Chapter 917: Chapter 916: They’ve Already Made the First Move

Fen Ling, she was the woman who yesterday followed by Yexuan’s side, donning armor to go on an expedition to fight the bandits from the Shanhu Gang.

Why wasn’t she in the troop last night?

According to the message from Shiyi, it seemed that this Miss Fen Ling got injured yesterday while fighting against the bandits and had to leave the front line to rest in the rear.

But afterward, no one saw her.

So, the woman in black who met with the Gang Leader inside the Shanhu Gang’s camp yesterday and the one mixed within the bandit troops, who shot a cold arrow at her, attempting to kill her, was that Fen Ling?

Did she leave the troop by chance, or was it prearranged?

If it really was Fen Ling, then it meant someone close to Yexuan was secretly meeting with his enemy, covertly communicating, and that would complicate matters significantly.

"Miss, should we tell Prince Yexuan about this?"

Shiyi, working under Chu Qianli, naturally investigated Chu Qianli and Yexuan’s relationship thoroughly.

Of course, what their relationship is now, only the two of them really know.

What Shiyi knew were only the relations that were public.

"We don’t have evidence to prove that the person who met with the Shanhu Gang Leader was Fen Ling, so even if we tell Yexuan, he may not believe it."

"Given your relationship with him, wouldn’t Prince Yexuan believe you?" Shiyi was somewhat surprised.

Chu Qianli didn’t respond, but simply wrote a note that read "Beware of traitors amongst you" and had Shiyi deliver it to Yexuan.

"Prince Yexuan isn’t as foolish as we imagine. Some things are not as simple as they appear to us."

All necessary warnings had been given; whether to believe them or not was up to Yexuan himself.

...The note quickly ended up in Yexuan’s hands.

Prince Yexuan, after seeing the note, was not particularly concerned about traitors in his midst.

Traitors had never been scarce around him.

What intrigued him more was, "Who gave you this note?"

Leng Ji promptly replied, "A brother."

With a command from Leng Ji, the brother waiting outside came in, "Reporting to Prince, this note was found in your servant’s pocket."

Yexuan narrowed his eyes.

That woman had gained more remarkable people around her, even managing to infiltrate his military camp and, unnoticed, deliver something directly into his hands.

Even though Yu Linglong had stolen her identity, she couldn’t build up her forces in the Imperial City over such a long time.

But this woman, in terms of networking and capabilities, was incomparable to a hundred Yu Linglongs.

"Dismissed."

Leng Ji immediately ordered the soldier to leave.

He looked at Yexuan with some unease, "Prince, our military camp..."

"Let it be."

"But..."

"She reminded me that there are traitors around me."

"In Miss Chu’s heart, there’s still a place for the Prince. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have specially ordered someone to come and warn you."

Leng Ji breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that they weren’t fighting.

Besides, wasn’t this Miss Chu’s way of extending an olive branch to their Prince?

"Prince, maybe Miss is giving you an excuse to go and see her, right?"

Yexuan remained silent, but a glint of pleasure flickered across his dark, ink-like eyes.

This hint of delight was indeed rare on his usually icy countenance!

Seizing the moment, Leng Ji eagerly suggested, "Miss Chu has also come to Qiansui City. Prince, why not see her tonight?"

"It was her who wanted to break up with me, what’s the point in seeing her?" But deep down, he was already eager.

Leng Ji saw right through his thoughts and hurriedly said, "Miss Chu has taken the initiative to show goodwill. If you don’t go, wouldn’t it seem rather ungallant, Prince? Wouldn’t you agree?"
