Ye Qichi was also the first to approach Xiao Zhanping.

She felt his pulse.

The heart was slightly moving.

It was exactly the same as the elder princess’s cause of death last time.

But fortunately,

the time since the elder princess took the poison was shorter, it might

still be possible to save him.

She hurriedly crouched on the ground, laid Xiao Zhanping flat and then began frantically pressing his chest.

Xiao Jinxing’s eyes flickered.

The others were also watching Ye Qichi’s actions.

Since Xiao Jinxing did not speak, no one else dared to say a word.

Zhao Mengyu just watched Ye Qichi’s actions wide-eyed, even without knowing whether what she was doing was effective, she knew Ye Qichi must be trying to save Xiao Zhanping.

If the rescue succeeded,

even if her son returned, he would no longer be able to inherit the throne.

She shouted loudly, "Audacious Ye Qichi, how dare you treat the Emperor’s dragon body like this, seize Ye Qichi and throw her into the dungeon!"

Xiao Jinxing’s eyes narrowed sharply.

She glared fiercely at Zhao Mengyu.

The coldness in her eyes made Zhao Mengyu shudder with fear.

Her teeth clenched, she said to Xiao Jinxing, "By allowing Ye Qichi to do this, you are also committing a grave offense, deserving death!"

"The thief crying thief?!" Xiao Jinxing stepped closer to Zhao Mengyu.

Zhao Mengyu trembled with fright.

"Noble Imperial Concubine, the Emperor was poisoned to death, do you really think you can deceive everyone?!"

"You’re talking nonsense, your father died suddenly of a heart disease caused by Qin Junsheng’s miscarriage, and all the officials from the scholar mansion can testify to that! Don’t spread rumors here! Do you want to seize the opportunity to grab the throne?! Xiao Jinxing, don’t even think about it, the Emperor had already passed the throne to Xiao Jinsen in his dying moments, if you dare usurp, it will be rebellion!"

"So, where is Xiao Jinsen?" Xiao Jinxing directly cut to the point, not caring about what Zhao Mengyu said.

"He is certainly on his way to save the Emperor!" Zhao Mengyu coldly said.

Xiao Jinxing’s eyes shifted.

He looked at Yuan Wenkang.

Yuan Wenkang hurriedly stepped forward, respectfully saying, "After I burst into the palace, I did not see the Prince of Chu. I have already dispatched men to capture the Prince of Chu, but there has been no news yet."

So.

Did Xiao Jinsen sense something wrong and leave earlier?!

Xiao Jinxing speculated quietly.

He commanded sternly, "Yuan Wenkang, I order you to personally track down Xiao Jinsen’s whereabouts now!"

Yuan Wenkang gritted his teeth and did not accept the order at once.

Xiao Jinxing’s eyes narrowed.

"Prince, Princess Hezhen has been taken hostage by people from the Noble Imperial Concubine, I think..."

"What about Wu Xufan?" Xiao Jinxing asked coldly.

"He has already gone to rescue Princess Hezhen, but I, your subordinate, am worried." Yuan Wenkang finally spoke his mind.

He knelt on the ground.

Hoping that the King will allow him to go and rescue Hezhen.

Xiao Jinxing’s expression was cold as he ordered, "You must bring Princess Hezhen back safely."

Yuan Wenkang was momentarily stunned.

Then, "Your subordinate obeys, I shall carry out the order, even at the cost of my life!"

Saying that, he hurriedly left the Imperial Palace with a group of elite soldiers.

"General Xie." Xiao Jinxing called Xie Ruotong.

Xie Ruotong had also returned with Xiao Jinxing.

She quickly stepped forward to receive orders.

"Immediately go and capture the traitor Xiao Jinsen." Xiao Jinxing ordered.

"I obey the decree." Xie Ruotong respectfully said.

Turning to leave.

"Song Yanqing is not here." Xiao Jinxing looked around, "He might be the key person involved in Xiao Jinsen’s escape."

