Godly Empress Doctor

Chapter 1540: Center of Attention (3)

With Emperor Wu remaining silent and the empress dowager absent, no one else dared to speak.

Hence, an awkward silence filled the air.

Looking around, Feng Wu saw the malicious look in Master Dugu’s eyes, and her stomach lurched.

She couldn’t let Master Dugu drive a wedge between the father and son again!

Emperor Wu was all about saving face, and Jun Linyuan was dauntless. Being alienated from his father wouldn’t do Jun Linyuan any good.

Taking Jun Linyuan’s hand, Feng Wu said tentatively, “Didn’t you say that we could eat after you and His Majesty compare notes? Now that it’s done, can we go now?”

Compare notes?

Everyone stared at Emperor Wu and Jun Linyuan in amazement.

So, what happened between them was only a friendly exchange of blows, and not a life-and-death duel?

Even Emperor Wu was surprised.

He was amazed by Feng Wu, because she had resolved the conflict as effortlessly as that, and had even offered him the perfect excuse.

Master Dugu stared at Feng Wu with piercing eyes.

That damn girl!

He should never have given her the chance to speak!

By defining the fight as a friendly competition, she had easily resolved the situation. Since it wasn’t a confrontation between the father and son, an attempt to usurp the throne was no longer a possibility.

But what Master Dugu didn’t know was that Feng Wu was only getting started.

Holding Jun Linyuan’s hand, Feng Wu said gingerly, “You’re still so young and have only cultivated for a few years, so it’s only natural that you lose to His Majesty. You can always work harder in the future.”

Master Dugu was already staring at Feng Wu. When he heard those words, he opened his eyes so wide that his eyeballs almost fell out.

Not only did she resolve the situation, she managed to offer Emperor Wu such a great excuse.

Moreover, she laid a foundation for a potential exchange between the father and son in the future.

Feng Wu was amazing!

Just when everyone else thought that she was going to say something even more unexpected —

Feng Wu looked up at Jun Linyuan with her clear doe eyes.

She then moved closer and whispered in his ear, “Jun Linyuan, I’m hungry...”

She put his hand on her flat stomach.

Gurgle —

Her stomach growled right at that moment.

In the distance, no one could tell what Feng Wu said to Jun Linyuan. All they saw was her putting his hand on her belly.

Everyone’s faces darkened!

It was especially the case with those who despised Feng Wu, and their eyes glinted coldly.

They couldn’t believe it! How could Feng Wu still try to seduce the crown prince in a moment like this?

The crown prince and his father were still at loggerheads, so of course he wouldn’t listen to her!

But to their surprise —

Jun Linyuan only glanced at Feng Wu, before he took her hand and calmly walked away. All the others saw was his straight back.

“Well...”

“Well...”

“That was...”

The rest of the crowd felt like fainting.

They couldn’t believe their eyes!

“Feng Wu just walked away with His Royal Highness like that?”

“No, that’s not possible! I don’t buy it! Feng Wu can’t have such influence!”

The confrontation had been between the emperor and the crown prince, the two most influential figures in the empire. How could a girl like Feng Wu change anything?
