Chapter 831: Chapter 830: This Time, We’ve Really Met Our Match!

"What did you say?" Chu Qianli’s fingertips trembled, and the chopsticks almost slipped from her fingers.

Being forced to take poison and commit suicide? Wasn’t that the Emperor’s decree of execution?

Why would it be so?

It was worlds apart from what she had imagined!

Could it not be the favoring of all concubines, the unmatched beauty?

Why was it being forced by a minister to take poison and commit suicide?

"This, I’m not very clear about, but, I’m certain that Hua Rong did commit suicide by poison."

Although the version everyone heard was that Hua Rong’s body was ruined when giving birth to the fourteenth prince and later she passed away from illness.

But Fu Long knew the real truth, and naturally, he had his ways of finding it out.

However, this matter, if it were not for speaking to Ali, he would not mention it to anyone else.

But since Ali could ask, she must have her reasons.

He would never lie to Chu Qianli.

"But she... wasn’t she exclusively favored by the Emperor? Why... assassination?" Chu Qianli’s voice was already very low.

Except for Fu Long who was very close to her, no one else could hear.

Fu Long also spoke in a low voice, quietly saying, "That point, not many people knew back then, and we who heard bits and pieces surely know even less."

"However, I... by chance, met the old Palace Attendant who had delivered the poisoned wine back then, though now, that person is no longer alive."

Chu Qianli was not surprised by this at all.

Since it was a matter that must not be exposed, many people who knew about it back then were naturally no longer alive.

The Emperor always had to silence people.

As for why Fu Long was still alive, it was clearly because the Emperor did not know that Fu Long was aware of this matter.

"Don’t talk nonsense."

Chu Qianli sat up straight, not continuing to ask.

She just picked up her chopsticks and made a few marks on the table.

Fu Long was startled when he saw this.

Looking back at Chu Qianli, she just nodded her head and did not speak.

Fu Long’s fingertips holding his chopsticks tightened again.

Hua Rong was still alive.

Since Ali knew, it could only mean that Hua Rong, she had come back.

Yexuan knew too, right?

Looking again at Chu Qianli, she began to eat her noodles quietly, not saying anything more.

Around them, the crowded throng bustled as usual, seemingly no different from usual.

But Chu Qianli always felt that in the air, a faintly strange undercurrent lingered.

After finishing her noodles, she had Fu Long leave.

Before Fu Long left, he reminded her, "Be careful yourself."

From the beginning of the meal, Ali’s expression seemed somewhat unusual.

Although her face was smiling, there was a seriousness between her brows.

Fu Long originally did not want to leave, but Chu Qianli had other matters needing his assistance.

The two of them talked about all sorts of random subjects from one corner of the earth to another, but their communication was not understood by others.

That random chatter concealed plenty of information.

Fu Long understood.

After Fu Long left, Chu Qianli settled the bill and also stood up to leave.

In the opposite direction, she was actually heading back to the Prince Residence.

This sly girl really knew how to seek protection!

Hua Rong’s expression was solemn upon discovering Chu Qianli’s intent, no longer wishing to hide, she stepped forward with a pace that seemed slow but was faster than anyone else, blocking her path.

"Do you still want to go back and seek Prince Yexuan’s protection?"

Chu Qianli had not expected her to dare show herself in broad daylight.

She had thought that Hua Rong always lived in the shadows, not daring to appear so brazenly.

Another miscalculation!

Hua Rong’s actions were always surprising, and this time, she really met her match, completely unable to guess her schemes.

"I didn’t know Senior was looking for me, what..."

Chu Qianli halted, her gaze moving past Hua Rong, landing not far behind her, her face full of amazement: "Yexuan?"
