"Are you trying to imply that Feng Ling has a connection with the medicinal soldier corps?"
Feng Yexuan walked into the guest room and sat on a chair, looking back at her.
With just a simple glance, Chu Qianli could tell that he had no intention of investigating Feng Ling's relationship with the medicinal soldiers.
"Since Your Highness is so biased towards Feng Ling, I shouldn't say more behind her back. Goodbye."
Chu Qianli turned to leave.
"A'li, let's... talk slowly." Feng Wuya chased after her and blocked her path.
"You and Fourth Imperial Brother... there's really no need to interact like this. You can talk things through properly."
They were once such loving spouses, why had they reached this point now?
They had overcome life and death tribulations, and now that things were calm, they were drifting further apart.
Couldn't they try a different way of communicating?
Feng Yexuan was drinking tea, seemingly indifferent to Chu Qianli's intention to leave.
Feng Wuya was also anxious, but Fourth Imperial Brother's way of doing things was not something he could change.
He could only soften his voice and persuade them, "Since everyone can't sleep tonight, let's just say whatever is on our minds."
"If you find my presence here an eyesore, I'll leave first."
Feng Wuya waved his hand, and Tie Xin left first.
He also quickly exited the room, closing the door behind him.
Chu Qianli looked at Feng Yexuan with a somewhat indifferent gaze.
Feng Yexuan still didn't look at her, as if he were solely focused on drinking his tea.
The guest room was quiet.
The windows were all closed, blocking even the sound of the wind.
The only sounds left in the room were their breathing.
"Your Highness, I don't want to argue with you..."
"When did I ever want to argue with you?" Feng Yexuan interrupted her, finally putting down his cup and raising his eyes.
His gaze fell upon her.
"When did I ever not want to reconcile with you?"
But each time, she refused him.
Each time, she cruelly reminded him that they were already separated.
"Your Highness thinks that, given our current situation, we can still reconcile?"
He wouldn't allow her to investigate the person she suspected, nor would he even entertain the thought of her suspicion.
If they weren't of one mind, how could they walk the same path?
"Are you still angry with me?" he raised an eyebrow. "That night, Ninth Imperial Uncle was by your side, and you didn't need me at all."
"So, you should have just left with your woman?" As soon as Chu Qianli said this, she regretted it.
Speaking like this made her sound like she was jealous!
Why should she be jealous of Feng Ling!
She didn't care at all.
"Feng Ling is not my woman."
Feng Yexuan's chiseled face showed no change.
When Feng Ling was mentioned, there was no unusual emotion, but there was also no sign of displeasure.
Overall, Feng Ling was just a subordinate to him.
Of course, the most important point was that the person was his mother's, not affiliated with him.
Chu Qianli adjusted her mood and didn't want to have too much prejudice against Feng Ling on this matter.
She said faintly, "That day in the Medicinal Soldier Valley, before you arrived, I saw Feng Ling talking with a man in black. After the man in black left, I wanted to pursue him, but Feng Ling stopped me."
"Afterward, Feng Ling cast an illusion spell on me, which is why I accidentally..."
"Since you say her illusion spells are very powerful, why weren't you ultimately harmed by her illusion?" Feng Yexuan's voice was surprisingly cold.
Chu Qianli's eyes darkened, and she became angry. "Your Highness Xuan, do you think I'm lying?"
