Chapter 986: Chapter 985: I Just Love to Hear You Say It Personally

Fu Long didn’t answer Chu Qianli’s question. Instead, she asked him, "Do you still wish to trust Ziyue? Ziyue’s favorite person is you."

Fu Long looked at her seriously, "If you trust him, then I trust him; if you don’t, I don’t either."

He truly was the person least likely to ever betray her.

Chu Qianli never doubted his sincerity.

Never had there been any need to doubt.

"Perhaps, it has nothing to do with betrayal or not. Since the Imperial Decree is real, then the throne should have belonged to her and her mother from the very beginning."

What exactly had happened back then, they didn’t know now, nor did the citizens of Longteng Country.

Fu Long raised an eyebrow, "You don’t harbor any hatred?"

"Why should I hate? If indeed my great-grandmother had stolen Long Hongming’s throne, then if anyone should hate, it ought to be Ziyue hating me."

Still, she didn’t believe Ziyue would hate her.

Even now that Long Ziyue was the Empress of Longteng, even though they seemed to have become enemies.

But at least, Chu Qianli didn’t need to resent anyone. The only thing she needed to do was to uncover the truth behind the past.

"What if Long Ziyue, in collaboration with Wei Xian, had premeditated all of this? Would you not hate them?"

Although Fu Long was also willing to believe in Long Ziyue, the current fact was that the national letter indeed came from Long Ziyue’s hand.

Even if she was pressured and compelled by Wei Xian, it was unquestionably Long Ziyue who wrote the letter.

"Then let’s wait for the day when the truth is fully revealed before we worry about these matters."

Chu Qianli adjusted her hat brim.

The street was starting to bustle, and the Royal Army was conducting a search.

"They must have already been to Prince Xiaoyao Residence."

Fu Long also lowered his voice, whispering, "There might be movements on Prince Xiaoyao’s part."

"There won’t be; I’ve instructed Star River to persuade him not to act recklessly."

"What’s your next step?" Even the Royal Army had been dispatched; it was apparent that the Beiming Emperor had accepted the national letter from the Empress of Longteng.

Now, she was wanted in collaboration with Longteng’s Vanguard Army.

"It’s Minghong." Fu Long’s eyes darkened.

Seeing the person who had fought shoulder to shoulder with him now in the position of an enemy, leading the team to capture Ali, was painful for him.

Not to mention how Chu Qianli must feel, as the one directly involved.

"Ali..."

"It’s just a matter of serving different masters. I don’t care; he has always been loyal to Wei Qiong, a good subordinate."

Chu Qianli cast her gaze downward.

The team leader indeed was Minghong, dressed in full military regalia.

As Wei Qiong’s Vanguard Army, he had now arrived in the Imperial City, which meant Wei Qiong’s own arrival was not far off.

"Fu Long, you head back to the palace first. If I don’t seek you out in the near future, don’t come to meet me," she said.

"Are you worried about drawing unwanted attention to me?" Fu Long frowned, visibly displeased, "Do you think I’m afraid?"

"Have you lost your mind or taken the wrong medication?"

Chu Qianli was almost tempted to roll her eyes at him, "I need you to keep me informed about the palace’s news at all times. If something happens to you, who will help me?"

Fu Long couldn’t help but smile again.

"I just love hearing you say out loud how important I am."

"Get lost."

"...Can’t you be a little more gentle?"

Would it kill her to say a few kind words? This girl’s tongue was definitely not the sweetest!

...Fu Long left.

Chu Qianli pushed down her hat once more and then descended the stairs of the teahouse. Turning around, she entered a desolate alley nearby, intending to pass through and leave the noisy streets far behind.

Unexpectedly, before she could leave the alley, a tall, dark figure blocked the end of the narrow path.
