No one knew why Chu Qianli offered this "thank you."
Even Chu Wang did not understand.
After Chu Qianli finished speaking, she immediately began to treat him earnestly, not saying another word during the process.
Chu Wang glanced at Feng Yexuan, who looked expressionless, clearly also unaware of why this girl was thanking Ding Chen.
Was it because Ding Chen and the Four Killers had saved Chu Wang's life?
But Chu Wang was not… particularly important to Chu Qianli, was he?
The injuries on Chu Wang were incredibly numerous.
However, the most critical issue was the poison he had ingested.
"I have neutralized most of the poison, so your life is temporarily out of danger. However, you have too many ailments. You absolutely cannot circulate true qi for the next few days."
After ushering everyone else out, Chu Qianli helped Chu Wang onto the bed, allowing him to lie down.
The bedsheets were already stained red with blood, and some wounds had yet to be treated.
Chu Wang turned his head to look at her, wanting to speak but hesitating.
"I know, the collapse of the city moat caused countless casualties, and the royal family must have someone to appease the common people, right?"
"You went to Prince Ling's mansion tonight specifically to persuade Prince Ling?"
But there was a Princess Consort Ling in Prince Ling's mansion. Although she appeared gentle, Chu Qianli could tell that when she was stubborn, her temperament was even more unyielding than Prince Ling's.
Conversely, Prince Ling was easier to talk to.
"Princess Consort Ling did not wish to be involved in your royal family's struggles and always advised Prince Ling to stay out of it. As a woman, I can understand her choice."
However, would staying out of it truly allow one to escape this vortex?
Chu Qianli did not believe that Princess Consort Ling was unaware of this fact.
When the Emperor and Prince Yu's struggle intensified, Prince Ling would inevitably have to declare his stance.
He could hide for a while, but not forever.
"If she did not allow Prince Ling to agree to your request tonight, it is likely she already favors Prince Yu in her heart. More importantly, not only is the Emperor gravely ill, but he also has no heirs."
Chu Qianli's words made Chu Wang's heart stir.
"In that case, I have completely lost all hope of winning over my second imperial brother?"
"Not necessarily."
"Little girl, hurry up and explain! I… I…"
As Chu Wang grew anxious, he began to cough violently again.
In truth, every cough caused him excruciating pain, his entire body was wounded, even his bones were injured.
Coughing agitated his whole body, naturally causing him agonizing pain.
"If you continue to get so agitated, I won't be able to discuss this with you." Chu Qianli pressed down on his chest, rubbing his chest's vital point with her fingertips.
The urge to cough was immediately soothed.
A divine physician was truly miraculous!
"You said you wanted to discuss something with me?"
Chu Wang was still fixated on the matter, almost becoming agitated again.
He grabbed Chu Qianli's hand, "Little girl, do you have a way to make my second imperial brother stand on our side?"
They desperately needed Prince Ling's support at this moment.
If Prince Ling sided with Prince Yu, it would be a great disadvantage to the Emperor!
"Little girl, what method do you have, tell me!"
"I told you to calm down. If you continue to be so agitated, how can I speak?"
Chu Qianli looked down at the large hand gripping her wrist, a trace of pity flickering in her heart.
He was a dignified prince, of noble status, yet now he was covered in blood.
His fingers were still stained with blood!
Chu Wang, however, thought she was disgusted by him and quickly withdrew his blood-stained hand.
"I apologize, I was just… still a bit too agitated. Little Li'er, our Nanming is in grave danger. If you have a good method, please do not hesitate to impart it!"
