“Take her! Take Feng Wu down! She wants to kill Her Majesty the empress dowager!”
Lady Northern Feng was infuriated!
Damn that Empress Dugu. That woman was always trying to stir things up.
Lady Northern Feng moved before she could think. She slapped Empress Dugu. “Shut the f**k up!”
Wow —
Everyone was dumbfounded!
O.M.G.
That was the empress!
The wife of the emperor!
Empress Dugu of the famous Dugu clan!
And Lady Northern Feng had just slapped her!
Even Empress Dugu herself was baffled and she stared at Lady Northern Feng in disbelief. “How… How dare you hit me?!”
Lady Northern Feng brushed her aside. “Her Majesty is in grave danger and you’re only thinking about taking personal revenge! Is that what an empress should do? I don’t have time for this! His Majesty can punish me however he wants after Her Majesty is saved. One more word and I’ll kill you!”
Lady Northern Feng glared at the empress when she said the last few words.
Her tone was as bone-chilling as the look in her eyes.
Empress Dugu’s stomach lurched.
She hated Lady Northern Feng, but she knew perfectly well that if she kept bickering with Lady Northern Feng, even her husband wouldn’t take her side.
Emperor Wu, the filial son, could no longer think straight when he saw the condition the empress dowager was in. He was at a loss over what to do.
“Where are the imperial physicians? Fetch Master Chu!”
Emperor Wu yelled.
The maids and eunuchs all rushed out to look for Master Chu.
Meanwhile, Feng Wu had taken out a row of silver needles.
Whoosh!
With the needles in her right hand, Feng Wu removed the empress dowager’s robe with her left hand.
“What are you doing?!” Emperor Wu glared at Feng Wu with a murderous look on his face.
Any other person would be quivering under the pressure and lose their composure.
Feng Wu only looked at Emperor Wu and stated the facts in a level tone. “Her Majesty is gravely ill at the moment. If I don’t do anything, she’ll be dead in three minutes. I can buy her an additional fifteen minutes. Your Majesty, it’s up to you now.”
Although the old lady didn’t like her, Feng Wu had to do something for her own sake.
Moreover, Feng Wu knew that Jun Linyuan was close to the old lady. If he knew that Feng Wu refused to help his grandmother, she would be in a lot of trouble.
Chest heaving, Emperor Wu was astonished by Feng Wu’s words.
“Three minutes?”
“Yes. Two minutes and fifty seconds now.”
“You…” His mother was convulsing on the floor.
“Can you promise you can save her?”
Lady Northern Feng rushed over before Feng Wu could reply. She stared at Emperor Wu. “I, Shi Yaran, swear on my life! If Feng Wu fails to save Her Majesty, you can cut my head off!”
Emperor Wu kept his gaze on Lady Northern Feng.
“One minute,” Feng Wu reminded him in a calm voice.
Emperor Wu gritted his teeth. Master Chu still hadn’t shown up, and if they waited any longer…
“Fine! I’ll have your head on a plate if you can’t save my mother!”
Hardly had Emperor Wu finished his sentence when Feng Wu stuck the silver needles into the old lady.
She used 18 needles in total from the old lady’s head to her abdomen.
It took Feng Wu less than three seconds to work all the needles in.
That skill alone was enough to baffle Emperor Wu.
Then, Feng Wu flipped her right hand up and a dot of pale green light appeared in her palm.
