Chu Qianli had suffered very serious internal injuries.
As soon as she left the Cold Palace, she was in Feng Yexuan's arms and completely fainted.
Feng Wuya felt a wave of dizziness. If his internal energy were not profound enough, even he might not have been able to withstand it.
Upon returning to the Xuan Prince's mansion, Leng Ji immediately went to inform Liu Jin.
However, Long Ziyue was still not out of danger, and Liu Jin was still unable to stabilize her pulse.
Dan Qing stood guard outside, and Fu Long was also outside, both extremely anxious.
If Fu Long hadn't stopped Dan Qing from time to time, Dan Qing would have rushed in.
Liu Jin was stretched thin. Feng Yexuan had no choice but to support Chu Qianli himself. All night long, he continuously channeled his energy to heal her.
By the next morning, Chu Qianli's complexion had finally improved somewhat.
Leng Ji had invited other physicians to examine her pulse, which was much calmer than the previous night.
However, she still had not woken up.
"Fourth Imperial Brother, your internal injuries have not healed. You were already severely weakened before. Continuing to channel your energy to heal A'li will greatly harm you."
Feng Wuya could only blame his own intermittent heart palpitations, which left him without the ability to channel energy to A'li.
He could only stay by their bedside.
Feng Yexuan gently placed Chu Qianli down, covered her with a blanket, then coughed lightly and walked out of the room.
"Fourth Imperial Brother..."
"Guard her." He did not allow Feng Wuya to follow.
After walking out the door and turning a corner in the corridor, he could no longer suppress it and leaned against a stone pillar, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
He had held back this blood for a long time, only suppressing it in front of Feng Wuya.
"Your Highness!" Leng Ji had followed him from the moment he left. He had sensed that His Highness's complexion was not right, but he hadn't expected him to be so injured.
"Your Highness, your previous injuries have not healed, and now..."
Feng Yexuan shot him a cold glance, stopping his incessant chatter.
Although Leng Ji was panicked, he couldn't help but say, "Your Highness, you have angered the Emperor this time. I fear the Emperor will not let this matter rest easily."
"The Emperor currently has Prince Yu and Prince He by his side. I don't know what these two princes will do next."
"Your Highness, you should first take care of your health. Otherwise, this subordinate fears you will not be able to cope."
Prince He alone was already difficult to deal with.
Now, Prince Yu and the Emperor were added to the mix!
Your Highness had offended all the major powers within the imperial family at once this time.
All for Miss Chu...
Leng Ji couldn't help but look back at the bedroom in the distance and sighed silently.
His Highness was truly contradictory. He was clearly furious with Miss Chu for publicly breaking off the engagement, to the point of being extremely angry.
Yet now, for her sake, he was putting himself in danger, making enemies everywhere, and even injuring Prince Yu!
If His Highness and Miss Chu continue to be at odds like this, wouldn't His Highness be adding injury to injury?
When would the two of them finally put aside their differences and open their hearts to each other?
Miss Chu had no idea that His Highness was already facing immense difficulties and obstacles in the imperial court.
"How is Princess Pingyue now?" After recovering his breath, Feng Yexuan asked expressionlessly.
"Liu Jin is still trying to save her, but..."
Leng Ji did not want to add to His Highness's worries at this moment.
But some things had to be said.
"Liu Jin said the chances are slim, unless..."
"Your Highness, you are not skilled in medicine. Your Highness, perhaps you should return to your room to channel your energy and recuperate."
Feng Yexuan, however, turned a deaf ear to his words.
He turned and walked towards the room where Long Ziyue was located.
Princess Pingyue must be saved. Otherwise, Li'er would have to face not only the Emperor's difficulties.
She would have to face the entire Longteng Kingdom.
The assassins of the Longteng Kingdom would pursue her relentlessly, never resting until she was dead!
This matter could only be resolved if Princess Pingyue woke up.
"Your Highness, going to see the Princess now will not help. You don't understand medicine."
His face was very pale, and Leng Ji was very worried, quickly following him.
"Your Highness, you... you're not going back to channel your energy. What if Miss Chu's condition worsens and she needs your true qi for healing?"
Feng Yexuan paused in his steps.
After a moment of hesitation, he immediately headed towards the study.
Leng Ji watched him enter the room, knowing he was inside channeling energy to heal himself, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
As expected, only matters concerning Miss Chu could make His Highness change his mind.
He clearly cared deeply, yet when the person was fine, he insisted on putting on a cold face and making things difficult for her...
Leng Ji couldn't help but sigh again.
He wondered when the two of them would be able to let go of their past grievances and open their hearts to each other.
...
Liu Jin was truly out of options.
Long Ziyue was too severely injured. He could only keep Long Ziyue's breath hanging by a thread.
But to save her, he admitted he truly lacked the ability.
How could someone with a heart injury be saved?
Being able to keep her breath going was already quite good.
But this breath was constantly dissipating...
Hearing that Chu Qianli had been rescued by Prince Xuan, Liu Jin didn't even think twice before going to find her.
This matter could only be resolved by Chu Qianli.
But Liu Jin never expected that Chu Qianli was in such a precarious situation herself at this moment!
"How could she be so injured?"
There was nothing outwardly wrong with her, but inwardly, were there any intact places left?
Her blood vessels were severely damaged. For any other young woman, the pain would have been unbearable.
"Fourth Imperial Brother was channeling his energy for her all night. How is A'li now? When will she wake up?"
Feng Wuya had been guarding Chu Qianli's side.
After Liu Jin examined her pulse, Feng Wuya asked urgently.
Liu Jin's gaze finally fell seriously on Feng Wuya's face for the first time.
After just one glance, he was instantly stunned.
"Your Highness, your complexion... why is it so terrible!"
It was ashen! There was no sign of life at all!
Liu Jin immediately grabbed his hand, wanting to check his pulse.
Feng Wuya pushed him away and said calmly, "It's nothing. It's just occasional heart palpitations and some disordered breathing. I've already taken medicine, so there won't be any major issues."
The most important thing right now was to save A'li and Princess Pingyue.
Feng Wuya looked at Chu Qianli, "A'li she..."
"Your Highness, your complexion is by no means just a symptom of heart palpitations."
Liu Jin still grasped Feng Wuya's wrist.
Feng Wuya wanted to refuse, but at this moment, he was completely weak.
In the end, he could only let him calmly take his pulse.
"Your pulse..."
"Don't tell Fourth Imperial Brother." This was Feng Wuya's only request. "I... I was poisoned with ač, along with A'li..."
He took a deep breath before saying, "The Mandarin Duck Gu."
Liu Jin's heart suddenly trembled.
The Mandarin Duck Gu!
No wonder Prince Xiaoyao's complexion was so ashen.
He already had a heart condition. The onset of his heart condition, combined with the severe internal injuries he sustained because of Chu Qianli, had even damaged his own heart meridians.
With injury upon injury, it was only through sheer willpower that he could remain conscious until now.
"Your Highness..."
"What is the situation with Princess Pingyue?" Feng Wuya was also very worried.
If Princess Pingyue couldn't wake up, A'li... would be completely plunged into dire straits!
