Chu Qianli rolled her eyes, "Do I have to cry for her to see?"
Fulong moved his lips but didn't know what to say.
Exactly, be angry!
Chu Qianli patted his arm, comforting him instead, "You know she's crazy, boring, and stupid. Why should I bother with her?"
Feng Ling, who was halfway there, stopped her steps, almost unable to resist turning back and killing her with a palm strike.
But she couldn't make the first move! She had promised Prince Xuan that she wouldn't proactively cause trouble for Chu Qianli.
It wasn't because he cared about Chu Qianli, but because he didn't want to cause a commotion in the imperial palace and make his master difficult.
It was definitely not because he was truly afraid of her bullying Chu Qianli!
The current Feng Ye Xuan no longer cared about Chu Qianli. It didn't matter to Feng Ye Xuan how she bullied Chu Qianli.
She only heard the two people gradually walking away, still talking in low voices:
"I'm not in a bad mood, Fulong, don't overthink it."
"But..."
"Are you afraid I'll be unhappy because they are together?"
Chu Qianli smiled helplessly, "He's a man I don't want. Whoever wants him can have him! If others treasure him, can I stop them?"
"You!" Feng Ling truly couldn't hold back this time. She suddenly turned around and glared fiercely at the backs of the two.
But they were walking quite far. If she chased after them again, it would seem like she was truly a little bit "crazy."
Although, she didn't quite understand what "crazy" meant.
Either way, it meant roughly the same thing.
"Your Highness, she..." She wanted to complain.
Feng Ye Xuan, however, walked away.
His face was ashen, his back cold and distant.
Feng Ling's heart panicked, and she quickly chased after him, "Your Highness..."
"Scram!"
Feng Ling immediately stopped, not daring to approach further.
Prince Xuan's temper was even more irritable and cold than before.
She had finally been brought by his side because her flute music could help him sleep, but now she was being disliked by him again!
It was all Chu Qianli's fault, that vixen!
As long as the vixen was alive, she would never have a good life!
"Your Highness, I know I was wrong. I just wanted to vent your anger... Your Highness, I won't dare again. Wait for me, I've practiced a new piece that can help you fall asleep more easily. Your Highness, wait for me!"
...
After sending Fulong out of the imperial palace, Chu Qianli returned.
Now, she could enter and exit the palace freely. This imperial palace had temporarily become an advantageous location for her.
After walking around the palace and thoroughly familiarizing herself with the terrain, she finally went to Lingjiu Hall.
Strictly speaking, Lingjiu Hall was already on the outskirts of the imperial palace. If divided more finely, it wasn't truly within the scope of the imperial palace.
However, the guards at Lingjiu Hall were still very strict, even more so than the Emperor's sleeping quarters.
Chu Qianli had been there once. This time, there were clearly two more layers of guard nets than last time.
As she was about to approach, two figures who suddenly descended blocked her path.
"This is the Emperor's token." Chu Qianli held the token up to them.
Unexpectedly, these two expressionlessly refused, "The National Master is not receiving guests today."
"Even the Emperor's token cannot grant passage?" Chu Qianli's brow furrowed.
One of them said again, "Sorry, the National Master is not receiving guests today."
Chu Qianli did not make things difficult. After putting away the token, she turned and left.
The legendary Lingjiu Hall's power occasionally surpassed that of the royal family. She didn't expect it to be true.
If the National Master wasn't receiving guests, then he truly wasn't. m..oΓg
But he had promised to help her find her father with magic today.
Not receiving guests, what should she do now?
