restoring his sanity.

Coming to his senses, he realized the folly of his actions. Swiftly, he released the Empress Dowager and stepped back several paces, tripping and falling to the ground. Fortunately, Eunuch Wei’s quick reflexes steadied him.

With an embarrassed grip on Eunuch Wei’s hand, he stumbled to his feet, feeling utterly humiliated.

He had actually embraced this poisonous woman and called her mother!

The Empress Dowager looked at him contemptuously and remarked: "What kind of madness struck the Emperor this morning?"

The Emperor choked back his response.

No wonder everyone called her a poisonous woman, even her words were harsh!
