Yu Linglong’s footsteps immediately halted.
Feng Yexuan might not truly kill her, but he would definitely make her suffer excruciating pain.
Perhaps, crippling her was not impossible.
She dared not approach; this man, honestly, was ten times more insane than Feng Qihe.
Feng Yexuan merely snorted coldly before walking away.
Eunuch Qing watched everything unfold, still unable to comprehend it.
Prince Xuan truly paid no attention to Chu Qianli.
His gaze held no deep hatred, but was as calm as water, merely showing disgust.
Yes, it was disgust, not the kind of resentment after a quarrel.
What was going on?
After Feng Yexuan left, Feng Qihe slowly approached.
With Eunuch Qing present, he didn't say anything, merely looking at Yu Linglong. His voice, though not warm, at least wasn't angry.
"Li'er, it's time for us to return."
Yu Linglong nodded.
The two left. As soon as they got into the carriage, Yu Linglong felt a chill.
Her neck tightened, and Feng Qihe’s hand once again choked her.
"You still want to provoke him?" Feng Qihe tightened his grip, and Yu Linglong could barely breathe.
However, this time she wasn't flustered, only angry.
This Prince He was utterly disrespectful to her!
In the future, she would definitely repay this grievance tenfold.
"Your Highness, how could I provoke him? We just met and exchanged a casual greeting."
His grip this time was not too tight; she could breathe and speak, though her neck felt very uncomfortable.
Yu Linglong said with sincerity, "He wishes he could kill me now, and naturally, I don't want him to continue living. Your Highness, I am on the same boat as you. I cannot still yearn for a man who constantly wants to kill me."
"Your Highness, believe me."
Feng Qihe stared at her coldly. After an unknown amount of time, his anger gradually subsided.
He turned his face away, lifted the carriage curtain, and looked at the scenery outside.
His expression was grim.
Feng Yexuan's disdainful gaze made him feel as if he had swallowed a fly; he was truly displeased!
Feng Yexuan's reaction also made him very confused.
Upon returning to the manor, he ignored Yu Linglong and went to his study.
"Have there been any movements in Prince Xuan's manor these past two days?"
"No major movements, except they brought back that woman named Xiao Yao." The man in black reported.
"I heard Prince Xuan has already taken her into his chambers."
It was still that girl named Xiao Yao, a girl who looked very ordinary, even rather common.
Why was Feng Yexuan so devoted to such a young girl?
Had he forgotten his Li'er so quickly?
"What is that girl's background?"
"We haven't found out yet. We only know that she helped solve the insect infestation problem in Qingxi Town that day."
Feng Qihe had also heard about this matter.
The insect infestation in Qingxi Town had been resolved by Prince Xuan using a peculiar method.
That was, treating the insects that harmed crops as food!
The thought alone made his stomach churn.
But the scout's report stated that Prince Xuan personally tasted it in public, and those crayfish, now had a new name: Xiao Long Xia.
Feng Qihe closed his eyes.
A young girl who could help Feng Yexuan solve the insect infestation…
After a long while, he finally opened his eyes and said coldly, "Continue investigating. You must find out for this Prince, what is the background of that girl named Xiao Yao."
"Yes!"
After the man in black left, Feng Qihe's gaze inadvertently fell upon the pile of official documents on his desk.
He heard that the girl named Xiao Yao could also handle official documents for Feng Yexuan?
She had even helped Feng Yexuan identify corrupt officials in various regions.
Just by looking at two documents, she could find corrupt officials within them, which was simply incredible.
What kind of woman was this girl?
Feng Qihe became increasingly interested in her.
