Chapter 1134 - 1139: The Fate of Bad Guys (4)
Cai Wei watched him flee the room, and she withdrew her foot that had suffered poisoning, feeling an inexplicable bewilderment. Why did this man suddenly run away as if for his life? Could it be that he forgot some important matter?
Huan Qiu had long heard The Emperor and Empress romping inside the room; seeing The Emperor leave, she came in to serve Cai Wei as she washed and dressed.
Seeing that it was still early outside, not yet time for breakfast at home, Cai Wei instructed Huan Qiu to heat some bath water.
Her monthly letter had passed, and she was anxious to cleanse her body—not to satisfy a man’s desire, but to be able to control the space and ask The Great Immortal Turtle to come out and heal Tuotuo’s hand. Cai Wei had seen the severity of Tuotuo’s injury with her own eyes. Such a serious injury needed prompt treatment, better sooner than later, for if Tuotuo’s hand became useless, Miaojiang would surely turn against Great Jin!
After her bath and dressing, Cai Wei, accompanied by Huan Qiu and Xiao Zhi, went to the front yard to have breakfast.
The family had all risen early and were sitting in the living room waiting for her. Seeing her come out, Lady Du laughed and said, "You’ve finally got up; if you hadn’t, breakfast would have gotten cold."
With that, she ordered the servants to set the meal.
The breakfast was extremely lavish, prepared according to the standard of the Empress Dowager’s homecoming visit, with all sorts of chicken, duck, fish, and meat, Shark Fin and Tripe, a whole table full of rich dishes.
Cai Wei sighed inwardly. Now that she was the Empress, her family’s attitude toward her could never be as casual and intimate as before.
Everyone watched her until she sat down, and then they took their seats in turn.
