Chapter 2505 - Zuo Qingluan’s Failure (4)

Empress Dugu involuntarily looked at Zuo Qingluan. Zuo Qingluan shook her head to tell the empress to stay calm.

Empress Dugu trusted Zuo Qingluan, so she stopped fidgeting.

But soon, they heard Master Chu’s voice. “Concubine Oriole’s pulse is getting stronger, and the toxin is leaving her system. Your Majesty, Concubine Oriole is getting better.”

“That’s great!” Emperor Wu was excited. “Feng Wu is as impressive as she’s said to be! I did the right thing to trust her! This is great news!”

Concubine Oriole was equally excited. She sat up and wept. “Your Majesty, am I going to live?”

Emperor Wu held her shoulders and nodded. “I told you that Xiao Wu would save you! She didn’t even need to come here. Her medicine alone has cured you!”

Thinking back to what had happened, Concubine Oriole burst into tears. “Your Majesty, I really thought I was going to die! Zuo Qingluan said so herself, and she told Master Chu not to help me!” Her accusation was very effective.

She wrapped her arms around Emperor Wu’s waist and cried at the top of her lungs.

Outside, Zuo Qingluan didn’t know what to say.

Her face was scarlet red with rage.

She had to clench her fists to stop herself from losing control.

That woman...

How dare she accuse me like that?!

While she was thinking that, the empress dowager was already walking toward the delivery room.

She stopped at the door and asked, “Is Concubine Oriole alright now?”

Emperor Wu said, “Yes, her condition has stabilized and her pulse is strong. If everything goes as planned, she’ll live.”

The empress dowager nodded.

If she were given the choice, she didn’t want Concubine Oriole to die. After all, this was the empress dowager’s palace, and she didn’t want to have a dead person here.

However...

She turned around and glared at Zuo Qingluan.

“Did you tell Concubine Oriole that she was beyond saving?”

Zuo Qingluan was furious.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

She had never been questioned like this before.

The empress dowager stared at her. “Answer

me!”

How dare this old hag talk to me like this?! Zuo Qingluan was furious.

She looked at her hands.

One strike and she could ruin the empress dowager’s face. This old woman has no right to scold me!

The empress dowager said, “For a moment, I really thought that you were a better physician than Feng Wu. But you were just bragging.”

Gosh.

That was harsh.

It was worse than slapping Zuo Qingluan.

How humiliating...

Zuo Qingluan was so embarrassed.

Empress Dugu glanced at Zuo Qingluan. She knew that the proud girl wouldn’t take the criticism well.

Zuo Qingluan wanted to scream.

She recalled how Feng Wu had reacted a moment ago.

When the empress dowager scolded Feng Wu, she promptly left without any hesitation. The empress dowager had been furious. However, Emperor Wu still liked Feng Wu, and there was nothing the empress dowager could do.

Zuo Qingluan realized that she envied Feng Wu.
