Chapter 2169

If she could, she would tell “Feng Wu” to go away, but she needed “her” now.

Did the empress dowager trust Feng Wu’s medical skills? In fact, she did, more than anyone else, because the girl had cured her difficult medical condition with a single diagnosis.

But she simply didn’t like the girl around her grandson, nor did she want her Junjun to pay too much attention to one woman.

He was going to be the emperor one day. He needed to focus on the big picture!

Her late husband used to say that if Jun Linyuan became the emperor one day, he would unify the entire continent and become the greatest ruler ever.

That was one of the reasons why the empress dowager doted on Jun Linyuan.

She stared at “Feng Wu” and frowned.

But “Feng Wu” was really Jun Linyuan, and it was the first time that he realized what Feng Wu had to endure.

No one liked her, from the royal family to her own family members. The Zuo family couldn’t wait to kill her.

She didn’t do anything, but all these people wanted her dead.

She also had to protect her mother, her brother, her maids, and her servants…

She was too young to shoulder all the pressure.

The crown prince wasn’t the sympathetic sort, but he felt sorry for Feng Wu at that moment. He pursed his lips and decided that he would pick on the girl less often in the future.

“Feng Wu?!” The empress dowager called “Feng Wu” several times, but “she” didn’t respond, which upset the empress dowager.

Jun Linyuan heard her this time and looked up.

He shifted his gaze and looked at the old lady with cold eyes.

The empress dowager felt a chill run down her spine.

She couldn’t understand why the “girl” looked so intimidating.

That look almost reminded her of her grandson.

Jun Linyuan walked up to Feng Wu, quickly checked her pulse, and said, “She’s been poisoned by the Magic Soul Vine.”

The empress dowager wasn’t impressed. How could “Feng Wu” look so careless?

She was about to scold “Feng Wu,” when Master Chu said, “That’s right! Yes! That’s why it felt so familiar! Why didn’t I think of that? It’s the poison of the Magic Soul Vine!”

The empress dowager frowned and stared at Master Chu. “Are you sure?”

Emperor Wu frowned. “The closest military town of the Dongsang Kingdom to us is called Magic Soul Vine City! The Magic Soul Vine is the plant that protects the city.

“It’s a very powerful plant. The entire city is under its protection.

“It’s also highly poisonous, and it’s a neurotoxin as well. One can’t just shake it off.

“Once it invades a person’s body, it can turn one into an idiot or kill them!”

Emperor Wu stared at Feng Wu and asked in a trembling voice, “Is that true? Were you really poisoned by the Magic Soul Vine?”

This was also Feng Wu’s first time hearing of the Magic Soul Vine’s origin. Why hadn’t Jun Linyuan told her more about it?

“Am I going to die?” Feng Wu frowned.

Jun Linyuan said grumpily, “Only the stupid will die. You’ll live.”

With that, Feng Wu felt reassured.

But not Emperor Wu!

Although he usually just shouted at Jun Linyuan, and neither of them would give in…
