Chapter 688: Chapter 687: Still Holding Back Against Her

Whether it was Chu Qianli or Yu Linglong, their medical skills were both very exceptional.

Therefore, now that His Majesty said she had taken the Empress Dowager’s pulse and determined that the Empress Dowager could not possibly get better, Hongchou felt reassured.

"However,"

Chu Qianli lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked at the bustling crowd outside, her eyes gradually darkening.

"I can feel that Prince Yexuan is still holding back from me."

She did not know how the former Chu Qianli and Feng Yexuan had gotten along, but now she could clearly feel that Feng Yexuan’s heart might not fully be with her.

At least, not entirely.

Although she was reluctant to admit it, Chu Qianli knew all too well that no matter how much he assured her that he would not desire another woman, it could not change the fact that the first person he looked at when he came out of a room was that despicable girl.

Xiaoyao always mattered in his heart!

This time, Chu Qianli brought some new medicine for the Emperor, which she had refined during the past two days.

"The prescription I gave to His Majesty the other day was only meant to help him get through these couple of days. After all, the pain of the illness is indeed hard to endure, but that prescription has no benefits for His Majesty’s health."

"If you knew that, why did you prescribe that medicine?" the Emperor asked, feeling stifled.

Chu Qianli replied softly with a smile, "If I hadn’t prescribed it, I was afraid that His Majesty... might not be able to hold on. Haven’t I brought the medicine I personally refined?"

Chu Qianli handed the bottle to Eunuch Qing, who immediately passed it to the Emperor.

This time, the Emperor was somewhat dubious and did not dare to take it right away.

Chu Qianli said, "Your Majesty, refining medicine takes time, but although that prescription has side effects, it can indeed relieve pain. As for those side effects, they won’t have too much impact on Your Majesty’s health within two days of taking it."

"Balancing the pros and cons, it’s naturally important for Your Majesty to get through the time it takes for me to refine the medicine in peace. Does Your Majesty really want to endure the pain instead?"

The Emperor and Eunuch Qing looked at each other.

If she truly had a solution and it was just to get the Emperor through two days, then prescribing that pain relief with side effects was somewhat excusable.

Could it be, they were wrong about her?

"Why doesn’t Your Majesty try this medicine?" Chu Qianli added, "Of course, if Your Majesty still has doubts, Eunuch Qing could try it first."

"How could I possibly doubt you?" Although she was the Empress, she was currently in the Imperial Palace of Beiming Country.

If she really dared to harm him, she wouldn’t have a chance to take a single step out of the Imperial Palace.

It was impossible for her to want to poison the Emperor.

After some thought, the Emperor finally took the medicine.

Upon taking the medicine, he initially felt no different, but soon he began to feel a chill throughout his body.

Afterwards, the pain in his abdomen really did begin to diminish slowly.

The Emperor’s complexion got better and better.

In the time it took Chu Qianli to drink two cups of tea before the Emperor, she regained his trust.

Upon leaving, Hongchou was somewhat puzzled. "Your Majesty, since you have a way, why didn’t you last time... "

"Last time, I hadn’t thought of a solution yet," Chu Qianli said indifferently.

Hongchou knew that there were many things she might not be willing to share with her.

Having just left the Imperial Palace, she looked up to see a carriage quietly waiting for her subordinates not far away.

Hongchou recognized the emblem in a low voice. "Your Majesty, it’s Prince He."

Chu Qianli lifted the curtain, watching the guard approaching from that direction, her eyes narrowing.

Prince He had said that the matter of the Medicine Man had nothing to do with him, and Chu Qianli did not know whether to believe him.

Was what he said the truth, or was it just that he still didn’t trust her enough?

The guard approached Chu Qianli’s carriage and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, my lord, the Prince, invites you to his residence."
