Chapter 929
A look of pleasant surprise flickered in Empress Dugu’s eyes, but she looked down before anyone else noticed.
Was Jun Linyuan… really going to die? If he did die, the crown would belong to the empire’s second son, aka her son.
The empress dowager woke up while Empress Dugu was allowing her imagination to run wild.
“My Baby Jun…” The empress dowager burst into tears and wouldn’t let go of Emperor Wu’s hand. “What happened to Baby Jun? How is he now?”
Emperor Wu didn’t know any better and was equally flustered!
“Why isn’t Grand Secretary Fang showing us anything?! I need to see Jun Linyuan now!” Emperor Wu summoned a servant. “Go tell Grand Secretary Fang to show us what we want to see!”
As a matter of fact, Grand Secretary Fang had changed the image on the screen already.
Luckily, Feng Wu was there, or they wouldn’t have been able to see the crown prince.
Whoosh —
The wind was howling.
Snatched by the beast, Feng Wu was stuck tightly to its belly!
Looking down, Feng Wu saw a bottomless pit beneath them. Jun Linyuan, the beast, and herself were falling at a tremendous speed.
Shit!
Jun Linyuan had fallen first, followed by the beast with Feng Wu stuck to its belly. If they hit the ground now, Jun Linyuan would be on the bottom.
When that happened, even someone like Jun Linyuan would be crushed to a pulp!
They weren’t that far from the bottom, so Feng Wu reached out to grab Jun Linyuan!
Everyone saw it on the screen.
The empress dowager was the most nervous one. She pressed her hands to her chest and prayed for Jun Linyuan.
However, Feng Wu missed.
She nearly fell off the beast’s belly herself.
Feng Wu grabbed the beast’s fur to steady herself.
This wouldn’t do. She needed a strategy.
And she needed it now!
Otherwise, Jun Linyuan would die!
She wasn’t the only one who was concerned; so was everyone who was in front of the screen.
Especially the empress dowager.
Clenching her fists, the old lady murmured, “Little Feng Wu, I’ll treat you nicely from now on if you can save my Baby Jun. You have to save him!”
However, next to her, Empress Dugu smirked.
Feng Wu was a good-for-nothing. How would she be able to save Jun Linyuan? What a joke.
“But Feng Wu… She’s a cripple with no spiritual essence…” Empress Dugu sighed and feigned a worried look.
Instantly —
Cining Palace fell into a despairing silence.
That was right… Feng Wu had no cultivation ability. There was no way she could stop an unconscious Jun Linyuan from falling, let alone drag him up and prepare for the impact.
The empress dowager couldn’t see any hope.
“Feng Wu, I’ll have your entire family killed and the rest of your clan banished if you can’t save the crown prince!” the empress dowager bellowed.
The empress dowager knew that Feng Wu wasn’t to be blamed for losing her ability, but she was still furious.
Everyone in the room felt sorry for Feng Wu.
Grand Secretary Fang and the others had also hurried over to the imperial palace, so that the empress dowager could question them.
The faces of Emperor Wu and his mother were livid.
The entire Cining Palace seemed to be covered in a dark cloud.
