Feng Yexuan’s face turned completely pale with agitation.
The Empress Dowager was heartbroken. "Xuan'er, Chu Qianli is not Long Qianyue's daughter. We were all deceived by her!"
"What... did you say?" Feng Yexuan was truly impolite today.
He had never treated the Empress Dowager this way.
It was only because he hadn't seen Chu Qianli upon waking, but instead saw people who shouldn't have been there.
Subconsciously, he knew something had happened to that woman!
The Empress Dowager had no time to blame him for his coldness. He was injured, and there was nothing to fuss about.
The Empress Dowager said softly, "She is not Long Qianyue's daughter. Xuan'er, I will explain this to you later. For now, you must recover your health."
"Let her come see me!" Feng Yexuan stared at Feng Jinrui. "Immediately!"
"Imperial Brother..." Feng Jinrui didn't want to say it, but his Imperial Brother was so insistent, he couldn't not.
He also didn't want to deceive his Imperial Brother.
"Imperial Brother, Chu Qianli is not at the Prince's manor. She..."
"She doesn't want you anymore!" Concubine Jin could no longer stand it.
Why was her son still so fixated on that woman, unwilling to forget her?
Concubine Jin said resentfully, "She wrote a divorce letter, abandoned you when you were gravely injured, and returned to the Duke's manor! Xuan'er, wake up. That woman doesn't want you anymore!"
"No... impossible." Feng Yexuan gritted his teeth, his face turning from pale to ashen.
He didn't believe it.
He didn't believe a single word.
"Jin Rui..."
"Imperial Brother, it's true." Feng Jinrui actually didn't know what had happened, but it was true that Chu Qianli had left his elder brother and returned to the Duke's manor.
"Chu Qianli really wrote you a divorce letter, and she... she did leave. For the past few days, it has been Miss Yu taking care of you."
Yu Linglong looked at Feng Yexuan, a hint of grievance in her eyes. "Yexuan, I know... Yexuan, what are you doing?"
Feng Yexuan actually threw off the covers and tried to get out of bed.
He was severely injured, his wound only a hair's breadth from his heart. He had almost died!
Having survived a great calamity, why did he want to do anything other than lie down and rest?
"Xuan'er, you've truly gone mad for that woman!"
The Empress Dowager was both angry and anxious, and helpless. "She even threw a divorce letter at you. What more do you want? Do you still want a woman who is heartless and unrighteous towards you?"
"You," the Empress Dowager pointed at Concubine Jin, her fingers trembling with anger. "Fetch the divorce letter, quickly!"
Concubine Jin knew where the divorce letter was and immediately retrieved it, handing it to Feng Yexuan.
"Xuan'er, she truly doesn't want you anymore. It's her handwriting. You recognize it, don't you?"
"This divorce letter was written by her personally. None of us forced her! Xuan'er, be good and lie down to rest! Stop tormenting yourself!"
"Yes, Xuan'er, we really didn't force her. She didn't want you herself. Xuan'er... Xuan'er, what's wrong with you..."
Amidst the calls from everyone in the room, Feng Yexuan heard nothing.
In his eyes, there were only those three words: Chu Qianli.
It was her handwriting!
He saw it clearly!
This was the second divorce letter she had given him.
For the second time, she had left behind a divorce letter and departed.
This damned woman, how dare she!
She actually dared!
"Xuan'er, Xuan'er, don't scare me, Xuan'er..."
The Empress Dowager was truly frightened because she watched her precious grandson spit out a mouthful of black blood!
He was bleeding!
The blood was black!
He kept staring at the divorce letter in his hand, his eyes dull and lifeless.
Although he appeared to be in a semi-conscious state, he still held onto the divorce letter.
He wouldn't let go even if he died!
"Linglong, Linglong, quickly check him, hurry! Xuan'er, Xuan'er, don't scare me, Xuan'er..."
"Miss Yu, quickly! Quickly, Imperial Brother!"
"Quick!"
Everyone in the room was in complete disarray.
Hadn't the poison been cleared? Why was the blood still black?
Why had his entire face turned a dark, blackish hue?
What was going on?
Yu Linglong immediately took Feng Yexuan's pulse, but his pulse was so erratic that even she couldn't decipher it.
How could this be? He was almost recovered before!
"Imperial Brother, Imperial Brother, don't get agitated. I... I'll go bring Chu Qianli back!"
After Feng Jinrui helped Feng Yexuan lie down, he turned to leave.
Yu Linglong said urgently, "I'm here. I can save him. Why are you looking for that woman?"
"Exactly, Jin Rui, don't act rashly! Your Imperial Brother was angered by Chu Qianli to this state. If you bring Chu Qianli back, your Imperial Brother will only get more angry!"
"Linglong, hurry and treat Xuan'er!"
"I... I know."
Yu Linglong immediately took out her silver needles and began to treat Feng Yexuan.
But no matter what method she used, she couldn't stop the bloodstains from trickling down the corner of Feng Yexuan's lips.
He clearly had no poison in his body, so why was the blood he spat out still blackish-purple?
In her years of practicing medicine, Yu Linglong had never seen such symptoms.
"Miss Yu, Miss Yu, what is happening to my Xuan'er? Quickly think of a solution!"
"Linglong, quickly save Xuan'er."
"Miss Yu..."
Everyone in the room was relying on Yu Linglong.
But after toiling for so long, Yu Linglong was still helpless.
Feng Jinrui was going mad. "No, I must find the demoness. She's resourceful, she can definitely save my elder brother!"
"Jin Rui! You are not allowed to go!"
"Rui'er..."
However, amidst the commotion, Feng Yexuan sat up again.
"Dead woman..."
At this moment, he was aware of nothing else.
He only knew that his dead woman had once again abandoned him and left.
But he had said that if she wanted to leave, she would have to step over his corpse!
Letting her go was equivalent to him dying!
Unless he died!
Unless he died!
...
Chu Qianli jolted awake, sitting up abruptly.
She had had a nightmare!
Upon returning to the Duke's manor, before her grandfather woke up, she had collapsed and slept for a while.
She hadn't expected a nightmare to jolt her awake.
Her heart ached faintly.
Her forehead was covered in cold sweat.
She had dreamt of Feng Yexuan spitting blood and falling before her eyes.
But, it was impossible. She had examined him before being taken to the palace last night, and the toxins in his body had been largely cleared.
Given Yu Linglong's personality, knowing that she and Feng Yexuan had divorced, she would undoubtedly rush to take care of him.
Although she had always disdained Yu Linglong's character, Yu Linglong's medical skills were indeed not bad for this era.
In Feng Yexuan's current condition, with Yu Linglong, there should be no accidents.
Chu Qianli sighed and wiped her forehead with the back of her hand.
Her hand was covered in cold sweat.
Nothing could have happened. She must be overthinking.
Looking at the sweat beads on her hand, she gave a self-deprecating smile.
They were divorced now, with no further connection. What was she still thinking about?
What was so good about men? Wasn't focusing on her career more fulfilling?
From now on, she wouldn't think about it.
Unable to sleep, Chu Qianli got out of bed, changed her clothes, and went out.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she opened the door, a figure slammed into her!
Her neck tightened as the person approached.
Her throat was completely seized by him!
