2499: I Won't Let Her

I Won't Let Her

Feng Wu was bound to fail, so Zuo Qingluan wasn't worried.1

As expected, Concubine Oriole's voice grew weaker and weaker until she sounded like a cat meowing.

Master Chu was assisting Feng Wu.

At first, Feng Wu didn't find out what was wrong.

She examined everything and checked the concubine's pulse a few times but still found nothing.

Master Chu was worried.

"Miss Wu, do you know what's going on?"

Feng Wu rolled her eyes at him.

Master Chu smiled bitterly. "His Majesty cares about the lady and her baby very much. If something goes wrong, we're going to…"

Just then, Concubine Oriole grabbed Master Chu's hand.

"Master Chu, help me!"

Master Chu drew back his hand and told Concubine Oriole, "Miss Feng Wu is a much better physician. I'm only assisting her. You should be asking for her help."

"No…" Concubine Oriole shook her head. "She's a bad person. She'll kill me… Master Chu, please help me…"

Master Chu was shocked.

Why would she say such things in a moment like this?

He immediately said to Feng Wu, "Miss Wu, Concubine Oriole is only…"

Feng Wu said grumpily, "Let's just save her life first."

Concubine Oriole screamed, "I don't need your help! You're evil!"

Feng Wu rolled her eyes at the woman. She couldn't take it anymore.

She wasn't obligated to save this woman.

She turned to leave.

When she walked out of the room, Emperor Wu immediately took her hands. "Kiddo, is Oriole alright?"

Zuo Qingluan smirked.

Alright? She knew better than anyone else how Concubine Oriole was doing. The undead insect was still in her womb and stopping the baby from coming out.

Of course, she wouldn't tell anyone what was going on.

Ever since Zuo Qingluan came back, she had been living in Feng Wu's shadow. Now that she heard Concubine Oriole's desperate cries, she felt so satisfied.

She had always known that she liked to see other people suffer.

Whenever someone else was in pain, she would find it cathartic.

Feng Wu glanced at Emperor Wu and gestured at the bedchamber.

"I won't let her treat me! She's evil! She's going to kill me! You Majesty, please let Miss Zuo help me!"

Concubine Oriole shouted at the top of her lungs.

Emperor Wu was furious.

But Zuo Qingluan looked pleased.

After hearing that, Emperor Wu had to let her treat the lady.

The empress dowager's face darkened.

Concubine Oriole's shouting was giving her a headache.

"Your Majesty, if Oriole is insisting that Zuo Qingluan treat her, I'm sure that something went wrong when Feng Wu was there. How about we let Zuo Qingluan treat her first? If the baby still won't come out, we can then send Feng Wu in."

The empress dowager had never considered the possibility that Feng Wu wouldn't treat Oriole.
