As dawn broke, Chu Wang spat out two large mouthfuls of black blood.
After that, his complexion, visibly, gradually regained a trace of color.
By the time morning arrived, his pulse, so weak it was almost imperceptible, finally became clear.
Liu Jin was both excited and extremely nervous.
As Chu Qianli withdrew her needles, he suddenly knelt beside her with a thud.
"Miss Chu, this subordinate kneels before you. I beg you to be merciful..."
"Ridiculous. You are nothing in my eyes. If you kneel, must I show you respect?"
Chu Qianli seemed to have anticipated his actions, her lips curved in a smile full of sarcasm.
"If you want to persuade me, you'd be better off persuading your Prince to be a man of his word. Perhaps that would be easier."
Liu Jin sighed helplessly.
It wasn't easy, not easy at all.
Their Prince was a man of his word. If he promised to kneel, he would certainly kneel.
He was just heartbroken...
Chu Qianli ignored him, administered an IV drip to Chu Wang, and taught Liu Jin how to remove it once it was finished. Then, she packed her things and left.
In the courtyard, a large group of people stood in the darkness.
Because she wanted Feng Yexuan to kneel in front of everyone, Feng Yexuan had ordered Cang Yu to summon all idle guards in the courtyard.
The sheer number of people was somewhat beyond Chu Qianli's expectation.
However, she was incapable of softening her heart.
Her heart had turned to stone, cold and hard, the day Feng Yexuan had humiliated her.
Liu Jin walked behind Chu Qianli.
Seeing him, Cang Yu asked urgently, "Sir, our Prince..."
Liu Jin nodded.
Cang Yu was overjoyed. With a thud, he knelt before Chu Qianli, kowtowing three times.
The guards in the courtyard also quickly knelt, saying in unison, "Thank you, Miss!"
As for the rest, they were all guards brought by Feng Yexuan.
Leng Ji immediately knelt.
Behind him, more than a dozen guards also knelt in unison.
Leng Ji said in a deep voice, "Miss Chu, please..."
"And you?" Chu Qianli's gaze was fixed on Feng Yexuan. "If you want to break your promise, a single word is enough. Why make your men kneel like this?"
Leng Ji said anxiously, "Miss, His Highness has not..."
"Silence!" Chu Qianli shot him a glance.
Leng Ji sighed helplessly and could only lower his head, kneeling on the ground without a sound.
Chu Qianli's gaze fell upon Feng Yexuan.
Although everyone was kneeling on the ground, heads bowed, not daring to breathe too loudly, their attention was indeed focused on Prince Xuan.
They wondered if Prince Xuan would become enraged and kill the young lady before them.
But he... he had promised himself!
Even though this young lady's request was indeed somewhat unreasonable...
Amidst everyone's speculation, Feng Yexuan's expression was as calm as water. Suddenly, without a sound, he knelt on one knee, saying, "I am sorry!"
No one dared to speak.
Liu Jin was so frightened that he hastily knelt down.
The immense pressure made it difficult for everyone to breathe.
Chu Qianli looked at Feng Yexuan kneeling on the ground.
His dull eyes held no trace of light.
"Why aren't you looking at Prince Xuan kneeling? Don't you know this might be the only chance in your lives to see him kneel?"
These words made everyone around them feel heavy-hearted.
The Prince had already knelt, why did this young lady still humiliate him like this!
Feng Yexuan's own men felt an unparalleled heartache, yet they dared not resent Chu Qianli.
As for the guards from Prince Jing's mansion, they were all filled with gratitude towards Feng Yexuan.
This humiliation was all for their Prince.
Prince Xuan had suffered!
But just as everyone thought Chu Qianli would finally be satisfied, this young girl, no more than ten years old, uttered another audacious remark, causing everyone's vision to darken, almost making them faint.
