Chapter 517: Instigating? Who Is Worse? (3)

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Based on his behavior, the director of the imperial physician academy must have sided with someone else. That was why he wanted Xie Yan dead!

The director yelled in pain upon being hit by the pillow.

He didn’t expect that a pillow would be able to dislocate his shoulder! “Shut up! Make one more sound, and I will execute you!” The emperor cared about Xie Yan. He was convinced by Zhao Chuchu and became mad at the director.

The director forced himself to endure the pain as he glared at Zhao Chuchu.

When he saw how fast and accurate Zhao Chuchu was with her silver needles, he couldn’t help but feel a little scared.

Zhao Chuchu used her silver needles to seal up all the acupoints around the wound to ensure that the Third Prince would survive when they removed the arrows.

After that, Zhao Chuchu asked for hot water.

No one dared delay her requests this time.

But Zhao Chuchu didn’t expect that someone wanted Xie Yan to die so badly that they poisoned the water!

Zhao Chuchu threw the bowl of water onto the ground and said, “Your Majesty, someone dared to poison the water right under your nose. Therefore, I suggest you thoroughly investigate everyone in the palace. I would not like to see the Third Prince die in someone else’s hands right after I save him.”

“What did you say?”

“This water is poisoned!”

The emperor’s face turned dark.

Zhao Chuchu didn’t believe in anyone now.

“Your Majesty and everyone else, please step outside the room. I can guarantee that I am able to save the Third Prince, but I don’t know if someone might try to harm him while I’m treating him…”

“Nonsense, what makes you say that there’s poison in the water?” said the director of the imperial physician academy.

“How about you give it a try? If you survive, I’ll make up for this ‘misjudgment’ with my life. How about that?” said Zhao Chuchu as she stared at the director.

The emperor ordered his men to bring over a chicken and feed it the water in the bowl. Immediately, white foam started to form around the chicken’s beak. It then twitched violently and died in a matter of minutes.

The emperor was livid. “All of you, get out!” he yelled.

Soon, the only people left in the room were Zhao Chuchu, the emperor, and his personal assistant eunuch.

Of course, the emperor wasn’t willing to go outside.

And Zhao Chuchu couldn’t chase him out.

Zhao Chuchu did the necessary prep work, then looked toward the eunuch and said, “Would you mind helping me with this? Later, when I pull out the arrows, please help me to pin the Third Prince down.”

“Okay, Mrs. Xie.” The eunuch hurriedly came forward.

He still felt rather nervous as he watched Zhao Chuchu’s actions.

The imperial physician team had said just now that the Third Prince would die immediately when these arrows were pulled out. He couldn’t believe that Zhao Chuchu dared to do this. Wasn’t she afraid of being executed?

But the emperor remained silent, so the eunuch suppressed that thought.

“I’m going to pull it out now.” After saying that, Zhao Chuchu immediately pulled the arrow out of Xie Yan’s chest.

Blood spilled all over the eunuch’s face, which completely stunned him. The emperor stood up and shouted, “What are you doing?!”

“Please remain calm,” Zhao Chuchu said quickly as she took out a packet of hemostatic medicine and laced it on Xie Yan’s wound.

The medicine was incredibly effective. It stopped the bleeding almost instantly.

“Alright. Please, could you help me get a basin of water? Do not let anyone else touch it,” said Zhao Chuchu.

The eunuch looked toward the emperor. The emperor waved his hand, which prompted the eunuch to run out of the room.

Zhao Chuchu quickly cleaned up Xie Yan’s wound and dressed it with more medicine.

Xie Yan’s body couldn’t withstand more damage than it already had, and simple medication and treatment wouldn’t take effect so quickly. So Zhao Chuchu had no choice but to use her healing powers.

The eunuch came back in with a basin of water. Zhao Chuchu checked the water and the eunuch’s hand to ensure that no one had done anything funny to them. She then moved away and said, “Please help wipe down his body.” “That’s it?” The eunuch was in disbelief.

Zhao Chuchu nodded and said, “Yup, now we just wait for him to wake up.”

“When will he wake up?” The emperor was somewhat anxious.

Zhao Chuchu said, “It will take a while.”

“Okay, then stay here and wait for him to wake up. I have already detained your family. If anything happens to him, you and your entire family will go down together with him.”

Zhao Chuchu was speechless.

What the actual f…

But they didn’t have to wait long before Xie Yan woke up.

His face was pale and ghastly.

The emperor hurriedly bent down and asked, “Yanyan, how are you feeling?

“I’m sorry for making you worry,” Xie Yan said as he struggled to sit up.

The emperor quickly pressed him down and said, “Don’t move. Your wound was just dressed a while ago. Don’t make it break open again.”

“Thank you, Father.”

“Are you really feeling alright now?”

“I’m feeling a lot better now.”

“Zhao Chuchu, come here and take a look.” The emperor was still somewhat

worried.

Zhao Chuchu said respectfully, “Yes, Your Majesty.”

“Mrs. Xie? Did you save me?” Xie Yan was astonished.

Zhao Chuchu said, “His Majesty found me and invited me here. Your Highness, please don’t move. Let me check your pulse.”

After a while, Zhao Chuchu said, “The Third Prince is no longer in mortal danger. He just needs to rest well and recover. He should be able to recover fully in about one month.” “Are you serious?”

“I wouldn’t dare to lie.”

“Father, Mrs. Xie is an extremely skilled doctor. If she said that I’m fine, that means I’m fine. She was the one who cured my illness previously,” Xie Yan explained. “Father, please let her go..”
