Feng Wu gritted her teeth. "He must have something to do with my mother's coma!"
Feng Wu had to get the antidote she needed from this man.
The look on Lady Northern Feng's face grew more solemn, indicating that she would think about it.
At this moment, someone from the palace arrived.
It was Eunuch Gao, who served the emperor. He heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Feng Wu.
"Our family's young lady Xiao Wu, you're still alive, you scared us to death."
Eunuch Gao was on Jun Linyuan's side, so he had always been very nice to Feng Wu.
Feng Wu smiled wryly. "It seems that everyone in the imperial capital thinks that I died in Northern Yan. Does His Majesty think so too?"
Eunuch Gao smiled and said, "Although His Majesty is worried, he said that you have nine lives and that you will definitely be fine. He also said …"
Feng Wu asked, "What else did Your Majesty say?"
Eunuch Gao chuckled. "His Majesty also said that as the saying goes, 'Scourges live for a thousand years'. You're a scourge who's been trying to get His Royal Highness to live for a thousand years, so there's no way you're going to die. His Majesty even punished those who spread the rumors."
Feng Wu asked, "So … did Her Majesty eat an extra bowl of rice?"
Eunuch Gao smiled bitterly and didn't answer Feng Wu.
The empress dowager was really … Feng Wu didn't want to talk to her anymore.
"What brings you here, Master Gao?" Feng Wu asked.
Eunuch Gao said, "His Majesty wants to see you, Miss Wu. How long have you been back? You still haven't entered the palace to see His Majesty. When do you plan to see him? His Majesty has a lot of questions to ask you. "
Feng Wu was about to say something, but Eunuch Gao cut in. "Don't tell me you can't enter the imperial palace without an audience. Who are you? Have you forgotten your badge? You can go anywhere in the Junwu Empire, and it'll be like His Majesty himself! "
Feng Wu waved her hand with a wry smile. "I can't outtalk you. Let's go to the palace now."
"Alright!" Eunuch Gao led her into the imperial palace without any effort.
"By the way, Lady Northern Feng," Eunuch Gao said to her before he left, "You'd better go home. His Majesty has an order."
Edict?
Why was he so insistent?
Judging from Eunuch Gao's expression, it didn't seem like anything had happened.
"His Majesty wants to welcome Miss Feng Wu back. He's going to hold a banquet in Tai Chi Palace. All the family members of officials above the fourth rank have to come."
Eunuch Gao still remembered His Majesty's words.
Each and every one of them says our Xiao Wu is dead. Humph, we call them all to Taiji Palace, as well as those gossipy women. Let them open their eyes and see clearly that our youngest daughter-in-law is still alive! He was alive and well!
Eunuch Gao covered his mouth and chuckled when he heard those words. Lady Northern Feng couldn't help but chuckle as well.
Feng Wu blushed and said, "What are you talking about? We haven't even started yet. Don't talk nonsense! Moreover, the most important thing right now is the poison in Mother's body. If Mother doesn't wake up, I won't consider anything else. "
Everyone's faces turned serious when they heard that.
Lady Northern Feng was the first to react. "Poison? You said that Second Madam was poisoned? It's not an incurable disease? "
Feng Wu shook her head, but didn't say anything.
To avoid … alerting the enemy.
Feng Wu followed Eunuch Gao into the imperial palace, while Lady Northern Feng went back to her residence to prepare for the banquet that night.
In the imperial study.
Emperor Wu stared at Feng Wu in excitement. His eyes were red, and it was obvious that he was really excited.
He stood on the stairs and stared at Feng Wu.
Those who didn't know better would think that they were father and daughter.
"Your Majesty, may you be safe and sound."
As soon as Feng Wu bowed, Emperor Wu went up to her in a hurry and patted her on the shoulder in surprise. "Kiddo, you're still alive! I'm right, how could a little scourge like you be in trouble? Hahaha — "
Emperor Wu immediately asked Feng Wu about what had happened on her way back.
Feng Wu told him everything she knew. As for what happened to her sixth senior brother, she didn't tell him because it was confidential.
"Northern Yan Emperor is so nice to you? And he punished Princess Yan Xi because of you? "Emperor Wu was surprised.
Feng Wu nodded. "When I came back, Northern Yan Emperor had already destroyed Princess Yan Xi's cultivation ability and sent her to a nunnery. I don't think she'll be able to come out for the rest of her life."
Emperor Wu was surprised. "Why is he so nice to you?"
All of a sudden, Emperor Wu grew anxious. "He wants you to be his daughter-in-law? He wants you to marry his prince?! "
Feng Wu immediately smiled. "That's impossible. Even His Royal Highness won't agree to it."
"Apart from Northern Yan, who else is after you?" Emperor Wu had already sent people to investigate, but they hadn't returned yet.
Feng Wu counted on her fingers. "Apart from Northern Yan, there's also the Zuo family, Blossom Love Valley, Firmament Palace, and Dongsang State."
Emperor Wu stared at Feng Wu in amazement. "You're still alive despite being surrounded by so many highly skilled cultivators? Hahaha, no wonder they heard about your death. Anyone else would never have made it back alive. You're the only one who has more lives than a cat. You're so cunning. "
"But!"
