Jun Wuxia took a deep breath and smiled wryly. “Even if I told you that she’s a princess, would that have stopped you from trying to kill her?”
That was very true.
Sefiro was rendered speechless, but she soon reacted and cracked her whip.
“You didn’t tell me, so it’s all your fault!”
Enraged, Jun Wuxia lost her temper. She was about to argue with Sefiro, when Jun Wuyu tugged her sleeve, shook her head, and mouthed something to her.
Jun Wuxia immediately took the hint and realized that confronting Sefiro wouldn’t do her any good.
Hence, she immediately changed her strategy. Dabbing the corner of her eyes with her sleeve, she let tears roll down her cheeks, and she sobbed.
“Princess Sefiro, you’re right. It’s all my fault… I should have reminded you in time and stopped you. I’m so sorry…”
Jun Wuxia wept and knelt down in front of Emperor Wu. “Father, it’s all my fault. Sefiro went through all that because of me. Please punish me for it —”
Next to them, Feng Wu couldn’t help but glance at Jun Wuyu.
Other people might not have noticed, but Feng Wu saw how Jun Wuyu had warned Jun Wuxia.
She could read lips, so she could tell what Jun Wuyu had said.
Feng Wu.
Jun Wuyu was telling Jun Wuxia that she should copy what Feng Wu had done in the empress dowager’s tent before and show fragility.
As expected, Jun Wuxia admitted all her mistakes and cried. Instead of scolding her, Emperor Wu turned his anger on Sefiro.
Sefiro was so simple-minded that all she did was yell, “Jun Wuxia told me to kill Feng Wu!”
Jun Wuxia kept crying. “Father, it’s all my fault. I’m sorry…”
Chieftain Senal couldn’t sit still anymore.
He immediately got up and tried to help Jun Wuxia to her feet. “My dear princess, please get up. Sefiro was too arrogant; it’s not your fault. Please get up.”
After helping the sobbing Jun Wuxia up, Chieftain Senal turned to Emperor Wu with a wry smile. “Everything’s clear now. Luckily, Princess Feng Wu isn’t hurt…”
Feng Wu slowly raised her wounded right arm.
“Well —” Chieftain Senal cleared his throat in embarrassment. “Luckily, it’s only a minor injury…”
Feng Wu’s legs gave out, and she almost fainted. Fortunately, Feng Xun caught her in time.
Master Chu was right next to Emperor Wu. He had interacted a lot with Feng Wu because of the empress dowager’s illness, and Feng Wu had left a great impression on him.
Seeing this, he immediately rushed to her side.
“No!” Master Chu caught Feng Wu and checked her pulse. He then cried out, “Princess Feng Wu has been poisoned!”
Master Chu was a smart man himself. He knew what Feng Wu needed most right now, so he helped her!
“The whip is covered with poison, which has entered the princess’s blood. It’s about to reach her heart. If we wait any longer, her life will be in danger!” Master Chu cried out.
Emperor Wu almost rolled his eyes.
He knew what an excellent doctor Feng Wu was; she would never let herself be killed like that. He could tell that Master Chu was biased.
But of course Emperor Wu wouldn’t expose Master Chu’s lie, and he looked quite nervous himself. “How is she? How’s she doing?!”
