Chapter 960: Chapter 959: Don’t Want to Entangle with Any of Them

How clever was the Empress?

Feng Yexuan had never shown much respect to her as he did to his own mother.

Tonight’s visit claiming to console her was merely because he knew that Chu Qianli had been "invited" by her into the Imperial City, and he came to retrieve her.

She just hadn’t expected that Feng Yexuan had already been here for two hours.

Tonight’s illness was severe, especially with Hehe continuously by her side, causing her to neglect Feng Yexuan.

He claimed he came for her, but the Empress knew that if she were here tonight, making things difficult for Chu Qianli, this Prince Yexuan would have gone mad.

Didn’t she care?

No, she was deeply concerned! No matter how much she pretended not to, she couldn’t fool herself!

Chu Qianli was always Feng Yexuan’s greatest weakness, and that weakness needed to be well maintained.

The Empress smiled lightly, "Feiyan has been staying in the palace for the past two days and has often talked about visiting you. Had you not been to Qiansui City, Princess Feiyan might have wished to move directly into your Prince Residence."

"Xuanxuan, you should know that the girls from Nanming Country are not as shy and reserved as our Beiming girls; they are much more enthusiastic and generous."

"You, too, should be warmer to them, and don’t neglect the young lady."

Feng Yexuan responded indifferently, "Your son understands."

"The palace is fine now, Xuanxuan, you should go back and rest early." The Empress waved her hand.

Feng Yexuan’s expression remained unchanged as he calmly said, "I came tonight to greet my mother and to take Lili to Prince Xiaoyao Residence for a medical consultation for the fifth prince."

"How is Wuya feeling? Is he uncomfortable again?"

Chu Qianli packed up her medical kit and came out from behind the screen.

She knew clearly, however, that Feng Yexuan’s words were just an excuse to leave with her.

Although she still harbored some resentment towards Feng Yexuan, she was not a capricious person.

Leaving now with Feng Yexuan was certainly better than staying with Feng Qihe.

Tonight, while treating the Empress, as a doctor, she didn’t regret her actions. However, the Empress had executed two palace maids because of it, an act that utterly disgusted her.

She would never treat this woman again!

"It’s just a chronic condition, but he is accustomed to your treatments."

Feng Yexuan’s gaze swept gently across her face, seemingly not lingering.

It seemed as if he truly came just to take her to see Feng Wuya for a consultation.

"Since that’s the case, I’ll have someone send Lili to Prince Xiaoyao Residence."

Feng Qihe, unwilling to be outdone, stepped forward and stood beside Chu Qianli.

"No matter what, Lili was once my fiancee."

Mentioning this, Feng Qihe was internally very upset, but now was not the time to act on that.

He couldn’t personally send her, and he wouldn’t let Feng Yexuan do so either!

"Fourth prince, to avoid tarnishing Lili’s reputation, let us not trouble you to send her. It’s best if my mother’s people take her back,"

"No need, I’m familiar with the roads of the Imperial City, and my people are just outside the palace. I will leave on my own."

Chu Qianli bowed and turned to leave.

Her dignified demeanor showed no trace of a young girl’s shyness.

Leaving behind two men who were unwilling to yield to each other, staring outside the sleeping quarters.

She didn’t want to entangle with either man.

Not now, nor in the future.

After watching her leave, Feng Yexuan was about to take his leave when Feng Qihe spoke, "Having gone to Qiansui City, elder brother has many questions to ask you, fourth prince. How about, elder brother accompanies you out to discuss them?"
