Chapter 2508 The First Worshipper

Empress Dugu said, “Your Majesty!” Emperor Wu was going to leave, but he stopped when he heard his wife’s call.

“Your Majesty, it’s not like that! We don’t know what Concubine Oriole’s condition will be like after this or if Feng Wu’s treatment will definitely work.”

“Are you hoping that Concubine Oriole won’t be cured?” Emperor Wu frowned.

“Of course not.” Empress Dugu shook her head and said loudly, “Your Majesty, I’m only saying that Qingluan may be as good a physician as Feng Wu…”

Emperor Wu smiled a little. “I can make my own decision.”

He thought, “I have eyes. I don’t need you to tell me who’s a better physician.”

He turned away from her. Empress Dugu panicked. She knew that the emperor was convinced that Feng Wu was better.

“Your Majesty! Qingluan was the first worshipper of the year, and Master Linghu called her a blessed child! Don’t you trust Master Linghu?” Empress Dugu asked. Hearing that, the empress dowager’s eyes lit up.

Empress Dugu had mentioned it before. Now that she brought it up again, the empress dowager was reminded of this piece of important information.

“That’s right. Master Linghu said so.”

Empress Dugu said, “Your Majesty, Master Linghu made her the first worshipper of the year. She would be the ideal wife for any family!”

The empress dowager nodded to herself.

She liked the idea of “the blessed child.” It would certainly benefit her grandson.

Empress Dugu was thrilled when she saw the empress dowager nod. It seemed that being the first worshipper was enough to cancel out the negative effect of not curing Concubine Oriole.

Nase.

But when she turned to Emperor Wu, she saw something unexpected.

He was sneering as if he knew something.

Empress Dugu’s stomach lurched.

Emperor Wu turned to Zuo Qingluan. “Why did I hear that Feng Wu was the first worshipper?”

Zuo Qingluan went pale.

Why was everyone talking about Feng Wu?

Why was every

Couldn’t she just disappear?!

She took a deep breath and was about to answer, when Emperor Wu said, “I went to Wandering Temple today to pray for the baby. Miss Zuo, were you really the first worshipper at Wandering Temple this year?”

Zuo Qingluan didn’t know what to say.

Empress Dugu panicked.

Zuo Qingluan flushed and said indifferently, “My master is Master Linghu’s friend, and I had the honor to meet Master Linghu the other day. I think Master Linghu was only wishing me good luck when he called me a blessed child.”

She tried to talk her way out of the awkward situation.

But the empress dowager wouldn’t let her, because she felt that her chance had been taken away.

“Were you not the first worshipper?”

Zuo Qingluan shook her head. “My family was the first to worship at Guangyuan Temple.”

Guangyuan Temple was much bigger in size, but Wandering Temple was more famous because of Master Linghu. Hence, Guangyuan Temple was only the second largest temple in the empire.

The empress dowager glared at Zuo Qingluan.
