Godly Empress Doctor

Chapter 2502 Zuo Qingluan’s Failure (1)

Master Chu insisted, “Disinfect the blade first!”

Zuo Qingluan wanted to kill the stubborn old man.

This was the first time she was showing off her skills in front of the empress dowager. She didn’t care about Concubine Oriole, but she would be so humiliated if she couldn’t save the baby.

Left with no other choice, Zuo Qingluan had to heat the blade first before she cut open Concubine Oriole’s belly.

The baby was indeed a boy.

But his skin was a light purple, and he wasn’t making a sound.

Master Chu was busy treating Concubine Oriole, when Zuo Qingluan said coldly, “Don’t bother. The little prince is our priority.

Concubine Oriole wasn’t completely unconscious. She heard what Zuo Qingluan said.

She looked up at Zuo Qingluan and couldn’t believe how coldblooded she was.

But she couldn’t even lift a finger.

Zuo Qingluan was treating the baby.

Her face had darkened a little.

The baby had absorbed some of the blood of the undead insect.

And he was poisoned.

The undead insect was from Firmament Palace and could be traced back to her.

Zuo Qingluan studied the baby.

She wondered if she should save him.

If he was alive, he would become evidence of her crime.

But if she didn’t save him, the others would think that she wasn’t good enough. Would the empress dowager ever trust her again?

She decided to keep him alive and neutralize the poison later.

The midwife was so nervous that she almost burst into tears.

The baby was silent. She was worried that if the baby died, she would be punished as well.

Zuo Qingluan smacked the baby on his butt.

The baby cried.

The midwife let out a breath of relief.

Zuo Qingluan then headed out.

Master Chu said, “What about Concubine Oriole? Aren’t you going to do something?”

Zuo Qingluan didn’t even look back. “She’s bound to die. There’s no need to do anything.” Master Chu couldn’t believe his ears.

Concubine Oriole didn’t want to die.

She finally had a son, and her new life had just begun.

“I don’t want to die…”

Zuo Qingluan left the room with the baby.

The empress dowager was pleased to see that it was a boy.

But that didn’t mean that she was fond of the baby.

Jun Linyuan was the only grandson she loved. As for the other princes and princesses, they were as good as strangers to her.

“How about Concubine Oriole?” Emperor Wu asked.

Zuo Qingluan shook her head. “Concubine Oriole volunteered to have her belly cut open to save the baby. Your Majesty, if you go inside now, you can still say goodbye to her.”

How coldblooded! Emperor Wu glared at Zuo Qingluan.

How could she say such a thing in such a calm voice?

The empress dowager frowned. “You mean you can’t save Concubine Oriole.”

Zuo Qingluan said, “I’m sorry, Your Majesties.”

Concubine Oriole had an influential family as well.

Her brother worked in Northern Feng General’s army.

Since Concubine Oriole was on Empress Dugu’s side, so was her brother.
