Uncertain of life or death…
Impossible, that man was peerless in martial arts, how could anything happen to him?
However, when he came last night, even she could tell he was clearly injured.
Chu Qianli took a long time to calm herself down.
“What exactly… is going on?”
But why were her hands still trembling slightly? Hadn’t she calmed down?
What did that man’s affairs have to do with her?
Why were her hands not just trembling, but her heart was also tightening, feeling an indescribable discomfort?
“I had already let Fu Ning tell you that Prince Xuan and His Majesty had reached an agreement. Prince Xuan would eliminate the Yao Ren Bing Tuan, and His Majesty would temporarily not touch you.”
Temporarily!
The Emperor’s heart is unfathomable. Who knew if His Majesty would keep his promise after Prince Xuan eliminated the Yao Ren Bing Tuan?
Seeing that Chu Qianli had put on her clothes, Fu Long turned back to look at her.
“Yesterday, Prince Xuan went to Wucheng first and targeted a stronghold of the Yao Ren in Wucheng. Last night, Prince Xuan was supposed to go to Jicheng with the team, but for some reason, he went alone.”
Chu Qianli’s heart suddenly jolted.
Fu Long didn’t know why, but she did.
That scoundrel… was coming back to see her!
Crazy! Knowing he should have gone to Jicheng with the team, he actually went alone on the way to Jicheng.
From here to Jicheng, even with the fastest horse, it would take more than three hours.
Was he planning to go without sleep on this trip?
Madman!
Fu Long, unaware of her thoughts, continued, “His Majesty just received the news that Prince Xuan had fallen off a cliff and is now frantically trying to figure things out!”
It could be seen that although His Majesty used Prince Xuan as a tool to kill the Yao Ren, he truly valued this son!
Of course, it might also be because this son was indeed very useful!
In short, His Majesty was definitely panicking now.
“As soon as I heard this news, I came to tell you first.”
Fu Long looked at Chu Qianli and realized her face was deathly pale.
“A’Li, don’t panic, this matter…”
Chu Qianli originally wanted to say that she wasn’t panicking, and she couldn’t possibly be flustered because of that man.
But before the words could escape her lips, hurried footsteps were heard from outside.
Han Zhan arrived: “Li’er, Eunuch Qing is here. Hurry and get ready, and go out to receive the imperial decree!”
Fu Long was somewhat surprised.
Didn’t this Han Zhan have a bad relationship with her?
Li’er?
This address was a bit too intimate.
Chu Qianli didn’t notice these details. She glanced at Fu Long.
Fu Long held his breath and remained silent, fearing that Han Zhan would discover his presence.
Chu Qianli said to the outside, “Alright, I’ll be out as soon as I’m dressed. Han Zhan, please entertain him for me.”
Han Zhan left immediately.
After he was far away, Fu Long breathed a sigh of relief.
He almost suffocated.
“I’ll go back to the palace to check. His Majesty might need me too. If anything happens, have Fu Ning notify me.”
“Okay.”
Fu Long left.
Chu Qianli didn’t have time to tidy herself up before she hurried out the door.
Eunuch Qing’s arrival meant that the matter must be related to Feng Yexuan.
She wasn’t anxious, truly not, it was just… she was walking too fast and almost tripped herself.
It was really not anxiety…
“Eunuch Qing, what’s going on?”
Eunuch Qing indeed had a worried and anxious expression.
Han Zhan, however, frowned and quickly came to Chu Qianli’s front: “Get dressed properly!”
Chu Qianli realized that her buttons were not yet fastened.
She quickly turned and fastened them.
Eunuch Qing couldn’t bother with so much. The situation was urgent, so he quickly got to the point: “His Majesty’s secret decree requests Miss Li to rush to Jicheng with Fu Long to search for Prince Xuan!”
… Chu Qianli was about to set off immediately.
Han Zhan blocked her: “I’ll go with you.”
Although she didn’t know what had happened, the matter seemed very serious, even Eunuch Qing’s expression was so grim.
It was clear he was extremely anxious.
Prince Xuan had an accident, what exactly happened?
“Han Zhan, Qin Liuyan is definitely not the one who poisoned me. I still need you to stay in the manor to protect my grandfather.”
Although it was calm now, the poisoner should not make a move again in a short period.
However, for safety’s sake, she could not relax.
“But you…”
“Young Master Han, this is a matter of the royal family. I advise you not to interfere!”
Eunuch Qing pulled Chu Qianli, very anxious: “Miss Li, let’s go. Immediately follow this old servant into the palace. Commander Fu should be preparing already.”
“Alright.” There was no time to delay, Chu Qianli did not want to waste a moment.
Fu Long returned, gasping for breath, truly too anxious.
Fortunately, his subordinates knew how to handle things, and did not let His Majesty discover his unauthorized absence.
After picking up Chu Qianli, a team immediately set off from the imperial city.
They rushed to Jicheng at the fastest speed.
Feng Yexuan had an accident at Butterfly Blue Mountain before reaching Jicheng.
The area around Butterfly Blue Mountain was now filled with soldiers.
But Butterfly Blue Mountain was treacherous, with continuous peaks, and no one knew what was below.
“Miss Li!” Leng Ji also led a team, searching the surroundings.
“You didn’t follow the Prince last night?” Chu Qianli asked urgently.
Leng Ji almost cried: “I did. He went back to see you, and I followed all the way!”
The Prince went back to see Chu Qianli?
Fu Long was shocked!
Last night, such a thing happened!
“Why did the Prince go back to see you?” Fu Long couldn’t help but ask.
After resolving the Yao Ren stronghold in Wucheng, Prince Xuan should have immediately gone to Jicheng with the team.
From Wucheng to Jicheng was only a five-hour horse ride, with time for rest in between.
But if he went back to the imperial city from Wucheng first, and then from the imperial city to Jicheng, it would take more than eight hours.
Then the rest time in between would be completely gone.
No wonder Prince Xuan went alone! So he had returned to the imperial city.
“He…” Chu Qianli’s face flushed. Who knew why that guy went to find her.
There was nothing special about finding her, they just kissed and hugged, and didn’t even say important words.
It was truly unnecessary.
Seeing her expression, Fu Long stopped asking.
Although it seemed incredible, it seemed to be the case.
How much did Prince Xuan like this girl?
He went without sleep, just to go back and see her?
Truly crazy!
He looked at Leng Ji: “Then you…”
“The Prince’s speed was too fast, I couldn’t catch up. By the time I caught up, the Prince was already forced to the edge of the cliff by the Yao Ren Bing Tuan.”
Leng Ji’s heart tightened, his face filled with pain.
“I couldn’t do anything but watch the Prince being forced to fall off the cliff, powerless. There were too many Yao Ren, I could only go find the army first…”
Leng Ji knew he deserved to die!
But if he had chased after them at that time, not only would he not have been able to save the Prince, but he wouldn’t even have been able to send the message.
Bringing the army to search now was the best way.
He could only pray that the Prince was alright, and that the army finding him was the only chance of survival.
Leng Ji suddenly, with a thud, knelt before Chu Qianli.
“Miss, we have no other way. You are a living immortal, you must have a way. Please save the Prince!”
