Tearing the Prince's Clothes after Withdrawing Marriage
Chapter 289 - 288: That Man is Simply Crazy

Chapter 289: Chapter 288: That Man is Simply Crazy

Life and death uncertain...

Impossible, that man’s martial arts skills are unparalleled, how could anything happen to him?

But when he came last night, even she could see that he was clearly injured.

It took Chu Qianli a good while to force herself to calm down.

"What exactly... happened?"

But why were her hands still trembling slightly? Hadn’t she calmed down?

What did that man’s affairs have to do with her?

Why was it not just her hands that were trembling, but even her heart was tensing up, feeling indescribably uncomfortable?

"I have already instructed Fu Ning to tell you that Prince Yexuan and the Emperor have likely come to an agreement, with Prince Yexuan eliminating the Medicine Man Corps, and the Emperor leaving you alone for the time being."

For the time being!

The Emperor’s mind is unpredictable, who knows whether he will keep his word after Prince Yexuan has wiped out the Medicine Man Corps?

Seeing that Chu Qianli had finished dressing, Fu Long turned around and looked at her.

"Yesterday, Prince Yexuan first went to Wucheng and targeted a stronghold of a medicine man there. Last night, Prince Yexuan was supposed to join the team to Jicheng, but for some reason, he went alone."

Chu Qianli’s heart gave a violent jolt.

Fu Long didn’t know why, but she knew.

That bastard... came back to see her!

Idiot! He knew he was supposed to go with the team to Jicheng, but he came back to see her first on the way there.

Even the fastest horse would take more than three hours from here to Jicheng.

Had he planned to go without sleep or rest for this round trip?

Fool!

Fu Long had no idea what she was thinking and continued, "The Emperor also just received the news and is frantic to learn that Prince Yexuan has fallen off a cliff!"

It was apparent that although the Emperor wanted Prince Yexuan as a tool to eliminate the medicine men, he truly valued this son!

Of course, it might also be because this son was indeed very useful!

In any case, the Emperor must be panicking right now.

"I came to tell you the news as soon as I heard it."

Fu Long looked at Chu Qianli and realized her face was ashen.

"Ali, don’t panic, this matter..."

Chu Qianli was about to say that she wasn’t panicking, that it was impossible for her to be agitated because of that man.

But before she could speak, there was a rush of footsteps outside.

Han Zhan arrived, "Lili, Eunuch Qing has come. Hurry and tidy yourself up to receive the Imperial Decree!"

Fu Long was somewhat astonished.

Wasn’t Han Zhan rumored to have a very bad relationship with her?

Lili?

This address seemed a bit intimate.

Chu Qianli didn’t notice these details. She glanced at Fu Long.

Fu Long had already held his breath and kept silent, fearing that Han Zhan would discover his presence.

Chu Qianli said to the outside, "All right, I’ll come out as soon as I’m dressed, Han Zhan, please entertain them for me."

Han Zhan immediately left.

Once he was far enough away, Fu Long finally took a deep breath.

He had almost suffocated.

"I will return to the palace first to see what’s happening. The Emperor will probably need me. If there is anything, have Fu Ning inform me."

"Okay."

Fu Long left.

Chu Qianli didn’t even have time to freshen up properly before she hurried out the door.

Eunuch Qing’s arrival must have something to do with Feng Yexuan.

She wasn’t anxious, really, she wasn’t... it’s just that she walked too fast and almost tripped over herself.

She definitely wasn’t anxious...

"Eunuch Qing, what’s the matter?"

Eunuch Qing indeed looked deeply worried and anxious.

Han Zhan’s expression darkened as he quickly approached Chu Qianli, "Make sure your clothes are on properly!"

Chu Qianli then realized she hadn’t fastened her buttons correctly.

He hastily turned around to fasten it.

Eunuch Qing, too anxious to care for much else, said curtly, "The Emperor has a secret order; Miss Chu Qianli is to hurry to Jicheng with Fu Long to find Prince Feng Yexuan!"

... Chu Qianli was ready to set off immediately.

Han Zhan stopped her, "I’ll go with you."

Although he wasn’t sure what had happened, it seemed incredibly serious, even Eunuch Qing’s complexion was unsightly.

It was clear he was especially anxious.

Something had happened to Prince Yexuan, but what exactly?

"Han Zhan, Qin Liuyan is definitely not the real poisoner; I need you to stay and protect my grandfather."

Although all seemed calm now, whoever had administered the poison wouldn’t likely strike so soon.

However, to be safe, they couldn’t afford to let their guard down.

"But you..."

"Young Master Han, this is a matter of the Imperial Family; I advise you not to get involved!"

Eunuch Qing, pulling Chu Qianli, was quite frantic, "Miss Chu, let us hurry; follow this old servant to the palace right away, Leader Fu should already be preparing."

"Alright." There was no time to waste; Chu Qianli couldn’t bear to delay even for a moment.

Fu Long returned, so out of breath from rushing that it was indeed very worrying.

Fortunately, his subordinates were competent; they managed not to let the Emperor notice his dereliction of duty.

After joining up with Chu Qianli, a troop immediately set out from the Imperial City.

They traveled at top speed toward Jicheng.

It was on Dielan Mountain, just before reaching Jicheng, where the incident with Feng Yexuan occurred.

Now the area around Dielan Mountain was swarming with military troops.

But the terrain of Dielan Mountain was treacherous, a continuous range of peaks, and it was uncertain what lay beneath them.

"Miss Chu?" Leng Ji was also leading troops in search around the area.

"Weren’t you with the Prince last night?" Chu Qianli asked urgently.

Leng Ji almost cried, "I followed him; he came back to see you, and I was on his trail the entire way!"

The Prince had come back to see Chu Qianli?

Fu Long was shocked!

Such a thing had happened last night!

"Why did the Prince come back to see you?" Fu Long couldn’t help but ask.

After dealing with the Medicine Man stronghold in Wucheng, Prince Yexuan should have joined the troops and proceeded directly to Jicheng.

The journey from Wucheng to Jicheng was no more than five and a half hours by horse, with time in between to rest.

But if one were to return to the Imperial City from Wucheng before heading to Jicheng, it would take over eight hours.

And thus, the time for rest during the journey would be completely lost.

No wonder Prince Yexuan traveled alone! It turned out, he had returned to the Imperial City.

"He..." Chu Qianli’s face flushed, who knew why that man wanted to find her.

There wasn’t anything particularly important he had done when he found her, just a kiss and a hug, without even speaking the crucial words.

It really was a frivolous act.

Seeing her complexion, Fu Long did not press further.

Though he found it unbelievable, it seemed just to be the case.

How much did Prince Yexuan like this girl?

Did he really travel sleeplessly, just for the sake of seeing her once?

It was madness!

He looked at Leng Ji, "Then you..."

"The Prince’s pace was too fast, I couldn’t keep up; by the time I caught up, he was already cornered by the Medicine Man Corps at the edge of the cliff."

Tension gripped Leng Ji’s heart, his face twisted in agony.

"I was powerless, watching as the Prince was forced off the cliff with my own eyes. There were too many Medicine Men, I could only first seek out the main force..."

Leng Ji knew he deserved to die!

But if he had pursued then, he wouldn’t just fail to rescue the Prince, he also wouldn’t be able to send out the message.

Now, leading the main force to look for him was the best approach.

He could only pray that the Prince was alright and that finding him with the main force would offer the only chance of hope.

Suddenly, Leng Ji, with a plop, knelt in front of Chu Qianli.

"Miss, we are out of options; you are a living Immortal, you must have a way, please save the Prince!"
