In the empress dowager’s eyes, Feng Wu should feel honored to be given the chance to treat a member of the royal family.
Emperor Wu said apologetically, “Xiao Wu, sorry about this. Concubine Oriole doesn’t know what she’s talking about. After the baby is born, I’ll make her apologize to you.”
Feng Wu waved him off. “There’s no need. If I’m not needed here, I’ll go back home.”
She promptly left after that.
Everyone was astonished. She left. Just like that?
How could she?
How could she act so arrogantly in front of the royal family? The empress dowager was furious.
“Let her go! We’ll be just fine without her! Concubine Oriole will be fine!” The empress dowager smirked. “How can a girl of her age have such a temper?!”
Jun Wuxia said, “My brother likes her just fine.”
The empress dowager wanted to smack Jun Wuxia on the head.
“Let Zuo Qingluan treat Oriole!” said the empress dowager. She then turned to Emperor Wu. “You may not trust the skills of Firmament Palace, but I do! Zuo Qingluan is a much better physician than Feng Wu!
“Go inside! If the prince is born safely, I’ll give you a big reward!” the empress dowager told Zuo Qingluan.
Zuo Qingluan bowed politely before going into the room.
The empress dowager was pleased. “That’s a perfect bow. She must have worked very hard on it.”
Granny Gui immediately said, “That’s so true. Her knees were bent at the perfect angle. It was so beautiful.”
Apart from Granny Gui, the empress dowager also had Granny Lan as her maid. pared with Granny Gui, Granny Lan was a much more decent person.
She thought, Does she know how urgent the situation is? Nobody cares about a perfect bow! Of course, she wouldn’t dare say that out loud.
The empress dowager glared at Emperor Wu. “You’ve indulged that Feng Wu too much! How could she walk out on us like that? She needs to be tamed!”
Emperor Wu took a deep breath as he listened to his mother’s ranting.
Concubine Oriole was very frustrating, but Xiao Wu had left so quickly, too…
“I’ll talk to her later. She’s as stubborn as Jun Linyuan. I’ll make sure that she’s disciplined.”
“Disciplined?!”
The empress dowager couldn’t believe her ears. “If anything happens to Concubine Oriole and the baby, I’ll kill her!”
Emperor Wu said, “I’m sure that isn’t her fault.”
The empress dowager wanted to kick Emperor
Wu.
What happened to her docile son?!
The empress dowager smirked. “If Zuo Qingluan wasn’t here, Concubine Oriole and the baby would have been left to die! i’ll never forget what Feng Wu did!”
