2504: Zuo Qingluan's Failure (3)

Zuo Qingluan's Failure (3)

Master Chu asked excitedly, "What are the chances of saving her?"1

Concubine Oriole stared at Gao.

Gao imitated Feng Wu and said indifferently, "If Concubine Oriole cooperates, there's an 80% chance that she'll live."

80%?! Concubine Oriole was thrilled.

But she wasn't convinced because Zuo Qingluan had said that she was going to die…

Emperor Wu had always trusted Feng Wu, so he urged Concubine Oriole, "Just drink it!"

Gao then helped Concubine Oriole take the medicine while Master Chu sutured her stomach.

The door to the delivery room was open.

Everyone outside heard the conversation.

All eyes were on Zuo Qingluan, since she had been so certain that there was no point trying to save Concubine Oriole.

She had given up on Concubine Oriole!

The empress dowager looked at Zuo Qingluan suspiciously. "Is Feng Wu really a better physician than you are?"

At her age, she needed a physician that could treat her effectively around the clock.

Because of that, the empress dowager felt that she tolerated Feng Wu enough. If she could find someone better, however…

Of course, she would choose that person over Feng Wu.

Zuo Qingluan smiled and said, "Concubine Oriole is beyond saving."

Empress Dugu chimed in, "Your Majesty, Concubine Oriole is like a sister to me, and Qingluan is my niece. If there was a way to save Concubine Oriole, I'm sure Qingluan would have done everything she could.

"However, Concubine Oriole's condition is simply too dire. Even Firmament Palace can't save her. Childbirth is so challenging for women."

The empress dowager looked less displeased, but she still said, "But Feng Wu said she could treat Oriole."

Empress Dugu said, "If she could, she wouldn't have left so quickly. Your Majesty, talk is cheap."

The empress dowager agreed with her.

Empress Dugu went on, "If Feng Wu really is that good, she would have cured Bao Er already…"

Because Jun Linyuan cared about Bao Er, the empress dowager liked the girl as well. She nodded when Empress Dugu mentioned her.

"Speaking of Bao Er…" Empress Dugu glanced at Zuo Qingluan.

Zuo Qingluan nodded.

She had felt humiliated when she tried to enrage Jun Linyuan with the news that Feng Wu had stolen the Immortal Spiritual Fruit, and she wanted to get back at Feng Wu.

Although Feng Xun and the crown prince had forgiven Feng Wu, what about the empress dowager? What would she think?

Therefore, Zuo Qingluan had shared that information with Mrs. Zuo before she came to the palace.

Mrs. Zuo was so excited that she immediately told Empress Dugu.

Empress Dugu was equally excited, and they began to talk about Bao Er.

After getting Zuo Qingluan's permission, Empress Dugu was about to tell the empress dowager what Feng Wu had done.

But before she could say anything, she heard Emperor Wu's excited voice.

"Oriole, you're awake! How do you feel? Master Chu, come here! She looks much better now!"

Emperor Wu seldom sounded so excited. Empress Dugu's stomach lurched.