Emperor Wu's face darkened. "I've already warned them, but they still went after you. They're trying to kill the Junwu Empire, and I'll never forgive them!"
"And about my mother." Feng Wu stared at Emperor Wu solemnly.
The second lady of the Su family was the most beautiful woman in the world, and even Emperor Wu regarded her as a goddess. Naturally, he was concerned about her.
"My mother didn't die of despair. She was poisoned."
"What? Poisoned? "Emperor Wu's face turned scarlet." Who? Who did it?! "
Feng Wu shook her head. "A barefoot girl with two peak-level Martial Saints protecting her. Your Majesty, have you ever seen someone like that?"
As soon as Feng Wu said those words, she saw Emperor Wu frown, as if something bad had just occurred to him.
"Have you?" Feng Wu asked affirmatively.
Emperor Wu didn't answer Feng Wu's question directly. After some thought, he stared at Feng Wu and said solemnly, "That person … Don't provoke her. She's not someone you can afford to offend. Be a good girl and don't go looking for her."
Feng Wu frowned. "My mother won't wake up if I can't find her. How can I let that happen?"
Feng Wu stumbled back and stared at Emperor Wu. "I've been cultivating so hard to protect the people I care about. My mother is lying in bed now, and I don't even know if she's alive or not. You're telling me that I can't go looking for the person who poisoned her?"
"Heh, she's just a peak-level Spiritual Nation cultivator. Are you sure you can't afford to offend her?! "Feng Wu smirked.
If he really pissed her off, she had a lot of Senior Brothers! And her beautiful master! She wasn't afraid of him!
Emperor Wu looked at Feng Wu in resignation. Look at the girl's tone.
"She's just a peak-level Spiritual Nation cultivator. Are you sure you can't afford to offend her? " Emperor Wu patted Feng Wu on the head. "Don't be so impulsive. Yes, you've made rapid progress and you're a genius, but you haven't been cultivating for long. You're only at the beginning stage of the Spiritual Nation stage now …"
"The peak stage of the Spiritual Nation stage," Feng Wu answered calmly.
"The Spiritual Nation stage … what's that?!" Emperor Wu suddenly realized what Feng Wu was talking about. His eyes widened and he stared at Feng Wu. "What did you just say?!"
Feng Wu said, "The peak of the Spiritual Nation stage!"
Emperor Wu said, "Wait. Didn't you fight the Zuo and Hua families when you left the imperial capital? You were only at the beginning stage of the Spiritual Nation stage back then. It's only been three months, and you've already reached the peak stage?! That can't be! "
Emperor Wu looked at Feng Wu and then at Eunuch Gao, who was standing a short distance away.
Eunuch Gao, on the other hand, nodded at Emperor Wu.
Anyone who could be Emperor Wu's personal bodyguard wasn't just a good servant. They had to be very powerful as well.
Emperor Wu pointed at Feng Wu. "You … you're making progress so fast that I'm scared to death!"
After a long while, Emperor Wu's racing heart calmed down and he stared at Feng Wu. "Even Junjun didn't make progress as fast as you did, did he?"
Feng Wu was vexed. "So what if I'm making progress faster? I'm not at the peak of the Spiritual Saint stage yet. "
If she were at the peak of the Spiritual Saint stage, she wouldn't need to say anything. She could just find that Miss Barefoot Bell and kill her. She didn't need to say anything.
Emperor Wu looked at Feng Wu in resignation, then touched her forehead.
Feng Wu said grumpily, "What?"
Emperor Wu said, "You don't have a fever. What are you talking about?"
Feng Wu didn't know what to say.
Seeing that Feng Wu was upset, Emperor Wu tried to comfort her. "It's not impossible. After all, they came all the way here and didn't bring many powerful cultivators with them. When Junjun gets here … Wait, where's Jun Linyuan?"
Feng Wu wouldn't tell anyone else, but Emperor Wu had no reason to keep it a secret. So, she told him that Jun Linyuan had gone into seclusion to recover from his injuries.
"Seclusion? He's recovered? "Emperor Wu's eyes widened and he couldn't believe what he was hearing.
Feng Wu nodded solemnly. "Nothing can disturb him this time. Otherwise, his body won't be able to take it."
Emperor Wu asked, "What will happen?"
Feng Wu glanced at Emperor Wu. "What do you think will happen if his body is broken?"
Emperor Wu frowned.
Feng Wu was confused. "Is there anything that he can't do?"
Emperor Wu looked reluctant, but he didn't tell Feng Wu what was going on. He only waved at her and said, "It's fine. I'll take care of it myself. Kiddo, hurry up and recover. When you reach the peak of the Martial Saint stage, the Junwu Empire will be counting on you."
Feng Wu could hear the exhaustion in Emperor Wu's voice, as if … something had happened that she didn't know about.
Feng Wu suddenly recalled what Emperor Wu had said before. That Miss Barefoot Bell didn't have many powerful cultivators with her … Two peak-level Spiritual Saints?
"What does she want?" Feng Wu kept her eyes on Emperor Wu. "Where did that Miss Barefoot Bell come from? What does she want? Where is she now? "
