"Lord He has been with Miss Chu and the others in the forest, and has not yet come out."
In the room, after Feng Yexuan finished his meal, Leng Ji received the news and returned immediately to report.
"Because Lord He was there, our people did not follow too closely, so we don't know what they are doing in the forest."
As soon as he finished speaking, Leng Ji felt he had said the wrong thing and immediately corrected himself: "They are most likely just chatting, and there can be no improper behavior."
Lord He might wish for it, but Miss Chu is not that kind of person. Leng Ji was absolutely certain of this.
He suddenly added, "My Lord, it's even more impossible for Miss Chu and Gui Tong to have anything improper. Don't listen to what Princess Feiyan says. That woman has been slandering Miss Chu all along."
"Princess Feiyan likes you, and she fears that you still like Miss Chu, so she has been defaming Miss Chu. My Lord, you must not believe these slanders."
Feng Yexuan was eating quietly, not saying a word.
Leng Ji didn't know what he was thinking. Could he really believe Chu Feiyan's words?
Chu Qianli and Gui Tong?
Even he didn't believe it, so how could his Lord believe it?
"My Lord..."
Feng Yexuan put down his chopsticks.
Leng Ji was startled and quickly said, "My Lord, I won't disturb your meal. Please continue, continue."
Leng Ji retreated.
Outside, Ding Chen was waiting: "Leng Ji, then... should I still monitor Chu Qianli and Lord He?"
Leng Ji didn't know either. After thinking for a moment, he shook his head: "They can't have any improper behavior. It's fine if we don't watch... You go and do your own thing."
Ding Chen nodded and turned to leave.
After taking half a step, he couldn't help but look back and approach Leng Ji.
"What about the King's feelings for Miss Chu..."
"What does that have to do with you?" Leng Ji gave him a glare.
Ding Chen said helplessly, "If my Lord still likes Miss Chu, next time there's any urgent or dangerous situation, I... can also help her. But if..."
Leng Ji understood his meaning.
If his Lord no longer cared about Miss Chu, then Ding Chen would simply be responsible for collecting information, tracking, and communication. Whether the person being watched lived or died, as an intelligence officer, he should not interfere.
Does his Lord still like Miss Chu?
Who knew!
But, did he really not like her anymore? In the past, they had sworn to be together through life and death.
But tonight, Chu Feiyan almost tore off Miss Chu's clothes, and his Lord remained indifferent.
It could be said that if Lord He hadn't suddenly arrived tonight, Miss Chu's clothes might not have been saved.
Although Chu Feiyan was no match for Fu Ning, Fu Ning dared not harm her, but Chu Feiyan could freely harm Fu Ning.
One only defended and did not attack, while the other attacked at will. Fu Ning would eventually be injured by Chu Feiyan.
At that time, would Chu Feiyan go mad and really tear off Chu Qianli's clothes, drag her back to confess to Chu Minghao, who knew?
That county princess, when she went mad, was truly terrifying.
"If..."
Leng Ji thought for a moment, then said, "Forget it. My Lord didn't give any instructions. You... just do your own thing."
"Okay." Ding Chen really left this time.
Leng Ji watched his retreating back, his heart inexplicably heavy.
Was he telling Ding Chen that even if Chu Qianli was in danger, he couldn't save her?
Although this was what Ding Chen should do, why had their relationship with Chu Qianli become like this?
Leng Ji felt a sense of inexplicable struggle.
As he turned back, he saw the tent flap being lifted, and Feng Yexuan's tall figure appeared in his sight.
Leng Ji immediately stepped forward: "My Lord, are you going out?"
