Feng Wu ignored Master Bai. She looked up, giving the others a full view of her stunning face. She then stared at Emperor Wu with her limpid doe eyes.
Feng Wu's mother was the most beautiful woman in the empire. The apple never fell too far from the tree.
She only needed to mimic part of her mother's expression, and Emperor Wu couldn't stay mad at the pitiful girl. He even wanted to reflect on himself, thinking that he might have been a little too mean.
"Your Majesty, I killed him because he was one of the people that was responsible for my losing my ability! I'll never let it drop! I will have my revenge!"
The first half of her speech was expressed with deep feeling and fervor, but the second half sounded rather willful.
Emperor Wu was surprised.
He asked, "Didn't you lose your ability because you got greedy and overstretched yourself?"
"No, I didn't!" Feng Wu defended herself. "The Zuo family did it to me! They're evil people!"
