Chu Qianli arrived with Feng Qihe.
At the archway marking the entrance to the Imperial Garden, the two parties encountered each other.
The moment Feng Yexuan laid eyes on the woman, his gaze was fixed.
Beautiful! Impossibly beautiful!
This was the true beauty of his dead woman. Before, even with this face, Yu Linglong couldn't capture even a tenth of her divine charm.
But tonight, it was still Yu Linglong, so why did she feel so different?
Feng Yexuan walked towards them, each step laden with doubt, his pace somewhat heavy.
Feng Qihe, on the other hand, was in a mood to watch a good show. While Chu Qianli wasn't paying attention, he moved a few steps closer to her.
Of course, if he were to embrace or hold her, Feng Qihe didn't know if this dead girl would send him flying with a single palm strike.
His蛊毒 (gǔ dú - poison) had just been removed, and his body was still somewhat weak.
At this moment, he couldn't withstand Chu Qianli's heavy palm.
"Fourth Imperial Brother, we meet again." Before Feng Yexuan could get close to Chu Qianli, Feng Qihe stepped forward, blocking Chu Qianli's path.
"What? Didn't Fourth Imperial Brother already give up on Li'er? Now, you want to provoke this King's fiancée?"
His fiancée!
Hadn't this matter been discussed before the Emperor?
The Emperor had already agreed to the marriage between Prince He and Chu Qianli, the Empress of the Dragon Ascending Kingdom.
This matter had been made known throughout the entire Imperial City.
Everyone was greatly shocked, but since Prince Xuan hadn't made a fuss, others could only watch the show.
Even now, many people couldn't understand why Chu Qianli had abandoned Prince Xuan and instead thrown herself into Prince He's embrace.
Could it be that Prince Xuan had grown tired of Chu Qianli?
Or perhaps Chu Qianli believed that Prince He had a higher chance of becoming the imperial heir, and thus switched her allegiance to cooperate with Prince He?
With countless speculations in their hearts, everyone wanted to take this opportunity, with both princes and Chu Qianli present, to investigate firsthand.
Feng Yexuan withdrew his gaze. In truth, he hadn't properly looked at Chu Qianli behind Feng Qihe.
It was just that at first glance, he felt something strange. She was clearly his dead woman, so he wanted to go over.
But he hadn't forgotten that the one with Feng Qihe now was not Li'er, but Yu Linglong.
What was that glance just now?
As he tried to get a clearer look, Feng Qihe's tall figure stood before him like a large tree.
Chu Qianli's frame was too delicate. Blocked by Feng Qihe, not even a shadow of her could be seen.
Feng Yexuan wanted to leave, but there was a strange feeling, a desire to still go over.
Feng Qihe took another step forward and sneered, "Fourth Imperial Brother, a good horse doesn't eat回头草 (huítóu cǎo - grass that has been turned back). Do you still want to snatch even this woman from your elder brother? What about your Xiao Yao? Don't you want her anymore?"
Feng Yexuan turned and left, this time without any lingering attachment.
Chu Qianli's mood was indescribably complex.
In fact, she felt that with just that one accidental glance, Feng Yexuan had almost recognized her.
Alright, that guy's gaze was indeed quite sharp.
"Why did you stop him? Later at the banquet, as soon as he sees me, he'll definitely recognize me."
She was one hundred percent certain. She actually understood Feng Yexuan quite well.
Feng Qihe knew this too, but for now, blocking him even for a moment was something.
Perhaps he himself didn't know why he was being so foolish. Sooner or later, she was bound to be recognized.
But he was just being foolish, and willful!
"At least, you are still under the identity of this King's fiancée!" Feng Qihe snorted coldly.
He strode towards the banquet venue in the Imperial Garden.
"You yourself sought this engagement from the Emperor. Everyone in the Imperial City knows. Now, this King wants to see how you will resolve this!"
