Money makes the world go round; this is an age-old truth.
The Heaven and Earth Lock, not only did the people behind the Medicine Man Corps want it, but if it appeared, all of their Northern Underworld princes would undoubtedly be desperate to obtain it.
Why did the eldest brother look so unconcerned?
Chu Qianli moved her lips, the words reaching her mouth, only to be swallowed back down.
She had promised Uncle Jiu that she couldn't speak of this matter.
But the Heaven and Earth Lock was clearly in her Qiankun Chain space, so why was there news spreading that it had appeared in the Southern Underworld Imperial City?
Uncle Jiu would never lie to her; the one he had given her before was definitely the true Heaven and Earth Lock.
She trusted Feng Dingchu unconditionally.
"Who released this news?" she asked.
"Eldest brother suspects someone deliberately released the news to lure everyone to the Southern Underworld?"
Shiyi thought about it. It wasn't impossible.
"However, Eldest brother, the treasure of the Heaven and Earth Lock is too important. Before we confirm whether the news is true or false, we cannot be careless."
It could be said that the forces of Prince Xuan and Prince He were almost evenly matched. At this time, whoever between the two princes could obtain the treasure of the Heaven and Earth Lock would have an absolute advantage and could monopolize the court.
The two of them would definitely rush to the Southern Underworld Imperial City.
Chu Qianli had her own considerations.
The news that the Heaven and Earth Lock was in her Qiankun Chain was likely spread intentionally; it was definitely a conspiracy.
"What is the situation at Prince Xuan's mansion now? Is Prince Xuan... ill?"
"I haven't been able to infiltrate the Five Continents Garden yet, so I don't know what the news inside is, but..."
Shiyi thought for a moment before saying, "Most likely, he is either ill or severely injured and unconscious."
Chu Qianli's heart still ached involuntarily.
But her face revealed no emotion.
"No need to inquire about the news inside." With Huarong there, he wouldn't let Feng Yexuan be harmed.
If Shiyi delved deeper, he would put himself in danger.
"I have something else I need you to do."
...
Chu Feiyan woke up.
Upon hearing that Chu Qianli was in Yuhua Palace, she was instantly furious.
"That bitch must be here to harm me; I'm going to kill her!"
She flipped over to get out of bed, but accidentally bumped her wound, causing her to grimace in pain.
"What's going on? Who injured me? It hurts so much!"
Gui Tong and Chu Minghao exchanged glances.
She didn't know who had injured her?
Just as Chu Qianli had said, after she woke up, she had indeed forgotten what happened that night.
Could it be that her mind was truly controlled by someone?
"The county princess accidentally stabbed herself while practicing swordplay," Gui Tong said.
How could Chu Feiyan believe that? Just as she was about to retort, Chu Minghao unexpectedly nodded, "You did stab yourself."
"Brother!"
"You've just woken up and your body hasn't recovered yet. You should rest more."
Seeing that her spirits were not bad and she seemed to be fine, Chu Minghao stood up and glanced at Gui Tong.
Gui Tong immediately retreated.
Chu Qianli could not be taken lightly; he had to guard her personally.
"Brother!" Chu Feiyan couldn't let go of this only chance to deal with Chu Qianli. "Is that bitch still imprisoned by you? I won't kill her, but I want to see her!"
"No." Chu Minghao's expression turned slightly cold. "You cannot touch this person yet."
"Brother..."
"I have other matters to attend to. You should rest well."
Chu Minghao no longer paid attention to her and turned to leave.
Chu Feiyan gritted her teeth.
Forcing her not to move against Chu Qianli was impossible.
Now that she was on her territory, how could she not kill her to vent her hatred?
