“You!” Master Chu stared at Feng Wu so hard that his eyes almost popped out. “Tell me Lady Northern Feng was joking.”
Feng Wu only smiled.
Instead of answering the question, she went up to the empress dowager and stuck a handful of silver needles in the old lady’s head.
“Her Majesty is in grave danger. Master Chu, are you sure this is the right time to interrogate me?”
Master Chu was speechless.
He wanted to retort, but was rendered speechless by Feng Wu’s consummate acupuncture skills.
Facts spoke louder than words.
As soon as he saw Feng Wu in action, Master Chu realized that the girl was an exceptional medical practitioner.
Feng Wu looked around at the crowd, then shook her head at Emperor Wu. “There are too many people here.”
Master Chu stared at Feng Wu. “Are you going to treat Her Majesty now?!”
Feng Wu looked back at him in bewilderment. “Her Majesty is in critical condition. She could die without immediate treatment. I have to start as soon as possible.”
“Can you promise you’ll cure Her Majesty?” Emperor Wu fixed his intimidating gaze on Feng Wu, which sent a chill down her spine.
Feng Wu looked back at Emperor Wu and said in a much more polite tone,”Your Majesty, Her Majesty the empress dowager is very ill and no doctor can say that they’re 100% sure they can cure a patient. I’m no exception.”
She then quickly drafted a letter of commitment. “Your Majesty, I’ll start treating Her Majesty after you sign this.”
Emperor Wu took a look at the piece of paper and his face turned livid. “Nonsense!”
Spiritual essence swept across the room like a gust of wind!
Everyone dropped to their knees!
Feng Wu felt an unfathomable force pressing down on her shoulders.
Rumble —
Every part of Feng Wu cried out in pain and her knees almost turned numb.
Such was the formidable power of the ruler of the Junwu Empire!
Everyone else had prostrated on the floor and Feng Wu was the only one standing.
Emperor Wu was indeed worthy of his fame. One couldn’t begin to imagine the horror of being his target.
Even their souls quivered.
Compared with Emperor Wu, Feng Wu was as fragile as a newborn.
She was soaked in cold sweat. Blue veins popped on her skin and blood began to ooze out of her pores.
She was being crushed!
She couldn’t stop her slender legs from shaking!
When facing absolute strength, willpower and endurance were nothing but jokes.
Thump —
Feng Wu’s legs gave out and she dropped to her knees with a thump!
She wasn’t submitting to a ruler, but to his unquestionable strength!
“Are you insisting on the signature?” asked Emperor Wu in a majestic, impassive voice. His gaze felt like icy blades on her skin.
Emperor Wu was a dutiful son. He had never forgotten the days when he and his mother depended on each other for survival in a forgotten corner of the imperial palace. His mother had gone through many tribulations to make him emperor.
Hence, he valued his mother more than anyone else.
That was why here in Cining Palace, Emperor Wu and the empress dowager could interact like any ordinary mother and son without the ritualistic formalities.
Now that the empress dowager’s life was in danger, Emperor Wu was as worried as he was furious.
“Your Majesty…”
Master Chu wanted to interject, but Emperor Wu only stared at him with cold eyes and stressed each word. “If anything happens to Her Majesty, Chu Feiran, what do you think will happen to your head?”
Master Chu broke into a cold sweat.
