Chu Qianli said the surgery would take at least a day and a night.
So, for that day and night, Feng Yexuan and Chu Wang stayed outside Chu Jiangnan's chambers.
They were almost inseparable unless absolutely necessary.
From that night until the second night, everyone began to feel a growing anxiety.
Every time the door opened, it was Liu Jin who emerged.
Chu Qianli had not shown her face.
By midnight of the second day, Liu Jin led out another man who was "blood type compatible."
This time, Chu Wang couldn't hold back and grabbed him.
Liu Jin said urgently, "Your Highness, let go quickly, your hands are dirty!"
Chu Wang was somewhat exasperated, "Where are my hands dirty?"
"The princess said that the clothes I'm wearing must be sterilized every time I go in and out, and I cannot touch anything, otherwise it will affect the treatment's effectiveness."
Upon hearing that it would affect the treatment's effectiveness, Chu Wang dared not touch him and quickly let go.
Liu Jin looked at his sleeve that had been grabbed, feeling helpless.
He would have to change clothes again.
Chu Wang was still anxious, "What's the situation now?"
Feng Yexuan also took two steps closer, but seeing Liu Jin's expression, he seemed to be afraid of their "dirty things" being transmitted to him. Therefore, as Feng Yexuan took the second step, he immediately retracted his foot.
"Right now, I don't know the situation either. I just heard the princess say there's a... rejection phenomenon, and it requires more time."
No one could understand.
Who was rejecting whom?
"I don't quite understand how to explain it, but in short..."
Liu Jin thought for a moment before saying, "In short, the situation is a bit complicated, and also... troublesome. It's not that optimistic, but it's not that bad either..."
"You two should wait for the princess. Please, do not let anyone disturb her."
After saying this, Liu Jin immediately turned and went back inside.
Afterward, through the door, the sound of something being sprayed, "chichichichi," could be heard.
It was said to be for sterilization?
Chu Wang began pacing in the courtyard.
It had been a day and two nights. Now, on the second night, midnight had passed, and he didn't know what the situation was.
He wished he could rush in to see, but he was afraid of truly hindering Xiao Li'er, and if anything unexpected happened, he would regret it for the rest of his life.
However, not seeing made his heart incredibly anxious.
Feng Yexuan stood in the shadows of the trees. Although his expression was calm, his anxiety was no less than Chu Wang's.
Outside the main gate of the distant palace chambers, a woman in white was speaking to a guard:
"I am someone from Prince Xuan's side. Please inform His Highness that... that someone is waiting for him."
The guard was somewhat reluctant, "No one is allowed to enter the chambers today. Please return, miss."
However, this young lady could move freely within the palace, which indeed indicated she was from Prince Xuan's side.
The Emperor and the Princess were very lenient towards Prince Xuan's people.
Anyone else would not have been allowed to come within half a step of the Emperor's chambers.
The woman continued to plead, "I won't go in. Aren't I asking you to help convey a message to His Highness? The matter is very urgent. If it's not conveyed in time and a major event is missed, it won't be easy for you to explain, will it?"
Prince Xuan's affairs were naturally major matters. He was currently a favored figure in the eyes of the Princess and the Emperor.
After hesitating for a while, he finally went to relay the message to Feng Yexuan.
Feng Yexuan looked up. He couldn't see the situation at the chambers' entrance, but he could guess who dared to come find him personally.
But he merely said indifferently, "I'm not seeing anyone," and paid no further attention.
Leaving Feng Ling alone, furious to the point of smoke billowing from her seven orifices.
Finally, she turned and went back to report.
