“What’s your conclusion?” Emperor Wu stared at Master Chu.
Master Chu said, “Her Majesty has a cerebroma which ruptured due to chronic nephritis and hypertension, and it was an acute attack. The common symptoms include nausea, vomiting, headache, convulsions… and it’s usually lethal within five minutes.
“From what I can detect, the aneurysm in Her Majesty’s brain should have put her in a critical condition, but Her Majesty was able to hold on for over twenty minutes. Moreover, she’s not vomiting or convulsing.”
Master Chu looked bemused. “I don’t understand. I’ve been doing this for so many years and something like this shouldn’t have happened. There must be another explanation!”
While Master Chu was still pondering the question, all the others had turned to look at Feng Wu.
Empress Dugu’s face was livid!
What Master Chu said indirectly proved what a wonderful doctor Feng Wu was.
Had it not been for Feng Wu’s treatment, the empress dowager would be dead by now.
She did it! She actually did it! Clenching her fists, Empress Dugu gritted her teeth. She was considering writing Zuo Qingluan a letter after returning to her bedroom.
Emperor Wu glanced at Feng Wu at that moment as well. He cleared his throat. “Someone treated Her Majesty before you arrived.”
“That explains everything!” Master Chu clapped his hands. “Yes! That explains why Her Majesty is still safe and sound after her aneurysm. That person is so amazing!”
“Are they?”
Master Chu looked excited. “Yes, of course! That person is a spectacular doctor! If I’ve guessed right, their skills are much more advanced than mine!”
Instantly…
A hush fell over the hall…
Everyone looked at Feng Wu in silence.
According to Master Chu, Feng Wu was a better doctor than he was? How was that even possible?
Master Chu turned to Emperor Wu. “Your Majesty, where’s that master? That person should be the one treating Her Majesty now.”
The others were dumbfounded. You’re Master Chu, the best imperial physician we’ve got. How are we supposed to go to someone else when you’re here?
Emperor Wu stared at Master Chu with a livid face. “…Are you telling me you can’t help Her Majesty?”
Medicine refiners were so prestigious that even Emperor Wu couldn’t lash out at them at will. He could only express his anger with a livid face.
Master Chu smiled bitterly. “Your Majesty, Her Majesty the empress dowager has an ailment in her brain, and we need to extract that clot as soon as possible without damaging the brainstem. None of my people can perform such a delicate operation. As for myself… Well, I could certainly try, but I only stand a fifty-fifty chance. However, Your Majesty might have heard, I’m working my way up to the Supreme Level, which has used up much of my spiritual essence. I’m afraid I only have a 20% chance of saving Her Majesty.”
20%? Master Chu would never dare try it on the empress dowager. Even if he did, Emperor Wu wouldn’t allow it.
Master Chu smiled in resignation. “Therefore, Your Majesty, we better leave the job to that master. They’ll do wonders.”
“Is that person that good?” Emperor Wu glanced at Feng Wu.
She was just a slim 13-year-old girl. Was she really that great a doctor? Even if she started from birth, she would only have had thirteen years of practice.
“Yes! That good!” Master Chu said in a serious tone. He then began to praise this master.
