Tearing the Prince's Clothes after Withdrawing Marriage
Chapter 438 - 437: She Smiles, He’s Also Happy

Chapter 438: Chapter 437: She Smiles, He’s Also Happy

Chu Qianli knew that she shouldn’t reveal too much.

A slip of the tongue is a deadly blunder.

If she cared too much, the Empress Murong Yu would notice it.

She just couldn’t help herself; after all, her mother’s killer might be right in front of her eyes.

She subtly adjusted her breath, and when she looked at Murong Yu again, the murderous intent in her eyes had been concealed.

Chu Qianli looked at Murong Yu, her lips curving into a shallow smile, "I heard that over a decade ago, the princess of Longteng Country mysteriously disappeared in Beiming Country. Most people speculate she was killed."

"And you, you have been paying tribute to her all this time, holding her token. I’m really curious, could it be that you were the one who killed her... your junior sister?"

"What else do you know?" Murong Yu’s palm clenched tight again.

But now, Chu Qianli seemed so at ease.

It was as if she was just discussing irrelevant people and their irrelevant matters.

It seemed as though she had no significant emotional attachment.

But this cunning girl was too good at hiding and too clever. Murong Yu couldn’t fathom what she was really thinking.

"There are many more things I know."

However, at this moment, Chu Qianli’s face still showed no trace of anger.

She even smiled frivolously, "I also know, apart from your junior sister Long Xiyue, you have a junior brother named Nan Chu."

In fact, she was very nervous and uneasy.

But she dared not show the slightest sign of it.

On that palm-sized little face, there was still a breezy and indifferent smile, "Where is Nan Chu now?"

Unexpectedly, Murong Yu’s expression changed in an instant.

From anger and confusion to a kind of loss that even Chu Qianli found surprising.

"Nan Chu... where he is, is also something I want to know."

Murong Yu turned away her face, with the look of loss fleeting across her eyes.

When she turned back, her expression had regained its icy indifference.

"You’d better stay out of Longteng Country’s affairs. Those people are not something you can handle."

"Cure the Prince and gain the fame and fortune you want, and you’d best hurry back obediently. Otherwise, I will personally come and put you to death."

Chu Qianli breathed a sigh of relief.

It turned out Murong Yu thought she went to Longteng Country to treat the Prince for the sake of fame and fortune.

That was good; it saved her from further speculation.

The only gap now was Long Qianyue’s appearance.

If one day, by accident, Murong Yu discovered that Long Qianyue and Long Xiyue were the same person, then things would become troublesome.

Chu Qianli decided to avoid this gap for the time being.

After all, she was not yet a match for Murong Yu.

Just as she was about to leave, she saw Murong Yu walk to the railing, a desolate and lonely figure.

"I did not kill Long Xiyue. Stop looking into this matter and curb your curiosity!"

With a light leap, she vanished into the vast night.

Not killed by her...

Chu Qianli followed, and below Huaishan Temple, all was silent.

There was no further sign of the Empress.

The night had grown very deep.

She descended from Huaishan Temple and headed back in the direction of the Prince Residence.

All the way, her mind was still uneasy.

Mother, was she really not killed by Murong Yu?

But she surely knows much.

Yet now, carrying the safety of so many people on her shoulders, she dares not continue the investigation openly.

This matter, she can only leave to her uncle for now.

She had to return to Longteng Country first to see for herself what the situation was like over there.

Also, she thought about ways to earn more money, to buy back the equipment from her senior brother and perform the surgery on Wuya.

...That night, finally passed in peace and quiet.

The next morning, the team set off.

Long Ziyue led the team from Longteng Country and met up with Chu Qianli at the city gates.

"Miss, the carriage you made for Prince Wu looks really special."

After studying it for a while, Danqing came back excitedly, "Miss, what is this wheel made of? How can it be so smooth?"

"A kind of... plastic."

"Shuliao?" What is that?

"I can’t explain it now, I will show you sometime in the future," though this was nothing more than a polite remark.

All four wheels were bought on Taobao, how could she possibly know how to make them?

Looking up, Long Ziyue sat on her horse, constantly looking back towards the direction of the city.

Her face was filled with a sense of reluctance to part.

Chu Qianli rode over to her and smiled, "What, can’t bear to leave someone behind?"

Only then did Long Ziyue withdraw her gaze, surprisingly not in a hurry to deny it.

It seemed her mood was genuinely heavy.

Danqing certainly knew the matters of her Commandery Princess’s heart, but some things just couldn’t continue.

After all, it was impossible.

Danqing was about to offer some words of comfort when suddenly, a troop of people came rushing from inside the city.

The one leading them...

Long Ziyue’s spirits lifted, and she immediately rode out to meet them.

"Big Brother Fu, you’ve come?" Although she knew there was no future, at least she could see him one more time before leaving, and Long Ziyue was already satisfied.

Fu Long saluted her with a smile, "I’ve seen the Commandery Princess!"

"No need for formalities!" They had been through life and death together, and his blood was still flowing in her veins. To Long Ziyue, he was already... one of her own.

Chu Qianli also came riding over, somewhat surprised, "Fu Long, why have you come? To see us off?"

"No," Fu Long said with a smile, "The Empress Dowager is worried about Prince Wu’s safety and has asked the Emperor to send more protection. His Majesty has commanded me to accompany the Prince all the way to Longteng Country."

"What?" Long Ziyue was shocked and almost tumbled off her horse.

He was to escort Feng Wuya to Longteng Country, which meant they wouldn’t have to part?

At least, they would be together for a very long period in the future!

"Ziyue, wipe your drool," Chu Qianli was on the verge of bursting into laughter.

However, having Fu Long along was something she was also happy about.

Long Ziyue’s face turned red and she quickly wiped the corner of her mouth.

Damn it! Where did the drool come from?

She glared at Chu Qianli.

Because she was too happy, she didn’t want to argue with her anymore!

Finally, the team set out, and along the way, the chattering of Chu Qianli and Long Ziyue, the two noisy girls, hardly ever ceased.

Fu Long walked beside Feng Wuya’s carriage, watching the figure in front, his lips also couldn’t help but curl up slightly.

The laughter followed the smile on her lips.

When Feng Wuya lifted the curtain, he saw this scene.

Looking ahead, he saw the girl in the sunlight, her little face beaming with a sunny smile.

A subtle tremor passed through Feng Wuya’s heart, and seeing the smile on Fu Long’s lips, a sense of helplessness.

The people involved were, I’m afraid, still blissfully ignorant.

...At 11 AM, the team found a place on the road to stop and rest.

Chu Qianli came to find Feng Wuya with a steaming self-heating rice meal and saw that Fu Long was still guarding Wuya’s carriage. She said, "I saw Ziyue enter the dense forest alone earlier; I wonder if she might encounter trouble. Fu Long, maybe you should go have a look?"
