Chapter 2501 Zuo Qingluan Realizes Something Is Wrong
Emperor Wu didn’t know what to say.
In the delivery room.
Zuo Qingluan knew where to find the undead insect which she had put inside the mother.
To avoid any suspicion, she couldn’t find the source of the problem too fast.
Concubine Oriole looked expectantly at Zuo Qingluan. “Miss Qingluan, please help me… You’re my only hope now. I don’t trust Feng Wu…” Concubine Oriole whimpered.
She wanted to cry and shout, but she was too exhausted to raise her voice.
Zuo Qingluan smirked.
Help her?
That had never been part of her plan.
If Concubine Oriole was kept alive, other people might find evidence on her that could lead back to Zuo Qingluan. Therefore, the lady had to die.
But Concubine Oriole didn’t know that. She looked at Zuo Qingluan and relaxed a little.
Then, Zuo Qingluan realized that something was wrong.
Her undead insect was supposed to be at the entrance of the mother’s womb. Zuo Qingluan could use the insect in her own body to control the one inside Concubine Oriole and guide it out of her womb. That way, she wouldn’t leave any evidence behind.
It was a perfect plan, but…
She couldn’t sense the other undead insect anymore.
It was dead!
Zuo Qingluan was shocked.
How could that happen?
That undead insect was a top-level one!
She had been feeding it her blood every day. It shouldn’t have died so easily!
Come out…
Zuo Qingluan tried to lure out the undead insect.
But no matter how hard she tried, nothing happened.
Soon –
“It hurts…” Concubine Oriole’s voice grew weaker and weaker.
Zuo Qingluan turned to Master Chu. “A natural birth is out of the question. Our only option is to cut Concubine Oriole’s belly open and take out the baby!”
Master Chu said, “But that will kill the mother!”
Looking at Concubine Oriole, who was slipping into unconsciousness, Zuo Qingluan said coldly, “It’s either her or the baby. Which one is it going to be?”
Master Chu said, “It’s not our call. Concubine Oriole should be the one making that choice. She alone has the right to decide who lives.”
He remained level-headed.
Zuo Qingluan smirked. “The empress dowager gave me the order before I came in: If only one of them can live, choose the baby. I’m simply following her order.”
She then took out a dagger and aimed it at Concubine Oriole’s belly.
She needed to move fast.
That was because the undead insect turned into blood after it died, and the baby was absorbing it now. If she waited any longer, the baby would die.
“Your blade isn’t disinfected!” Master Chu stared at her. “Miss Feng Wu says that all blades need to be disinfected. A dirty blade will get the patient killed!”
Zuo Qingluan glared at him. “She’s going to die, anyway. Master Chu, move aside.”
