2503: Zuo Qingluan's Failure (2)

Zuo Qingluan's Failure (2)

Northern Feng General had never seen eye to eye with Empress Dugu, and having Zhang Ying, Concubine Oriole's brother, in his army was quite the pain in the neck.2

Because of that, Feng Xun didn't like Concubine Oriole at all.

Of course, Feng Wu didn't know that.

Master Chu suddenly rushed out of the bedchamber and said to Emperor Wu, "Your Majesty, there's still hope! We just need to get Miss Feng Wu back!"

Emperor Wu asked, "Are you sure?"

Master Chu said, "Yes. Her Majesty was in critical condition several times, and Miss Feng Wu managed to turn things around every single time. I'm sure that she'll be able to do something!"

The empress dowager was about to object, but what Master Chu said rendered her speechless.

Emperor Wu looked at the crying baby.

The baby had just been born, and he still had a whole life in front of him. If Concubine Oriole died, Emperor Wu would feel guilty for the rest of his life over the death of the baby's mother…

That was what Jun Linyuan had gone through; Emperor Wu wondered if that was why his son had turned out the way he was.

At that thought, he glanced at Gao, who took the hint and left the room.

Concubine Oriole was slipping in and out of consciousness. She had lost all hope.

"I'm going to die…

"I'm going to die…

"I don't want to die! Brother, help me!"

But Zuo Qingluan had been so certain that she would die.

Concubine Oriole regretted her decision. Feng Wu had said that she could keep both her and her son alive, but she chose Zuo Qingluan instead. In the end, Concubine Oriole was abandoned.

She wondered if things would have been different if she had chosen Feng Wu.

Gao soon came back.

He was on his own.

Zuo Qingluan smiled. She didn't believe that Feng Wu would return.

Why should she come back if she couldn't save anyone?

The empress dowager snorted. "I've never met such an arrogant girl before!"

She decided that Feng Wu wasn't good enough to be her maid, let alone her grandson's wife.

Gao had a small bottle in his hands, and he hurried toward the delivery room.

"Isn't the girl coming?" Emperor Wu frowned.

He understood that she was upset. She had just been told off, but he didn't like it when she put on airs.

Gao nodded. "Your Majesty, I found Miss Feng Wu in the kitchen, and she was pouring this medicine into the bottle when I found her.

"She said that if Concubine Oriole drinks this, she might still have a chance."

Emperor Wu said, "Hurry up, then!"

Concubine Oriole didn't like the idea. "Feng Wu doesn't like me. She wants me dead…"

Emperor Wu scolded her. "If she meant you harm, she didn't need to come here at all! She could have just let you die on your own! Do you know how hard it is to get her help?!"

Concubine Oriole was already very weak, and she gave in when Emperor Wu scolded her. She took the bottle and drank the medicine.

Gao said, "Miss Feng Wu said that she wouldn't come here. As for Concubine Oriole's belly, Master Chu can sew it up with the method she taught him."
