Chapter 30: Chapter 30: Returning Kindness with Enmity
Yu Linglong called out to Miss Chu.
Chu Qianli immediately understood.
In Yu Linglong’s heart, she was never willing to admit that she was the Princess Consort to King Xuan.
Indeed, Yu Linglong was fond of Feng Yexuan, very deeply indeed!
Chu Qianli glanced at Qing Ming, "Didn’t you help me fetch the gifts that Miss Yu had sent?"
Qing Ming scratched his head, "That... I’ve sent someone to get them."
Chu Qianli didn’t say anything else and continued to drink her tea.
It truly was inconvenient not having her own people around.
Even for something small, she had to ask for someone from Feng Yexuan’s entourage.
Since she had already arrived in this era, it seemed unlikely she could travel back.
It looked like she had to plan her future carefully.
"What kind of game are you playing exactly?" Consort Jin couldn’t sit still.
Seeing her continuously sipping tea only angered Consort Jin even more. Was this not a waste of everyone’s time?
Chu Qianli swept a cool glance over her, then suddenly curved her lips into a shallow smile.
"I really don’t understand how someone of your temperament, Your Highness, has managed to survive in the palace for so many decades?"
"What do you mean?" Consort Jin nearly lost her composure enough to slam her hand on the table.
Did that enchantress mean to say she should have been unable to survive in the palace long ago?
However, those words stabbed Consort Jin right where it hurt.
Who didn’t know that she no longer had any standing in the Emperor’s harem?
The only reason she was still considered noble over the years was because of her son, King Xuan.
How grateful she was for having raised Feng Yexuan and Feng Jinrui.
One was a god on the battlefield, the other was the apple of the Empress Dowager’s eye.
As their mother, even as just a foster mother, she remained untouchable in the palace, however much she fell out of favor.
But her position in the harem was truly awkward!
This enchantress dared to mock her!
"Xuanxuan, not only is this woman promiscuous and shameless, but she is also disrespectful to me. Are you not going to teach her a lesson?"
Since Consort Jin couldn’t do anything to Chu Qianli herself, she could only turn to Feng Yexuan for help.
But who knew, Feng Yexuan merely gave her a nonchalant look and said, "The Princess Consort’s words are not without reason."
"Xuanxuan?" Consort Jin was dumbfounded.
The son she had raised was siding with a stranger to bully her!
What... What was going on? Had he really been bewitched by the enchantress?
"Mother, since the Fourth Princess Consort claims she has evidence, it wouldn’t hurt to wait a moment longer," Feng Jinrui immediately persuaded.
At his words, Consort Jin grew even angrier.
"You all are willing to listen to this enchantress? She has slandered Miss Yu, and you even side with her?"
"Over these years, the Empress Dowager has been ill, and thanks to Miss Yu’s meticulous care, the Empress Dowager has been able to... Have you all forgotten this kindness?"
"By wronging Miss Yu and tarnishing her reputation like this, you’re repaying kindness with ingratitude!"
Neither Feng Yexuan nor Feng Jinrui spoke.
Yu Linglong’s kindness to the Empress Dowager was a kindness to them as well.
No one dared forget this debt of gratitude.
But, different issues should be treated separately. At the moment, they were discussing the matter of someone drugging Feng Jinrui.
Feng Yexuan too was eager to see what kind of so-called evidence this woman, who seemed fearless in the face of heaven and earth, had brought with her.
Consort Jin was anxious to death, but on the other hand, Yu Linglong just sat quietly to the side.
The very person involved now seemed like an outsider to the situation.
Chu Qianli had been watching her all along.
Such calm and steadiness, her composure was indeed beyond ordinary.
If it weren’t for the nearly certain evidence in her hand, she might have believed that she was wronging Yu Linglong.
Unfortunately for Yu Linglong, the evidence was all in Chu Qianli’s possession!
Outside, a guard swiftly entered the room, about to bow in salute.
Chu Qianli quickly said, "Spare me the pleasantries, did you bring the item?"
