Chapter 376: Chapter 375: Prince, You Must Stand Up for Me

Chu Qianli came out of Long Ziyue’s room in the middle of the night.

Upon hearing that Long Ziyue’s condition had finally stabilized, Danqing immediately entered to stay by the side of the Commandery Princess.

Fu Long had planned to rest in the neighboring room, but after some thought, he insisted, "I’d rather... stay by the Commandery Princess’s side."

Someone was after the Commandery Princess’s life, and although she had slightly improved, that person might still come back for a sneak attack.

Even though they were in Prince Yexuan’s residence, the matter was of great importance, and Fu Long felt more at ease guarding her personally.

Long Ziyue’s life was entangled with too many complications.

Those people behind the scenes, at every moment, were wishing for her death.

He couldn’t be at peace not guarding her himself.

Danqing didn’t say anything.

Knowing that the blood in the Commandery Princess’s body was from this man, Fu Long was now a benefactor to Danqing.

"Big brother, are you feeling any better?" Fu Ning brought some food for Fu Long.

After eating, Fu Long, who’s initially been quite pale, looked noticeably better.

Fu Ning’s anxieties eased somewhat.

Fu Long nodded and then offered her a smile, "Your big brother is strong as a bull, what could possibly be wrong with me?"

He glanced outside.

Fu Ning hurriedly said, "Big brother, rest assured, the outside is guarded by Prince Yexuan’s men, three layers deep. The Commandery Princess will be safe."

However, Fu Ning knew that without personally keeping watch, her big brother would not be at peace.

"Big brother, I will bring you some bedding. You should sleep in the outer room tonight."

Fu Long nodded.

Fu Ning understood him.

After Fu Ning had brought the bedding and arranged everything on the other side of the screen in the outer room, Fu Long said to her, "You go attend to Ali, she will need you."

"Okay." Fu Ning was planning to go anyway.

Glancing one more time at the Commandery Princess on the bed, although her complexion was still not good, it wasn’t as deathly pale as before.

Back then, she looked like a dead person.

Now, at least, she looked like a sick person.

Lastly, Fu Ning poured a cup of tea for Fu Long and left.

Chu Qianli and Liujin were still taking care of Feng Wuya.

Prince Xiaoyao’s condition wasn’t great, but for the moment, there was no threat to his life.

Chu Qianli covertly gave a few instructions to Fu Ning before leaving the bedside and approaching Yexuan, "The person who led me to the shack that night was Chu Huaiyu."

Yexuan didn’t speak, merely clutching the cup in his hand.

"I know you have always had a bit of pity for her because of her background, but Ziyue was kidnapped by her..."

"Do you have any proof?" Right now, Long Ziyue had yet to wake up, and her words were mere conjecture.

"But right now, I need to capture Chu Huaiyu."

With Fu Long in the Prince Residence, continuing to guard Long Ziyue, she didn’t have enough people here.

Yexuan looked at her face.

Her complexion was not much better than the two lying in the sickbeds.

In fact, she herself had not recovered from serious injuries.

She had treated Long Ziyue immediately upon waking and hadn’t rested properly since.

"We can wait on this matter, until..."

"We can’t wait!" Chu Qianli immediately interrupted him, "I hope the prince sends someone at once to capture Chu Huaiyu; otherwise, if we delay, I fear she might be silenced by someone."

Yexuan’s fingertips tightened slightly, but his facial expression remained unchanged.

"Furthermore, as long as the Prince brings Chu Huaiyu back, I can prove to the Prince that she is not the daughter of Long Qianyue."

Feng Yexuan’s brow furrowed slightly as he looked at her.

"I just hope that you can trust me this once, Prince. I will prove it to you!"

For a long time, no one spoke in the room.

Liujin sat by the bed, and although he did not join their conversation, he felt some unease in his heart.

Chu Huaiyu is not Long Qianyue’s daughter?

Even though Liujin had not spent much time with Chu Qianli, he knew that if she could say such a thing, she must have been certain.

Did she really have evidence to prove that Chu Huaiyu was not the one?

Then, if Chu Huaiyu was not, who was Long Qianyue’s daughter?

Could it be...

Liujin dared not continue the thought and quietly looked towards the Prince.

Feng Yexuan still had an expressionless face, and his deep eyes made it impossible to see what he was really thinking.

Time passed, and then Chu Qianli spoke again, "If you still don’t believe, I can..."

"She is currently in the Prince Residence."

...

Chu Huaiyu was being hunted, and it was Feng Yexuan’s men who had saved her.

The reason Feng Yexuan had not mentioned Chu Huaiyu before was that he had also sent people to investigate.

The people by his side were not limited to Qing Ming and Leng Ji alone.

Why would a young miss who grew up in the boudoir possess such formidable martial arts skills? This was something he had to verify.

However, Chu Qianli had a point; due to Chu Huaiyu’s identity, even though he knew there were issues with her, he had temporarily not taken any action against her.

So now, Chu Huaiyu was actually staying in the same courtyard she had lived in before, resting and recuperating from her injuries.

Besides two servants there, no one else was present.

Chu Huaiyu was genuinely happy to see Feng Yexuan coming, and she immediately went out to welcome him.

But what she hadn’t expected was that following Feng Yexuan were so many people.

Chu Huaiyu’s thoughts quickly retracted, and she calmed down in an instant, stepping toward Feng Yexuan.

"Prince." Knowing that her martial arts skills had already been exposed, Chu Huaiyu now had no need to feign weakness anymore.

But in Feng Yexuan’s presence, she still maintained the graceful composure of a young mistress.

"For the Prince to bring so many people here, I wonder what the matter is?"

She coughed twice. Although not weak, her voice still sounded as if her wounds had not fully healed.

Fu Ning could not help but step forward angrily, "Chu Huaiyu, stop pretending! Commandery Princess Pingyue was taken away by you, and it was you who led us to the cabin!"

That night, everyone was there, including big brother and Han Zhan!

"Why do you want to harm our young lady? Who exactly is behind you, giving the orders? Speak up!"

Although Commandery Princess Pingyue has had her life spared, their young lady has suffered quite a bit because of this!

It was she who changed Chu Qianli’s clothes, and she had seen with her own eyes the whip marks on Chu Qianli’s body that could cause internal injuries!

How much pain must the young lady have felt when each lash was struck?

All this was thanks to Chu Huaiyu!

Yet, Chu Huaiyu merely gave her a faint look, her gentle gaze then meeting Feng Yexuan’s eyes.

"Prince, Chu Qianli attacked me, and she intended to harm me first. I had no choice but to flee the Duke Residence, and midway through, I was brought back here by your men."

She bit her lip and lifted up her sleeve.

On her arm, there were several knife wounds. Although they had been bandaged, bloodstains still marked the fabric.

"These were inflicted by Chu Qianli. Prince, you must seek justice for me!"
