Chapter 714: What’s That Supposed to Mean?
Empress Dugu hated the empress dowager and Feng Wu even more.
Just then, there was a creaking sound.
The door opened.
“How did it go?” Lady Northern Feng was the first to ask.
Feng Wu gave her a little nod, then said, “It went well. I’ve cleared out the excessive blood in Her Majesty’s head, but that’s only temporary relief.”
“What’s that supposed to mean?” Emperor Wu turned his cold gaze on Feng Wu.
“It means I’ve only cured the symptoms, not the disease. If we don’t find the cause and get rid of it, this can happen again; when that happens, she’ll be beyond saving.”
“Is it that serious?!” Emperor Wu’s face turned livid and he glared at Master Chu.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMaster Chu knelt down. “...Your Majesty, this is all my fault. I’ve been busy with my practice and...”
Emperor Wu ignored Master Chu, then turned back to Feng Wu. “What’s your plan?”
Feng Wu said calmly, “The symptoms are in Her Majesty’s head, but it started in her kidneys. Kidney deficiency results in a lack of nutrition in the liver. The liver then becomes overheated, producing phlegm that can’t be released. That’s why Her Majesty is in such critical condition.
“As the traditional saying goes in my profession, ’emergency treatment is temporary; execute a permanent cure in moderate conditions.’ Now that the most life-threatening period is over, we can make a gradual approach toward a permanent cure. I think I’ll start with the kidneys.”
Emperor Wu went on staring at Feng Wu with a grim look on his face.
Picking up a pen, Feng Wu read out the prescription in an unhurried voice. “We’ll start with Ease Powder to nourish the liver, dispel the evil energy, and reduce phlegm. After that, we’ll move on to a medicine with spine date seed as its chief ingredient, which will further nourish the liver and calm the mind...”
Emperor Wu darted a look at Master Chu.
Master Chu nodded repeatedly. “Yes! That’s perfect!”
Emperor Wu didn’t know what to say.
He turned to Feng Wu. “When will Her Majesty wake up, then?”
“Feed the medicine to her every two hours and Her Majesty should wake up after three doses. It’s just that she won’t be able to regain mobility yet.”
Emperor Wu nodded.
One couldn’t help but doubt Feng Wu’s medical skills because of how young she was. However, she had proven her unquestionable capability. All they could do now was wait six hours.
Emperor Wu had the servants fetch the medicine.
Every minute felt as long as an hour.
Finally, six hours passed.
But the empress dowager showed no sign of waking up.
Empress Dugu clenched her handkerchief, then stared at Feng Wu. “Miss Feng, didn’t you say that Her Majesty would wake up in six hours? But she’s still unconscious.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmFeng Wu looked at the empress with a strange expression on her face.
All eyes were on Feng Wu now and Emperor Wu stared at her with his piercing gaze!
The look on Feng Wu’s face became even stranger. She went up to the empress dowager and checked her pulse.
She then withdrew her hand and slowly rose to her feet.
“Feng Wu, did you make Her Majesty worse?! The empress dowager isn’t waking up, is she?!” Empress Dugu cried out.
Emperor Wu looked like he was ready to kill someone!
Feng Wu still said nothing.
Empress Dugu was so sure that Feng Wu had failed to save the empress dowager!
A gloating look flickered in her eyes!
Feng Wu was so doomed! She was!
However, Empress Dugu was still laughing inwardly when —
