"Oh." Qi Zhiyu nodded knowingly, and then... that was it.
Duke Wei waited for a while and found that Qi Zhiyu did not make any further moves.
He didn't even glance at the King of Wu, let alone go to check on him.
She simply let the King of Wu struggle futilely under the restraints of his guards, as if nothing had happened.
"Princess." Duke Wei could wait no longer.
If the King of Wu really dies, what will happen to the Jiang family?
Years of investment certainly can't go to waste!
"Duke of Wei, is there something you need?" Qi Zhiyu asked innocently.
Duke Wei felt a surge of blood rushing to his head.
Qi Zhiyu is just... utterly despicable!
Duke Wei took a deep breath, suppressing his anger: "Princess, since you have a solution, you should go and show it to the King of Wu."
"Why should I?" Qi Zhiyu asked in surprise.
Duke Wei was astonished. Had all his righteous words been for nothing?
The Duke of Wei's expression was so obvious that Qi Zhiyu kindly explained to him, "You are a subject, that is your duty."
"Am I not a subject?"
Duke of Wei: "..."
The entire court of officials: "..."
That makes so much sense!
"Your Majesty," the Duke of Wei bowed to Emperor Kangwu.
Emperor Kangwu smiled slightly and looked at Qi Zhiyu: "Chen'an, what conditions do you require for your treatment?"
"Grandfather, I don't really know how much it costs to treat a prince." Qi Zhiyu smiled innocently, as if she were naive.
"Shouldn't it cost more to cure an ordinary person?"
Emperor Kangwu smiled broadly: "That should be the case, but you'll need to discuss the specific consultation fee with the Prince of Wu yourself."
"Actually, I don't really want to get involved, after all... I've never dealt with this kind of thing before." Qi Zhiyu said helplessly.
"I'm not entirely sure either."
"I have no idea whether the King of Wu needs my treatment."
"I want..." A weak voice rang out, and even Emperor Kangwu almost didn't recognize that it was the King of Wu speaking.
This is so different from the King of Wu's usual voice.
It seems that the Gu worm is really quite troublesome.
"Do you need it?" Qi Zhiyu smiled. "Okay, let's talk about it first."
Upon hearing this, all the civil and military officials looked at Qi Zhiyu in disbelief.
Has Princess Chen'an gone mad?
The King of Wu was in so much pain that it took four guards to hold him down.
Given this situation, why does Princess Chen'an still want to talk to the King of Wu?
How should we discuss this?
Was the King of Wu still lucid despite the pain?
Qi Zhiyu didn't care what others thought and walked straight to King Wu's side.
With a flick of her wrist, she held a silver needle between her fingers and thrust it into the King of Wu.
The imperial physician was greatly alarmed.
Princess Chen'an didn't stab any acupoints, so what's the point of stabbing her like that?
As the needle fell, the struggling King Wu suddenly stopped moving.
Even the composed Emperor Kangwu couldn't help but lean forward slightly to get a better look.
The King of Wu not only stopped struggling, but the pain on his face also disappeared.
Is that all?
Everyone looked at each other in astonishment.
The imperial physician took two steps forward in disbelief.
Why?
That place isn't an acupuncture point, and Princess Chen'an only had one needle inserted, so how come Prince Wu is fine?
Is that all?
Why?
The scene before him was far beyond what the imperial physician had learned in his entire life; he couldn't understand it at all.
"Come, King Wu, let's talk about the consultation fee," Qi Zhiyu said, squatting down and smiling at King Wu.
The excruciating pain caused the King of Wu to lose too much physical and mental strength.
Qi Zhiyu had finished speaking, but King Wu still stared blankly without reacting at all.
Duke Wei couldn't stand it any longer: "Princess, your priority now is to treat the King of Wu. What are you talking about regarding fees?"
"Oh, then let's not talk about it!" Qi Zhiyu pulled out the silver needles and stood up.
"Ah! Tan, Tan!" The moment the silver needle was pulled out, King Wu's miserable scream almost deafened everyone.
Qi Zhiyu was in a difficult position: "King Wu, did the Duke of Wei say...?"
"Ignore his nonsense!" King Wu roared in anger, speaking recklessly.
He's in so much pain, why is the Duke of Wei spouting nonsense?
Did he ever dig up the ancestral graves of the Duke of Wei?
The Duke of Wei turned green with rage.
Unfortunately, Qi Zhiyu gave him a helpless look and said, "Duke of Wei, it's clear that the King of Wu prefers to talk."
"Then I have no choice but to listen to the King of Wu."
"You don't mind, do you?"
If possible, the Duke of Wei would like to draw his guard's sword and stab Qi Zhiyu to death.
The King of Wu stared at him as if he were the one who had killed his father.
Qi Zhiyu was still slowly asking him if he minded.
Qi Zhiyu definitely did it on purpose!
"Please, Your Highness, treat the King of Wu as soon as possible!" Duke Wei bowed to Qi Zhiyu and made his request.
He lowered his head, concealing the hatred on his face that made him want to tear Qi Zhiyu to pieces.
Qi Zhiyu is ruthless!
In front of everyone, he was forced to bow his head to her.
He remembered this humiliation!
Qi Zhiyu had no choice but to give King Wu another acupuncture treatment.
The imperial physician astutely noticed that the location of this injection was different from the previous one.
However, the King of Wu did indeed stop calling out.
The imperial physician was bewildered. Different locations, same effect... What, what's going on?
"Yu'er, show your royal uncle a good look." Prince Rui brought over a low stool from the side and had Qi Zhiyu sit down.
He's always squatting, what if it tires out his daughter?
Qi Zhiyu nodded: "Don't worry, Father."
"Just because he is my father's younger brother and the son of my grandfather, I will do my best."
Prince Rui sniffed, touched: "Good child, you are so kind-hearted!"
Emperor Kangwu, seated atop the throne, remained silent.
The eldest brother is becoming increasingly shameless.
The people in the main hall: "..."
Who was the guy who pulled the silver needles out of the King of Wu's body without hesitation?
Huh? ? ?
who is it?
Let alone being kind-hearted, what normal person would be so cruel?
Who could bring themselves to do that?
Is Prince Rui blind?
Regardless of what others thought, it didn't stop Qi Zhiyu from speaking: "Uncle, if I had intervened, I would have saved your life."
"What kind of compensation do you think you need to pay to atone for your life?"
The King of Wu's face, already pale from the pain, looked even more grotesque at this moment.
Everyone looked at Prince Rui with mixed feelings.
Some people wished they could grab Prince Rui by the shoulders and shake him hard.
Let Prince Rui see clearly what the person who said these words has to do with the word "goodness".
No matter how much scheming they have behind the scenes, at least they'll put on a facade.
Princess Chen'an didn't even bother to pretend.
The King of Wu, panting heavily, asked, "What...what do you want?"
His heart was bleeding.
Qi Zhiyu might just wipe out most of the foundation he has painstakingly built over the years.
But if he dies, all the great cause will be nothing but empty talk.
If Qi Zhiyu takes the opportunity to make exorbitant demands, he can show everyone what kind of daughter Prince Rui has raised.
Taking advantage of someone's misfortune!
They're still risking the lives of their own loved ones for their own benefit.
Is Prince Rui, who raised such a cold-blooded daughter, the best candidate for that position?
