Chapter 858: Chapter 857: Because, Is He Really from Your Imperial Family?

"When did it happen? Speak!"

Feng Yexuan’s voice, somewhat frantic, revealed both anger and a full surge of excitement!

"It happened today." Chu Qianli sounded somewhat helpless, "Haven’t I had the chance to tell you yet?"

"But you had the chance to tell Feng Qihe?" That was the real reason for his anger!

She had reverted to her own face but didn’t come to him first thing!

What, exactly, was she thinking in her heart?

"Is that man that important to you?"

Chu Qianli really wanted to roll her eyes.

This wasn’t about who was important and who wasn’t, but rather... "I injured your mother; shouldn’t I tell you about that first?"

It was a true dilemma. It was apparent that though he wasn’t very close to his mother, she was still his biological mother!

Feng Yexuan, as a person, actually valued family ties greatly, she could see that.

Otherwise, despite the Emperor constantly scheming against him, would he still have treated the Emperor as his own father and served him loyally?

With Prince Yexuan’s temperament, if not for the concern for family ties, he might have turned his face against him long ago, or even led troops back to attack the Imperial City.

He certainly wasn’t lacking in ability.

But now, with his real mother back, did his loyalty align more with mother or father?

Somehow, Chu Qianli felt that Hua Rong’s return meant she was ready to contend with the Emperor.

Don’t ask her why she knew; it was just a sixth sense.

But her sixth sense was always accurate.

"Yu Linglong is dead," she continued.

Feng Yexuan’s brows furrowed slightly, "Dead?"

"Yes, drowned. However, originally, it should have been us who drowned. She was just implicated."

"Speak clearly!" Feng Yexuan’s arm tightened, pulling her even more firmly into his embrace.

What did she mean it ’originally should have been them’ who drowned? Did she face so many perils today?

"Who tried to drown you?"

"What do you think?" This was actually one of the reasons Chu Qianli hadn’t sought him out immediately.

He and Hua Rong were hiding secrets; in this regard, she was an outsider.

In the end, she held some resentment. She had thought she was the closest person to him.

But now, someone even closer had appeared.

To say she wasn’t jealous would be a lie.

After all, it seemed like they were conspirators.

And she was the superfluous one—only those who have tasted that bitterness would understand how it feels.

Feng Yexuan felt a heavy heart.

He kept holding her tightly, but his ten fingers were clenched taut.

Seeing him this way, the frustration Chu Qianli had been holding in her heart couldn’t help but dissipate.

She was always a bit soft-hearted. He had his unavoidable difficulties; after all, that woman was his biological mother.

Yet this time, she couldn’t stand unreservedly by his side, because his mother wanted her life.

And he, unable to clarify the matter of his mother to her, left her unsure of even where to begin her defenses.

Without a word, Feng Yexuan just held her tightly, pressing her head against his chest.

Chu Qianli could feel his heavy breath and the sound of his heartbeat, exceptionally clear by her ear.

"You said... ’us’?" After a long while, he finally remembered to ask the question.

Lowering his head, he lifted her face and carefully admired it for a while before saying, "Did Wu Chenzi come to you?"

Chu Qianli nodded.

But at the moment she nodded, she distinctly felt Feng Yexuan’s robust figure suddenly tense.

Her brows furrowed slightly, meeting his gaze, "Why are you so suddenly distressed? Because Achu is truly a person of your Imperial Family?"
