Godly Empress Doctor

Granny Zhao smacked Qiuling on the head. “Stop it! How can you still laugh?!”

Qiuling chuckled. “Miss Wu didn’t kill anyone, so there’s no need to worry. You have no idea what we saw in the Gu manor today. It was such an eye-opener!”

Granny Zhao’s eyes lit up. “Tell me all about it.”

Qiuling said, “You’ll never guess who the culprit was.”

Granny Zhao asked, “Who?

Qiuling told her everything.

Both Qiuling and Chaoge were good storytellers. Granny Zhao and Uncle Qiu’s mouths dropped open as they listened.

In the end, Qiuling smacked the marriage agreement on the table. “The Gu manor will fall, and Lady Gu isn’t coming back! No one will dare pick on us again!”

…

Meanwhile, similar conversations were taking place in nearly all families in the imperial capital.

From the officials to the street vendors.

“What? Feng Wu didn’t attack Mrs. Gu?!

“Lord Gu was the culprit?

“And the Gu manor was hiding a spy?

“What?! There were three of them?!”

…

Only the night before, they had been discussing how Feng Wu had killed Mrs. Gu, but things had turned around completely.

Not only didn’t Miss Feng Wu kill Mrs. Gu, she also helped to catch the spies!

Everyone in the imperial capital was talking about it.

Somehow, no one mentioned the crown prince’s interactions with Feng Wu, probably because the people who had seen it chose to omit the fact. As a result, the common people still had no idea how the crown prince felt about Feng Wu.

But the topic soon changed because —

“Xiao Wu!”

Chaoge had been listening to other people complimenting Feng Wu in a teahouse, but she jumped to her feet when she heard the news.

“Look! There are so many magpies!”

“Are they here to congratulate Miss Feng Wu?”

“No! That’s not it! Look! That’s a phoenix carriage!”

…

“Magpies and a phoenix carriage… Gosh! It’s Miss Zuo Qingluan!”

“That’s right! It must be her! I heard that she was coming back!”

“She has the True Phoenix Blood and is the most talented girl in our empire!”

“Yes, it’s her!”

The crowd was so excited that they all rushed into the streets.

Zuo Qingluan?!

The smile froze on Chaoge’s face.

Of course she knew who that was. Back then, Feng Wu and Zuo Qingluan both had the True Phoenix Blood, and they were known as the ‘two genius girls of the imperial capital.’

People used to compare them all the time.

Chaoge jumped out the window on the second floor and ran back to Fallen Star Yard.

“Xiao Wu! I have bad news!” Chaoge ran into the courtyard.

Feng Wu had been cultivating under the grape trellis. Hearing that, she looked at Chaoge in bewilderment.

“What? Is the sky going to cave in?” she asked grumpily.

Chaoge said, “No, but you’re going to have trouble!”

Feng Wu stood up and straightened her skirt. “Why is that?”

Chaoge dragged her toward the front door. “Zuo Qingluan is back!”

Feng Wu paused.
