Chapter 1484: Untitled

The fifth princess said, “I heard that Her Majesty wouldn’t let Feng Wu treat her.”

Jun Wuxia waved her off. “Her Majesty can dislike Feng Wu as much as she wants, but Feng Wu has a duty to treat Her Majesty. Since she sent the dragon wood fiber powder, she has to know that Her Majesty is in critical condition. Why won’t she come here when Her Majesty’s life is hanging in the balance? What hidden agenda does Feng Wu have?!”

Empress Dugu had raised Jun Wuxia into a spoiled princess. She had always been willful and reckless, so why would she suddenly become so sensible and methodical?

Granny Gong kept her gaze on the princess and realized that someone had to be helping her out.

She looked from Jun Wuxia to a maid standing next to her.

The maid was called Yulian.

Yulian’s stomach lurched when she saw the look in Granny Gong’s eyes.

“Granny Gong, don’t you want to explain on Feng Wu’s behalf? If not, should we conclude that Feng Wu is disrespecting Her Majesty?” Jun Wuxia smiled at Granny Gong.

Having served in the imperial palace for so many years, Granny Gong was too experienced to be intimidated by Jun Wuxia.

She said calmly, “Miss Wu indeed knows how critical Her Majesty’s condition is. She knew that three days ago.”

Wow —

All eyes were on Granny Gong, and everyone was shocked by that bold statement.

Granny Gong went on. “Miss Wu also knew that Her Majesty would need the dragon wood fiber powder today, so she went out with a basket before sunrise this morning on her own and went into the mountains. She searched throughout the day until the moon rose, when she finally found a dragon wood fiber plant. She then brought it back and turned it into a powder.”

After a pause, Granny Gong added, “Miss Wu knows that Her Majesty doesn’t like her, so to avoid agitating Her Majesty and exacerbating her condition, Miss Wu gave up this great opportunity to show off her contribution.”

Looking around, Granny Gong said, “If you don’t believe me, just wait and see. If Master Chu can save Her Majesty with the dragon wood fiber powder, you’ll know I’m telling the truth and how sincere Miss Feng Wu is.”

That was an impressive speech. Not only did Granny Gong sabotage the trap Jun Wuxia had set, she also made Feng Wu out to be someone who wasn’t eager to claim credit.

Jun Wuxia clenched her fists angrily and glared at Granny Gong.

Granny Gong wasn’t intimidated at all and only smiled back at her.

The atmosphere felt rather strange.

Just then —

The closed door finally opened.

Master Chu and Master Bai came out, supporting each other.

“How did it go?” Emperor Wu was the first to react, and he grabbed Master Chu’s arm.

Master Chu looked like someone who had just escaped death. He breathed out slowly, and there was a faint smile on his face.

He said, “It was very dangerou at first, and we almost didn’t succeed. Luckily, Miss Feng Wu’s dragon wood fiber powder arrived in time. Otherwise, the consequence would have been unthinkable.”

Master Bai shook his head as well. “Her Majesty wouldn’t stop bleeding. Without the powder, she wouldn’t have made it.”

She would have died!

Everyone knew what Master Bai meant.

That was why they were so shocked!

“Is that dragon wood fiber powder so miraculous?” Emperor Wu cried out.

Master Chu said, “A medicine is the most valuable when it’s used correctly. Miss Feng Wu is a genius in this respect. I would never have thought about this medicine myself.”
