Chapter 453 Do You Want to See It Again?

Feng Wuya responded casually and left.

The guards were somewhat resentful of his attitude.

A mere prince without real power dared to be so rude to their princess.

After all, their eldest princess was soon to be enfeoffed as the Crown Princess.

She was also the Crown Prince's only choice!

However, since the princess herself didn't mind, it wasn't their place to object.

After Feng Wuya left, Long Xinghe turned and walked away, not even glancing at those who remained.

"Does she always treat you like this?" Fu Long asked Long Ziyue.

Despite being a郡主 (county princess), in front of this eldest princess, she was no different from a servant.

Long Ziyue smiled helplessly, "Who told her she's the Emperor's sole heir to the throne? She'll be the Empress in the future, so naturally, she sees all of us as mere subjects."

There's a distinction between ruler and subject; one gets used to it.

Fu Long, having worked in the palace for so many years, understood this principle perfectly.

He just felt a bit displeased seeing Long Ziyue so subservient.

"Go back and rest. Tomorrow morning, this princess will likely escort you to the palace."

As for A'Li, they had originally intended to discuss matters.

But with the assassin incident tonight, it wasn't convenient for everyone to make too many moves.

For now, they shouldn't act rashly.

Long Ziyue nodded and returned with Dan Qing.

Fu Long continued to guard the courtyard with his men.

After everyone had left, Fu Long glanced again at the room that had been instantly destroyed, his heart filled with indescribable complexity.

Long Xinghe had too many capable individuals at her disposal.

On their side, the most powerful was Feng Si, but Feng Si was reclusive and arrogant, unlikely to be willing to discuss matters with them.

As for experts, he and A'Li could be considered as such.

However, while it was easy for them to leave, it was impossible to bring a large contingent of people.

They were already being controlled everywhere before even entering the imperial city.

Once they entered Dragon City, they had no idea what dangers awaited them.

...Chu Qianli was thrown onto the bed by Feng Si.

She immediately got up and listened carefully to the sounds outside.

Only after Long Xinghe and her entourage left and the outside returned to complete silence did she breathe a sigh of relief.

"You're nervous now?" Feng Si's cold, hoarse voice sounded from above her head.

Chu Qianli looked at him, realizing she had been reckless tonight.

If Feng Si hadn't suddenly returned and helped her so much, she didn't know if she could have gotten away with it on her own.

The night-traveling clothes had naturally been thrown into the Qiankun Chain, but without Feng Si there to block for her and give her enough time, she wouldn't have been able to change her clothes completely in such a short period.

However, for this guy to be so convincing...

She instinctively touched her neck.

There were still traces of him having bitten her.

Thinking about it now, her face instantly turned crimson.

"How is it, do you really want to continue?" Feng Si narrowed his eyes.

Chu Qianli's face turned even redder, like a ripe apple.

"Sir, please don't joke!" she quickly refused.

She was still shaken from the night's events, and most importantly, she had now confirmed that Long Xinghe was indeed Jiang Xinghe.

Things had suddenly become complicated.

"You're not usually this reckless, why did you risk danger tonight to inquire about Long Xinghe's situation?"

"I think she resembles someone I used to know."

Chu Qianli didn't want to hide it from him, but she couldn't explain.

As she hesitated, she suddenly looked up, her eyes widening, "You... seem to know me very well?"

"What? Want to see my face again?"

Not only did Feng Si show no intention of avoiding her, but he even took a step forward and leaned down.

"Since you've already seen it, there's no harm in letting you see it one more time."

Chu Qianli's slender fingers twitched.

She wanted to look, but his open demeanor had dispelled half of her doubts.

If it were truly Feng Yexuan, how could he be so generous in letting her look?

Feng Yexuan should have known that no matter how he disguised himself, with her abilities, it would be easy to see if his face had been tampered with.

How could he be so generous in letting her look if he were Prince Xuan?

What was she thinking?

Why did she keep thinking about that man?

She had promised herself she wouldn't think about the past anymore.

"I won't look, it's not like I haven't seen it before."

As long as he didn't mention the part about marrying him if she looked, it would be fine.

"You still remember that you've seen it."

Feng Si straightened up, once again becoming like a towering tree blocking her path, intercepting all light directed at her.

His height was the same as Feng Yexuan's...

Chu Qianli almost slapped herself.

She had promised herself, no more thinking!

Feng Si suddenly flicked his sleeve.

The candlelight in the room was instantly extinguished.

Darkness enveloped the surroundings.

"Sir..."

"Do you plan to talk with me by candlelight until dawn?" Feng Si snorted coldly.

Chu Qianli thought for a moment and then got off the bed.

However, before her feet even touched the ground, a gust of wind from his palm swept her back, and with a thud, she rolled onto the bedding.

Chu Qianli was almost amused to the point of anger!

Did his actions have to be so rough?

If she hadn't reacted quickly enough, she would have hit her head.

"Feng..."

"Where else do you intend to go?" Feng Si's voice was already hoarse, and at this moment, it was tinged with an displeased low tone.

Having gotten used to it, it didn't sound unpleasant anymore.

Chu Qianli knew he had misunderstood and quickly said, "I wasn't planning to go out. It's a play, I understand. I just wanted to sleep on the chair."

"Did I say I wanted to sleep with you?" He was so defensive!

Chu Qianli quickly plastered on a smile, "No, no, you're a hero, how could you be interested in a woman like me? I just saw that the bench was too short for you, so I planned to sleep on the bench myself."

But Feng Si had already lain down on the bench.

Her vision was blurry, and she could only vaguely see his long legs resting on the armrest of the bench.

His legs were really long, and the bench was indeed not long enough.

"Sir, you'll be tired sleeping like this all night." After all, he had saved her tonight, and she was a grateful person.

Unexpectedly, Feng Si snorted coldly, "Either sleep on the bench, or sleep with you. Choose!"

Chu Qianli immediately shut her mouth, quickly lay down, and pulled the quilt tightly around herself.

She wrapped herself securely.

Good intentions lead to bad results! Bye!

It wasn't her problem if she felt uncomfortable!

However, how should she face things tomorrow after entering Dragon City?

She absolutely had to meet with Prince Ding'an in person.

But if she entered the palace and met him, it would be difficult to get out.

Should she enter the palace, or not?

With a thousand thoughts swirling in her mind, Chu Qianli's consciousness inadvertently drifted to the system within the Qiankun Chain.

Upon checking, her heart stirred.

WeChat, there was a message! Her senior brother had left her a message!
