Chapter 2497 Ahhh!

The best way to do that was to do the emperor a favor!

Zuo Qingluan knew that if she could save Concubine Oriole and the baby, Emperor Wu would be grateful for what she did and would stop questioning her.

She was indeed the culprit who had tripped Concubine Oriole.

“I can help her,” Zuo Qingluan said calmly. “Firmament Palace is known for its medical skills. I’m the sacred lady, and I specialize in medicine.”

She turned to Emperor Wu. “If Your Majesty wants to keep both the lady and the baby alive, I’m the only one who can help them.”

Emperor Wu studied her. The truth was that he didn’t trust her, hence…

“Gao, go get Miss Feng Wu!” That order felt like a slap to Zuo Qingluan’s face.

Why was this even happening?! Why would Emperor Wu trust Feng Wu but not her?!

“Your Majesty!” Zuo Qingluan revered Emperor Wu, but her desire for Jun Linyuan prevailed. She said, “I’m a semi-Supreme Level physician and will soon be at the Supreme Level. Why would Feng Wu…”

“Semi?” Emperor Wu smirked. “Feng Wu passed that level a long time ago.” What was that supposed to mean? Zuo Qingluan was dumbfounded at first. Then, the empress dowager said, “That’s right. Go get Feng Wu. She’s the best candidate for the job.” WHAT?!

Zuo Qingluan’s cheeks flushed with fury.

She remembered the information Tongque had given her. It mentioned that Feng Wu had treated the empress dowager a few times with the assistance of Master Chu, and now, Master Chu was here.

Zuo Qingluan stared at Emperor Wu, and her eyes glinted.

She had been humiliated, and she would have her revenge.

She quickly hatched a plan.

Empress Dugu was also embarrassed. She led Zuo Qingluan to the side and whispered, “Feng Wu is indeed a capable physician. Don’t take the risk.”

Zuo Qingluan smirked. So what if Feng Wu was already a Supreme Level physician?

Other than medical skills, Firmament Palace was also great at something else: assassination. Their undead insects could kill a person without leaving a trace.

“Sure,” Zuo Qingluan replied.

She was so good at controlling her emotions that even Empress Dugu couldn’t see how furious she actually was.

Master Chu and Master Bai were doing their best to help Concubine Oriole.

Zuo Qingluan lowered her gaze.

She had done more than just trip Concubine Oriole.

Without her intervention, both mother and baby would die today!

In the end, the emperor would still have to ask for her help.

That thought greatly satisfied Zuo Qingluan.

Inside, the midwife was doing all she could to get the baby out.

But Concubine Oriole couldn’t go into labor, and the pain was excruciating.

She screamed at the top of her lungs.

Gradually, her voice became weaker.

Master Chu came out with his face covered in sweat. “Your Majesty, the lady is in critical condition, and I really need a hand!”

Emperor Wu gritted his teeth. “Feng Wu isn’t here yet.”

The empress dowager said, “It’s been almost five minutes! Where is she?!”
