Chapter 20: Chapter 20 The Breath of Death Approaches

Chu Qianli had not been drowned; she was already awake the moment she fell into the lake.

But her body was still very tired, so she didn’t get up immediately but rested at the bottom of the lake instead.

In the twenty-first century, one of the special trainings in Wolf Domain was to hold one’s breath.

Those who succeeded in the training could hold their breath underwater for at least five minutes.

Chu Qianli was the elite of Wolf Domain, and her personal record was to breathe in a trance for up to twenty minutes.

The two guards saw no movement on the surface of the lake and thought Chu Qianli had died.

In fact, she was just resting.

At this moment, Chu Qianli sat under the shade of a tree, catching her breath.

She had just dealt with two wild wolves.

The big red wedding dress she wore was now tattered beyond recognition.

In one night, she had experienced more than most people do in their entire lives.

From being framed and nearly burned to death, being imprisoned, poisoned, and even having her innocence destroyed by that man.

In the end, she was even thrown into this place where she could lose her life at any moment.

If her life hadn’t been tough, could she have survived until now?

Chu Qianli closed her eyes and took deep breaths.

In her hand, the knife she had bought with the last of her money still had blood dripping from its tip.

And the bloodthirsty killing intent seemed to be slowly approaching from all around.

She looked up at the sky, dusk would soon arrive, followed by the most dangerous deep night.

While there was still daylight, her life could be spared.

But after the sun set, how would she survive the night?

After taking another deep breath, Chu Qianli, propping up her weary body, slowly stood up.

She had to escape from this Hunting Ground.

Otherwise, she feared she might not survive the night.

But the place was overgrown with weeds and vast shadows of trees; where was the exit?

Chu Qianli raised her hand to wipe the fine sweat from her forehead.

Continuing to turn her back to the direction of the setting sun, she walked eastward.

The big red wedding dress trailed on the ground, creating a scene that was both desolate and stunningly beautiful.

Just as she hadn’t gone far, a dark figure flitted through the trees like the wind.

That gaze that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, still carried a bloodthirsty ferocity...

...

Feng Yexuan did not let Yu Linglong take his pulse.

In fact, the Aphrodisiac he had been exposed to at dawn had been completely neutralized.

Three cups of tea time had passed, but Consort Jin seemed to have no intention of leaving.

Feng Yexuan’s handsome brows couldn’t help but furrow slightly.

"Mother Consort, how long have you been away from the palace?"

His words implied that it was time for Consort Jin to return to the palace.

Upon hearing this, Consort Jin felt a wave of grievance.

Although she was not his birth mother, the child had never been very close to her since he was small.

But a foster mother is also a mother, and he at least called her "Mother Consort."

How could she be sent back to the palace now that he had just gotten married?

"Tomorrow the new Princess will accompany you to the palace to pay respects to your father the emperor, so I will stay until tomorrow and return to the palace with you two," she said.

However, mentioning the Princess caused Consort Jin’s expression to involuntarily change slightly.

Tomorrow, how could that wretched woman have the chance to enter the palace to be presented?

By tonight, she would probably receive news of her death in the Hunting Ground.

Thinking of this, Consort Jin immediately looked at Yu Linglong and changed the subject:

"I heard that the Empress Dowager intends to go to Mount Wansui to pray for blessings. Miss Yu, in your opinion, is her current state of health suitable for travel?"

Sure enough, when the Empress Dowager was mentioned, Feng Yexuan’s expression softened considerably.

"Miss Yu, how has the Empress Dowager been in these past few days?" he inquired.

When Yu Linglong met his gaze, her heart fluttered and she immediately lowered her eyes to avoid his.

She simply lacked the courage to look him squarely in the eyes; the Prince’s gaze was truly soul-snatching.

One could accidentally lose their soul to him.

Under his gaze, Yu Linglong’s cheeks turned delicately red and her voice was both light and gentle:

"The Empress Dowager is in good health; there likely won’t be any problems with her traveling."

"This Prince is still not at ease. Miss Yu, if you are not otherwise occupied these coming days, please accompany the Empress Dowager on the trip."

"What?" Yu Linglong was taken aback.

Now that Chu Qianli had just married into the Prince Residence, Yu Linglong wanted to stay at the Prince Residence every day, always on guard.

How could she travel far away at such a time?

Consort Jin hadn’t expected Feng Yexuan to make such a request.

She immediately attempted to interject, "Xuanxuan, Miss Yu has been overworked lately because of the Empress Dowager’s illness, and she probably can’t take anymore."

"Perhaps during this time..."

"Loyal Brother!" Consort Jin hadn’t finished speaking when Feng Jinrui’s tall figure burst into the hall from outside.

"Loyal Brother, why did you send that Enchantress to the Hunting Ground? She may have erred, but her wrongdoings do not warrant death!"
