Chapter 60 Is this enchantress truly unafraid of death?

Chapter 60: Chapter 60 Is this enchantress truly unafraid of death?

"What did you say?"

Originally, because the two elders had pleaded so passionately, the Emperor also felt that his previous order was perhaps made somewhat in haste and anger.

Even if he truly hated Chu Qianli to the bone, he couldn’t simply beat her to death with sticks in front of two high officials with military power.

Just now, he had indeed been extremely angry!

But he had not anticipated that the two would plead on her behalf.

Chu Qianli not only showed no remorse, but she also dared to openly defy him!

The fury that the Emperor had barely suppressed suddenly surged up again.

"Chu Qianli, you dare..."

"Qianli!"

"Xiaoqi!"

"First, I have not stolen Yu Linglong’s prescription; it is Yu Linglong who has falsely accused me. I am innocent!"

"Second, I did not escape from prison tonight; it was someone else’s arrangement, aiming to put me to death!"

"The men in black who took me out were not trying to save me; on the contrary, they were trying to kill me, and then pin the crime on the Duke Residence."

"Prince Fourteen can testify to this!"

Feng Jinrui took a step forward, meeting the Emperor’s gaze, and spoke calmly, "I can attest to this matter. Those men in black were not there to rescue the Princess of Xuan; they were there to assassinate her."

Assassination!

That’s not at all the same as escaping from jail!

To speak unpleasantly, it’s also a failure of the Imperial Family’s Sky Prison security.

To delve deeper, it indicates inadequate protection!

You should know, prisoners also need to be protected; that’s the responsibility of the jailers!

The Empress Dowager naturally trusted Feng Jinrui.

Only, she did not understand why this matter would involve him.

"Ruirui, why did you come back with her then?"

"Loyal Brother wished to see the Princess of Xuan, and I was coming to beseech Father to spare her. Unexpectedly, Father was not present."

"I then went to visit the Princess of Xuan in Sky Prison and just happened to discover this affair, saving her in the process."

Feng Jinrui’s gaze returned to the Emperor’s face.

He said, "Father, this matter was indeed not the Princess of Xuan’s fault. I am willing to stake my life on it as an assurance to Father!"

The Emperor’s expression darkened.

The Empress Dowager looked helpless.

This foolish child, unaware of worldly ways and unaware of courtly strategy.

Knowing nothing, yet because of this integrity, he forced the Emperor to "believe" him on the spot.

Would the Emperor really not care for his own son’s life?

Chu Qianli also felt like laughing.

This Prince Fourteen was indeed straightforward to the point of being endearing!

But it seemed that the charge of "escaping from prison" against her would not hold.

The Emperor pursed his lips and, looking at Chu Qianli again, still appeared rather displeased.

"Even if Chu Qianli has not escaped from prison, her theft of Yu Linglong’s prescription..."

"Yu Linglong simply cannot cure the Prince of Xuan." Chu Qianli cut him off.

Everyone in the room gasped, daring not to breathe too heavily.

The Duke and the Marquess of Dingbei felt their hearts sink, both anxious and panicked.

This reckless girl, speaking with such a tone, was she not afraid that the Emperor would punish her again?

The Emperor truly got angry again.

Never before had a young girl dared to be so unruly in his presence!

Did she understand nothing of propriety?

The Empress Dowager was also stunned.

She had long heard that this Seventh Miss was uneducated and unrestrained.

But she had not imagined that she would actually be foolish enough to be so insolent even in the presence of Imperial Family members!

Did she truly have no fear of death?

"Enchantress..." Feng Jinrui tried to remind her in a low voice.

But Chu Qianli remained indifferent, facing the Emperor with a composed expression.

"Yu Linglong could never cure the Prince of Xuan, because the prescription was of my own creation. Yu Linglong has slandered me and sought to deceive the public with a stolen name!"

"She doesn’t even know what medicine I used, yet she dares to take credit for it! If she can cure the Prince of Xuan, she can have my head!"
