Chapter 2506 Zuo Qingluan Panics

The empress dowager ignored Zuo Qingluan’s embarrassment and kept staring at her.

Zuo Qingluan was so furious that she wanted to scratch the old lady’s eyes out. But she calmed down in the end and told herself, “Zuo Qingluan, you have the True Phoenix Blood, and you’re going to marry Jun Linyuan. You’ll be the winner in the end!”

The thought finally made Zuo Qingluan control her temper.

She said indifferently, “Concubine Oriole’s condition is quite complicated, and she can’t be cured so easily. Plenty of medicine can create the illusion of the patient becoming better before their condition worsens again.”

An illusion?!

The empress dowager had almost given up on Zuo Qingluan, but she was shocked when she heard Zuo Qingluan’s diagnosis. Zuo Qingluan said, “That’s right. The patient will look fine for a short period of time, but they’ll quickly weaken and die.” That was the only possibility Zuo Qingluan could think of.

Because that was what she would make happen. Hence, she reached that conclusion.

The empress dowager asked suspiciously, “Are you sure?”

Zuo Qingluan said, “It’s very possible.”

NS

The empress dowager asked, “How are you going to prove it?”

Zuo Qingluan smiled. “That’s easy. Let me check Concubine Oriole’s pulse.”

She was so certain that even Emperor Wu believed her.

Concubine Oriole had been very cheerful, but her stomach lurched when she heard that.

She gave Emperor Wu a pleading look. The empress dowager said, “Check Concubine Oriole’s pulse, then.” At the end of the day, the empress dowager still cared about herself more.

If Zuo Qingluan really was a better physician, the empress dowager wouldn’t need to tolerate Feng Wu anymore.

The servants carried Concubine Oriole out of the delivery room.

Cining Palace was the empress dowager’s residence, and Concubine Oriole couldn’t stay here forever.

Concubine Oriole gave Zuo Qingluan her hand, but she was on guard.

She had grown to trust Feng Wu more than Zuo Qingluan.

When Zuo Qingluan checked Concubine Oriole’s pulse, she was so astonished that her fingers trembled a little.

What the heck?!

Although Concubine Oriole’s pulse was weaker than a healthy person’s, it was within the normal range.

The undead insect was supposed to turn into a potent toxin when it was destroyed, but Concubine Oriole showed no sign of having been poisoned.

How could this be?

Had someone neutralized the poison already? Was it Feng Wu?

“What did you give her? Show me the bottle,” Zuo Qingluan said to Master Chu.

Master Chu asked, “Miss Zuo, how is Concubine Oriole doing?”

Zuo Qingluan wanted to say that Concubine Oriole was going to die… But that would make her a liar!

She wanted to poison Concubine Oriole again, but to her frustration —

When she tried to put another undead insect inside Concubine Oriole, the insect wouldn’t go in.

Fearing that the insect would be spotted, Zuo Qingluan had to retrieve it.

Not only wouldn’t the undead insect go inside Concubine Oriole, it also seemed frightened.

What was it afraid of?

The first one had gone in just fine.

Zuo Qingluan panicked a little.

The undead insect was her secret weapon, and she had defeated many enemies with it. But

now…
