Fulong still had no intention of moving aside.
Chu Qianli frowned, her expression extremely displeased. With a wave of her hand, she said, "Qingmei, Hongchou, escort him away!"
With Qingmei and Hongchou's martial arts, even if Fulong were healthy, he might not be able to defeat them together.
Not to mention, he was currently severely injured.
A sword had pierced his abdomen. In less than an hour, even with bandaging, any movement would reopen the wound and cause pain.
Under such circumstances, what right did Fulong have to fight her?
As Qingmei and Hongchou were about to make their move, a voice suddenly came from the inner hall. "Commander Fu, this is the Xuan King's mansion's affair. It has nothing to do with you. Please leave."
Fulong frowned, knowing that she was worried about his wound being torn open.
But, if he left now, what would happen to her?
Xiao Yao emerged from within, looking at him. She said calmly, "I have nothing here, why should I fear her? It's you who gave them the opportunity to injure you. Why bother?"
Fulong glanced back at her.
He had to admit that standing with Xiao Yao now gave him a sense of fighting side-by-side.
As for the Chu Qianli before him… past events were like the wind, and things had long since changed.
"Xiao Yao..."
"Hurry and leave. Don't give them a reason to harm you. When your injuries have healed, come find me."
Fulong understood her meaning, but he was still uneasy.
Yet, he didn't know what he was panicking about. Even if Chu Qianli no longer cherished their past relationship, she wasn't a malicious person.
She wouldn't harm an innocent young girl, would she?
But he couldn't be sure about the current Chu Qianli.
What she was doing today was too evil and strange.
Who knew if she truly wouldn't harm Xiao Yao?
"You..."
"Hurry and go! You're a grown man. Since you've finished recuperating, why are you still lingering in my bedchamber? Do you want to ruin my reputation?"
Xiao Yao rolled her eyes at him and casually pushed him, "Go."
Fulong felt a myriad of emotions.
Why did he always feel that Xiao Yao's demeanor, every frown and smile, was so... comforting?
A familiar feeling.
But Fulong didn't have time to think further. Xiao Yao had pushed him out.
The wound was still fresh. As he stepped out, he accidentally pulled it, causing him to break out in a cold sweat from the pain.
Fighting in this condition, he might not even be able to save his life.
Xiao Yao was afraid he would truly lose his life...
After Fulong left, Xiao Yao spread her hands and looked at Chu Qianli. "What exactly are you looking for? My room is this small. If you're happy, search it yourself."
Chu Qianli waved her hand, and Qingmei and Hongchou immediately went inside to search.
Chu Qianli, however, remained standing in front of Xiao Yao, staring at her small, thin face, barely the size of a palm.
It was just an ordinary face, and her voice was hoarse and unpleasant, lacking any feminine charm.
How could such a person attract Ye Qingying?
Even Feng Yexuan wanted to keep her in Wuzhou Garden?
Were men's hearts truly so easily swayed?
She and Feng Yexuan had only been apart for a little over a month, and he had already changed his mind?
But how could she allow this?
Feng Yexuan was hers!
She suddenly took a step forward.
Xiao Yao instinctively took half a step back.
The woman's gaze was terrifying. Not only did an evil aura flicker in her eyes, but there was also a strong killing intent.
What a lunatic. Why did she want to kill again for no reason?
In any case, in Xiao Yao's eyes, this Empress was an out-and-out villain!
"Well? Have you found what you were looking for?" Xiao Yao asked coldly.
Chu Qianli stared at her, narrowing her eyes. "How do you know what I'm looking for? Did you hide it?"
