Chapter 108: Chapter 108: Blocked from Saving People

Chu Nanli also gasped in surprise and looked over.

"This Jade Concubine is His Majesty’s favored consort. If anything untoward happens to her, I’m afraid His Majesty will be furious."

Murmurs of discussion could be faintly heard nearby.

"Where is the on-duty Imperial Physician?" the Empress Dowager demanded with authority in her stern voice.

"Your servant is here!"

The on-duty Imperial Physician had run over from the back of the hall. After hurriedly placing down his medicine box, he checked the Jade Concubine’s pulse and his face turned pale.

"To report to Your Highness, the Empress Dowager, it appears the Jade Concubine has been poisoned. The pulse indicates that the poison is overpowering and the situation is critical. This servant... this servant is not an expert in this area and fears he is powerless to help."

The Empress Dowager’s face turned cold in an instant, "Send someone to the Imperial Medical Bureau at once!"

"There’s no time..." the on-duty Imperial Physician said nervously.

"Then prepare a sedan chair. Rush her over with utmost speed on horseback."

"I’m afraid it’s also too late, the venom is too aggressive, and the bumps along the way will make it worse..."

The Empress Dowager’s temples throbbed with visible veins, and she glared in anger, "Are you looking to get yourself killed?!"

The on-duty Imperial Physician’s face turned red with anxiety, and all he could say was, "Your servant is incompetent."

The Empress Dowager looked around with a grim expression, "Where is Bai Wuheng? Did he come today?"

"Replying to the Empress Dowager, Divine Doctor Bai has yet to arrive at the hall."

Everyone in the hall dared not even breathe loudly.

It was at this moment that Chu Nanli stood up from her seat.

Lin Fuying exclaimed in shock, "Sister, where are you going?"

In an instant, all eyes turned to Chu Nanli.

When the Empress Dowager saw Chu Nanli’s face, she paused.

"Chu Nanli, stop causing trouble," Ye Yunting gripped Chu Nanli’s arm as he stood up, his eyes filled with warning.

In such a situation, she was still thinking of showing off; she really had no idea about life and death!

Did she really think that by some fluke she saved the little master of the General Residence, she had become a Divine Doctor?

The poison that even the Imperial Physician was helpless against—if she rushed forward, it would be no different from seeking death! And he wouldn’t be able to protect her then!

Seeing this scene, the Empress Dowager’s eyes narrowed, and she almost laughed out of exasperation.

She had searched all over the Capital City, but she had not realized that the "young widow" who saved her that day was her grandchild’s wife.

What a "young widow," truly audacious to the extreme!

"I can save her, let go, any further delay and there will be no time left," Chu Nanli said.

Everyone in the hall was startled.

They hadn’t misheard, had they?

The useless War God Prince Consort knew medicine?

Although her appearance today had indeed been stunning, she could only be called a vase, and now, it seems, they had to add two words: a brainless vase.

"Sister, listen to Prince Ye, sit down. You are the one delaying the Jade Concubine’s treatment by doing this," Lin Fuying said with concern.

After she finished speaking, quite a few people murmured in agreement.

"Although Concubine Lin’s previous behavior was unpleasant, compared to the Princess Consort Chu who doesn’t know her own limits at such a critical moment, she is much more understanding."

"The rumors in the marketplace were indeed true, Princess Consort Chu is too presumptuous!"

The Empress also frowned as she looked at Chu Nanli.

The girl had seemed clever before, but now, she seemed rather clueless.

The room was overwhelmingly filled with negative opinions, and Lin Fuying’s lips slowly curled into a smile.

Just then, an unexpected person spoke up.

"Yunting, let go, let your wife have a try," the Empress Dowager said.

Everyone in the hall widened their eyes in astonishment, looking at the Empress Dowager who had spoken.

Chu Nanli breathed a sigh of relief, and taking advantage of Ye Yunting’s momentary shock, she wrenched his hand away and hurried towards the Jade Concubine.

Taking pulse, observing the complexion, checking the pupils, a series of actions flowed smoothly, leaving the Empress and others stunned, thinking absurdly: Could the useless Princess Consort Chu actually possess medical skills?

"She has indeed been poisoned, but she can be treated," Chu Nanli said, looking at the Empress Dowager.

The Empress Dowager relaxed, her expression softened considerably.

"If you cure the Jade Concubine, you will be handsomely rewarded," she said.

Chu Nanli did not care about the reward; she cared more about saving lives. She nodded then took out silver needles and focused on the treatment.

The Imperial Physician observed her skilled needlework and her precise knowledge of acupuncture points and felt relieved.

Remembering the many voices of doubt from before, he felt inclined to defend Chu Nanli. If it weren’t for Chu Nanli stepping forward, he would have either died or suffered greatly today.

"The Prince Consort’s rescue procedure is very professional. Looking at her technique with the needle, she must have put in a lot of hard work."

Lin Fuying’s face turned ashen.

This wretched woman! Why was she so lucky, always having someone speak up for her?

"Wow..."

At that moment, the Jade Concubine suddenly sat up straight, spitting out a mouthful of black blood.
