2509: Immortal Spiritual Fruit

Immortal Spiritual Fruit

The empress dowager wanted to call Zuo Qingluan a liar, but the girl had indeed been the first worshipper, only that it was at Guangyuan Temple.2

And she had indeed met Master Linghu before, and the master had blessed her out of kindness.

Seeing that the crisis was almost over, Empress Dugu changed the subject.

She knew that the empress dowager was angry.

And the old lady never forgave those who wronged her. She wouldn't remember whoever had been kind to her, but if someone offended her in the slightest way, she would hold a grudge against them forever!

To distract her, there was only one way.

Empress Dugu knew that she had to make Feng Wu sound a hundred times worse than Zuo Qingluan. That way, the empress dowager would shift her hatred to Feng Wu.

Empress Dugu said, "Speaking of Miss Feng Wu, I heard something recently. I don't know if it's my place to say it…"

Emperor Wu said, "Then don't say it."

He knew that Empress Dugu wouldn't say anything nice about Feng Wu.

Empress Dugu mumbled, "But it has something to do with Concubine Oriole and Princess Bao Er. I think I should share the information…"

"Cut to the chase!" The empress dowager was impatient.

Empress Dugu said, "A year ago, we received information about the Immortal Spiritual Fruit from Northern Border City, and His Royal Highness went there immediately."

She stole a glance at the empress dowager.

As expected, the empress dowager listened carefully when Jun Linyuan was mentioned.

Empress Dugu knew what the old lady wanted to hear. "When His Royal Highness arrived at Northern Border City, Yu Mingye of the Dark Dynasty was there as well. His Royal Highness went through much peril to obtain the fruit."

The empress dowager frowned.

"However, someone stole that Immortal Spiritual Fruit from His Royal Highness," said Empress Dugu.

"What?!" The empress dowager smacked the table.

"Who was it?!"

Empress Dugu said, "The thief was so cunning that even His Royal Highness was caught off guard. To make it worse, His Royal Highness couldn't find that person afterward. The frustration upset him for a whole year…"

"Find that person and kill them!" the empress dowager growled.

Empress Dugu said, "That person is so crafty. If His Royal Highness is surrounded by such people…"

The empress dowager was furious. "How dare they get close to Junjun!"

Jun Linyuan was the only person the empress dowager cared for.

The boy had never failed at anything, and she couldn't believe that someone could do such a thing to him.

"Your Majesty, that person was in Northern Border City.

"That person lost the ability to cultivate, but the Immortal Spiritual Fruit enabled them to regain the ability.

"After that, they made such rapid progress that they're already a Level 6 Spiritual Lord!

"And that person is so proud just because they have good medical skills."

Northern Border City? Regaining cultivation ability? Good medical skills?

A name came to the empress dowager's mind.

"Feng Wu?!"
