Chapter 985: Chapter 984: Never Alone

Walking on the bustling street, Chu Qianli suddenly realized, she had come alone, and now too, she was leaving in solitude.

She was not originally from this era, and had thought her greatest goal was to return to the twenty-first century.

But now, she had formed countless ties with this time period.

If given the chance to return to the twenty-first century, would she truly be willing to go back?

Footsteps hurried behind her, suddenly closing in, "Ali!"

Chu Qianli turned around.

The man came running to her with an anxious face.

Under the sun, his handsome face was coated with a thin layer of sweat.

Staring at the blazing sun, his face appeared slightly reddened, showing his haste.

Chu Qianli looked at Fu Long rushing towards her, the chill she had felt earlier, vanished in an instant.

Her heart felt inexplicably warm.

She was not alone, for all this time, she actually had close friends by her side.

She was never alone.

...Wei Qiong truly came personally with the Imperial Family’s experts, and the General who came with her, Tan Xu, was also a master, his abilities not inferior to Wei Qiong’s.

The Vanguard Army had already reached the Imperial City and was presenting the state letter to the Emperor at this moment.

They were just waiting for the Emperor’s consent to immediately issue the arrest warrant.

The warrant they had heard of was the most severe kind; any resistance would be met with lethal force, no questions asked.

"So you’re saying, I really am a wanted criminal now?" Chu Qianli put on the hat given by Fu Long and sat on the second floor of the teahouse, watching the crowd come and go on the street below.

"The Imperial Decree is real," he said, a single sentence containing too much significance.

Chu Qianli remained silent, her hand holding the teacup, absentmindedly tracing the rim with her long fingers.

Her complexion was still calm, but this serenity made Fu Long’s heart ache.

"Maybe there was some misunderstanding at the beginning? I won’t comment on Empress Long Dingguo, but even if she really conspired to usurp the throne, it has nothing to do with you and Princess Xiyue."

If it was as the rumors said, that her Imperial grandmother, Long Dingguo, had plotted against Empress Teng Yuan and seized the throne from the mother of Prince Long Hongming, which was Ziyue’s biological mother,

then this incident happened when Princess Xiyue was very young and knew nothing about it.

As for Chu Qianli, it was even more impossible for her to be aware.

At that time, Chu Qianli did not even exist.

"Ali, all the sins are unrelated to you, don’t take them to heart."

"I know, right now, what mood do I have to consider my own feelings?"

She was no longer a young girl, and there was no need for Fu Long to worry about her being upset.

In the face of reality, the only thing to do was to work hard and find a way to resolve the current difficulties.

Being upset? It was the least meaningful thing.

It wasn’t her fault.

"How did this Imperial Decree end up in Wei Xian’s hands? Do you know?"

When Wei Xian was helping her, it was genuinely meant, there was no doubt about that.

But Wei Xian was a person of principles; she was not loyal to any individual, only to Longteng Country.

So now, supporting Long Ziyue with all her might and relentlessly pursuing, even to the point of hunting Chu Qianli, was also true.

"As for that, I do not yet know. If even Shiyi cannot find out, I’m afraid I am powerless too."

But as for the happenings in the palace, he could be one step ahead of Shiyi’s people, after all, the Imperial Palace was within his scope of activity.

However, there was one thing that Fu Long’s heart could not calm down about at this moment.

He looked at Chu Qianli, serious and earnest, "Ali, do you really believe that Ziyue has betrayed you?"
