Chu Qianli knew that making the aloof Prince Xuan humble himself was by no means an easy task.
She knew, she truly knew.
"What if I say that the Medicine People Legion might be related to your mother?"
"She has nothing to do with it!"
Feng Yexuan's expression turned cold and hard in an instant.
"Lier, although her conduct and dealings may not always be satisfactory, nor is she necessarily very kind, the Medicine People Legion not only harms the royal family but also the common people. My mother would not do such a thing!"
Chu Qianli remained silent.
Because, she truly only had doubts in her heart, and indeed, no evidence.
She also believed that Feng Yexuan had not failed to investigate, nor had he failed to consider it.
But, that was his own mother.
He trusted his mother unconditionally.
Just as she could trust Long Xiyue unconditionally.
Everyone was the same.
"I was just speaking casually, Your Highness need not take it to heart."
"Lier!"
Seeing the distant look reappear in her eyes, Feng Yexuan still took a step forward, wanting to hold her hand.
But this time, Chu Qianli took two steps back and dodged him.
"Your Highness, there are too many unresolved issues between us, and I cannot be with you wholeheartedly in a short period."
In fact, these matters might truly be unresolvable.
She wanted to investigate his mother, and his mother wanted to kill her.
A dead knot.
Not due to the status of Consort Zhen, but his birth mother.
It was truly a dead knot.
"Lier, as long as we don't think about it..."
"If we don't think about it, does the problem truly not exist?" It's just self-deception!
"You may leave."
She turned her face away, no longer looking at him.
"Are you still going to push this King away?"
"Your Highness, it's not that I want to push you away, but there are indeed too many problems between us. Why don't you understand this yet?"
If they cannot be of one mind, what is the point of being together?
She and Hua Rong, at least for now, could not truly stand together.
If they were together, as a husband and son, how would he take a stance?
"I can only say that my mother's death back then was likely related to the Medicine People Legion. Moreover, the existence of the Medicine People Legion is a disaster for the common people."
The Medicine People Legion was no longer just a matter for their Northern Underworld Kingdom; those medicine people had also appeared in Dragon Soaring.
Those behind the Medicine People Legion not only desired Northern Underworld but also Dragon Soaring.
As the Empress of Dragon Soaring, she would never allow such a force to continue to grow.
"No matter who is behind the Medicine People Legion, once I find them, I will not show any leniency."
Chu Qianli took a step forward, walking to the edge of the eaves.
She no longer looked back at him.
Her voice was very cold, like the wind tonight.
"If it is truly related to your mother, I will also absolutely not let her off!"
She leaped down and quickly walked towards Feng Dingchu.
Soon, her small figure blended in with the children.
Feng Yexuan stood against the wind, watching her quietly.
The restlessness in his heart gradually subsided.
He actually understood many things in his heart, but at the moment he saw the note she had sent, his heart was too agitated.
After the agitation, he realized that nothing had changed because of a piece of paper.
How he should proceed on the road ahead, perhaps, even he did not know.
He only wished for his dead woman to stay by his side. No matter how the road went, as long as she was there, he could continue.
But he forgot that the dead woman also had her own path to walk.
Ultimately, she could not belong to him completely.
