“Little Li’er…” Feng Mingzhu still wanted to pester her.
Chu Qianli said indifferently, “Even friends should have their personal space. You can’t keep bothering me, can you?”
“So, you’re agreeing to be friends with me?”
Feng Mingzhu was instantly excited. “Good, good, good. I won’t disturb you. You’re my friend anyway!”
As if afraid she would go back on her word, Feng Mingzhu immediately said, “I’m leaving now. I’ll find you to play another day!”
She quickly ran off.
Before leaving, she couldn’t forget to remind her, “Little Li’er, we’re friends now, remember!”
The noisy voice finally faded away.
Chu Qianli let out a sigh.
It wasn’t that she disliked Feng Mingzhu. In fact, she quite liked Feng Mingzhu’s personality.
But she thought of Xi’er.
As she had said, most people who got close to her didn’t have a good ending.
Although she was a princess, she was just a weak woman, unable to protect herself.
Someone like her, becoming friends with her, would only harm herself.
Chu Qianli didn’t want to implicate anyone else.
Hearing the faint breathing behind the flower bushes, Chu Qianli immediately walked over after Feng Mingzhu left.
Thinking it was someone injured hiding there, she approached with extreme caution, not making too much noise.
Unexpectedly, upon clearly seeing the figure lying on the ground behind the bushes, even Chu Qianli was startled.
“Prince Xiaoyao?”
How could it be him?
“Your Highness, how are you?” Chu Qianli immediately went over and crouched beside him.
Based on her doctor’s intuition, he clearly seemed to be having a heart attack!
Feng Wuya’s brows were tightly furrowed, and he was already in a semi-comatose state.
Chu Qianli dared not think further. As a doctor, her duty was to save him first.
She took out her needle bag and was about to pull open Feng Wuya’s clothes.
Unexpectedly, as soon as her hand pulled down, it was immediately grasped by Feng Wuya’s large hand.
“Presumptuous!”
Chu Qianli looked at him. His eyes were hazy, unable to see clearly.
He didn’t even know who was trying to unfasten his clothes.
But he simply refused to let his clothes be opened by anyone.
“Your Highness, you are having palpitations. If you don’t receive acupuncture immediately to unblock your meridians, your heart will have insufficient blood supply, and your life will be in danger!”
Feng Wuya clearly didn’t understand, nor did he know who was speaking to him.
He only knew that a girl was trying to unfasten his clothes.
This was absolutely not allowed!
Feng Wuya still held onto his clothes tightly, trying to push her away.
If not for his severe condition and the real danger to his life, Chu Qianli wouldn’t have bothered with such an uncooperative patient.
Forget it, what’s the point of arguing with a patient?
With a flick of her wrist, she took out a pair of handcuffs she bought from Taobao… yes, those handcuffs used by men and women during games.
She glanced at them, feeling a little shy.
Fortunately, they seemed quite sturdy.
While Feng Wuya was in the midst of his attack and unable to struggle, she immediately cuffed his hands.
Then, using a rope, she tied his hands to a sturdy branch of a nearby flower.
Feng Wuya was weak all over. In his vision, the woman not only tied him but also tore open his clothes.
He was both angry and anxious, but during his attack, he couldn’t channel his internal energy at all.
He struggled desperately against the things binding his hands, but to no avail.
In his sight, the woman lowered her head and was leaning close to his chest…
“How dare you, I’ll kill you!” he roared.
“Your Highness, it seems you’re a little more lucid?”
Chu Qianli said expressionlessly, taking out the silver needles. “I only want to save you. I have no improper intentions. Don’t worry, I’ll leave once you’re better. I won’t even glance at you again.”
Feng Wuya was somewhat exasperated, but his anger only made his breathing more erratic.
He had difficulty breathing, and his consciousness gradually blurred.
Finally, as the girl inserted the first needle, his chest tightened, and he couldn’t catch his breath, falling unconscious.
“Your Highness!” Chu Qianli was a little anxious.
She… had inserted the wrong needle!
Her right hand, injured by Qing Ming, was still not nimble, and her fingertips were still numb.
There was no other way. She had to put away the silver needles, buy a life-saving pill at a high price from Taobao, and force it down Feng Wuya’s throat. Then, she placed her hands on his chest and began to press rhythmically.
No matter what, she had to get him breathing again.
This guy had fainted because of her needle.
Feng Wuya, in a daze, finally gasped for breath after Chu Qianli pressed down a dozen times.
He was breathing heavily, his blurry vision fixed on the girl kneeling beside him.
Although he couldn’t see clearly, he seemed to sense her anxiety and care.
And her hands… seemed to be exerting an unusual effort.
Her hands seemed to be injured…
“What are you doing?” Suddenly, a sharp voice rang out.
The eunuch who had come out to look for Feng Wuya immediately shouted, “Guards! An assassin! An assassin! Guards!”
Soon, a group of people rushed to the scene.
Chu Qianli had just put away her needle bag and hadn’t even had time to unlock Feng Wuya’s handcuffs before she was apprehended by two guards who arrived first.
When the Emperor and the Empress Dowager arrived, they saw Feng Wuya with his hands bound and his clothes disheveled.
“Wuya!” The Empress Dowager’s face turned pale with fright.
“Quick, quickly unbind Prince Xiaoyao, quickly!”
The guards were in a bit of a panic. This thing wasn’t a rope, and they didn’t know how to unlock it.
If they used a sword to cut it, it was so close to the Prince’s wrist. If they accidentally cut his hand, how many heads would they have to lose?
As they hesitated, several princes also arrived.
Feng Yexuan glanced at Chu Qianli, who was being held aside, then shifted his gaze away from her.
He strode over, took the handcuffs binding Feng Wuya’s hands, and gently squeezed.
The handcuffs, made of some unknown material, immediately snapped.
All the guards gasped in shock.
Prince Xuan’s finger strength was truly terrifying!
Feng Yexuan took off his own robe and wrapped it around Feng Wuya.
Then, he directly picked up the unconscious Feng Wuya. “Summon the imperial physicians!”
He started to leave with Feng Wuya in his arms.
Leng Ji looked terrified and hurried after him, saying anxiously, “Your Highness, Miss Li… she’s still… here.”
“If you have the courage to do something like this, you must have the courage to bear the consequences.”
Feng Yexuan walked away quickly.
Late autumn was precisely the season when Feng Wuya’s condition frequently recurred.
If he wasn’t sent back for imperial medical treatment soon, no one knew if he could survive the winter.
“Your Highness, Your Highness, what about Miss Li…” Leng Ji chased after him.
The Empress Dowager also quickly left, supported by her maids.
The remaining princes, the Emperor, and some guards tightly secured the area.
All eyes finally fell on Chu Qianli.
Prince Xuan had abandoned her and left.
As expected, a concubine was just a concubine.
How could a mere concubine compare to the Prince’s brother?
Was Prince Xuan completely ignoring her now?
