Chapter 1144: Chapter 1143: Helping the Emperor, But Are We Actually Helping Him?

"Shiyi, immediately order someone to investigate the Fortress Generals of the cities around Xuri City. See if there’s a common figure in their relationships."

"And also, if I’m not guessing wrong, in the next couple of days, it’s highly likely that there will be an ’accident’ involving the Commanding King."

"Accident?" Chu Qianli’s words left Shiyi and Fu Ning in astonishment.

Urgently, Fu Ning said, "Miss, how could you..."

"It’s merely a conjecture, do you really think I would actively create an accident? At the moment, I don’t possess such ability, and besides, an accident befalling the Commanding King doesn’t benefit me at all."

Chu Qianli pondered for a moment before continuing, "In any case, before we receive news from the Commanding King, something unusual will definitely happen. I’m just afraid that what I’m worried about might really occur."

"I understand." Although Shiyi’s duty was only to gather intelligence,

with the more information he knew, he could more easily piece things together than the average person.

"Miss, are you worried that the Fortress Generals of the cities surrounding Xuri City are connected to the Commanding King?"

Fu Ning, prompted by this, also came to a realization.

"With Xuri City undergoing changes and the Southern Ridge Clan being so important, the Emperor will undoubtedly send a formidable person to quell the troubles. If a certain prince could personally take charge, it would be perfect."

"Now that the Static King is bedridden with illness, if the Commanding King were to meet with an ’accident’ and suffer an injury at this time, then the only person left capable of setting out would be Yexuan."

Fu Ning’s eyes widened with shock as he exclaimed, "The Static King gravely wounded, Yexuan on a distant campaign... They want to completely cut off the Emperor’s left and right arms in the Imperial City, they... they want to rebel!"

"Luckily, the food hasn’t been eaten in vain," Chu Qianli hummed.

Fu Ning looked at her and muttered discontentedly, "Miss, although I’m not as clever as you, occasionally I can have some wisdom too, can’t I?"

"If you could change that infatuated temperament of yours, perhaps it would be even better."

However, Chu Qianli didn’t delve further into the topic.

She looked at Shiyi, who quickly said, "I understand. I’ll immediately dispatch someone to investigate, but..."

He looked at Chu Qianli, hesitating, as if he had more to say but was holding back.

"Speak your mind," Chu Qianli said as she picked up her cup again.

Talking so much made her thirsty.

"Boss, that... why do you care so much about the affairs of the Nanming Imperial Family?"

This was a question Chu Qianli had also pondered.

Why did she care?

Even she couldn’t be certain.

"Perhaps it is... seeing injustice on the road and drawing my sword to assist," she said with a smile.

This answer, of course, Shiyi did not believe.

Everyone was merely differing in political opinions. In the struggle for political power, there were in fact no clear-cut good or bad people.

Unless, someone was harming the people, that would truly be bad.

But in the power struggle between the Commanding King and the Emperor, they couldn’t really tell, at this point, who was the one that truly loved the country and its people.

After all, they didn’t know them personally.

"Boss, helping the Emperor, that is, helping the Static King, does this count as helping... Prince Yexuan?"

Chu Qianli’s gaze darkened.

Shiyi realized he had misspoken and hurriedly said, "I’m just talking nonsense, it’s just a joke... just a joke, haha!"

It seems that the relationship between the miss and Prince Yexuan is still under a layer of ice.

Even a mere mention could cause anger!

"Boss, I’ll head out right away to gather news."

To avoid further misfortune, Shiyi bid farewell and was eager to flee.

Behind him, the indifferent voice of Chu Qianli stopped his steps, "The Static King is Feng Yexuan’s martial uncle, then he must have a master too. Since you’re so idle, go find out who Feng Yexuan’s master is."
