Feng Ling was the woman who had been by Feng Yexuan's side yesterday, accompanying him in armor as he led the expedition to quell the bandits of the Shanhu Gang.
Why hadn't she been with the troops last night?
According to the message delivered by Eleven, it was said that this Miss Feng Ling had sustained a minor injury while fighting the bandits yesterday, and had returned to the rear for rest.
However, after that, no one had seen her.
Therefore, was the black-clad woman who met with their leader in the Shanhu Gang yesterday, and the person who shot a cold arrow at her amidst the bandit ranks, intending to kill her, actually Feng Ling?
Was her departure from the troops a coincidence, or had it been planned all along?
If it truly was Feng Ling, then the fact that someone by Feng Yexuan's side was secretly meeting with his enemies and colluding with them would make matters far more complicated.
"Miss, should this matter be reported to Prince Xuan?"
Eleven, working for Chu Qianli, had long since investigated the relationship between Chu Qianli and Feng Yexuan.
Of course, what their relationship was now, only the two of them truly knew.
What Eleven could know were only the relationships that were apparent on the surface.
"We have no evidence to prove that the person who met the leader of the Shanhu Gang was this Feng Ling, so even if this matter were reported to Prince Xuan, he might not believe it."
"Given your relationship with him, Prince Xuan wouldn't believe it?" Eleven asked, somewhat surprised.
Chu Qianli remained silent. Instead, she wrote a note: "Beware of spies around you," and had Eleven deliver it to Feng Yexuan.
"Prince Xuan is not as foolish as we imagine, and some matters are not as simple as they appear."
She had given the reminder. As for whether to believe it or not, that was up to Feng Yexuan himself.
... This note soon fell into Feng Yexuan's hands.
Upon seeing the note, Prince Xuan did not pay much attention to the matter of spies around him.
There had never been a shortage of spies in his vicinity.
What he was more curious about was, "Who gave you the note?"
Leng Ji quickly replied, "A brother."
Leng Ji gave an order, and a brother waiting outside entered. "Reporting to Your Highness, this note was found in my subordinate's pocket."
Feng Yexuan narrowed his eyes.
That woman had gained more extraordinary individuals around her, to the point where they could infiltrate his military camp and even deliver something into his hands without anyone noticing.
Even though Yu Linglong had stolen her identity back then, after so long in the imperial city, Yu Linglong had still been unable to develop her own influence.
Yet, this woman, in terms of connections and capabilities, a hundred Yu Linglongs were no match for her.
"You may go."
Leng Ji immediately dismissed the soldier.
He looked at Feng Yexuan, feeling a sense of unease. "Your Highness, our military camp..."
"Leave it be."
"Then..."
"She is reminding this Prince that there are spies around."
"Miss Chu still cares about Your Highness, otherwise, she wouldn't have specifically sent someone to remind you."
Leng Ji breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that they weren't arguing.
Moreover, wasn't this Miss Chu's gesture of goodwill towards their Prince?
"Your Highness, Miss is trying to give you an excuse to go and see her, isn't she?"
Although Feng Yexuan did not speak, a trace of pleasure flickered in his ink-dark, star-like eyes.
This sliver of pleasure was a rare sight on his recently frozen face!
Leng Ji seized the opportunity and immediately said, "Miss Chu has also come to Qiansui City. Your Highness, tonight... why not go and see her?"
"She is the one who wants to break up with this Prince. What is the point of seeing her?" But in his heart, he was already impatient.
Leng Ji saw through his thoughts at a glance and quickly said, "Miss Chu has already made a gesture of goodwill. If Your Highness does not go, wouldn't that be too ungracious? Your Highness, don't you agree?"
