It was dusk on the sixth day, nearing nightfall.
Not only had Yu Linglong visited today, but the Emperor himself had sent a royal physician to check Prince Feng Yexuan’s pulse.
As before, Feng Yexuan used his own internal energy to disrupt his pulse, leaving them completely clueless about the Prince’s current condition.
This way, he managed to evade both sides.
However…
“Fourth Brother, this isn’t a solution. Tomorrow is the deadline the demoness gave Father and Grandmother. They will definitely come in person.”
By then, either Chu Qianli would heal Fourth Brother, and he would wake up.
Or, Father would execute Chu Qianli.
The Emperor never broke his word. If Fourth Brother couldn’t “wake up” after seven days, Father would absolutely show no mercy to Chu Qianli.
But if Fourth Brother did wake up, it would mean Chu Qianli would have little further use to him.
Then Father would surely execute Chu Qianli.
Either way, it was a death sentence?
Yet, it seemed neither Fourth Brother nor the demoness were taking this seriously?
“Don’t worry, your Fourth Brother can handle it.”
Feng Jinrui was still a child in their eyes, so Feng Wuya’s way of comforting him was indeed like coaxing a child.
Hearing this, Feng Jinrui looked at Feng Yexuan.
Feng Yexuan nodded and said, “I can handle it, don’t worry… You dead woman, give me more!”
“No, this is too warming. You can only have porridge. If it’s not enough, I’ll serve you another bowl.”
They were eating hot pot and roasted meat.
The aroma of the roasted meat was incredibly fragrant.
But Chu Qianli only allowed Feng Yexuan to have a small piece, one smaller than his thumb!
After finishing it, she forbade him from touching any more.
Feng Yexuan’s face nearly turned completely dark!
He, the dignified Prince Xuan, supreme and all-powerful, wasn’t even allowed to eat a piece of meat?
How would he maintain his reputation in the future if this got out?
Moreover, with so many people watching, what about his dignity?
Besides Feng Jinrui and Feng Wuya, there was also Liu Jin, Leng Ji, Long Ziyue, and Fu Long present.
Although Long Ziyue and Feng Wuya were also tempted, they were more willing to cooperate and obedient.
Ah Li said they could only eat a little, and even if they wanted more, they could only have a little.
But this little bit was almost half a bowl, unlike Feng Yexuan, who only got a tiny bite?
It wasn’t even enough to get between a cat’s teeth.
“You dead woman…”
“I said no, and that’s final. If you don’t listen to me, Liu Jin will take care of your illness from now on.”
“You!” This was too much of an insult!
With so many people watching, weren’t they all mocking him?
Where was his dignity as a man?
“You dead woman…”
“Liu Jin, from tonight onwards, I will no longer manage this person. You move in with him.”
“I won’t eat it anymore, is that okay!”
Feng Yexuan glared at Liu Jin, wishing he could kick him away and send him as far as possible!
Who wanted to live with him?
“Then… can I eat this?”
“No, you can only have porridge.”
“You dead woman…”
“Liu Jin!”
“I won’t eat it! I won’t eat it, is that enough? Make Liu Jin scram!”
“Your Highness, after I finish eating, I will definitely scram, I will scram far away.”
“You scram now!”
“Alright, I’ll scram immediately, just one more bite.”
“…”
Everyone was speechless.
They had never seen Prince Xuan in such a pathetic state.
He was clearly furious, his face as dark as a thundercloud, enough to make anyone tremble.
Yet, he was completely controlled by Chu Qianli. No matter how much he raged, with just one word from her about “ignoring him,” the tiger immediately turned into a kitten.
He dared not cause any more trouble.
Is this what they call a match made in heaven, or one who can tame another?
At night, Chu Qianli finally found some free time and went to Feng Wuya’s room to check his pulse.
After a moment, she said, “Your vital energy has recovered quite a bit, and your body is stronger than before. So… prepare yourself mentally. Are you willing to accept my surgery?”
Feng Wuya moved his lips.
Chu Qianli added, “Don’t rush to answer me. My equipment hasn’t arrived yet anyway.”
Since that day, her WeChat had never reconnected to the internet. She didn’t know when she would be able to contact her senior brother again.
She also paid attention to her system daily, but her senior brother hadn’t sent the equipment she needed.
Although it was difficult for ordinary people to obtain medical equipment, with her senior brother’s connections, it shouldn’t be difficult for him to get it for her.
Moreover, her senior brother was not short of money, so it was unlikely he couldn’t get it.
Could there have been an accident during transit?
Otherwise, why hadn’t she received it yet?
Chu Qianli collected her thoughts and looked at Feng Wuya, “Wuya…”
“What is the success rate of this surgery?” Feng Wuya asked calmly.
Chu Qianli wanted to say something but hesitated.
Feng Wuya smiled faintly, “Just say it. I can accept it now.”
Chu Qianli pursed her lips, then said, “If I can receive the equipment I need, the success rate is fifty percent.”
“Meaning, there’s still a fifty percent chance I might die on your operating table?”
“Wuya…”
“Don’t worry, I’m not scared. I just want to be clear.”
He had been ill for so many years. Mr. Wuchenzi had long said he wouldn’t live past twenty-five.
Either way, it was death. Actually, he wasn’t that afraid.
But now, he had the mandarin duck蛊 intertwined with her.
If something happened to him, she wouldn’t be able to live either.
Then this surgery would be more than just his own matter.
Chu Qianli hesitated for a moment before nodding, “That’s right, there’s a fifty percent chance of… dying on the spot.”
Heart surgery was different from other procedures; it was extremely dangerous, especially in ancient times with such backward medical conditions.
She looked at Feng Wuya, her voice gentle, “Don’t worry, I will definitely…”
“Don’t make promises to me. I’m just asking, nothing else.”
Feng Wuya smiled faintly and waved his hand, “I’m fine. I accept your surgery, but please give me a little more time.”
“I haven’t received the equipment yet, so I can’t arrange it immediately.”
However, Chu Qianli could see that Feng Wuya was truly willing to accept her surgery.
When the patient is willing to accept it, the matter becomes easier.
Next, she just needed to work hard to find a way to increase the success rate of the surgery.
Ideally, turn that fifty percent chance into eighty percent, or even ninety percent.
There were still many things she needed to do.
“I’m fine. You should go back and take care of Fourth Brother. If it gets too late, Fourth Brother might just rush over and drag you back.”
Chu Qianli blushed.
Thinking of that irritable and domineering dog man, a hint of a smile couldn’t help but appear in her eyes.
“That guy… who cares about him.”
But she still left.
Before she left, the smile on her lips was clearly uncontainable.
She truly, truly liked Fourth Brother very much.
After she left, Feng Wuya took out the book he had just retrieved from Consort Yu’s place, “Hundred Insects Secret Arts.”
Ah Li and the mandarin duck蛊 on him needed to be resolved first.
