Chapter 610: Chapter 609: Ali, Not a Name You Can Casually Call

Xiaoyao was very hesitant.

She knew that continuing to deceive him would definitely anger him.

When that happened, it wouldn’t matter if she was the one in trouble; she feared that Fu Ning, who was bedridden and seriously ill, would suffer.

However, Prince Yexuan knew that Fu Ning was right here but chose not to expose her.

Could this mean that the Prince before her... wasn’t entirely a bad person?

"Prince, I can’t say," Xiaoyao finally faced his gaze, sincerely saying, "I have promised my master that I must not reveal any news."

"I am someone who values promises, Prince. If you press me further, I can only continue to deceive you with various excuses. Do you wish to hear lies?"

This time, Xiaoyao was truly sincere, lacking any intention of deceit.

If she had promised not to speak, then she must absolutely refrain from doing so; even if it cost her life, she couldn’t break her silence.

"Why is the Prince so insistent on knowing? It really isn’t much related to you! Even if my master is your enemy, my presence by his side hasn’t been of much influence in avenging you."

"I also believe that the Prince is not the type of person who would exploit a weak woman like me to deal with his enemies. Prince, you are a gentleman!"

"So, can’t you simply not ask, Prince?"

Feng Yexuan only wanted to scoff.

This audacious girl fitted him with such a tall hat; isn’t she just reminding him that he mustn’t use her to get back at Jian Wuying?

"This Prince holds no grudge against an assassin."

Everybody has their own ambitions; after all, a bird dies for food.

"However, should he dare to harm my people again, and if this Prince catches him, he will be shown no mercy!"

"My master won’t harm the Empress again, he never intended to hurt your Lili."

Yet, Feng Yexuan’s gaze suddenly darkened: "How would you know? Did he not hurt Lili?"

"I just know... perhaps there’s been a misunderstanding."

Based on her understanding of her master, back then, her master harbored no killing intent towards Chu Qianli.

She could easily distinguish her master’s killing aura.

There truly was none.

But Feng Yexuan clenched the cup tightly, his brooding eyes seemingly concealing many things.

"Prince..."

"Pour me tea." He did not want to listen to her speak right now.

In his heart, there were too many things.

Xiaoyao poured him another cup.

Feng Yexuan drank it all in one gulp.

Afterward, he suddenly put down the cup with a clap and stood up.

"Prince?" Xiaoyao was somewhat puzzled. The Prince’s mood seemed too erratic, had she said something wrong again just now?

Feng Yexuan left, carrying with him an aura of cold detachment.

After confirming his departure, Xiaoyao returned to the bedside and quickly pulled back the covers for Fu Ning.

The person was still unconscious, the poison not yet cleared.

She immediately took out a silver needle and continued to administer acupuncture to draw the poison...

...

Early the next morning, after receiving the news, Leader Fu Long rushed over in a hurry.

"Ali, Fu Ning couldn’t possibly be a Nanming spy! She has been learning from her master since she was young, and she’s never been to Nanming Country; how could she be a spy?"

Chu Qianli was getting her nails done with the help of her maids.

Glancing at Fu Long standing not far away, her bright red lips opened slightly, "If she tried to assassinate me, what is she if not a spy?"

"How could Fu Ning possibly attempt to assassinate you?"

Even though Fu Ning had harbored suspicions about Chu Qianli before, no matter how doubtful, she would never commit such an outrageous act.

"Ali..."

"Fu Long, don’t forget your status; you’re just a leader of the guards," Chu Qianli, whose mood had been poor all of last night, affecting her sleep quality, was still in a bad mood.

Losing her usual patience with Fu Long, she stated, "And I am the Empress. ’Ali’ is not a name you can casually call me!"
