Chu Feiyan felt extremely wronged: "She hurt me, and you're still helping her! Gui Tong, I'm not speaking to you anymore!"
She stomped her foot and turned to leave.
Gui Tong followed behind her, not chasing.
He only turned and went to another chamber after making sure she entered safely.
Prince Hao's room.
Chu Qianli had changed a lot since the last time they met.
Her internal energy was now profound, beyond the capabilities of their experts.
The plan needed to be changed...
...
After Gui Tong left, Chu Feiyan was even more furious, almost spitting blood.
She had no one to vent her anger on.
She knew her status could not compare to that of an Empress.
It was precisely because she knew this that she felt even worse.
Why was she always suppressed by Chu Qianli?
Last time, during the concubine selection大会, she only realized after the fact that her inexplicable "elimination" meant that titles like Princess Feiyan or Princess Pingyue were utterly insignificant in Prince Xuan's eyes.
In Prince Xuan's eyes, from beginning to end, there was only Chu Qianli.
The two of them were just sulking back then!
The girls who participated in the concubine selection were merely tools for them to vent their frustrations!
If it were any other man, she would have been enraged and found a way to kill him to vent her hatred.
But he was the peerlessly handsome, high and mighty Prince Xuan!
The man desired by all the princesses and county princesses of every nation!
Even knowing that Prince Xuan had no intention towards her, she still wanted him!
She wanted him not just because she liked him, but because he was the ultimate symbol of supreme authority!
As long as she married Prince Xuan, who in Nanming would dare to look down on her in the future?
All women would only look at her with envy, jealousy, and hatred.
She wanted Prince Xuan!
No matter what, she had to marry Feng Yexuan!
As she was suffering from a headache and blurred vision from anger, Chu Feiyan faintly heard someone calling her name.
A deep, magnetic, and melodious baritone that, upon hearing it, would make any woman completely lose herself.
Prince Xuan...
Chu Feiyan pushed open the window.
In the not-so-bright backyard, a figure appeared, indistinct.
She couldn't see clearly, but her feeling was incredibly strong.
It was truly Feng Yexuan!
"Your Highness..."
But he turned as if to leave.
"Your Highness!" Chu Feiyan was anxious and immediately climbed out the window, chasing after him.
Feng Yexuan's steps seemed unhurried, and several times she thought she was about to catch up to him.
But each time, just as she was about to touch him, he would suddenly quicken his pace.
"Your Highness, wait for me..."
Chu Feiyan was very anxious; the feeling of being within reach yet always unable to grasp him was tormenting her, causing unspeakable distress.
"Your Highness... wait for me!"
Seeing Feng Yexuan standing by the lake, Chu Feiyan's eyes welled up, and she rushed towards him: "Your Highness..."
...
Feng Qihe and Feng Yexuan left the Empress's chambers shortly after.
Feng Yexuan's stated purpose for visiting was to comfort the Empress, but both the Empress and Prince He knew who he had truly come for.
Feng Qihe also knew he couldn't stop him, so being able to hinder his pursuit of Chu Qianli was already enough to satisfy him.
He was simply too indignant.
Not long after Chu Qianli left, both of them departed.
But Chu Qianli never expected that Feng Yexuan would also arrive at Prince Xiaoyao's mansion.
Feng Wuya smiled awkwardly: "It's still... I feel I should inform Fourth Imperial Brother."
Chu Qianli remained noncommittal. He was merely worried about her safety in the palace, and there was no need to blame him.
She looked back at Feng Yexuan: "Does Your Highness Prince Xuan still remember when we were attacked by the poisoned people, and some of them used illusions, which even affected Your Highness?"
