Yu Linglong had fled.
It was out of fear that Leng Ji would transmit the Prince’s illness to her.
Qing Ming could even imagine that after Yu Linglong fled back, she would immediately cleanse herself thoroughly, multiple times!
A hint of disappointment flashed across his eyes.
He then looked back at Chu Qianli.
This so-called Princess Consort, whom he had always looked down upon, was now holding a syringe, as if about to administer that liquid medicine to the Prince again.
Qing Ming’s heart tightened, and he quickly said, “Princess Consort, this liquid medicine is ineffective for the Prince!”
“That’s because Yu Linglong pretended to know what she didn’t, stole the injections I left in Tuo Xi Village, but didn’t know how to use them.”
Chu Qianli noticed the swelling on Feng Yexuan’s arm.
Yu Linglong, this quack doctor, was actually quite skilled by ancient standards.
However, what did she understand about medical equipment from the twenty-first century?
With a few more injections, even without the flu acting up, Feng Yexuan could have been killed by her injections.
This time, she was giving Feng Yexuan a fever-reducing injection.
Afterward, Chu Qianli personally bathed Feng Yexuan and changed his clothes.
Regardless of any past grievances between her and Feng Yexuan, at this moment, Feng Yexuan was just a patient in her eyes.
She had always been gentle with patients.
These gentle and careful movements, as seen by Qing Ming and Leng Ji, were incredibly moving.
The Princess Consort truly loved the Prince deeply.
Seeing her care for the Prince as if risking her own life, what else could it be but love?
Of course, Chu Qianli was unaware of their thoughts.
After changing Feng Yexuan’s clothes, she said, “Go and make some millet porridge, don’t add any salt or any other seasonings.”
“Yes!”
“Tomorrow morning, have someone prepare rice and vegetable porridge, stew some meat until it’s very tender, don’t add oil, and just a little salt.”
“Yes…” However, Qing Ming and Leng Ji were still a bit confused. “Does the Princess Consort mean that the Prince will be able to wake up tomorrow morning?”
“He will wake up tonight at the crack of dawn, so the millet porridge needs to be prepared quickly, to see if he can eat it.”
Qing Ming and Leng Ji immediately instructed the kitchen to prepare it.
When they returned, they saw Chu Qianli hanging a bottle by the bedside.
There was water in the bottle, and it was dripping bit by bit into the back of the Prince’s hand.
A silver needle was inserted into the back of his hand?
“If you want your Prince to recover, do not ask questions. I do not wish for my unique medical skills to be leaked.”
Even the imperial physicians were sent to the outer room and were not allowed to witness her treatment process.
Therefore, no matter how many doubts Qing Ming and Leng Ji had, they did not dare to ask a single word.
Everything would be discussed after the Prince woke up.
As long as the Prince could be cured, whatever the Princess Consort said was fine!
They would listen to her!
…That night, at the early hours of the morning, about two hours before dawn.
Feng Yexuan woke up.
He had truly woken up!
No longer just opening his eyes vaguely, but completely and thoroughly awake!
“Dead woman!”
No one had expected that the first thing the Prince would do upon waking was to grab Chu Qianli’s wrist.
“You dare to abandon this Prince! You dare to try me!”
Chu Qianli looked utterly bewildered.
Was he still angry about the divorce letter?
This man was too petty!
“Prince, the Princess Consort did not abandon you. She was not here before because she was imprisoned by the Emperor.”
Qing Ming knew very well what the Prince was angry about.
It was all Yu Linglong’s fault, for saying many bad things about the Princess Consort in front of the Prince during the only time he had woken up.
Leng Ji also quickly said, “Prince, after the Princess Consort was released, she rushed back to take care of you immediately!”
“The Princess Consort is deeply devoted to you, Prince, please do not misunderstand!”
“The Princess Consort disregards danger and is not afraid of contagion, personally taking care of you!”
“The Princess Consort is risking her life for you!”
Qing Ming was moved by this genuine affection. He announced loudly, “Prince, the Princess Consort is loyal to you until death, please discern this, Your Highness!”
