Chapter 391: Chapter 390 Only I Can Save Him

"Your Majesty, this must not be done!" Liujin dropped to the ground with a thud, anxiously saying, "Your Majesty, about this matter, please wait until the Prince regains consciousness..."

"Liujin, as Xuanxuan’s personal physician, and with Xuanxuan having suffered such injuries under your care, you too are bearing the guilt. You, be silent."

The Emperor waved his hand dismissively.

Liujin still wanted to say something, but was immediately dragged aside by two guards.

Another pair of guards quickly approached Chu Qianli.

The Empress Dowager knew that keeping Feng Jinrui in the palace and not allowing him to return was the right decision.

If he were here, he would surely kick up a fuss.

That brat, like his Fourth Imperial Brother, cared for this woman, and he told himself to care as well.

If he were here, he definitely wouldn’t allow the guards to take Chu Qianli away!

The current Empress Dowager was single-minded in wanting to eliminate Chu Qianli, hoping it would bring her already mad son, Xuanxuan, back to his senses.

As for the consequences of executing Chu Qianli afterwards, she didn’t care!

She couldn’t care!

Liujin was dragged aside, while two fierce-looking guards advanced on Chu Qianli.

Thinking that Chu Qianli would be frightened, perhaps even begging for mercy, they didn’t expect that Chu Qianli’s face would remain expressionless.

As they approached her, she spoke in a calm, indifferent voice, "Now, only I can save the Prince’s life. If Your Majesty allows the Empress Dowager to have me executed, it won’t be long before Prince Yexuan follows me in death."

"What nonsense are you spouting?" the Empress Dowager shouted angrily.

Chu Qianli ignored her, looking past the guards and fixing her gaze directly on the Emperor seated on the chair.

"Your Majesty, do you want to take a gamble? To bet with the life of the Prince?"

The Emperor glared at her, his hand continuously clenching within his sleeve.

"Your Majesty, do not listen to her! She’s once again bewitching the crowd with her words, she..."

"Your Majesty, if you could grant this subject just a moment longer, to first hear what the two Imperial Physicians have to say?"

Chu Qianli looked at the two Imperial Physicians standing by the bedside, still with an indifferent expression, "My death is not a pity. However, Your Majesty, if they now claim that they can heal the Prince, and yet they fail in the end, may Your Majesty beat them to death with staves as well?"

"Your Majesty!"

The two Imperial Physicians immediately turned ashen, both of them dropping to their knees with hearts pounding.

"Your Majesty, this subject is incompetent, this subject... cannot heal the Prince’s injuries!"

"This subject is also powerless!"

The two men thudded their heads on the ground.

Admitting their incompetence now might mean that the Emperor would only be angry for a moment and perhaps administer a few dozen beatings.

But if the Emperor truly executed this girl and then they still could not save the life of the Prince, when that time came, they would undoubtedly be sentenced to death.

They genuinely could not heal the Prince; his pulse was so weak that it might disappear at any moment!

"The Prince’s injuries have affected his internal organs. This humble one really... truly has no solution."

This was clearly someone on the verge of death!

They truly had no cure!

"Since you are so useless, then drag them out now and behead them!"

The Empress Dowager was so angry her vision went dark, and she nearly fainted.

Apart from anger, she felt more panic and confusion.

If even the Imperial Physicians were helpless, then could it be... could it be her Xuanxuan...

"Your Majesty, the Prince’s condition is indeed very serious. Over these three days, it has been me striving to keep him breathing. Changing doctors at this point, not to mention their medical skills, even if they are highly skilled, they might not be able to immediately understand the treatment that the Prince needs."

"Your Majesty, don’t believe her, she is just afraid of dying!"

The Empress Dowager was nearly on the verge of madness at this point!

She raged, "Behead her first! Once she’s gone, Xuanxuan will no longer harm himself for this woman!"

"There must be a way, there must be someone who can heal Xuanxuan! Quick! Someone! Drag this enchantress Chu Qianli out and beat her to death with random sticks! Hurry!"

But this time, no guard dared to heed her command.

They had all heard quite clearly what the two Imperial Physicians had said earlier.

The Imperial Physicians themselves had declared the Prince beyond saving, yet at least now, Chu Qianli was still insisting that she could cure the Prince.

If Chu Qianli were to be executed and the Prince truly... beyond help, then those who had killed Chu Qianli would have to accompany him in death!

The Emperor would not remember that it was his and the Empress Dowager’s order; at such a time, he would only think that they had killed the one doctor who could have saved the Prince!

By then, their fates would probably be even more pitiful than Chu Qianli’s!

No one dared to make a move.

Chu Qianli walked up to the Emperor, her petite face etched with resolve.

"Seven days."

Ignoring the Empress Dowager who came over to pull her, she looked at the Emperor and said solemnly, "If seven days pass and I’m unable to bring the Prince back to life, Your Majesty can kill me it’s not too late."

"Your Majesty, you can’t listen to her, you can’t..."

"Empress Dowager, please take care of yourself!" Jin Ma responded hastily, pulling the Empress Dowager back and holding her firmly in her arms.

"Empress Dowager, let the Emperor handle this matter."

"Since she said seven days, let’s give her seven days. Whatever comes later, we’ll talk about it later, okay, Empress Dowager?"

"But, she..."

"Empress Dowager, it’s just seven days! If anything happens, we’ll discuss it after the Prince wakes up! Empress Dowager, please calm down!"

Jin Ma had been by the Empress Dowager’s side for decades, and in the eyes of the Empress Dowager, she was no ordinary nanny.

Essentially, they were like sisters.

Looking at Jin Ma, the Empress Dowager watched as Jin Ma nodded significantly at her.

There were a thousand words in their eyes that didn’t need to be spelled out, and the Empress Dowager understood in her heart.

But for the moment, the Empress Dowager still couldn’t calm down.

She turned to look at Feng Yexuan lying on the bed and then at the two Imperial Physicians kneeling on the ground, shaking uncontrollably.

Both were her familiar Imperial Physicians, the best in the palace next to Yu Linglong in terms of medical skills.

However, after Yu Linglong had caused so much trouble and falsely claimed she could cure the epidemic, the Emperor had long since lost faith in her medical abilities.

Now, it seemed as if only Chu Qianli was the one person who could heal Xuanxuan...

In the end, the Empress Dowager wiped away her tears and, supported by Jin Ma, went back to the bedside, holding Feng Yexuan’s hand and silently weeping without a word.

Liujin immediately kowtowed to the Emperor, saying, "Your Majesty, when the Prince was sent back three days ago, your servant was powerless. It was Miss Chu who used her unique methods to keep the Prince hanging on to his last breath."

"Your Majesty, only Miss Chu can revive the Prince! Please think it over, Your Majesty!"

The Emperor’s face was ashen.

After a long while, he finally said, "After seven days, if I cannot see Xuanxuan awake, in addition to killing you, I will eradicate your entire Duke Residence!"

...Finally, the Emperor left.

The Empress Dowager, however, was not willing to go.

But, fortunately, upon receiving the news, Feng Jinrui hurried back, and at this moment, Chu Qianli had one more helper.

After coaxing him for half a day and assuring him that Feng Yexuan would definitely recover, Feng Jinrui listened to her and obediently stayed with the Empress Dowager to prevent her from coming over to cause more trouble.

Unexpectedly, as soon as everyone left, Feng Yexuan on the sickbed suddenly began to tremble and then, with a retch, he started vomiting blood again...
