Chapter 1042: Chapter 1041: Are You Threatening Me?

Chu Minghao had just left Chu Feiyan’s courtyard when he received shocking news.

"The Heaven and Earth Lock has appeared in the Imperial City?"

The Heaven and Earth Lock, sought after by royal families of various nations for many years, had actually appeared in their Nanming Imperial City!

It was simply unbelievable!

"Where did this news come from?"

Gui Tong immediately said, "It was sent by Prince Longteng, but, this news might have already reached many people’s ears."

Many people, that meaning couldn’t be more clear.

Imperial families and major powers of various nations were all searching for the Heaven and Earth Lock.

Prince Xuan and Prince He must also be going.

Chu Minghao suddenly turned and left.

Gui Tong only hesitated for a moment before immediately following his steps.

The night was cool and quiet.

Chu Qianli was still reading.

This woman, rumored to be enchanting and unrestrained, capricious like water.

Before getting to know her, Chu Minghao thought she must be a woman who wore heavy makeup daily, charming and even slightly evil.

But, these past few days she had been residing in Yuhua Palace, facing each day with a bare face, even her choice of clothing was the simplest style.

He wouldn’t mistreat her, having long commanded people to send the most luxurious clothes, and even the rouge and face powders a young lady would use were fully provided.

Yet she had not touched any of them.

Instead, she had people send some of the simplest plain clothes.

As for her behavior, according to Gui Tong, when she was alone, most of the time, she was reading.

Either military texts or classical medical books from who knows where.

All in all, very different from what Chu Minghao had imagined.

"Tomorrow morning, this Princely Heir will personally enter the palace to see the Beiming Emperor and bid him farewell."

"You are leaving?" Chu Qianli seemed somewhat surprised.

But she quickly calmed down.

"Now that Commandery Princess Feiyan has awakened, can I also leave then? You are returning to Nanming, and I should return to Longteng..."

"I’m sorry, Miss Chu, this Princely Heir came to see you to discuss the idea of you visiting my Nanming."

Chu Qianli’s expression immediately darkened, "Princely Heir, if I remember correctly, I have never agreed to go to Nanming."

"This Princely Heir’s intentions are sincere, can’t Miss Chu consider it thoroughly? Besides, since Miss Chu mentioned wanting to cooperate with this Princely Heir, a trip to Nanming is the natural course of action, isn’t it?"

Before Chu Qianli could speak, Chu Minghao spoke again, "Moreover, although Miss Chu is now granted the title of Prince Longteng, according to the information sent back by my people, the Empress of Longteng originally issued an order to arrest Miss Chu, threatening to kill her if she did not comply."

"Leaving aside when the Empress of Longteng changed her mind, just the fact that the Empress is fickle, with Miss Chu bearing a title of Prince Longteng with no real power, it’s not certain that she could live peacefully upon returning."

He took two steps forward, closed the distance, lifted his lips into a smile, and said, "What do you think, Miss Chu?"

"Taking me to Nanming, what does it mean for you, Princely Heir?"

Chu Qianli didn’t answer his question, instead raising her own doubt.

Chu Minghao smiled lightly, "There’s no need for Miss to guess at my intentions, but this Princely Heir simply must take Miss Chu to Nanming, and if Miss herself also has the inclination, that would be best."

"If Miss insists on resisting, the journey might not be filled with good days."

"Are you threatening me?" Chu Qianli narrowed her eyes, her gaze ice-cold.

Chu Minghao’s expression remained unchanged, still smiling, "Miss misunderstood, I’m merely discussing with you. This Princely Heir dislikes forcing others the most."
