Tearing the Prince's Clothes after Withdrawing Marriage
Chapter 215: Increasingly Irresistible

Chapter 215: Chapter 215: Increasingly Irresistible

The Emperor was taken aback.

Watching Feng Yexuan’s lips curl into an extremely mocking smile, he was momentarily at a loss for how to respond.

Were his words true or false?

Was he this outraged merely because his dignity had been challenged?

Or was it truly for that woman?

For a while, even the Emperor couldn’t discern what Feng Yexuan’s real intentions were at that moment.

But Chu Qianli, that woman, was indeed very important.

This much, perhaps not even Feng Yexuan himself could properly discern.

If another woman was involved in today’s incident, would he be just as violently furious?

"Father, I ask you one last time, where is she now?"

"I value her investigative abilities and have assigned her to join the Iron Cavalry Group on their mission to Heifeng Cliff."

Feng Yexuan’s hand tightened into a fist, barely restraining himself from smashing the nearest chair to pieces!

"Father sends a vast number of people to scout at Heifeng Ridge for Medicine Men and Dead Soldiers every year, but no one has ever come back alive from Heifeng Ridge!"

He practically ground out the words between his teeth!

"Father, how is this any different from sending her to her death?"

"I... I have only heard that she possesses the ability to foresee the unforeseen."

Of course, he wouldn’t cherish Chu Qianli’s life.

Of course, it would be best if Chu Qianli could survive and bring him news of the Medicine Men and Dead Soldiers.

But if she were to fail and die at Heifeng Ridge, there would be nothing worth regretting.

A woman who seduced his Imperial Son, causing him to quarrel with his own father for her, would be better off dead.

However, Feng Yexuan’s gaze right now was a bit too cold, too chilling.

For a moment, even the Emperor felt a sliver of unease.

That look seemed to warn him, if anything were to happen to Chu Qianli, he would not let him go.

Hesitantly, the Emperor then said, "Xuanxuan, the Medicine Men and Dead Soldiers have been threatening the lives of our Imperial Family. Your Imperial Uncle also died at the hands of a Dead Soldier. I am just trying to eradicate this menace from the Imperial Family as soon as possible."

Feng Yexuan didn’t want to hear any more, with a bowed hand he said, "Your son bids farewell."

And he turned and left.

"They have been gone for over half a day, my son; there’s no need for you to send anyone after them, you won’t catch up..."

But Feng Yexuan had already strode away from the Emperor’s chamber.

That night, Feng Yexuan left the Imperial City to personally pursue Chu Qianli.

However, the woman had her wits about her, and the path she took might not be the one he had expected.

There’s more than one route from the Imperial City to the Heifeng Cliff.

When Qing Ming heard that the Prince had taken people to Heifeng Cliff, he thought about stopping them.

But the result of trying to intervene was that the Prince had taken Leng Ji instead, and he was left behind to keep house.

This was unprecedented; whenever the Prince traveled far, he was always the one to accompany him.

All because of Chu Qianli.

Qing Ming’s hatred for Chu Qianli grew even deeper.

He could only hope that the Prince would not find her and let that Enchantress die at Heifeng Cliff; that would be the perfect outcome.

This news quickly reached Prince Feng Qihe too.

"Father has sent Chu Qianli to lead the Iron Cavalry Group to Heifeng Cliff to gather intelligence on the Medicine Men and Dead Soldiers?"

Feng Qihe felt a tightness in his chest, his first instinct being to leave and personally bring Chu Qianli back.

But he soon calmed down.

"I’ve heard that due to the last battle at Phoenix Mountain, many say that it was Chu Qianli who led everyone to annihilate a significant part of Heihu Stronghold’s forces in the quickest and simplest manner."

The person continued the explanation, "They say that Chu Qianli had almost a prophetic ability, thoroughly grasping the bandits’ ambush formations throughout Heihu Stronghold."

"Everywhere she goes, not only does she know where the bandits are ambushed, but she can even guess their numbers roughly."

"Is this the legendary foresight?"

But Feng Qihe was a pragmatic man.

He had always been a sceptic about sorcery and the like.

"Whether it’s foresight or not, I am not sure, but if it’s not some special sorcery, it must be that Chu Qianli herself is an exceptional military strategist."

"What a joke!" Feng Qihe said, but for some reason, his heart leapt with excitement.

A woman raised in the inner chambers.

A girl who absolutely should not be a military strategist.

If she really was...

Images of Chu Qianli twisting her slender waist and trembling before them flooded Feng Qihe’s mind.

She was as seductive as a snake.

She was as wise and calm as a military strategist.

She was becoming irresistibly lovable!

"Prince, Prince Yexuan has personally left the Imperial City to pursue her. What are your orders?"

"Send men to block him." A strange gleam, one not even Feng Qihe understood, flickered in the depths of his eyes.

It bore a beast-like bloodthirstiness yet also a childlike excitement!

"Find a way to slow down the fourth prince, giving Chu Qianli the chance to reach Heifeng Cliff first."

He wanted to see if that woman truly was as formidable as they said.

If she died at Heifeng Cliff, he would be heartbroken and sad, he might even shed tears for her.

After all, she was the woman he wanted.

But if she really achieved something at Heifeng Cliff, then he would have to have her!

Obtaining her might even mean obtaining the whole world!

It was so exciting!

Chu Qianli, you must come back alive.

I, the Prince, will wait for you!

...

At this moment, Chu Qianli had already left the Imperial City and was on her way to Heifeng Ridge.

Feng Yexuan really did understand her well; she certainly didn’t take the routes one would normally think of.

Ordinarily, people would take the most hidden and quickest shortcuts, especially when on a mission and leading the Imperial Family’s Iron Cavalry Group.

But Chu Qianli, this time even Feng Yexuan might have guessed wrong.

The path she took was the most unusual yet also the most ordinary.

She traveled the imperial roads, the main roads, the most conspicuous ones.

Hiding in plain sight.

Leading the Iron Cavalry Group this time was Fu Long, who had initially questioned Chu Qianli’s decision.

Even though he eventually followed her orders, Fu Long still wore an iron-blue expression as they hurried on their way.

"Miss Chu, the master has only given us half a month’s time. If within this half a month we cannot return to the Imperial City with a report, I believe Miss Chu is very clear about the consequences."

They were hurrying, but this was already the third time Chu Qianli had asked for a rest since leaving the city.

Looking at Chu Qianli sitting under a tree, Fu Long’s face was an iron blue.

"You may rest if you wish, but we must wait until after midnight. Before midnight, we have to keep moving! Miss Chu, please do not delay the time!"

Chu Qianli leaned against the tree trunk and slowly stood up.

Fu Long could see clearly; she was holding her lower abdomen, her face completely pallid.

Beads of cold sweat covered her forehead, as if she was enduring great pain.

Fu Long’s expression changed, and he asked in surprise, "You... Miss Chu, what’s the matter? Are you hurt somewhere?"
