Feng Yexuan indeed took Chu Qianli away.
When their group was ambushed and the battle was at its fiercest, he and Ding Chen escorted Chu Qianli and Yuxing, quietly departing on another route.
Their journey back to the palace was unexpected and therefore went very smoothly.
The Emperor seemed to have anticipated their early return, but he didn't expect that Chu Qianli was poisoned and remained unconscious.
Seeing her deathly pale face, even though he knew she was not his daughter, Chu Jiangnan's heart was still fiercely torn.
The heavy and intense pain caught him completely off guard.
It pained him so much that upon seeing Chu Qianli, his knees almost gave way and he nearly knelt down.
"Your Majesty!" Little Shunzi quickly supported him.
"Fast! Quickly take her inside! Call the Imperial Physician... no, summon Liujin!"
Although the palace physicians were proficient, compared to Chu Qianli and Liujin, they seemed inadequate.
