Chapter 159: Chapter 159 The Crime of Deceiving the Emperor

Prince Yexuan is seriously injured!

No one knew how the news leaked out.

Anyway, the very next morning after Feng Yexuan was brought back to the Prince Residence, the news of his injury and uncertain fate had spread throughout the entire Imperial City!

Chu Qianli had been by Feng Yexuan’s side the whole time, taking care of him.

It wasn’t until the third night, when she saw that the poison in his body was completely under control, that she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Luckily, when she cried out, Feng Yexuan hesitated, and at the last moment, he managed to dodge in time.

Otherwise, with the dead soldiers’ years of training, taking advantage of his vulnerability to strike his heart with a knife would have been all too easy.

He was finally rescued from the brink of death.

However, the poison was so fierce, and the knife had penetrated deep, that it would still take some time for him to awaken!

That night was the first time Chu Qianli left his side after Feng Yexuan had been injured.

Returning to her own room, she had just bathed and changed clothes but hadn’t yet left when Qianqian rushed in, flustered: "Princess, someone... someone from the palace is here, they specifically asked to see you!"

...Chu Qianli was taken into the palace.

What she didn’t expect was that there were quite a few people in the palace.

People from the Duke Residence and the Marquess Residence.

The Duchess, Grand Tutor Chu Hongtao, and the fifth young lady Chu Huaiyu.

Strangest of all, the third lady Qin Liuyan was also present.

At that moment, Qin Liuyan was kneeling before the hall, alongside an old maid.

As for the people from the Marquess Residence, there was not only Grandfather Long Ye, the Marquess of Dingbei, but also Chu Qianli’s Uncle Long Feifan.

And, seated above in the hall, besides the Emperor, there was also the Empress Dowager.

Next to the Empress Dowager, there she was, Yu Linglong.

Feng Yexuan was right, even if Yu Linglong did wrong, the Empress Dowager had always been exceedingly affectionate toward her.

Unless what Yu Linglong did was something the Empress Dowager could not forgive.

Otherwise, a minor mistake here and there, and within a couple of days, the Empress Dowager would forgive her again.

Looking at her now standing by the Empress Dowager’s side, one could tell that she was back in the Empress Dowager’s good graces.

At this moment, everyone was looking at Chu Qianli who had just entered, with differing expressions on their faces.

Grandfather Long Ye, who I hadn’t seen in just a few days, looked as if he had aged several years in that short time!

He seemed dispirited and hesitant to speak, pausing as he looked at Chu Qianli.

In the end, he didn’t say a word.

Alarm bells went off in Chu Qianli’s mind, and an ominous premonition arose!

"How dare you, Chu Qianli, not kneel and accept your crime?" Eunuch Qing, standing beside the Emperor, shrieked.

Chu Qianli lifted her head, meeting the Emperor’s gaze.

Far from kneeling, she stood even straighter: "May I ask the Emperor, what crime has Your Concubine committed?"

Your Concubine!

This was clearly different from the last time when she referred to herself as "Your Servant"!

Could it be that she now acknowledges herself as the wife of Prince Yexuan again?

Everyone present had their own thoughts.

Long Ye unconsciously took a half step forward, but in the end, he retracted his step.

He felt indescribably uncomfortable.

Chu Qianli glanced at him, not understanding why her grandfather looked so sorrowful.

But this issue was presumably related to her.

None of these people from the Imperial Family favored her.

What new method had they concocted to deal with her this time?

She wasn’t afraid of anyone, but she was worried about causing trouble for her grandfather and her ailing grandfather at home!

"Emperor, what crime has Your Concubine really committed?"

Such a straightforward manner of speaking, in front of the Emperor, is a rarity among women.

Even the Emperor himself looked at her with a somewhat new appraisal.

Yet, he remained silent still.

Eunuch Qing huffed and angrily said: "Impudence, Chu Qianli, you have committed the crime of deceiving the monarch! Kneel and accept your crime!"
