Chapter 1123: Chapter 1122: In an Instant, Lost the Courage to Live On

Why would the Princess appear in Lingjiu Hall? Had she seen the National Advisor?

Wasn’t it said that the National Advisor, aside from the emperor, does not see other guests?

Even for someone of Prince Yu’s status, the National Advisor might mercilessly refuse a meeting.

Why then could a mere Princess freely come and go in Lingjiu Hall?

As the Princess was about to leave the back courtyard, Chu Qianli wanted to follow her, but suddenly, a cool breeze attacked from behind.

The light and tender breeze brushed past her ear without any hostility, yet Chu Qianli sensed danger from it.

Turning around, whoosh— a dagger landed in her hand, and in a flash, she moved a dozen steps forward.

Right behind where she originally stood, not far off, a figure clad in white stood against the wind.

A veil masked his face entirely.

But those eyes that were revealed were indeed clear and pure as water.

"National Advisor?" Chu Qianli immediately sheathed her dagger, bowed deeply, and said, "I, Chu Qianli of Longteng Country, come tonight to visit with no ill intentions."

Turning her head to look, the figure in the back courtyard had completely vanished.

The Princess had left, likely without having noticed she was seen by Chu Qianli.

Chu Qianli was still puzzled; what exactly was the relationship between her and the National Advisor, allowing her such freedom here?

The National Advisor just watched her quietly and did not speak.

Chu Qianli withdrew her gaze that was fixed on the courtyard, taming the minimal malevolent energy left in her completely.

"National Advisor, I truly have no ill intentions, I just wished to meet with you."

The National Advisor’s gaze still rested on her.

Quietly, as if he was scrutinizing her or perhaps taking a detailed assessment.

Chu Qianli felt somewhat nervous; facing such a sacred figure was immensely stressful.

Especially since he did not utter a single word, his face devoid of any expression, combined with a purity about him that seemed devoid of any impurities, like clean water.

This made her feel very filthy and disordered in his presence.

It seemed that everyone must feel this when facing the National Advisor.

Because the feeling he gave off was really too pure.

"National Advisor..." After waiting a long time without hearing him speak, Chu Qianli, with cold sweat pooling, could not help but speak again, "I have come tonight to ask a matter."

"Are you Chu Qianli?"

Time seemed to solidify at that instant.

His voice was so ethereal.

As if recorded with an effect, the sound seemed to wander in a vast emptiness.

And as if echoing through a deep valley.

One moment it felt extremely close, the next as if it was at the far end of the sky.

Chu Qianli couldn’t pinpoint where exactly the voice was coming from in that moment.

If she hadn’t seen him right before her, she might truly have been unable to locate the source of the sound.

How could this be?

Her soul, as well, felt as if it was being cleansed by his voice.

She felt so filthy.

Unexplainably filthy.

Her heart, filthy; her soul, filthy; even her body felt filthy.

So filthy, she felt her existence in this world was utterly worthless.

No... Something was amiss!

Her whole body felt wrong!

Her thoughts were even more astray!

Suddenly, Chu Qianli’s heart ached, her whole being seemed to be drained in an instant.

Her legs weakened, and with a thud, she fell to her knees.

Such pain!

Her whole body ached!

She didn’t want to continue living! She felt that living was pain!

Suddenly, she truly didn’t want to live anymore.

Her fingers trembled incessantly, her urge to draw the dagger and plunge it deep into her heart was overwhelming...
