Tearing the Prince's Clothes after Withdrawing Marriage
Chapter 431 - 430: The Heart, Torn Asunder in an Instant

Chapter 431: Chapter 430: The Heart, Torn Asunder in an Instant

Feng Wuya did not answer Chu Qianli’s question, because she soon found the answer herself.

Yu Linglong followed Feng Yexuan on the military campaign.

That woman, indeed, had coaxed the Empress Dowager, allowing the emperor to decide and approve her to accompany the expeditionary forces.

After all, with her exceptional medical skills, serving as an army doctor was indeed unobjectionable.

However, who didn’t know that Yu Linglong’s intentions were not on the wine?

What army doctor? With her delicate nature, would she truly be willing to tend to the dirty and wounded brothers on the battlefield?

She only wanted to be Prince Yexuan’s personal doctor!

Chu Qianli sneered at this!

Her face full of disdain!

"How about it? I said I would accompany Yexuan, and I certainly will. Do you see now?"

Chu Qianli, looking at Yu Linglong who purposely came in front of her to show off, sneered, "Is your face better? Despite the thick makeup, I can still see the swelling. I wonder if your Yexuan has noticed?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Linglong’s complexion changed and she immediately put some distance between them.

This damned lowly woman, she really had changed.

In the past, she would never dare to be so arrogant; now, she could be so dismissive!

Most importantly, she seemed to really have less concern now.

On the contrary, it was herself, who, due to not daring to lose the Empress Dowager’s trust again, was now restrained at every turn!

Chu Qianli didn’t have the heart to quarrel with her and walked a few steps forward, her gaze subconsciously searching the crowd.

Actually, her mood had always been weird.

Everyone said that Consort Yu applied the Soul Captivating Technique on her, but she truly couldn’t remember any details with Feng Yexuan.

The only thing, the one she could never ignore, was that she truly owed Wuya.

That head of white hair was indeed a result of her actions.

But if it came to whether she liked him or not, perhaps at this moment, Chu Qianli herself did not know what it felt like to truly like someone.

She herself was completely confused.

Every time she thought about it, her head ached.

She could only force herself not to think.

But now, she indeed wanted to take a glance... just a glance and that was all, without any other thoughts.

It’s just that, a last look before parting.

She comforted herself like this.

It wasn’t because she liked that man, how could it be possible?

She couldn’t betray Wuya; that man could only ever be Loyal Brother.

She couldn’t possibly like him...

Chu Qianli suddenly furrowed her brows.

Some thoughts, as soon as they began to grow inside her, caused her head to ache fiercely!

"Enchantress!" A clear voice came from behind.

Chu Qianli let out a sigh of relief; finally, without thinking about that figure, her head no longer hurt.

She turned around and saw Yu Linglong had walked far away, probably to tidy herself up and greet Prince Yexuan’s arrival with her best side.

As for the man behind her...

"Shiyi? Why are you dressed like this?"

"I am going to follow Loyal Brother to war!" Feng Jinrui was obviously excited as he leaped off his horse and quickly approached her.

"Enchantress, how do I look in this armor? Loyal Brother gave it to me!"

Chu Qianli felt somewhat amused.

This guy, still clearly a child.

Seventeen years old, in her time, still just a high school student.

However, just like his few brothers, Feng Jinrui had a natural broad frame, tall and slender. If he were to grow a bit more, he would definitely be a super handsome guy capable of killing without being held responsible.

"You really want to follow Prince Yexuan to war?" Chu Qianli felt somewhat emotional.

Just a little boy, was he going to face the gory scenes of the battlefield?

"I’ve followed Loyal Brother on several campaigns in the past, just never truly lead troops, but this time, Loyal Brother said he’d allocate troops to me, I’m a General now!"

Chu Qianli could see, this big boy was brimming with smiles, so excited!

"What’s so good about going to war? People can die any minute. It’s not fun at all."

"Defending our home and country is a duty every man should fulfill. It’s not about fun. It’s about responsibility."

Feng Jinrui patted his chest. "I can also protect our Beiming Country, just like my fourth brother!"

But Chu Qianli watched and still felt a twinge of sadness.

Boys of this age should be in the prime of their youth, still in a time of play and fun.

Yet when she thought about it, she suddenly felt an even deeper sadness.

After all, Prince Yexuan was only twenty-three years old then.

If it were the twenty-first century, he would be just a college graduate, entering the workforce for hardly a year.

But did he have any of the immaturity of a college student?

The battlefield had turned him into a true man.

Of iron bones and standing tall between heaven and earth.

It is said that he made a name for himself in battle at the age of fourteen.

Behind his success and fame, was he, in fact, exhausted?

Feng Jinrui suddenly exclaimed with excitement, "Fourth brother is here!"

Chu Qianli looked up.

Beneath the golden sunshine, that suit of silver armor was dazzlingly brilliant.

He sat atop a tall horse, receiving the blessings of the masses.

It was clear that the people truly admired and respected Prince Yexuan.

Everyone was worshiping sincerely, praying earnestly for Prince Yexuan’s triumphant return as soon as possible.

Chu Qianli’s gaze accidentally became completely captivated by that figure.

There was not the slightest trace of the ease and carefreeness of a twenty-three-year-old in him; he bore too many burdens and responsibilities on his shoulders, with the safety of the entire Beiming Country largely weighing upon him.

With him, Beiming Country was safe.

Without him, Beiming would plunge into dire straits.

All of a sudden, a pang of heartache surged up and nearly brought her to tears, causing her eyes to burn hotly.

Had anyone ever considered whether Prince Yexuan also wished to stop for a while, take a rest, or even, like any ordinary young person, to just walk around, have some fun?

"Uh..." Chu Qianli’s face suddenly changed, and she placed her hand over her chest, bending over.

"Enchantress?" Feng Jinrui had wanted to go to his fourth brother’s side.

But before he even left, he saw the Enchantress clutching her heart, her face twisted in pain.

He jumped in fright, turned back sharply, and gave her a hand.

"What’s wrong with you?"

"I don’t know... my heart... it hurts."

Chu Qianli gasped for air; after a struggle, she finally managed to catch her breath.

This piercing pain was like the moment last night when she saw and heard Feng Yexuan say his heart hurt, that sudden agony.

It felt like being torn apart.

So painful!

She immediately turned her face away, no longer looking at that figure.

It seemed that when she did not look at him, the pain inexplicably disappeared.

The sharp pain came quickly and vanished just as swiftly, strangely enough!

"Enchantress..."

"It’s... it’s nothing." She waved her hand, took a few deep breaths, and then slowly straightened up.

Looking again at the figure in the distance, he still sat on horseback, but his piercing gaze suddenly turned this way!

Their eyes met, and Chu Qianli’s heart thudded, skipping half a beat in an instant.

She hurriedly turned her face away, grabbing Feng Jinrui, "Come here, I have something to give you!"

She couldn’t look, couldn’t think.

That pain, she truly couldn’t bear it!

It was too painful!

Every time her heart ached for that man, her heart would hurt along with it, what on earth was going on?