"I understand," said Xie Ruotong, without a hint of emotion.

"Prince, I would like to accompany Xie Ruotong to capture Xiao Jinsen," Bai Mowan suddenly spoke.

Xiao Jinxing’s eyes flickered slightly.

Bai Mowan had not fully recovered.

He had not intended to bring her back with him, but Bai Mowan insisted on being with him, claiming she couldn’t be at ease if he entered the Imperial Palace alone.

In the end, Xiao Jinxing couldn’t refuse Bai Mowan.

But now, if she were to go to capture Xiao Jinsen, he was worried her body couldn’t withstand it.

"I will take good care of my health and will not force myself," Bai Mowan naturally saw Xiao Jinxing’s concern and promised.

She had to personally capture Xiao Jinsen, to make him repay everything she endured because of him in her past life.

She wanted to personally kill Xiao Jinsen!

"Alright," Seeing Bai Mowan so resolved, Xiao Jinxing agreed.

As they were leaving, Xiao Jinxing instructed, "General Xie, take good care of General Bai."

Xie Ruotong glanced at Ye Qichi who was still trying to save the Emperor.

At this moment, her entire focus was on saving someone.

She probably hadn’t noticed anything around her.

Xie Ruotong accepted the order, "I shall obey."

Then, she and Bai Mowan left the Imperial Palace.

Inside the Imperial Palace.

Zhao Mengyu was still trembling all over.

She looked at Xiao Jinxing, then at Ye Qichi, terrified that she might actually succeed in saving Xiao Zhanping.

In the quiet great hall.

Xiao Jinxing was now also focused on Ye Qichi.

Watching her exerting every effort to perform emergency treatments on Xiao Zhanping.

Such actions, he had seen Ye Qichi perform on the battlefield.

This strange method actually managed to save quite a few people.

Xiao Jinxing just watched as sweat trickled down from Ye Qichi’s forehead, drop by drop.

He seemed to even hear Ye Qichi’s rapid breaths.

Her body exhausted.

Yet, she completely refused to give up.

Pressing down on Xiao Zhanping’s chest over and over again.

Until.

Ye Qichi said panting heavily, "There’s a pulse now."

As soon as these words were spoken.

Zhao Mengyu was so frightened that she almost fainted.

How could this be, he had stopped breathing for nearly an incense stick’s time, how could he come back to life.

"But he is deeply poisoned, if we do not detoxify him in time, he couldn’t survive tonight," said Ye Qichi, "It takes time to prepare the antidote now, and I can’t guarantee saving the Emperor before that. The only way to prolong his life is to perform blood dialysis."

"What?" Xiao Jinxing of course did not understand.

Ye Qichi did not explain, "Little Wu, do you remember how Gu Xingchuan performed the blood transfusion for Bai Mowan last time?"

"I know," Little Wu nodded quickly.

"According to what Gu Xingchuan did last time, gather all soldiers to do blood type matching, those with the same blood type as the Emperor prepare for a blood transfusion," Ye Qichi commanded while closely monitoring Xiao Zhanping’s vital signs, adding, "Xiao Jinxing’s blood can’t be used, direct relatives cannot donate."

"Yes," Little Wu did not dare to delay.

He felt that any delay at this moment might mean the Emperor cannot be saved.

"Xiao Jinxing, have your men carry the Emperor into the bedchamber to prepare for blood dialysis," Ye Qichi told Xiao Jinxing.

Xiao Jinxing immediately had people carry Xiao Zhanping into the golden dragon bed.

Zhao Mengyu just watched everyone’s actions.

She couldn’t believe that Ye Qichi could really save Xiao Zhanping.

No matter how skilled Ye Qichi was at medicine, it shouldn’t be possible!

Yet, the current situation forced her to believe that Ye Qichi really had the capability!

Could it be.

Her and her son’s ambitions would actually be thwarted by Ye Qichi’s hands?!
