Tearing the Prince's Clothes after Withdrawing Marriage
Chapter 458 - 457: Are You Threatening Me?

Chapter 458: Chapter 457: Are You Threatening Me?

Chu Qianli was invited by Long Tianliu into the inner hall.

Before entering, Long Tianliu had someone bring a Jade Chair for Feng Wuya to rest.

Such treatment had never even been granted to Long Xinghe.

Long Tianliu even looked at Feng Wuya with a gentle smile, "We will return shortly, Prince Wuya, please wait a moment, tonight, we shall hold a banquet to honor your presence."

Feng Wuya did not speak, merely nodding slightly in acknowledgment.

Long Tianliu did not mind his impoliteness.

Such a clean and pure boy, no matter how impolite, always seemed to bring people a sense of pleasure and refreshment.

However, the gaze of the ruler made the people in Anshang Palace grow gradually uneasy.

His Majesty seems to have taken a liking to Prince Xiaoyao, yet Prince Xiaoyao is the current darling of the Grand Princess.

His Majesty and the Grand Princess must not fall out at this time.

What should be done now?

Chu Qianli naturally noticed all of this as well.

With an unreadable expression, she followed Long Tianliu into the inner hall.

But just as they entered, Long Tianliu suddenly paused and lunged towards her.

Chu Qianli’s heart tightened, and she instinctively reached out to catch him, "Your Majesty!"

Long Tianliu’s index finger instantly pressed on the pulse point of Chu Qianli’s wrist.

It was a vital point! With just a strong enough pinch, she could instantly disable all of Chu Qianli’s martial arts abilities.

Yet unexpectedly, Chu Qianli did not fight back, instead, when Long Tianliu pressed her pulse point, she reached out and felt Long Tianliu’s pulse in return.

"Your Majesty, your vital energy is depleted, are you feeling dizzy?"

Long Tianliu’s eyes darkened, did this girl not know that she could have easily disabled her just now?

When Chu Qianli looked up, she met her gaze.

She smiled, "Your Majesty, there is no need to test me, my martial arts can by no means match yours, Your Majesty, your pulse is indeed not very good, shall I try to give you acupuncture?"

"Do you think anyone can touch my dragon body?" Long Tianliu’s face remained stern.

Chu Qianli’s demeanor was still composed, as she spoke with neither servility nor arrogance, "Princess Pingyue invited me to your country because my medical skills are truly not unfounded."

"However, if Your Majesty does not wish to be touched by me, I will not insist."

She loosened her grip, intending to step back.

But her wrist’s vital point was still tightly grasped by Long Tianliu, preventing her retreat.

Chu Qianli said helplessly, "Your Majesty, I am alone and weak in your country, and even though I have some martial arts skills, what can I do?"

"After all, I have received the Beiming Emperor’s permission to accompany Princess Pingyue in treating Prince Ziyue’s illness. I will still need to report back to our emperor about Prince Ziyue’s condition."

"Are you threatening me?" Long Tianliu’s eyes narrowed, her expression inscrutable.

That face, impossible to penetrate, as if disabling her martial arts abilities in the next moment would not be surprising.

Chu Qianli’s smile at the corner of her lips faded, as she responded seriously, "How dare I threaten Your Majesty? However, Beiming is also facing continuous domestic and foreign troubles, and the Emperor hopes not to stir up more issues."

"Additionally, I am only following Prince Yexuan’s instructions to assess the Grand Princess’s character. I don’t have many other concerns. Your Majesty, please understand."

"You came here on Prince Yexuan’s instructions?" Long Tianliu’s previously frosty face finally showed a crack.

Indeed, it was quite unexpected.

Chu Qianli nodded and replied, "The intentions of my emperor are the same as yours, but this matter still requires the agreement of the two individuals concerned. Prince Yexuan, with his aloof nature, might not... accept the Emperor’s arrangement."

"But why have I heard that you were once the Princess Consort to Prince Yexuan?"

If the intelligence network wasn’t so advanced, how could one govern a country?

Chu Qianli was not at all surprised that she knew about her past.

She sincerely said, "The Emperor promised that if I can successfully arrange this marriage between our two nations, I would be granted the position of side consort. Your Majesty should also know that I was previously demoted to concubine and later given a letter of divorce by the Imperial Family."

Long Tianliu didn’t speak, seemingly contemplating.

After a moment, Anshang Palace whispered softly, "Your Majesty, she didn’t lie."

Anshang Palace was reminding Long Tianliu that, for now, they could not pursue the matter any further.

To execute the envoy would ultimately offend Beiming Country.

Moreover, they still didn’t know whether the girl’s words were true or false.

What if the Beiming Emperor had indeed sent her as a negotiator?

Weren’t the desires of the Beiming Emperor and hers the same?

If the two countries were to enter into a marriage alliance, they could join forces and become stronger together.

Previously, when the betrothal envoy Long Ziyue was sent to Beiming, wasn’t it also to win over Feng Yexuan?

But clearly, Long Ziyue had failed.

Now, it all depended on Prince Yexuan’s stance, whether he would help her or Long Hongming.

If he truly sided with Long Hongming, their troubles would only just begin.

Finally, Long Tianliu loosened her grip.

Chu Qianli took two steps back and said indifferently, "Your Majesty, please allow me to take your pulse.

But with just that attempt, Chu Qianli knew very well.

The Empress of Longteng Country possessed extraordinary martial prowess!

She wondered how much strength the Empress had used when she had captured her just then?

Long Tianliu sat down in the chair and stretched out her hand.

Chu Qianli immediately stepped forward to take her pulse.

After a short while, Chu Qianli said, "Your Majesty, your vital energy is deficient, and you likely suffer from frequent dizziness. You should take Thousand-Year Ginseng with septet ingredients in your meals and restore your health slowly."

"Is that all?" Long Tianliu raised an eyebrow.

Chu Qianli immediately felt an immense pressure, her long finger intended to touch her wrist again.

But Long Tianliu no longer gave her the opportunity.

She withdrew her wrist, smiling, "Divine Doctor Chu is truly remarkable in medicine. Then, please go and see how the betrothal envoy can be treated to restore his health."

She didn’t trouble Chu Qianli any further.

Soon, Anshang Palace led Chu Qianli and Long Ziyue to the temporary sleeping quarters of the betrothal envoy.

"Thank you Anshang Palace, and I also need your esteemed self to take care of the Prince for a while. Once I’ve finished examining the betrothal envoy, I will personally return to attend to the Prince."

Anshang Palace merely smiled faintly, seeming to ignore her words.

Once they had brought her there, he and his attendants left.

Long Ziyue was somewhat uneasy: "Ali, leaving the Fifth Prince in the Empress’s palace, could it be...?"

"That old lecher has been coveting Wuya relentlessly, even Long Xinghe has noticed it. Long Xinghe probably won’t let him stay in the palace, to avoid the old lecher’s malicious intentions."

So now, this balance of power is actually to Feng Wuya’s advantage.

For the time being, Wuya should not be in any danger.

"Ali, let’s hurry and see the mother," Long Ziyue urged anxiously.

Chu Qianli nodded and immediately followed her in.

The Commandery Princess was severely ill and still resting in bed at the time.

Upon seeing Long Ziyue enter with Chu Qianli, and when she caught the first glance of Chu Qianli, her eyes widened and she abruptly sat up in bed.

"Your Highness... Your Highness you..."

Chu Qianli’s complexion changed slightly as she promptly stepped forward and bowed, "This one is Chu Qianli, the seventh young lady from the Duke Residence of Beiming Country, greetings to the Princess."
