Chapter 238: Chapter 238: Haven’t Seen Her for Seven Days

At midnight that day, Leng Ji hurried back from outside.

With the object Chu Qianli had placed on the windowsill for him to take out, he knocked on Chu Qianli’s door.

"Miss Li, Fu Long has returned the item to you."

In truth, he didn’t understand what it was, but Fu Long seemed to know how to use it.

A black box... no, it wasn’t exactly a box, just a solid object.

A black object, with nothing inside it.

Since it was Miss Li’s belonging, he didn’t dare to study it closely.

He handed the object to Fu Long, took it back from him later, and then returned.

This was the only task Chu Qianli gave him, yet Leng Ji still didn’t understand it.

What Fu Long returned was still that black object, no more, no less. What did that mean?

Could it be that Fu Long refused the gift from Miss Li...?

If this could be considered a gift at all.

"Just leave it on the windowsill."

Chu Qianli’s voice came from inside the room, sounding still very frail.

After speaking, she coughed twice.

Leng Ji placed the object on the windowsill and moved away some distance, but could not help turning back to look.

"Miss Li, do you really not need a doctor to take a look?"

"Did your Prince say that he allows a doctor to see me?" Although Chu Qianli’s voice was weak, one could detect a hint of sarcastic amusement.

She can still be sarcastic, so she must be alright?

Relieved, Leng Ji spoke softly, "Then, Miss, I will come to see you again when I return from outside the city."

As he left, he was still concerned, "Miss, do take good care of yourself, and don’t stay angry with the Prince."

Chu Qianli didn’t respond to him.

Leng Ji had no choice but to turn and leave.

In the room, it was pitch-dark; if not for the sliver of moonlight creeping in from outside, one might not even see their own hands in this room.

Only after Leng Ji had left did the figure lying on the bed begin to slowly move.

She got down from the bed, and the moment she touched the ground, her slender body swayed slightly, barely able to stay upright.

Weak and powerless, she had to support herself using the table nearby to slowly move to the windowsill.

It was her cell phone.

On the way back from Heifeng Ridge, she had let Fu Long see her secret.

This cell phone, she had also explained to Fu Long how to record with it.

Still, she didn’t know if Fu Long had learned to use it.

Getting back to the bed, Chu Qianli slowly sat down and turned on the cell phone.

She opened the camera and, unexpectedly, really saw a recording made by Fu Long.

Clearly not very skilled, the frame jostled here and there, but the voice was very clear:

"The Duke has returned to the Prince Residence, Yexuan’s men are guarding, the Emperor has not been angered."

A very brief clip, and even more succinct were the words that almost flickered by.

Yet, she had all the information she needed.

Yexuan actually sent her grandfather back to the Prince Residence? She had thought that these past few days, Yexuan only cared about Chu Huaiyu’s affairs.

This meant that although Yexuan was cold and stern, he might not be completely devoid of affection for her.

However, that affection was pitifully scant.

But at least it was there.

Her fingers tapped down, deleting the video from the cell phone, then she glanced at the battery level, coughed twice, and her brows lightly furrowed.

This era had no generators.

It seemed she would need to buy a generator, a converter, and a set of solar power equipment.

However, it seemed there wasn’t much money left in her account...

During this time, Chu Qianli had been feeling despondent and hadn’t even opened the System to look.

Now when she checked, she was immediately frightened.

Why is there more than a hundred thousand on the account?

Clearly, before going to Heifeng Ridge that day, there was only about a tael or two thousand left.

Looking at the time of the deposit, it was on the day at Heifeng Ridge, a hundred thousand was credited!

After thinking it over, could this be... during the time she saved Fu Long and fainted?

Unexpectedly, after she saved Fu Long, the System actually rewarded her with a hundred thousand!

All of a sudden, Chu Qianli seemed to understand something.

Yet, she didn’t know if her thoughts were correct.

Was the reward so substantial because Fu Long was very important to her?

If it was the System that made the choice for her, then aside from being able to trust her own judgement, she should also trust the System.

Fu Long must be of great help to her in the future road ahead.

He is certainly someone who can be trusted.

After putting away her phone, she bought some medicine for herself.

Starting today, she would take good care of her body.

Self-abandonment was never her way of doing things.

...After that day, Leng Ji indeed did not appear again.

Three days later, Chu Huaiyu finally woke up.

Although he was awake, his body was extremely weak.

Having snatched a life back from Ghost Gate Pass, Chu Huaiyu, whether because he was too fragile or for some other reason, seemed to have changed his temperament upon awakening.

Not only did he no longer act weak in front of Feng Yexuan, but he also tried hard to show his strength.

However, Chu Qianli knew none of this.

During this period, she really hadn’t stepped half a foot out of Qianyun Pavilion.

Leng Ji returned in the evening of the third day.

After reporting back to the Prince Residence and changing into clean clothes, he immediately wanted to go see Chu Qianli at Qianyun Pavilion.

But what he didn’t expect was to see... the Prince on his way to Qianyun Pavilion?

"Prince!" Leng Ji immediately went over to give his respects.

The gaze of Feng Yexuan fell upon his clothes.

Leng Ji inexplicably felt a chill crawling up his neck.

He explained with trepidation, "Afraid... afraid that the dust was too much, so... so I went back to change... change my clothes first."

The Prince did not speak, his gaze deep and inscrutable, dark and indistinct.

Leng Ji felt his scalp tingling.

The Prince not speaking, but looking at him with such a gaze, what exactly... did it mean?

He inexplicably felt overwhelmed.

"Prince... Prince, is there... is there any command?" Leng Ji asked cautiously, with his head lowered.

In such a cool autumn season, at such a breezy evening, large beads of sweat still slid down his temples.

It was evident, how much pressure he was under, how nervous he was!

Why is the Prince still not saying a word?

Leng Ji couldn’t help it and stealthily lifted his head to take a glance.

The Prince was no longer looking at him!

The Prince’s attention was on the direction of a distant courtyard.

Qianyun Pavilion.

"Prince..." Leng Ji hesitated for a long time, then still couldn’t help saying, "Prince, Miss Chu has been confined to Qianyun Pavilion, already for... seven days."

Feng Yexuan did not speak.

But Leng Ji could feel his breath becoming slightly erratic.

Leng Ji immediately added, "Actually, at that time Miss Chu lost control of her emotions, it was also because Qianqian... had died."

"Prince, if I may be so bold to say, Miss Chu and Qianqian truly had a sisterly bond."

"If Qianqian really did something she shouldn’t have, it must have been out of a sincere desire to help Miss Chu, and certainly, Miss Chu would have been unaware, otherwise she wouldn’t have..."

Leng Ji hadn’t finished speaking when Feng Yexuan indifferently interrupted, "Since the punishment is enough, you may... accompany this Prince to see her."
