Upon hearing this, Feng Yexuan's eyes darkened, his blood turning cold.
Chu Jiangnan was both his teacher and his father.
He had never been close to the Northern冥 Emperor since childhood. The so-called fatherly love was only given to him by Chu Jiangnan.
Although Chu Jiangnan was still a young man when he took him as a disciple, Chu Jiangnan had always been steady and more than capable of being his father.
Now, the only master who had given him fatherly love was facing this life-and-death predicament…
"How can it be treated?" Feng Yexuan's voice was low, with a hint of hoarseness.
They had been discussing in the room for so long, the treatment process must have been arduous and complex.
Liu Jin said hurriedly, "According to the princess's words, the Emperor needs a large-scale blood transfusion."
"Large-scale blood transfusion?" This concept had indeed been heard before.
But in reality, no one who could truly achieve it had ever been heard of.
"The toxins have been in Master's body for a long time. With blood transfusion, if not enough blood is exchanged, the toxins cannot be eradicated. If too much blood is exchanged, the human body will not be able to tolerate it."
Feng Yexuan's words made Liu Jin open his mouth slightly, with some surprise.
"Your Highness… also studies medicine?"
Feng Yexuan snorted expressionlessly, "When I was helping to treat patients with her in Xinhua Village, I learned some superficial knowledge from her."
The "her" the Prince referred to was, of course, the Princess.
Liu Jin nodded, "That's right, the princess did say that a large-scale blood transfusion is needed, otherwise, the toxins in the Emperor's body cannot be completely cleared."
"But with a large scale, there will definitely be bodily rejection and discomfort. She mentioned using something called... dialysis... an extracorporeal circulation device. I haven't heard of these."
"However, the lady said she has them, so she must have them. I believe her."
"What does she need you to do?" Feng Yexuan asked.
Liu Jin said hurriedly, "I need to find people with the same blood type as the Emperor for the lady. At that time, their blood will be needed."
Feng Yexuan nodded and finally waved his hand.
Liu Jin bowed, "Then I will go back to rest."
But after taking two steps, Liu Jin couldn't help but turn back and look at Feng Yexuan.
"Your Highness, the princess doesn't know when she will come out, and it's getting late. Why don't you go back to rest early?"
"I didn't say I was waiting for her." Although he said that, he showed no intention of leaving.
Liu Jin could only retreat helplessly.
As he walked to the archway, he looked back and could still see Feng Yexuan drinking alone under the pavilion, his back a picture of loneliness.
That figure looked unspeakably solitary.
The Prince had something on his mind, and his mood seemed even heavier than a few days ago.
Was Madam putting pressure on him again?
Why did Liu Jin always feel that after Madam returned, the Prince's mood, apart from the initial surprise and shock, had never been good?
…After Liu Jin left, Feng Yexuan continued to drink alone under the pavilion.
He didn't know how long had passed, from the bright moon and sparse stars, to the gradual dimming of the sky and earth, until even the stars and moon were almost invisible.
In the east, there was a faint hint of white.
It was less than an hour until dawn.
Finally, the sound of a door opening came from the Emperor's sleeping quarters.
Xiao Shunzi, whose eyes were red from staying up all night, respectfully saw Chu Qianli out.
"Father Emperor won't wake up so soon. You should go and rest. You're tired too."
Hearing Chu Qianli's caring words, Xiao Shunzi's eyes became even redder.
"Princess, you yourself have been busy all night. Princess, you should go back and rest early. I will take good care of the Emperor here. Please rest assured, Princess."
