Suya realized what happened when she saw Qiuling.
“What happened? What happened?” Master Chu yelled.
People made way for Master Chu when they heard his voice.
Seeing Feng Wu, Master Chu immediately asked, “Do you need me to treat her?”
Feng Wu nodded.
Sefiro could keep Feng Wu away from Lady Tung, but she couldn’t turn Master Chu down.
Empress Dugu threw a dirty look at Suya.
Suya lowered her head.
Master Chu frowned after checking Lady Tung’s pulse.
“How is she?” Feng Wu asked.
Master Chu shook his head. “I’m not sure.”
Feng Wu looked perplexed.
Master Chu gave her a wry smile. “She’s indeed pregnant. There’s no doubt about that.”
Sefiro shouted, “What do you mean? Did you think that Lady Tung faked the pregnancy? How dare you?!”
Everyone around them accused Feng Wu with their eyes and shook their heads. That was an outrageous idea.
“But… there’s indeed something strange about the fetus.” Master Chu frowned a little. “It’s quite peculiar.”
Feng Wu frowned. “What?”
Master Chu said, “After all my years as a physician, this is the first time I’ve seen such a thing. It’s very strange indeed.”
Seeing that Master Chu was friendly to Feng Wu, Sefiro deemed him an enemy. She immediately said, “The master teacher said that Lady Tung’s child will be the future sun of our grassland. You just aren’t lucky enough to see it!”
Master Chu glanced at Sefiro but didn’t say a word.
Feng Wu said calmly, “Master Chu, you can’t tell how the baby is doing, but you’re sure about Lady Tung’s condition, right?”
Master Chu nodded.
Feng Wu frowned. “How is she doing now?”
Master Chu said, “Lady Tung, you’ve been sacrificing yourself for the fetus. You have abdominal cramps and numb hands and feet from time to time, am I correct?”
Immediately, everyone stared at Lady Tung.
Even Queen Thy looked surprised.
Sacrificing herself for the fetus?
Lady Tung’s face was drained of all color.
Holding her belly, she shook her head, looking terrified.
Master Chu remained unperturbed and said seriously, “You have to take a herb known as Sunleave Grass, and you have to eat it raw. Otherwise, you’ll feel an itchy and prickly feeling all over your body, as if you’re being bitten by ten thousand ants. Am I right?”
Pressing her hands to her stomach, Lady Tung shook her head repeatedly. “No, no —”
Feng Wu smiled. “No? Then what have you been hiding in your hands all this time?”
Immediately, all eyes were on Lady Tung.
Lady Tung looked even more terrified. She did nothing but shake her head and sob.
“Do you think we won’t search you?” Feng Wu smirked.
Meanwhile, Lady Tung seemed to have reached her limit. She swayed and fell backward.
“Lady Tung! Lady Tung!” Sefiro shouted in great agitation. She looked up and yelled at Feng Wu, “You killed Lady Tung! Feng Wu, you killed her!”
Crossing her hands behind her, Feng Wu smiled but didn’t say anything.
“Princess Ranmil is here! Make way —” Just then, they heard a melodious voice.
Princess Ranmil?
Feng Wu noticed that as soon as that name was mentioned, people of both the Junwu Empire and the Senal Grassland stirred.
She had the feeling that it was an important person.
She thus glanced at Granny Gong in bewilderment.
