Chapter 2507 Humiliated Again
Naturally, Master Chu was on Feng Wu’s side. He asked Zuo Qingluan, “Miss Zuo, what do you think of Concubine Oriole’s condition?”
Before Zuo Qingluan could answer, Master Chu said, “Master Bai and I have examined Concubine Oriole already. She’s doing fine. What do you think?”
Zuo Qingluan didn’t know what to say.
Her face was livid.
She was furious that Concubine Oriole was doing very well.
Moreover, when she tried to poison Concubine Oriole again, the undead insect kept running away.
Master Chu wouldn’t let Zuo Qingluan off the hook.
Emperor Wu realized it as well and joined in. “Do you think there’s something wrong with Concubine Oriole?”
Zuo Qingluan shook her head.
Emperor Wu asked, “Do you think there’s something wrong with Feng Wu’s treatment, then?”
Zuo Qingluan was filled with rage, but she had no choice but to shake her head again. Emperor Wu said, “In that case, let go. You’re keeping Concubine Oriole from getting her
rest.”
With a wave of his hand, the servants carried Concubine Oriole back to her own palace.
What Zuo Qingluan failed to notice was Concubine Oriole glaring at her as if they were enemies.
Zuo Qingluan had tried to kill her!
Concubine Oriole had noticed it.
When Zuo Qingluan checked her pulse, she had tried to plant an insect in her!
It was tinier than a sesame seed, and Zuo Qingluan had hidden it in her nail. No one else had noticed.
But Concubine Oriole had almost died tonight, so she was more careful than everyone else.
Zuo Qingluan had given up on her, but she was saved by Feng Wu’s potion. After that, Concubine Oriole began to suspect Zuo Qingluan.
She tried to recall the moment she fell, and she seemed to remember a force coming from Zuo Qingluan’s direction. Now, Zuo Qingluan had tried to put an insect in her!
Concubine Oriole hated Zuo Qingluan to the bone, but Zuo Qingluan still knew nothing of it.
Or maybe she did know, but she simply didn’t care. To her, Concubine Oriole wasn’t worth her concern.
Concubine Oriole sat up in bed and told a maid, “Fetch me some paper!”
She was going to write to her brother to tell him that if something happened to her son, Zuo Qingluan was the culprit.
“Zuo Qingluan was helping Empress Dugu and tried to kill me!
“Empress Dugu, I’ve done everything for you! When His Majesty came to visit me, I persuaded him to go to your palace instead. However, you want to kill me!”
Concubine Oriole now hated both Zuo Qingluan and Empress Dugu.
Those two women would never have thought that the incident today would bring them so much trouble in the future…
1 SO
Zuo Qingluan was cornered by Emperor Wu. Emperor Wu said, “It was a life and death situation. If you can’t do it, just say so. There’s always someone better out there.”
He walked away after that, displeased by Zuo Qingluan’s dark face.
Empress Dugu panicked.
She knew that if she let Emperor Wu leave like that, he would never like Zuo Qingluan again. She had to think of something to distract him.
