Tearing the Prince's Clothes after Withdrawing Marriage
Chapter 403 - 402: What do you want?

Chapter 403: Chapter 402: What do you want?

Feng Yexuan’s eyes darkened.

He could not afford to let Chu Qianli have a private moment with His Majesty now.

Yet unexpectedly, the girl herself brought it up.

"Lili..."

"Prince, I just have some things on my mind that I wish to discuss with the Emperor, but I’m not sure if His Majesty is willing to give this humble girl an opportunity?"

The Emperor stared at her face.

How was this young girl able to speak so calmly before the Majesty of Heaven?

Would other girls her age be able to do the same?

"Very well, I will listen to what you have to say to me."

...

Chu Qianli led the Emperor to Feng Yexuan’s study.

The Empress Dowager took Feng Yexuan back to his bedroom to rest.

As for those outside the study, this time it was Fu Long and Leng Ji keeping watch.

Though Fu Long was a man of the Emperor, he would surely protect Chu Qianli at all costs if she were truly in danger.

Feng Yexuan saw through this point quite clearly.

Inside the room, besides Chu Qianli and the Emperor, there was also Eunuch Qing.

To save time, without waiting for Eunuch Qing to speak, Chu Qianli took the initiative, "Your Majesty, you have long suffered from pain below your ribs and top of your stomach, so severe at times that life feels worse than death, sleepless nights ensue, and even the pain medication prescribed by the Imperial Physician is essentially ineffective."

"What are you talking about?" Eunuch Qing’s face darkened.

The Emperor’s brows furrowed tightly.

Though he did not speak, it was obvious his expression changed.

"This point should be diagnosable by any decent doctor who takes your pulse, Your Majesty; of course, I inferred it from your complexion."

"However, there is another matter that perhaps other doctors might not be able to discern just from looking at someone’s face."

Chu Qianli met the Emperor’s gaze and spoke calmly, "Your Majesty, when using the privy, you have also experienced unbearable pain, and when it strikes, even your tears cannot be held back."

"Insolence!" Eunuch Qing roared.

The people outside instantly tensed.

Leng Ji and Fu Long exchanged looks, their palms tightening instantly.

The moment Chu Qianli called out, they would have to burst in, regardless of the consequences.

However, aside from Eunuch Qing and the Emperor, there should be no other outsiders inside.

In terms of martial arts, neither of them should be a match for Chu Qianli.

Chu Qianli ignored Eunuch Qing’s reprimand and continued to meet the Emperor’s gaze, her words cold and steeped with the conviction and confidence of a healer.

"Your Majesty, to conceal an illness and shun medical advice will only bring momentary valor, it will not aid your condition in the slightest."

"If I’m not mistaken, the Imperial Physicians in the palace must be at their wits’ end by now."

"You..." Eunuch Qing’s face twisted, at times angry and at others, seemingly a glint of hope flickering in his eyes.

But he dared not speak.

"Your Majesty, although your condition is difficult to treat, it is not incurable; there’s no need to be so disheartened."

"What do you want?" the Emperor suddenly asked.

Eunuch Qing’s eyes brightened, was the Emperor... willing to believe in Chu Qianli?

Although Eunuch Qing did not know whether Chu Qianli truly had the ability.

After all, there were so many Imperial Physicians in the palace, each a master of the medical arts.

Yet for so long, they had been powerless against the Emperor’s ailment.

Chu Qianli, so young, a mere girl... yet she had indeed saved Prince Yexuan.

Let it be known, that day, the two Imperial Physicians who accompanied them were the most experienced and skilled in the entire palace.

And yet, they were powerless.

Could it be that Chu Qianli truly had the means...

Eunuch Qing dared not decide on his own and could only quietly observe the Emperor’s expression.

Chu Qianli said, "I know, if a subject’s daughter says she wants the position of Princess Yexuan, the Emperor will certainly be displeased. Even if he agrees now, once the subject’s daughter cures the Emperor, he will find a way to eliminate the subject’s daughter."

The Emperor didn’t speak, and Eunuch Qing didn’t dare to.

However, her words were not false.

This girl is indeed clever, completely impenetrable!

"So what do you really want?" the Emperor finally asked again.

"The Emperor need not rush to ask what the subject’s daughter wants. In fact, the subject’s daughter hasn’t decided yet. However, the Emperor could first try to see if the subject’s daughter can really treat your illness."

Chu Qianli took a small bag out of her pocket.

"Emperor, are you willing to let this subject’s daughter give you an injection to try?"

She took out a syringe.

The Emperor’s face showed difficulty immediately.

A person, if they harbor killing intent towards another, will inevitably be on guard against that person.

Before this, he had indeed wanted to kill Chu Qianli.

Chu Qianli saw through it but did not speak it.

Killing the Emperor is impossible. The world is his dominion; unless she no longer wished to live, she would not harbor evil thoughts against him at this time.

She said with a smile, "Emperor, after this injection, within the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, your pain should be reduced by at least half."

"Is it really that magical?" The Emperor immediately became interested.

You should know, today he came here and his body has also been in constant discomfort.

He has been in pain.

As she said, when he went to relieve himself in the morning, the pain brought tears to his eyes.

Because of this, the Emperor now dares not even drink tea, only because he does not want the urge to use the restroom.

This pain, truly, is hard to speak of.

"The Emperor can try and will know. The subject’s daughter naturally wouldn’t dare do anything to the Emperor. Outside, everyone belongs to the Emperor. The subject’s daughter doesn’t want to die yet."

The Emperor snorted.

This girl has a big heart, but at least she knows her limits.

"Alright, I will give you a chance to try."

Chu Qianli walked over to the Emperor’s side and ordered Eunuch Qing to roll up the Emperor’s sleeve.

When receiving the injection, the Emperor’s face still looked somewhat unpleasant.

However, as she said, the injection felt only like a mosquito bite, and once the needle was withdrawn, it no longer hurt.

"Eunuch Qing, why aren’t you pouring tea for the Emperor?" After retracting the needle, Chu Qianli asked with a smile.

Eunuch Qing’s face showed difficulty at once.

The Emperor waved him off directly, saying, "No need..."

"But Emperor, you need to drink more water for this illness. Try not to drink tea, but straight warm water would be best."

"I said no need!" Drinking water led to the need to relieve oneself, and the pain during that would cost him half his life.

But this time, Chu Qianli personally poured him warm water and brought it over to him.

The Emperor’s face darkened with anger, "Can’t you understand what I’m saying? I said..."

"Emperor, you have stones blocking..." Alright, some of the professional jargon might not be understood.

Chu Qianli had to choose the simplest and most direct words, "It’s blocking the Emperor’s... ahem, in any case, you must drink more water to flush it out for relief. Otherwise, you will keep suffering from unbearable pain."

The Emperor was silent, looking at the cup of water with an odd expression on his face.

Chu Qianli continued, "Don’t worry, after this injection from this subject’s daughter, I guarantee you won’t feel pain later, or else I will twist off this head of mine and give it to you to use as a ball, how about that?"

The Emperor looked at Eunuch Qing.

Whatever pain he had, Eunuch Qing naturally also knew about it.

If he drank water, he would soon feel the urge to relieve himself, and if the pain struck again...

But even if he didn’t drink water, he couldn’t hold out for much longer; the urge would come at some point.

This... what to choose?
