Chapter 314: Chapter 313: She Comes to Attend the Selection Ceremony of the Mysterious King’s Concubines

Han Zhan left, enraged.

Fu Ning couldn’t help but sigh softly, "Why do you insist on interacting with people in this way? They’re just showing concern for you."

In public, Fu Ning was a maid bought by her.

In private, the truth was, their relationship was rather good; they could be considered half friends.

Fu Ning, a person of the jianghu, never placed much importance on social hierarchy.

This made Chu Qianli feel even more at ease around her.

"But I don’t need his concern."

Chu Qianli slowly walked out from the ruins.

After some thought, Fu Ning couldn’t help but nod in agreement, "That’s true, a man’s concern, once too much, is overbearing."

She couldn’t figure out Han Zhan.

It seemed he was very fond of Chu Huaiyu, always helping Chu Huaiyu at every opportunity.

But why were his gazes at Chu Qianli so complicated?

It appeared... as if there was a hint of fondness, yet he seemed unwilling to admit it?

Ali’s relationship with Prince Xuan at this point was indeed tangled up in countless intricate threads.

At a time like this, it’s best not to accept the care of other men.

It’s troublesome.

"However, Miss..." Fu Ning looked at her profile and hesitated to speak.

"Just say whatever you want to say."

"I think... the Prince is quite pitiable," Fu Ning mumbled, her little face twisted in conflict.

She already knew the Prince was peerlessly handsome, stunningly beautiful.

She had seen him and almost lost her soul to him.

But knowing he was Chu Qianli’s man, at most, she would just steal a few more glances; other than that, she had no other feelings.

Food and sex are human nature; who doesn’t like to look at a handsome man?

However, tonight, she saw a different side of Prince Xuan.

That air of utter despair... Oh dear! It was simply too heartbreaking.

Fu Ning’s heart still clenched in panic at the thought, even now.

"Miss, do you really... not want him anymore? He’s been so good to you..."

He threw such a big tantrum, smashing everything he could, but he didn’t harm Chu Qianli even in the slightest.

Where else could she find a man who was good-looking, powerful, and cared for her?

Indeed, it’s exactly why one shouldn’t look too much at a handsome man; the more you see, the more it hurts.

It’s too painful to bear.

Chu Qianli didn’t say a word but went straight into the guest room.

Tonight, she could only sleep in the guest room.

Fu Ning followed her in, "Miss, you said to speak my mind, but when I do, you ignore me."

"I told you to speak, but I didn’t say I’d necessarily pay attention, did I?" Chu Qianli rolled her eyes.

"Miss, stop pretending, I know you’re not in a good mood," Fu Ning said.

Although Fu Ning hadn’t been with her for long, she understood Chu Qianli rather well when she wasn’t on guard.

"Do you truly not care about Prince Xuan at all? Have you never liked him, not even a little bit?"

Fu Ning didn’t believe it.

She was just deceiving herself.

"So what if I like him, and what if I don’t?"

Chu Qianli sat down on the bed, flung off her outer robe, and lay down.

"He is the Emperor’s son. Liking him would be exhausting."

"Does that mean you should stop liking someone just because it’s tiring?" Fu Ning didn’t understand, "As long as you’re in his heart, even if he had three thousand women in his harem, he’d still care about you the most, wouldn’t that be..."

"Fu Ning, you don’t understand." Fu Ning was a woman of this era.

Girls of this era never believed in the concept of ’one life, one pair, one person’.

But her, she was a modern person.

"Forget it, go back and rest. Command someone to tidy up my bedroom early tomorrow; right now, it’s just too unsightly,"

Fu Ning still wanted to say something.

Chu Qianli waved her hand and turned over to face away from her, no longer willing to speak.

Helpless, Fu Ning could only leave, closing the door behind her as she went.

In truth, Chu Qianli was not tired nor sleepy at the moment.

Today in Prince Xiaoyao Residence, she fell asleep listening to Feng Wuya’s Calming Incantation.

At first, she slept restlessly, plagued by nightmares one after another.

But later on, she slept a good long sleep and felt very comfortable.

The Calming Incantation of Wuya not only helped her sleep but also greatly benefitted her body.

Upon waking, she felt refreshed in body and mind, as if she had reached a new level in her practice.

Having been in this era for so long, this was the best sleep Chu Qianli had ever had.

She wished she could fall asleep to such music every day...

Outside, a sudden rustling of the wind could be heard.

Chu Qianli, who had just shut her eyes, immediately opened them wide.

Someone intentionally startled her; Chu Qianli understood and quickly got up, draping a robe over herself.

"I’m dressed now, come in,"

The windowsill moved slightly, and a slender figure dropped into the room.

"Uncle?" Chu Qianli’s heart jolted, suddenly anxious, "Could it be that Grandfather, he..."

"No, don’t worry. Father took your medicine, and his condition is relatively stable now,"

Long Feifan closed the windowsill and walked to a spot not far from her.

He didn’t light a candle, so it was hard to see clearly, which was just as well.

"So, Uncle, what brings you to me so late at night?"

"Someone from Longteng Country has come,"

Chu Qianli poured a cup of tea for him, noting from his hoarse voice that he must have traveled a long way during the day.

With Grandfather ill, all responsibilities had fallen on Uncle; he must be very tired, mustn’t he?

"What do you want me to do?" Chu Qianli asked directly.

Long Feifan gulped down the water from the cup in one breath, then walked over and drank directly from the kettle.

After finally quenching his thirst, he put down the kettle and looked at her.

"The person who came this time is the daughter of the betrothed Prince, Commandery Princess Pingyue, Long Ziyue."

As for the current situation in Longteng Country, Chu Qianli had heard some from Long Ye before.

However, she still didn’t know much.

"Is this betrothed Prince the former Third Imperial Uncle?"

"That’s right, she’s the sister of the current Empress of Longteng, Long Tianliu, and also the Third Princess of the late Emperor, indeed a close relative,"

With Long Feifan’s explanation, Chu Qianli immediately understood the significance of this betrothed Prince.

"Logically, someone like Long Tianliu, who murdered her sister to seize the throne, shouldn’t keep such an important person around,"

Isn’t she afraid the betrothed Prince might do the same as she did and plot to take over the throne?

"Over the years, Long Tianliu has caused quite a bit of trouble for the betrothed Prince, but the betrothed Prince has survived up to now because she is indeed skillful,"

"She holds military power in her hands, so Long Tianliu can’t do anything to her for the time being,"

"I understand, Uncle means that you want me to connect with Commandery Princess Pingyue and through her make further contact with the betrothed Prince?"

In the end, she had to return to Longteng Country to reclaim everything for her mother.

Once she found the Jade Seal and uncovered the truth behind the events of that year, she would have to go back.

When the time came to confront Long Tianliu, she would have to rally some forces to her side.

The betrothed Prince was certainly a pivotal figure in this matter and must be won over!

Seeing Long Feifan nod, Chu Qianli immediately asked, "What is Commandery Princess Pingyue doing in Beiming Country?"

Long Feifan gave her a look, seeming a bit hesitant.

After a moment, he finally said, "To participate in Prince Xuan’s consort selection."
