Tearing the Prince's Clothes after Withdrawing Marriage
Chapter 1057 - 1056: Have You Really Given Up?

Chapter 1057: Chapter 1056: Have You Really Given Up?

Prince Feng Qihe had indeed begun to make his move.

In fact, Chu Minghao had considered this possibility before.

It seemed that some rumors were actually true.

The illness of the Beiming Emperor must have been very severe.

The court of Beiming was unstable.

"Heh, thanks to Prince Feng Qihe for his fondness for Sister Feiyan. I will surely convey this sentiment to her, but..."

Chu Minghao changed his tone and smiled, "Marriage is traditionally arranged by the matchmaker’s words, and the command of parents. If Father agrees, Sister Feiyan will naturally agree as well."

The implication was clear; even Chu Feiyan’s own words did not count.

The Prince’s agreement was necessary.

Feng Qihe originally had little interest in Chu Feiyan, and upon hearing this, he immediately understood Chu Minghao’s intentions.

"Fine, I will personally visit Nanming soon to ask for her hand from the Prince."

It seemed that Chu Minghao did not have much affection for his sister.

Chu Minghao smiled again, "Today, meeting with Prince Xuan, I heard that Prince Xuan also intends to see my father..."

He paused, then added, "Of course, whether it’s Prince Xuan or Prince Feng Qihe, I am happy to see it happen. The final outcome, however, still depends on the performances of the two princes."

Feng Qihe smiled, "Then, Crown Prince... we shall wait and see."

"I heard that the Crown Prince is returning tomorrow. I should also return early to prepare."

Thus, he did not even meet with Chu Feiyan.

This so-called fondness didn’t even extend to making a pretense of it.

Everyone understood, and Chu Minghao did not want to waste time on a woman he deemed boring.

He smiled, "Alright then... see you tomorrow."

"Farewell."

The moment Feng Qihe left Yuhua Palace, the smile on his lips disappeared instantly.

He looked back, his mind still somewhat unsettled.

"Prince, it’s time to return," Jinghong reminded.

When coming here, the Empress had repeatedly instructed him to ensure Prince Feng Qihe did not create trouble at Yuhua Palace.

She had sternly reminded him that he should in no way discuss anything about Chu Qianli with Chu Minghao and not even mention her.

Prince Feng Qihe had adhered to this.

But now, as he looked back at Yuhua Palace, he was reluctant to leave.

Being Prince Feng Qihe’s personal guard, Jinghong knew very well what the Prince was thinking.

But now was not the time to act rashly.

"Prince, the Empress is still waiting," Jinghong reminded again.

Feng Qihe withdrew his gaze and silently leapt onto his horse and rode away.

Jinghong breathed a sigh of relief, quickly mounted his horse, and followed.

Fortunately, no trouble had ensued.

On the other hand, while Prince Feng Qihe was restless, why was there no movement from Prince Xuan?

Could it be that he had really given up on Chu Qianli?

...

As for Prince Xuan, currently, those outside were completely unaware of the situation.

Not to mention the people outside the Prince Residence, even his own people inside were unaware of what Prince Xuan was actually thinking.

Chu Qianli was nominally "invited" to stay as a guest at Yuhua Palace, but everyone knew she was confined there by Princely Heir Hao.

Princely Heir Hao, not even giving face to the Emperor, had always refused to release her.

And the Emperor, to avoid offending Nanming, had not intervened.

Thus, Chu Qianli, locked in Yuhua Palace, was left to fend for herself, noticed by no one.

No one even knew how she was faring at that time.

That night, an unexpected visitor arrived at Prince Xuan’s residence...
