"Your Highness Prince He, I am truly sorry, my second imperial uncle..."
Chu Minghao approached Feng Qihe, his words trailing off as if in hesitation.
After a pause, he continued, "Although he has always favored young girls, Miss Chu is, after all, this prince's guest. I believe my second imperial uncle would at least show some consideration and not do anything outrageous to Miss Chu."
"Is that so?"
Feng Qihe withdrew his gaze, looking at him and smiling, "In this King's opinion, your Prince Ling doesn't seem like someone who would give you face, Prince."
Chu Minghao's expression suddenly darkened.
Feng Qihe, however, straightened his expression and said earnestly, "Prince, since you have returned, let us enter the city first! This King intends to pay a visit to Prince Yu immediately after meeting your Emperor."
If Feng Qihe couldn't see through Chu Minghao's attempt at sowing discord, he would be a fool.
While Feng Qihe was also worried about whether Chu Qianli would be in danger if Prince Ling took her away, he reconsidered. Chu Qianli staying with Chu Minghao might not be any safer.
After all, Prince Yu's mansion still had Chu Feiyan, who constantly wished to kill Chu Qianli.
Going with Prince Ling might not necessarily be a bad thing.
Feng Qihe cupped his hands towards Chu Minghao, then turned back to his horse and leaped onto it.
Jinghong let out a sigh of relief.
He was truly afraid that his Prince would be provoked by Chu Minghao and go to Prince Ling's mansion to demand the person.
If it were his Prince in the past, who was far-sighted, steady, and calm, he naturally wouldn't worry.
But his current Prince... ever since meeting Chu Qianli, he had become particularly irritable, his emotions easily stirred.
Fortunately, the Prince had finally regained his reason.
Jinghong followed Feng Qihe, walking quickly.
Everyone waited to enter the city.
Chu Minghao clenched his fist hidden in his sleeve.
He had indeed deliberately stirred up trouble, wanting Feng Qihe to provoke Prince Ling.
It was because he was genuinely angered by Prince Ling's whip just now.
After being mocked by Chu Minghao's words, even Chu Minghao felt like a fool.
It was all second imperial uncle's fault!
And that damned Chu Qianli!
However, why did Chu Qianli know his second imperial uncle? His second imperial uncle rarely socialized, yet he personally came and took Chu Qianli away with the strongest stance.
What was the relationship between the two of them?
Could it be that there was some ambiguous relationship?
"Prince, your brothers are waiting for you to lead the team into the city," Gui Tong reminded him in a low voice.
Since they didn't know the relationship between Chu Qianli and Prince Ling, this matter would have to be discussed after entering the city.
Moreover, they had to go back and figure out what to say to report to the Prince.
Chu Minghao closed his eyes tightly, then turned back to his horse and leaped onto it.
The whip wound on his arm still burned fiercely!
Chu Lingyang, he would remember today's humiliation!
In the future, when he became the Emperor of Beiming, he would definitely not let Chu Lingyang have an easy time!
"Enter the city!"
...
Chu Qianli went directly to Prince Ling's courtyard.
Chu Lingyang, upon arriving at his own courtyard and dismounting, led her inside.
The study door!
How intimate was this relationship!
One must know that apart from the Princess Consort, the county prince, and the young master, and the occasional cleaning by the steward himself, no unrelated person in the entire Prince's mansion could enter the Prince's study.
Who was the girl who rode back with the Prince on the same horse today?
Chu Lingyang closed the door with a push, and the suppressed emotions could no longer be contained.
He held Chu Qianli's shoulders with both hands, his eyes bloodshot with urgency, "Is he still alive? Is he?"
