After Leng Ji left, Chu Qianli slowly walked up to Xiao Yao.
She hooked her lips, smiling with great delight, "Now that there's a charge of murdering the Empress Dowager, do you think Ye Xuan will still protect you?"
Xiao Yao ignored her completely.
No matter what she thought, it was meaningless to say anything in front of this woman.
It would only give her more opportunities to mock herself.
Chu Qianli said again, "Don't you want to know how you got into this trouble?"
Xiao Yao still had no reaction. She walked to a tree by the side, leaned against the trunk, and closed her eyes to rest.
"Your Majesty." Hong Chou gently tugged at Chu Qianli's sleeve.
If Chu Qianli wasn't her benefactor, Hong Chou probably wouldn't have bothered with her.
This Majesty was getting a bit carried away.
"Walls have ears," Hong Chou whispered.
Chu Qianli pursed her lips, unwilling to accept it.
It was a rare opportunity to say a few sarcastic words.
However, she knew in her heart that if she continued, she would easily expose some information.
After adjusting herself several times, Chu Qianli finally quieted down.
Hong Chou ordered someone to bring a chair, and Chu Qianli sat on it, continuing to wait slowly.
After an unknown amount of time, the door was opened, and Feng Jinrui was the first to come out.
"Xiao Yao." He didn't even look at Chu Qianli and immediately walked towards Xiao Yao, who was standing under the tree.
"How is the situation?" Xiao Yao asked.
Feng Jinrui felt a little gratified. The first glance she gave him was not to explain herself, but to inquire about him.
It was enough to show that Xiao Yao truly considered him one of her own.
Because she trusted him, she also firmly believed that he trusted her as well.
Friends didn't need explanations.
Feng Jinrui said, "The situation is very bad. Liu Jin said he doesn't know when he will wake up, but there's nothing we can do right now."
"Can I go in and take a look?"
"I'm afraid... it's not possible." Feng Jinrui shook his head and sighed silently, "Fourth Brother's expression is very grim. Leng Ji has already suggested you come to help, but Fourth Brother flatly refused."
Xiao Yao was a little disappointed.
That dog man really didn't trust her.
Not long after Feng Jinrui, Feng Ye Xuan also came out.
Xiao Yao immediately went over and said sternly, "I didn't know the person in the carriage was the Empress Dowager. I only saw Hong Chou driving the carriage, and I thought..."
"Ye Xuan, she deliberately tried to harm the Empress Dowager, and now she's trying to slander me."
Chu Qianli also immediately stood up and walked in front of Feng Ye Xuan, appearing helpless.
"I know, your relationship with her..."
She paused, her expression very unpleasant, as if she was unbearably sad.
But she still endured it and said in a hoarse voice, "Ye Xuan, I know it's common for men to have three wives and four concubines. I didn't understand before, and now I've tried hard to convince myself to accept it, but..."
Her gaze fell on Xiao Yao, a hint of disappointment in her eyes.
"But you can't let these favored concubines flaunt their power after returning. If you favor concubines over your wife, it's against the laws of heaven! Ye Xuan, shouldn't you also manage these arrogant concubines?"
Xiao Yao's face suddenly darkened.
She actually slandered her as a concubine!
She and Feng Ye Xuan had no such relationship!
"Chu Qian..."
"Take her down." Feng Ye Xuan's voice was very cold, showing no emotion at all.
Jing Ri Wang Yue immediately entered from outside the courtyard and seized Xiao Yao.
Xiao Yao angrily said, "Feng Ye Xuan, when did I become your concubine? I have nothing to do with you, you have no right..."
"Lock her up."
Feng Ye Xuan's face remained devoid of any emotion, always as cold as an ice mountain.
"Without my command, no one is allowed to release her! Including you!"
His icy gaze fell on Feng Jinrui.
Feng Jinrui's heart trembled, and he dared not speak.
Fourth Brother was very angry, and this time, he was serious!
