Chapter 255: Chapter 255: Is it time to do something for him?

Feng Yexuan led her to the Prince Xiaoyao Residence.

However, before meeting Feng Wuya, he first tossed her a set of guard’s attire.

But why did this girl look so strange when dressed in it?

"Hardly a few taels of flesh on you!" Feng Yexuan scrutinized the loose clothing on her.

Chu Qianli almost wanted to roll her eyes at him.

Standing at one meter and sixty-five, she wouldn’t be considered short even in modern times.

But what kind of clothing had he thrown to her? Clearly meant for someone at least one meter eighty in height, how was one supposed to wear that?

"Forget it, just stand here and don’t move, I’ll go fetch another set for you," he said.

The guard’s uniform had been prepared by Leng Ji, was he looking for his own clothing?

Seeing her looking at him with an expression as if she was watching a fool.

Feng Yexuan’s face darkened unhappily, "It’s Leng Ji’s fault!"

That guy with no sense of propriety!

"I understand, in the end, everyone else can be wrong, but you, Prince Yexuan, are absolutely infallible."

Chu Qianli exhaled and settled into a chair to wait.

Feng Yexuan couldn’t help but steal another glance at her.

Finally, was there a bit more liveliness about her?

Before, she seemed so lifeless.

Tonight, at last, she seemed willing to speak a bit more.

Inexplicably, his mood improved slightly...

Finally, when Feng Yexuan found a set of guard’s clothing that wasn’t so oversized, Chu Qianli changed into it and put on a guard’s hat.

Afterward, she followed Feng Yexuan out the door.

In Feng Wuya’s bedroom, where the Emperor had just left not long ago, the Empress Dowager was still present.

As Feng Yexuan, dressed as a guard, led Chu Qianli into the room, the Empress Dowager was seated by the bed, watching Feng Wuya take his medicine.

"Great Imperial Grandmother," he greeted her respectfully.

Chu Qianli, following behind him, was silent, but also bowed her head in respect.

The Empress Dowager didn’t notice her, her gaze fixed on Feng Yexuan, "Xuanxuan, why haven’t you gone to rest yet? Your presence here is unnecessary as long as this old one is watching over him."

"The fifth Emperor is temporarily out of danger, Great Imperial Grandmother, you should go back and rest soon," he replied.

Feng Yexuan approached the bed, took the empty bowl from which Feng Wuya had just drunk his medicine, and handed it casually to the nearby Imperial Physician.

He said, "People from Loyal Brother’s residence have acted improperly and offended the fifth Emperor, they have been detained in the Sky Prison by Father."

The Empress Dowager didn’t understand why he was bringing up this matter at such a time.

Wuya’s health is delicate, and there was no need to mention this in front of him.

Especially since Chu Qianli had even tied up Wuya’s hands and torn his clothes, bringing it up would surely infuriate Wuya.

Anger was detrimental to his health.

To her surprise, Feng Wuya’s expression changed abruptly at the news, "Father has detained the fourth Empress Consort in the Sky Prison?"

"Wuya, she is not your fourth Empress Consort," the Empress Dowager interjected with a slightly sinking face, "She is but your fourth Imperial Brother’s Concubine, and this designation of Empress Consort should henceforth be corrected."

It was the same old reasoning; although she didn’t have a significant grudge against Chu Qianli, rules were rules – how could a concubine be referred to as an Empress Consort?

Feng Wuya looked at Feng Yexuan, "Fourth Imperial Brother..."

"She tied your hands and was disrespectful to you; it’s only natural for Father to detain her," Feng Yexuan commented dispassionately.

However, Feng Wuya seemed somewhat anxious, "You have misunderstood a good person!"

The Empress Dowager frowned, "Could it be that she didn’t treat you with..."

"Great Imperial Grandmother, the fourth... Lady Chu was not disrespectful to your grandson. On the contrary, if it weren’t for Lady Chu, your grandson might not have recovered," he retorted.

The Empress Dowager’s brow furrowed even more, "This..."

"At that time, my illness struck and I couldn’t breathe, I felt like I wouldn’t make it."

"It was Miss Chu who suddenly appeared and treated me."

"Why did she tie you up?" Everyone saw at the time; his hands were bound, and he was in such an embarrassing state, unable to speak a word.

"She even tore open your clothes, took liberties with you..."

"Empress Dowager, things were not as you saw. At that time, I didn’t understand and wanted to push her away. If Miss Chu had not tied me up this way, she wouldn’t have been able to treat my ailments."

As for her taking liberties, in the eyes of the doctor, I am simply a patient. Where does the question of impropriety arise?

Feng Wuya hurriedly said to Yexuan, "Fourth brother, you must explain things to father... no, I should do it myself."

How could a lady go to a place like Sky Prison?

Damp and gloomy, reeking of decay in every corner—it would be strange if it didn’t scare a delicate girl like Chu Qianli out of her wits!

Feng Wuya flung back the covers, ready to get out of bed.

The Empress Dowager panicked, "I will explain to the Emperor myself; you need not trouble yourself. You should focus on recovering!"

"Empress Dowager, then you must explain it to father now." Feng Wuya was truly anxious.

Someone’s good intentions had led to such trouble, completely inadvertently.

He feared the prison guards might make things difficult for Chu Qianli, that young girl. Who knew how much suffering she would endure in jail.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t be asking the Empress Dowager to seek the Emperor at such a late hour.

The matter was truly urgent and could not wait!

Left with no choice by his insistence, the Empress Dowager stood up and said, "Very well, Wuya, do not worry. I am going to see the Emperor now, don’t be anxious."

The Empress Dowager really left.

To ease her grandson’s worries, she would make a personal visit to the Emperor’s bedchamber, even though it was past midnight.

Yexuan personally escorted the Empress Dowager out the door.

When he came back, Chu Qianli was still following behind him, dressed as a little guard.

If Feng Wuya’s mind wasn’t so preoccupied with her matters, he surely would have noticed that this little guard was out of the ordinary.

"Fourth brother, even if the Empress Dowager talks to father, considering father’s prejudice against Miss Chu, I fear he will not release her anytime soon."

"What would you have me do?" Yexuan was not only unconcerned but relaxed, leisurely taking a seat in the chair.

"Fourth brother, why don’t you personally go to Sky Prison and bring her out? Tomorrow, I will explain everything to father myself."

But Yexuan remained leisurely seated, even leisurely pouring himself a cup of tea.

"Fourth brother?" Feng Wuya frowned, sensing that something was amiss.

Chu Qianli was his person. Could it be that he truly didn’t care at all?

No, there was another person in the room.

For the first time, Feng Wuya’s gaze seriously fell upon the little guard.

This figure, it looked out of place.

Why would his fourth brother employ such a frail-looking guard?

"Who are you?" His gaze grew sharp, followed by a flash of recognition, "You are... "

Only then did Chu Qianli remove her hat, her long hair cascading down and resting on her shoulders.

Under the candlelight, her pale and delicate face was clear for all to see.

"Greetings, Prince Xiaoyao."

Chu Qianli truly hadn’t expected that a distinguished prince would show such urgency for her sake.

If she hadn’t witnessed it with her own eyes, she wouldn’t have believed it.

By bringing her here, was Yexuan trying to show her that Feng Wuya was genuinely a good person?

Chu Qianli lightly sighed and softly said, "Thank you, Your Highness, for affirming my innocence."

"You are innocent to begin with."

"Gratitude that is merely spoken is meaningless," she noted.

Yexuan looked at her intently, his eyes narrowing slightly, "Since you are grateful to him, shouldn’t you do something for him?"
