Tearing the Prince's Clothes after Withdrawing Marriage
Chapter 1289 - 1288: Gu

Chapter 1289: Chapter 1288: Gu

Chu Qianli didn’t speak for a long time.

Yuxing was waiting, waiting for her opinion on the matter.

Even though Yuxing herself didn’t know what exactly she was waiting for.

After all, the Prince has recovered, and now it seems there’s no problem at all.

But somehow, something just didn’t feel right.

Yet she couldn’t pinpoint what was amiss.

Not knowing how much time had passed and still not getting a response from Chu Qianli, Yuxing couldn’t help but say, "Princess, what do you... think?"

"Think about what?" Chu Qianli’s scattered thoughts were pulled back, as she turned her head and glanced at Yuxing.

A hint of disappointment crept into Yuxing’s heart: "I thought, Princess, you would have something to say."

"What can I say? I was just asking you about it, but after all, it’s someone else’s affair, and it’s not my place to comment."

"Someone else?" A desolate feeling fleetingly crossed Yuxing’s mind.

Chu Qianli smiled faintly, saying indifferently, "Of course, someone else. I have long had no relations with your family’s Prince."

"...Oh," Yuxing looked down, sighing silently.

Long had no relations.

Is that really the case?

Then why did she still inquire about the Prince’s affairs? Yuxing had thought that there might be a chance for the two.

Was it all her wishful thinking?

"Princess..."

"It’s already late, you should head back to rest. Everyone will be busy early tomorrow. If you have spare hands, please come over to help."

Chu Qianli waved her hand: "I’m going to sleep as well."

Yuxing was still disappointed, even though she knew she shouldn’t be.

When all’s said and done, it’s her own Prince who is more heartless, already having another girl by his side.

Chu Qianli is the kind of woman who would rather be shattered than remain whole as an inferior object; looking at it from any angle, it’s impossible for her to serve the Prince alongside another girl.

Perhaps, it really just wasn’t meant to be...

"Then, I’ll take my leave now, Princess. Rest early."

"Go ahead."

After Yuxing left, Chu Qianli didn’t rest but went to find Xi Jiu.

Xi Jiu had just changed and was ready to rest.

Busy all day long, she had only now found time to come back to bathe and change.

"Princess, what’s the matter?"

"Send Shiyi to gather some information for me."

"What information?" Xi Jiu hastily put on her clothes and came out from inside.

Chu Qianli stood not far from the door, apparently not intending to have a long conversation.

Xi Jiu stepped forward and lowered her voice: "Princess, please speak."

"Have his people immediately notify our brothers in Beiming to thoroughly investigate the attack incident Feng Yexuan encountered before he left the Beiming Imperial City."

"Prince Yexuan was attacked?" They hadn’t received any news of such an event.

"If it had been a big commotion, Shiyi’s people wouldn’t have been completely unaware," Xi Jiu didn’t understand.

"That’s why I find it strange. Moreover, the attack was originally meant for Hua Rong."

But whether it was Hua Rong or Feng Yexuan, poisoning Prince Yexuan was by no means a simple matter.

Why was there no disturbance within the Imperial City, not even a whisper of the incident?

Xi Jiu’s brow furrowed: "Princess, do you suspect there’s something fishy about that attack?"

"I can’t quite put my finger on it, but maybe it wasn’t unintentional."

She looked at Xi Jiu, her face devoid of any smile.

Even Xi Jiu could feel that at this moment, Chu Qianli was heavy-hearted.

"Is something off with Prince Yexuan?"

"When he fainted tonight, I took his pulse to check."

Chu Qianli took a deep breath before saying, "There’s poison in his system."
