Chu Qianli knew she shouldn't reveal too much.
Too many words lead to mistakes.
As long as she cared, Consort Yu would notice.
She couldn't help herself, after all, her mother's killer might be right before her.
She secretly adjusted her breathing. When she looked at Murong Yu again, the murderous intent in her eyes was hidden.
Chu Qianli looked at Murong Yu and smiled, "I heard that over a decade ago, a princess of Longteng Kingdom mysteriously disappeared in Beiming Kingdom. Most people speculated she had been killed."
"And you have been mourning her, holding her token. I am very curious, did you really kill her... your junior sister back then?"
"What else do you know?" Murong Yu clenched her palm again.
However, Chu Qianli now looked so relaxed.
It was as if she were merely discussing unrelated people and events.
There seemed to be no strong emotions.
But this brat was too good at hiding, too smart. Murong Yu couldn't figure out what she was thinking.
"I know a lot more."
However, at this moment, there were still no signs of anger on Chu Qianli's face.
She even smiled playfully, "I also know that besides Long Xiyue, you have a junior brother named Nan Chu."
In fact, she was very nervous and uneasy.
But she dared not show any of it.
On her small, palm-sized face, there was still a calm smile, "Where is Nan Chu now?"
Unexpectedly, Murong Yu's face changed instantly.
From anger and confusion, to a sense of loss that even Chu Qianli found surprising.
"Where Nan Chu is, I also want to know."
Murong Yu turned her face away. The loss in her eyes flashed and disappeared.
When she looked back, her face had returned to its cold and ruthless expression.
"You'd better not interfere with matters of Longteng Kingdom. Those people are not someone you can handle."
"Cure the Prince of Ding, gain the fame and fortune you desire, and then obediently return to me. Otherwise, I will personally kill you."
Chu Qianli breathed a sigh of relief.
So she thought Chu Qianli went to Longteng Kingdom to treat the Prince of Ding for fame and fortune.
This was good, it saved her from further speculation.
The only loophole now was Long Qianyue's appearance.
If one day, by chance, Murong Yu discovered that Long Qianyue and Long Xiyue were the same person, then this matter would become troublesome.
Chu Qianli decided not to touch this loophole for now.
After all, she was not Murong Yu's match yet.
Just as she was about to leave, she saw Murong Yu walk to the railing, her back looking desolate and lonely.
"Long Xiyue was not killed by me. Don't investigate this matter anymore, put away your curiosity!"
She leaped lightly and instantly disappeared into the vast night.
Not killed by her...
Chu Qianli chased after her. Below Huai Shan Temple, it was quiet.
Consort Yu's figure was nowhere to be seen.
The night was already very deep.
She came down from Huai Shan Temple and headed back towards Prince Xuan's mansion.
Along the way, she was still uneasy.
Mother, was she really not killed by Murong Yu?
But she must know a lot.
However, she was now responsible for the safety of too many people, and she dared not investigate openly for the time being.
This matter could only be temporarily handed over to her uncle.
She had to return to Longteng Kingdom first to see the current situation there with her own eyes.
Also, she needed to find a way to earn more money to buy the equipment from her senior brother and complete the surgery for Wuya.
... That night finally passed in peace.
The next morning, the convoy set off.
Long Ziyue led the Longteng Kingdom convoy and met Chu Qianli at the city gate.
"Miss, the carriage you made for the Fifth Prince looks really special."
Dan Qing returned excitedly after studying it for a while, "Miss, what are these wheels made of? Why are they so stable?"
"A kind of... plastic."
"Tree material?" What was that?
"I can't explain it. I'll show you when I have the chance." However, this was just a polite remark.
All four wheels were bought on Taobao. How could she know how to make them?
Looking up, Long Ziyue sat on her horse, constantly looking back towards the city.
Her face was filled with reluctance.
Chu Qianli rode her horse over and smiled at her, "What? Missing someone?"
Long Ziyue then withdrew her gaze, and didn't rush to deny it.
It seemed her mood was indeed heavy.
How could Dan Qing not know her郡主's feelings? But some things couldn't continue.
After all, there was no possibility.
Just as Dan Qing was about to persuade her, a team of people rapidly approached from the city.
The one leading...
Long Ziyue's eyes lit up, and she immediately rode forward.
"Brother Fu, you're here?" Even though she knew there would be no outcome, Long Ziyue was already content to see him one last time before leaving.
Fu Long cupped his fists and smiled at her, saying, "Greetings, Princess!"
"No need to be formal!" They had gone through life and death together, and his blood flowed in her. To Long Ziyue, he was already... one of her own.
Chu Qianli also rode over, looking a bit surprised, "Fu Long, why are you here? To see us off?"
"No," Fu Long smiled, "The Empress Dowager is worried about the Fifth Prince's safety and requested the Emperor to send more guards. The Emperor has ordered me to escort the Prince to Longteng Kingdom."
"What?" Long Ziyue was shocked, almost falling off her horse.
He was escorting Feng Wuya to Longteng Kingdom, so wouldn't they... wouldn't they not have to separate?
At least, for a long time to come, they could be together!
"Ziyue, wipe your drool." Chu Qianli almost burst out laughing.
However, she was also very happy to have Fu Long accompany them.
Long Ziyue blushed and quickly wiped her lips.
They were dry! Where was the drool?
She glared at Chu Qianli.
Because she was too happy, she didn't want to argue with her!
The convoy finally set off. Along the way, the two chattering girls, Long Ziyue and Chu Qianli, were almost never quiet.
Fu Long walked beside Feng Wuya's carriage, looking at the figure ahead, and couldn't help but smile slightly.
His smile followed the smile on her lips.
When Feng Wuya lifted the curtain, he happened to see this scene.
Looking ahead, he saw the girl with a sunny smile on her face in the sunlight.
Feng Wuya's heart trembled slightly. Looking at the smile on Fu Long's lips, he felt a hint of helplessness.
The person involved was probably still oblivious.
... At noon, the convoy stopped somewhere along the road to rest.
Chu Qianli brought a steaming self-heating rice to find Feng Wuya. Seeing Fu Long still guarding Wuya's carriage, she said, "Just now I saw Ziyue enter the dense forest alone. I don't know if something will happen. Fu Long, why don't you go and take a look?"
