The Emperor wished to see Chu Qianli and actually sought his opinion!
Prince Xuan was truly too presumptuous!
But he spurred his horse, galloping so fast, he streaked past Eunuch Qing like a gust of wind.
Eunuch Qing, even if he wanted to stop him, couldn't.
Moreover, who would dare to stop Prince Xuan's horse?
That was the War God's steed!
To stop it? Were they tired of living?
"Your Highness, Your Highness..."
"His Highness is tired and does not wish to receive guests. Eunuch Qing, please return." Leng Ji immediately blocked Eunuch Qing.
"You..." Eunuch Qing was furious.
He stomped his feet in anger!
"It's one thing for His Highness to be willful, but are you all also acting out with His Highness?"
"How am I supposed to report back to the Emperor after this?"
"Eunuch, just report truthfully to His Highness."
Leng Ji cupped his hands and said, "I still need to attend to His Highness. I must take my leave!"
He turned and left, showing no regard whatsoever.
The arrogant master had raised a group of arrogant people, determined to infuriate Eunuch Qing to death!
Within the Wuzhou Garden, the horse's speed finally slowed.
Chu Qianli immediately grabbed Feng Yexuan's collar, her voice urgent, "Your Highness, we can't do this! I must go to the palace to see my grandfather!"
"This King forbids it." His refusal was cold and absolute.
Chu Qianli's face turned anxious!
She bit her lip, wanting to rage but not daring to.
In the end, she just looked at him and said hoarsely, "I really need to see my grandfather, otherwise..."
"Otherwise what?" He looked down at her.
Chu Qianli opened her mouth, wanting to speak but stopping herself.
Finally, she just shook her head, "In short, I must go... I won't argue with you, and I won't be angry with you anymore, alright?"
"I was wrong, I was truly wrong before. I can't fight against you, I can't fight against your royal family. I was truly wrong!"
Feng Yexuan, however, felt a pang of unease at her dejected words.
He didn't know what he truly wanted.
When she was disobedient and aloof before, he had thought of plucking her wings one by one.
To prevent her from flying too high or too far, to ensure she never escaped his grasp.
But now, she was dispirited, disheartened, even despairing.
She was yielding to him, admitting her mistakes! Yet, he couldn't feel happy at all.
He suddenly turned his horse and galloped all the way towards Qianyun Pavilion.
Afterward, Chu Qianli was left in his sleeping quarters, his cold figure quickly departing.
Chu Qianli wanted to chase after him, even attempting to confront the guards at the courtyard gate.
But she didn't expect this action to enrage the Prince.
Feng Yexuan, who hadn't gone far, turned back, his long finger landing on her shoulder.
Chu Qianli's hard-won internal energy was completely sealed by him!
She was rendered powerless.
"Princess Consort... Princess Consort, please don't be like this!"
Qian'er rushed over, supporting Chu Qianli and pleading, "Princess Consort, don't anger His Highness anymore!"
She looked at the cold, receding figure and then at the Princess Consort's tearful appearance, her heart aching terribly.
The Princess Consort had never been so dejected. What was happening today?
"Princess Consort, you, you don't cry!"
The Princess Consort never cried, but now, there was a mist in her eyes, making her look as if she was about to weep.
Qian'er almost cried along with her.
The Princess Consort today... was too different.
"Princess Consort..."
"I'm fine, let's go inside."
Chu Qianli rubbed her shoulder.
The dog man had truly sealed her internal energy! Rendering her completely unable to act.
She wondered if this gamble would pay off this time.
At this point, she had no better options.
She turned and walked away.
Although her internal energy was sealed by Feng Yexuan, it didn't affect her daily life.
"Princess Consort?" Qian'er was a bit stunned.
How could the Princess Consort, who had looked so sorrowful moments ago, suddenly become so calm?
"Princess Consort, you... you wait for me."
Chu Qianli returned to her room and immediately took out her phone.
With the remaining battery life, she quickly continued to study the images on the screen.
"Princess Consort..."
"Don't bother me, go do what you need to do." Chu Qianli was engrossed in her research.
This little girl, always chattering, was indeed noisy.
Qian'er could only stand aside, not daring to say anything more.
However, looking at the Princess Consort's demeanor, it was nothing like the heartbroken state she had been in earlier.
Could it be that her previous appearance... was an act?
Qian'er thought and thought but couldn't figure it out.
After an unknown amount of time, Qian'er couldn't help but speak, "Princess Consort, were you... doing that on purpose just now?"
It was too difficult for her to remain silent.
Chu Qianli couldn't figure out who the fleeting figure in the image was.
However, since Fulong found it familiar, it was likely someone he had seen in court.
Who could it be?
"What's wrong? Is it harder for you to shut up than to die?" She couldn't stay quiet for even a few minutes!
Qian'er pouted her lips and said again, "Princess Consort, were you really... acting just now?"
"I don't know," Chu Qianli replied casually.
Qian'er was displeased. She frowned, her expression looking old and serious.
"Princess Consort, I think if you were really acting, your performance just now wasn't quite up to par."
"Oh?" Chu Qianli raised an eyebrow and looked at her, "Do you have any suggestions, Your Excellency?"
Qian'er was a little shy, but the urge to speak was unstoppable.
She said, "Actually, His Highness likes to see the Princess Consort yielding. So, you should be even more fragile."
"Look at Chu Huaiyu, she pretends to be weak all day, and even Qing Ming is infatuated with her."
"Princess Consort, you should also pretend to be obedient to His Highness at all times, then he will..."
"Then he will become suspicious."
Chu Qianli glanced at her, then retracted her gaze, putting away her phone, and continued to fiddle with her medicine bottles.
"Do you think your Prince is such a foolish person? Do you think it's that easy to deceive him?"
"But Chu Huaiyu deceived him, didn't she? She feigned illness, and the Prince let her stay! She succeeded!"
Although Qian'er detested such people, if the Princess Consort used such tactics to retaliate, she wouldn't dislike it; instead, she would feel a sense of vindication.
If they hadn't pushed the Princess Consort to a dead end, she wouldn't have thought of retaliating!
The Princess Consort was forced into this, which was different from them actively harming others.
Chu Qianli, however, shook her head slightly, her gaze on the medicine bottles gradually turning cold and chilling.
"He is not that superficial. He didn't expose Chu Huaiyu simply because he didn't care, not because he was truly deceived."
Because he didn't care, Chu Huaiyu, as the daughter of "Long Qianyue," simply by virtue of this identity, could stay in Prince Xuan's mansion for as long as she wished, and Feng Yexuan would allow it.
But she was different.
If she acted like Chu Huaiyu, Feng Yexuan would definitely become suspicious.
Fighting wits and courage with Prince Xuan was not a simple matter.
One wrong step, and there would be no second chance.
However, she was truly anxious now.
Refusing to enter the palace to see the Emperor, she wondered what was happening with her grandfather.
