Chapter 898: Chapter 897: His Life

What exactly happened that year, in fact, not many people knew.

Feng Wuya knew because, on one or two occasions when the Prince was drunk, half-asleep and half-awake, he asked the Empress Dowager why she wanted him dead.

"So, was it really the Empress Dowager who wanted to kill him back then? Had she even made her move before the Imperial Family claimed that the Ninth Prince left the Imperial Family for the love of a beautiful woman, wandering the four seas?"

"That’s right, in reality, the Ninth Prince had been fighting in wars since his youth, never once accompanied by a young maiden."

Feng Wuya looked at the distant figure and felt a sourness in his heart.

"The Ninth Prince rarely drank because he knew that alcohol could make him say the wrong things."

Chu Qianli also knew that Feng Dingchu was definitely not the kind of person who would indulge himself.

But this time, the blow was too great.

"Maybe it’s because... the Empress Dowager is no longer here."

She didn’t plan on telling Wuya about the Empress Dowager trying to poison Feng Dingchu again—that was too frightening!

In fact, her thoughts were the same as Long Xinghe’s—Wuya’s life was too pure and clean. If possible, they didn’t want to tarnish his life.

Even if it was just a bit of dirt, they didn’t want to leave a trace in his memory.

Feng Wuya thought of going over, but Chu Qianli pulled him back, "Don’t disturb him now, his mood has been very bad these past couple of days, let him rest on his own."

"When did you two... get this close?"

That the Ninth Prince would seek Ali out for a drink when he was in a bad mood was somewhat unexpected for Feng Wuya.

For so many years, the Ninth Prince had no friends.

"By a twist of fate, he gave me a new face and we exchanged a few words from time to time."

As for the fact that Feng Dingchu returned poisoned, Chu Qianli didn’t plan to say much for the time being.

"Since you too are unaware of the past events, let’s not talk about this matter for now."

Chu Qianli looked up at the sky and said lightly, "It’s getting late, Wuya, you should rest early."

"But the Ninth Prince, he..."

"I will watch over him." Seeing some misunderstanding in Wuya’s eyes, Chu Qianli frowned and said, "You haven’t rested well yourself for the past three days, go back and rest early."

She could see he was severely sleep-deprived.

Chu Qianli consoled, "The Empress Dowager was of advanced age, it was bound to happen someday. Take care."

"I know." Feng Wuya’s expression remained somewhat dim.

The Imperial Family is said to be heartless, but the Empress Dowager had always taken special care of him since he was young.

The Imperial Family, is not really heartless, it’s just that the Empress Dowager towards the Ninth Prince...

Feng Wuya looked up, his gaze still locked on Feng Dingchu.

The Imperial Family has hearts, too, it’s just that they were too cruel to him.

Hopefully, from now on, the Ninth Prince can truly get better...

...

That night, Feng Dingchu was intoxicated, and it was Chu Qianli who personally saw him off to rest.

She did not leave either, sleeping all night on the long chair outside his bedroom.

The chair was cold and hard, hurting her bones.

Despite the harsh conditions, she stayed by Feng Dingchu’s side, fearing most of all that he might run out in the middle of the night and give up on himself.

Because in his eyes, there was still not a glimmer of vitality.

To put it plainly, Chu Qianli was very afraid he might think of ending his life.

Fortunately, that night Feng Dingchu slept relatively peacefully, probably due to the effects of alcohol.

But who knows when his mood will completely improve.

The next morning, a visitor came to Prince Xiaoyao Residence looking for Chu Qianli.

Chu Qianli had Fu Ning attend to Feng Dingchu while she hurried out.

But before she could leave the yard, the person arrived.
