Chapter 602: Chapter 601: Won’t You Even Give Me a Chance to Speak?

Fu Ning’s assassination attempt on Chu Qianli quickly came to Yexuan’s attention.

"Fu Ning is a spy from Nanming Country?" Even Leng Ji felt that this was impossible!

But Chu Qianli insisted, "That’s right, we all were mistaken about her! Tonight, she nearly killed me."

Chu Qianli, looking at Yexuan, who sat aside and had been silent all along, spoke solemnly, "Yexuan, you must issue a kill-on-sight order. Let your people take her life on sight, without exception."

A kill-on-sight order!

Leng Ji was shocked and immediately said, "Prince, this must not be done lightly. Once a kill-on-sight order is issued, there can be no rest until death! But we have not yet seen Fu Ning, nor have we heard a single word from her!"

Even a criminal deserves a chance to plead their case.

Perhaps it was all a misunderstanding?

If a kill-on-sight order were issued, then what room would there be for misunderstanding? To take a life upon sight, without giving even a chance to explain!

"Prince, Fu Ning has been through life and death with us. We all share bonds of loyalty. How could she possibly..."

"So what you’re saying is, if Fu Ning isn’t a spy, then I am?" Chu Qianli’s face was extremely unpleasant.

Staring at Leng Ji, she said in anger, "Are you questioning my word?"

"This subordinate dares not!" She even pulled out the royal "we." In terms of status, was there any room for him to speak here?

But still...

"Yexuan, I’ve gone through so much hardship to reach my position today, and finally, I have a chance to come back and marry you."

In Chu Qianli’s eyes, what was Leng Ji? He didn’t even have the qualification to speak to her.

In her eyes, there was only Yexuan: "In the past, how much humiliation have I suffered, how many dangers have I faced? Which time was it not surviving in blood under the knife’s edge?"

"So many around me have desired my life, what’s one more person like Fu Ning today?"

"What truly pains me is that I treated her like a sister, but she was after my life!"

She looked at Yexuan, the corners of her eyes moist.

"Yexuan, it is already a miracle that I have lived until now. But I can’t take this kind of grievance any longer, I don’t want to be heartbroken again, nor do I want to see those who have wounded my heart!"

...In the end, Prince Yexuan still issued the kill-on-sight order.

He couldn’t bear to see his woman so heartbroken anymore.

The most terrifying part was that among those who had recently made her sad was another person, himself!

Yexuan had been very troubled these past two days, and Leng Ji had never seen him so troubled before.

Was reuniting with the Empress truly a joyous occasion?

Why, since their reunion, had he never once seen the Prince smile joyfully?

After Chu Qianli left, Leng Ji looked at Yexuan. Although he knew he was overstepping, he was really worried.

"Prince, Fu Ning has been through birth and death with us for so long. For the Empress, she nearly lost her life several times. How could she possibly betray Her Majesty?"

"So, you would rather believe there is disloyalty in Lili?" Yexuan’s voice sounded somewhat weak.

Leng Ji panicked at once and hurriedly said, "How would I dare?"

"If it isn’t a problem with Lili, then it must be with Fu Ning."

Yexuan leaned back in his chair and, even at this moment, his face bore an exhausted expression.

His body was not tired, but his heart was utterly weary.

What was frustrating was that he didn’t even know what exactly was tiring him out.

"But Prince, shouldn’t we at least give Fu Ning a chance to speak for herself?"

A kill-on-sight order, once issued, would likely bring back only a corpse.

Why couldn’t someone who had been through adversity with them have the right to explain themselves in front of them?

"Prince..."

Yexuan waved his hand dismissively, his expression indifferent, "If you can find her before the killing begins, I will give her a chance to speak."
