CHAPTER 1388: CHAPTER 1387: THE DIVINE DOCTOR, FALLS

"She... was poisoned..."

Chu Qianli couldn’t finish her sentence before her mouth opened, and she spat out a mouthful of blood.

Then, her legs gave way, and she collapsed to the ground, completely unable to stand.

Dark blood!

"Lili!" Feng Yexuan caught her in his arms, shouting, "Someone! Call the doctor!"

She had been poisoned!

"She..." Chu Qianli clutched Feng Yexuan’s robe tightly, her voice hoarse but determined to speak: "Look at... her..."

Feng Yexuan hesitated for a moment, but after her second attempt to speak, he carried her over to Feng Xi’s side.

Dead.

Her eyes were wide open, dying with a grievance unfulfilled!

It was disbelief, and it was unwillingness.

Even in death, Feng Xi herself couldn’t believe it.

When Chu Qianli saw her lifeless body, her fingers trembled, as if she wanted to say something, but not a single word came out.

"Prince!" Many people rushed over, even Ding Chen, who had been guarding Yuxing, came running when he heard the commotion.

"Prince, Miss Chu, she..."

Chu Qianli couldn’t say anything.

She had been poisoned—deadly poison!

It was Feng Xi who sacrificed her own life to poison her.

Even Feng Xi didn’t know if there was an antidote, but she didn’t even have a chance to cure herself.

With a sudden twist of her wrist, Chu Qianli summoned the last of her strength.

"Yuxing... once... twice... inject..."

After that, her head tilted to the side, and she completely lost consciousness.

The bag of medicine slipped out of her hand.

Ding Chen rushed forward and caught it in his hands.

Looking again at Chu Qianli, who was vomiting black blood, her face pale, and completely unconscious, his heart clenched in unbearable pain.

Miss Chu had used her very last ounce of strength just to remind everyone how to save Yuxing.

How could she... how could she be so kind-hearted!

Thinking about how not long ago he had even contemplated killing her to avenge Yuxing, Ding Chen wished he could slap himself to death.

"Keep that safe. I’ll make use of it!"

Feng Yexuan shot Ding Chen a glance, then ignored him entirely and carried Chu Qianli inside.

The doctor followed closely behind.

That night, the atmosphere in this place was suffocatingly oppressive.

Bleak and heavy!

This was the first time since Chu Qianli had joined them that it wasn’t her saving others, but others trying to save her.

Without Chu Qianli, the Divine Doctor, everyone’s hearts were suddenly filled with unease and even fear.

Every time someone had fallen gravely ill, they could remain calm because Chu Qianli was by their side.

With her around, there was reassurance.

But now, the Divine Doctor herself couldn’t heal, the Divine Doctor herself had collapsed—how could anyone not be afraid?

That night, Chu Lingyang and Leng Ji kept vigil outside the door, while Feng Yexuan stayed by Chu Qianli’s side in the room.

The Imperial Physicians from the palace, the best among them, had all entered the room.

However, the poison in Chu Qianli’s body was too severe. Up until now, they hadn’t been able to neutralize it completely—her life hung by a thread.

"Prince, if this continues, I fear Miss Chu..."

When Leng Ji entered the room, he was shocked by Feng Yexuan’s appearance.

The stubble shadowing his jaw was an unusual sight on the Prince—it was a rare and startling moment.

"Prince, Liujin is still in the Imperial City. If Miss Chu could... hold on a little longer, perhaps we should send her back to the Imperial City and have Liujin treat her," he suggested.

"Absolutely not!"

One of the Imperial Physicians grew anxious, warning, "The Princess’s poisoning is far too severe, and her body is too frail. If she endures the long journey and the jostling along the way, I fear..."

Before the physician could finish, Feng Yexuan suddenly stepped to the bedside and picked Chu Qianli up in his arms.

"I will never let her endure any hardship! Someone, prepare to return to the Imperial City immediately!"
