Chapter 1475: Untitled
“How dare you curse me?! You defiant girl! Take her out and cut her head off!”
Feng Wu was speechless.
She turned around and shrugged at Emperor Wu. “It’s not that I don’t want to treat the empress dowager, but Her Majesty won’t allow me. Please don’t blame me when Her Majesty’s condition deteriorates.”
After that, she ignored the empress dowager, who was drained of all color from the pain, and turned to leave.
Emperor Wu was dumbfounded. He couldn’t imagine that someone could be as bold as his defiant son!
“Feng Wu!” Emperor Wu bellowed.
Feng Wu paused and looked at Emperor Wu in resignation. “Her Majesty is blessed, and her condition isn’t life-threatening for now. But it will get worse, and she’ll be in more and more pain.”
After a pause, Feng Wu added, “When that happens, her condition will be so severe that no medicine will work on her, and there’s nothing I will be able to do.”
Emperor Wu was dumbfounded, but he soon realized what she said. “Then why are you still leaving? Treat her now!”
Feng Wu shrugged. “Her Majesty won’t let me.”
Emperor Wu’s face darkened. “Treat her! That’s an order!”
With no other choice, Feng Wu went up to the empress dowager and said, “Your Majesty, I’m going to treat you…”
“Go away!!! I would rather die than have you treat me! Get out!” The empress dowager didn’t try to hide her resentment of Feng Wu.
Feng Wu looked at Emperor Wu in resignation. “The patient is out of control, which will hasten the deterioration. Her Majesty is only going to make herself worse.”
Emperor Wu was furious, but there was nothing he could do.
In the end, Feng Wu left.
It was a very difficult night for the empress dowager, and she almost passed out from the pain several times.
The second day —
Things only got worse.
The old lady couldn’t even get up. She kept making incoherent sounds, and one could tell from her pale face and trembling body that she was in extreme pain.
Emperor Wu kept giving Master Chu more pressure, but what could Master Chu do? He had to go to Feng Wu repeatedly.
Feng Wu came several times, but the empress dowager just wouldn’t let her…
It was the same thing all over again.
On the third morning, the empress dowager was practically unconscious. She was too dizzy to even open her eyes.
She really could die if they didn’t do anything.
Meanwhile, all the families of the officials had gathered around the empress dowager’s courtyard and were flustered.
It was as if the air had frozen.
“Is Her Majesty sick?”
“We’ve only been here for a short while, and Her Majesty is already sick. The winter hunt is going to be suspended.”
“That’s not the main consequence, but the possibility that Her Majesty may…”
“Have you heard? Feng Wu was invited inside.”
“What’s she doing there?”
“Isn’t she supposed to be a good doctor? I think she’s here to treat the empress dowager.”
“I’m going to laugh. She’s just a girl. A good doctor? Give me a break!”
–
When the ladies were together, they whispered among themselves, and Feng Wu was the main topic of conversation.
“Hey, isn’t it Lady Wang?”
Soon, they noticed that Feng Yanfeng’s wife was there as well.
Lady Wang didn’t have anywhere to hide and soon became the center of attention.
Mrs Zuo’s eyes flickered when she saw Lady Wang, and she smiled. “Lady Wang, Feng Wu is the fifth daughter of your clan, isn’t she?”
