Master Chu knew too well to defy the crown prince’s order. He didn’t even ask for permission to leave before dashing out. “Come, quickly —”
Master Bai and Master Chu were out of sight in the blink of an eye, leaving Empress Gao and the princess behind, who eyed each other in bewilderment.
The excited look on Empress Gao’s face was immediately replaced by rage!
“Jun Linyuan! Him again!” Empress Gao clenched her fists so tightly that her fingernails dug into her palms. “Was he born into this world just to annoy me?!”
The princess was equally infuriated. “He’s doing it on purpose! I’m sure of it! He took the imperial physician away as soon as he heard about your pregnancy! Mother, he’s abominable!”
However, talking about Jun Linyuan behind his back was all that Third Princess was bold enough to do. She was like a kitten when the crown prince was around.
“What on earth is going on?” Empress Gao darted a piercing look at the chief steward.
The chief steward replied with a bow, “According to Master Bai, His Royal Highness arrived at the bureau of physicians with a young woman —”
A young woman?!
The princess’s pupils contracted and she rose to her feet. “I’ll go have a look!”
Master Chu ran as fast as he could and was finally able to reach the bureau within the time limit.
“Your Royal Highness —”
He was still panting when Jun Linyuan glanced at him with his emotionless eyes. “Need some rest?”
“No, of course not. One minute. I’ll be right there —”
Master Chu wouldn’t act so timidly even around the emperor himself. However, one cold look from Jun Linyuan and he felt frozen to the core. How could anyone say no to this teenager?
After taking a deep breath to calm himself down, Master Chu felt Feng Wu’s pulse.
His eyebrows knitted tighter and tighter.
“What do you see?” Jun Linyuan’s eyes seemed to spit fire and Master Chu feared that the crown prince would explode as soon as he said something the latter didn’t like.
Avoiding Jun Linyuan’s eyes and keeping his gaze on the latter’s nose, Master Chu said, “The young lady has a fire poison in her head and it’s spreading… If we don’t do something to stop it, I’m afraid…”
“What?!”
Little poisonous arrows were shooting out of the crown prince’s eyes now!
Despite how flustered he was, Master Chu managed to finish the sentence. “If we let the fire poison spread… even if the young lady can survive it, she’ll become… a retard.”
The next second!
A pair of strong hands wrapped around Master Chu’s neck and a cold voice rang out. “Anything happens to her, you’re all going down with her! I’m not going to repeat it.”
And the crown prince always meant what he said.
Everyone knew that, which was why all the physicians in the room dropped to their knees!
They wanted to cry, but no tears would come. Even His Majesty wouldn’t have such scarce regard for human life!
The thought of going to His Majesty for help crossed their minds, but they then remembered that when the crown prince was enraged, even the emperor himself would back off… For a moment, everyone despaired.
Master Chu said in a hurry, “I can do it! I can! We’ll just eradicate the fire poison!”
“Do it,” the crown prince said with an impassive face.
Poor Feng Wu. She had passed out and had no idea what they were going to do to her hard-earned achievement…
The eradication of the fire poison needed to be carried out with great care!
Little Phoenix thought that it was going to lose its mind!
After everything Feng Wu had done at the cost of using herself as bait, they were finally able to get enough of that external energy to complete the little abnormal flame —
Little Phoenix was going to consume that abnormal flame when —
It realized in frustration that someone was trying to take it away!
