Chapter 32: Chapter 32: Take a Look, Can You Hold On?

"Mother Consort, please have some tea."

Feng Yexuan’s voice was neutral, but his demeanor left no room for doubt!

He was different from Feng Jinrui—he wasn’t close to Consort Jin, his adoptive mother.

In his presence, Consort Jin always refrained from acting recklessly.

This was the second time tonight that Feng Yexuan had spoken to Chu Qianli.

The room, save for the straightforward-thinking Feng Jinrui, was silent yet each person harbored their own thoughts.

It seemed, the Prince’s attitude towards Chu Qianli had changed somewhat from before.

Only Chu Qianli herself was unaware of any discrepancy.

She continued, "Jinrui, that night, you said you had seen Xiaotao, didn’t you?"

"Yes." Feng Jinrui too wanted to know what had really happened that night.

Although not a particularly meticulous thinker, it was precisely for this reason that he preferred to trust his own instincts.

For some reason, he had shared what they called ’hot and spicy hotpot’ with the Enchantress the previous night.

After seeing her casual way of sitting and eating, he had gradually formed a feeling.

He felt that the Enchantress might not be so... keen on harming others.

Even though the evening ended on a dissonant note, the feeling had lodged itself in his heart and couldn’t be erased.

Perhaps, the real culprit that night wasn’t her.

Xiaotao belonged to Yu Linglong; had Jinrui truly seen Xiaotao that night?

At this moment, everyone’s gaze once again converged on Feng Jinrui.

Chu Qianli stated indifferently, "Qing Ming, has the Doctor arrived?"

"He has been waiting outside." Qing Ming called out, "Doctor Yan, please come in."

A Doctor entered carrying a small box; upon entering, he first bowed to Prince Yexuan, Consort Jin, and the others.

Chu Qianli detested such formalities, but in ancient times, they were likely unavoidable.

After the Doctor had finished bowing, she immediately said, "Please allow Jinrui to smell this and confirm if it’s the same scent he noticed from Xiaotao that night."

Doctor Yan glanced at Feng Yexuan and, seeing the Prince had no objections, approached Feng Jinrui and opened the box.

It was just the usual medicinal scent, detectable by anyone nearby, albeit faint.

Feng Jinrui furrowed his brows, then looked back at Chu Qianli and nodded, "It’s this scent."

Chu Qianli’s gaze fell on Yu Linglong, aware that no one else probably saw the fleeting disquiet in Yu Linglong’s eyes.

Ah, so even the best performances have their flaws.

"Miss Yu, you should be quite familiar with this, shouldn’t you?"

"Miss Chu," Yu Linglong set down her cup, and when she looked up again, her eyes were devoid of any emotion.

"Whether it’s Five-Flavor Berry or Yuqing Wood, both are beneficial herbs. If you’re unfamiliar, you may wish to consult with Doctor Yan."

"Miss Yu is right. Both items can calm the mind. In my many years of practice, I’ve never heard of them being used to concoct Aphrodisiacs," the Doctor quickly took sides, clearly aligning with Yu Linglong.

Chu Qianli, however, gave a scornful smile, "That’s because your medical skills are shallow, yet you have the audacity to speak so composedly?"

"You!" Doctor Yan was so infuriated his eyes bulged.

If not for the presence of so many important figures, he would have already exploded with rage!

Qing Ming also felt a touch of displeasure at Chu Qianli’s impertinence.

He spoke solemnly, "Princess, Doctor Yan has been serving in the Prince Residence for many years. He is the best Doctor here, aside from Miss Yu. Please be careful with your words."

"If I say his medical skills are shallow, then they are shallow. Why should I watch my words?"

Chu Qianli waved her hand dismissively and said coldly, "Everyone here knows the Prince has the most profound skills. Why not let the Prince himself try it?"

Her smile carried a hint of provocation:

"First smell the Five-Flavor Berry, then the scent of Yuqing Wood. Let’s see if the Prince can withstand it?"
