Tearing the Prince's Clothes after Withdrawing Marriage
Chapter 410 - 409: Only I Know That Place

Chapter 410: Chapter 409: Only I Know That Place

The Consort Yu’s Xianlan Palace was filled with the scent of sandalwood.

But the sandalwood had long since burned out.

With no one around, a small medicine bottle had been dropped on the ground, containing a green ointment.

"Prince, it seems that Consort Yu left in a hurry last night," a palace maid said.

Leng Ji picked up the medicine bottle and walked over to Feng Yexuan.

"Liujin said that Consort Yu was at Prince Xiaoyao’s Residence all of last night, but it’s unknown if she is still there now..."

Feng Yexuan turned and walked into the inner chamber of the side hall.

This was the place where Consort Yu usually chanted scriptures and prayed for blessings. He had been here before with Feng Wuya, but had never gone inside.

As soon as he entered, something caught Feng Yexuan’s eye.

A portrait.

"Why is Long Qianyue’s portrait here?" Feng Yexuan took down the portrait.

Considering where the portrait was placed, could it be that Consort Yu had been offering incense to it on a regular basis?

Why would she worship Long Qianyue?

Could it be that they were acquaintances from the past?

However, Feng Yexuan was anxious at this moment, only wanting to find Chu Qianli as soon as possible.

Regarding Long Qianyue’s portrait, he could only hand it to Leng Ji: "Keep this safe!"

"Yes!" Leng Ji hurriedly stored it away.

Inside and out, Xianlan Palace bore no trace of Consort Yu’s presence.

In the courtyard, several palace maids and eunuchs were busy at work, everything as usual.

When Prince Yexuan barged in with a crowd, the palace maids were dizzy upon first laying eyes on him.

Seeing Prince Yexuan up close, they hadn’t expected him to be so heart-stoppingly stunning!

That powerful yet supremely beautiful aura was a paradox that made it impossible to look away.

Yet his sharp gaze forced you to not dare take a second glance.

Wanting to look but not daring to, in the end, resulted in a feeling of blood rushing to the head, leaving one lightheaded!

"Have you seen Consort Yu?" Leng Ji, who was leading the way, grabbed a little eunuch by the collar: "Speak!"

"Re-responding to the Prince..." The eunuch was so terrified that his legs went weak, and he dared not look directly at the man behind Leng Ji.

"This servant... this servant has not seen Consort Yu today."

Leng Ji dropped the person and swept his cold gaze over everyone.

Everyone hurriedly bowed their heads and hunched over, not daring to let out a breath.

"This servant has not seen Consort Yu."

"This servant has not seen the consort."

Feng Yexuan left with a cold face, quickly walking towards the courtyard gate.

"Pr-Prince..." Leng Ji hurried to follow.

The news of Prince Yexuan causing a commotion in Xianlan Palace would probably spread quickly.

Before alarming the Emperor, they had to find Consort Yu and Chu Qianli urgently, or else the situation would only escalate!

Liujin also hurried out in a rush.

What he feared most was that after seeing Prince Wuya’s white hair, Consort Yu had gone mad, and it was unknown what she might do to Chu Qianli.

"Prince, could Consort Yu have taken Miss Chu to find Prince Wuya?"

No sooner had Liujin spoken these words than Feng Yexuan was no longer within sight.

"The Prince has gone to Prince Xiaoyao Residence!" Liujin, looking at Leng Ji, urged, "Hurry up and follow!"

Leng Ji was already a step ahead, chasing after him.

Liujin was skilled in medicine but only average in martial arts, not as good as Leng Ji.

To keep up with the Prince’s pace... Liujin wiped the sweat from his brow and called out urgently, "Someone bring the horses! Quickly!"

...Inside the Prince Xiaoyao Residence.

Feng Wuya had just woken up.

He heard outside Tie Xin trying to stop the fourth loyal brother.

He rose from the bed and lifted the mosquito netting, "Fourth Loyal Brother..."

Tie Xin couldn’t stop him, and Feng Yexuan pushed open the door with a single motion.

What he hadn’t expected was to be met with a cascade of snow-white hair.

The once elegant and otherworldly handsome man had now turned into a frail figure with white hair.

All the rage in Feng Yexuan’s belly instantly congealed into frost.

He couldn’t rebuke him, pierced to the core with heartache.

That complex turmoil eventually morphed into a metallic taste of blood rushing to his mouth!

"Prince, you are gravely injured and should not get angry," Liujin and Leng Ji arrived a step behind.

Looking at the two figures in the room, they wanted to persuade him, but didn’t know where to begin.

Just days ago, Prince Xuan lay critically ill in bed, nearly beyond waking.

Chu Qianli had repeatedly emphasized that during this period he must not use his True Qi.

Yet, in his desperate search for Chu Qianli’s whereabouts, he had rushed from Prince Xiaoyao Residence to the Imperial Palace, and from there, traveling via secret paths. All along the way, he found even the horses too slow, persistently using Qinggong to move faster.

Such disobedience wasted all the painstaking efforts of Miss Chu’s treatment.

"Prince Xiaoyao, how are you feeling?" Liujin quickly walked to the bedside, helping Feng Wuya to his feet.

His long fingers took the opportunity to check Feng Wuya’s pulse.

After a moment, a flicker of delight crossed Liujin’s eyes, "Prince, your pulse... it seems to have eased!"

Although still very frail, and although... although he was indeed not long for this world.

But at least at this moment, his pulse was steady, not like the night before, as if he could... die at any moment.

It seemed that Consort Yu’s martial prowess was even greater than they had thought.

Feng Wuya paid no attention to him, taking slow steps toward Feng Yexuan, "Fourth Loyal Brother, what has happened?"

Feng Yexuan’s gaze drifted away from his pale white hair.

He asked indifferently, "Has Consort Yu been here?"

"She was here last night..." But he didn’t know when Consort Yu had left.

Feng Wuya gave a light cough and looked at Tie Xin.

Then Tie Xin spoke up, "Her Highness Consort Yu left this morning and has not returned since."

Feng Wuya’s gaze returned to Feng Yexuan; although the fourth prince’s face was always as cold as frost, the urgency in his brow couldn’t be hidden.

"Could it be Ali..." A shock went through Feng Wuya.

An instant of tension triggered another bout of coughing.

And what he coughed up was all streaked with blood.

Liujin quickly wiped it away for him.

The Prince Xiaoyao’s body couldn’t withstand any further turmoil!

Feng Yexuan turned his face aside, whispering, "It’s nothing, just looking for her to discuss some matters."

He turned and left, his steps still measured and slow, not appearing too urgent.

"Since Consort Yu isn’t here, I will visit another day, you rest well."

Liujin and Leng Ji couldn’t help but feel a pang of sorrow.

The prince was showing his concern for Prince Xiaoyao.

He did not intend to let Prince Xiaoyao know that Miss Chu had been taken away to avoid worrying him.

"Prince, rest well, I will help you back," Liujin said softly.

But Feng Wuya’s gaze followed Feng Yexuan’s tall figure, his cracked and dry lips barely moving, "Could it be that Mother... has done something to Ali?"

"Impossible!" Feng Yexuan said sternly.

"Fourth Loyal Brother..." Feng Wuya took a deep breath and pushed Liujin away, "Fourth Loyal Brother, there is a place that you will never find unless I tell you."

He took slow steps, coming up behind Feng Yexuan.

"I will take you there."

...That place was nestled in a mountain several miles away from the Imperial Palace.

As Feng Wuya had said, the place was too hidden, and without someone to lead the way, it was hardly discoverable by the common man.

At this very moment, Chu Qianli was indeed abandoned in a cave within that mountain.
