Ye Qingying was still in a coma.
Feng Yexuan's palm strike last night had been quite heavy.
However, when a master strikes, no matter how heavy the blow, they can distinguish between harming someone and taking their life.
Feng Yexuan had no intention of taking Ye Qingying's life.
A heavy palm could instantly render someone unconscious and unable to fight.
But, the damage to his meridians was relatively minor.
"Miss, you are a physician yourself. You should be able to see clearly what the Prince did to Ye Qingying."
Liu Jin covered Ye Qingying with a blanket and looked at Chu Qianli, who was sitting by the bed. He had many things he wanted to say.
But in the end, he only uttered a few simple sentences.
Some things didn't need him to say; in fact, she understood them in her heart, didn't she?
Feng Jinrui stood to the side, looking at Chu Qianli's slender back: "Witch, my fourth imperial brother he..."
"I know." Chu Qianli placed Ye Qingying's wrist back and covered him with the blanket.
She knew. She knew everything now.
But many words were meaningless. What should and shouldn't have been said had already been said last night.
Thinking of Feng Yexuan's lonely figure, her heart also ached.
However, wallowing in sorrow was not Chu Qianli's style.
Some things had to be dealt with first.
"Mr. Liu Jin, do you have any research on Gu techniques?" she asked, turning to Liu Jin.
Liu Jin nodded, then shook his head: "Before, Miss was afflicted with the Mandarin Duck Gu, and I also studied Gu techniques. But without guidance from a master, I could only grasp the superficial knowledge."
"Since Yu Linglong is a disciple of Wuchenzi, what she learned is certainly beyond what an outsider like me can comprehend."
"Yu Linglong is truly Wuchenzi's disciple?" Chu Qianli increasingly doubted this.
"It is heard that Wuchenzi is an extraordinary master, both in character and conduct. Even if he didn't aspire to be a chivalrous hero, he would at least be upright and honorable."
So, how could such a noble figure have such an evil and deeply scheming person as a disciple?
Did Wuchenzi misjudge her?
Could such a master also misjudge someone?
Feng Jinrui moved his lips, but in the end, he said nothing.
Although he knew Wuchenzi was the Ninth Imperial Uncle, he was still a child when his Ninth Imperial Uncle left the court, knowing nothing.
He was not clear about the Ninth Imperial Uncle's affairs.
"If this Gu poison cannot be resolved, then..." Feng Jinrui looked at the two of them, then at Ye Qingying: "What will happen to him?"
This was the most pressing matter that needed to be resolved.
"The one who tied the bell must untie it," Liu Jin said helplessly. "Unless Mr. Wuchenzi himself comes, this Gu must be resolved by Yu Linglong herself."
"How could Yu Linglong possibly resolve the Gu for him?" Feng Jinrui immediately denied it without thinking.
Who was Yu Linglong? She had done all sorts of evil, even daring to impersonate the witch.
She had placed the Gu on Ye Qingying to make him devotedly work for her.
Such a useful killing tool would absolutely not be abandoned by Yu Linglong.
Therefore, it was impossible for her to resolve the Gu for Ye Qingying.
Chu Qianli remained silent.
After a while, she stood up and looked at Liu Jin and Yu Xing beside him: "Please take good care of him during this time."
Her gaze lingered slightly on Yu Xing.
Yu Xing immediately lowered his head, not daring to say anything, his eyes flickering.
Chu Qianli smiled calmly: "I said I wouldn't meddle."
She walked away.
Feng Jinrui followed behind her.
Yu Xing finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Liu Jin, however, looked bewildered: "What riddle are you two playing?"
"No, I'm just lamenting that the Princess Consort is much calmer and more composed than we imagined."
"She used to be even more composed, sometimes even too cold."
The Princess Consort, who was now full of flesh and blood, seemed easier to approach.
Yu Xing said nothing.
Feng Jinrui caught up to her outside the door, but Chu Qianli suddenly stopped and looked back at him: "Where is your fourth imperial brother?"
