Fulong looked at Feng Yexuan.
At this moment, his eyes held a kind of sorrow that was impossible to fathom.
Leng Ji immediately said, "Your Highness, there must be a misunderstanding here!"
How could Fulong dare to act like this towards Her Majesty the Empress?
Fulong, like Funing, was loyal to Her Majesty the Empress, and would risk everything for her great cause!
Fulong harbored ill intentions towards Her Majesty the Empress?
Impossible!
How could it be?
Feng Yexuan withdrew his gaze from Fulong, placed his hand on Chu Qianli's arm, and gently pulled her aside.
"I will handle this."
Chu Qianli nodded, wiping away her tears.
Qing Mei immediately draped a newly fetched garment over her.
In reality, there was nothing particularly indecent to see, only that the neckline had been slightly torn open.
But for a young lady, this was an insult.
Qing Mei supported Chu Qianli and retreated to the side.
Fulong descended the steps and walked slowly to Feng Yexuan.
"This subordinate was disrespectful to Your Highness. This subordinate is willing to accept punishment!"
Before Feng Yexuan could react, he actually drew his saber and plunged it into his own abdomen!
"Fulong!" Leng Ji was terrified and rushed over, supporting him. "Fulong, you... aren't you going to explain?"
Fulong, however, only stared at Feng Yexuan, gritting his teeth, and repeated the same words, "This subordinate... was disrespectful to Your Highness!"
Feng Yexuan's expression was icy. He waved his hand.
Leng Ji's eyes lit up, and he quickly said, "Commander Fulong, you should leave first!"
Supporting him, he prepared to usher him out.
Chu Qianli wiped away her tears and said angrily, "Your Highness..."
"He has already stabbed himself once, Li'er. Do you want his life?"
Feng Yexuan looked at her indifferently, his words implying that if she wanted his life, he could obtain it for her.
But, was it truly necessary to be so heartless?
Chu Qianli was speechless.
However, Fulong had attempted to take liberties with his woman, and his reaction seemed too calm.
Shouldn't he have been burning with rage and struck Fulong down with a single palm?
Chu Qianli realized that after today, Fulong would likely be of no help to her.
The look he had given her earlier held no trace of affection.
He would no longer like her.
Since that was the case, this person who was so familiar with the former Chu Qianli had no value in being kept.
He would only be a source of trouble!
It would be better to eliminate him!
Fulong clutched his wounded abdomen, and with Leng Ji's support, left Qianyun Pavilion.
Once outside, Leng Ji's expression changed, filled with urgency and anger. "Fulong, why didn't you explain?"
Seeing the trail of blood he had left on the ground, Leng Ji felt an indescribable pain.
Why had everyone become like this?
Not long ago, they had been united and faced external threats together.
Even though Leng Ji had not been in Longteng Kingdom at the time, he knew everything that had happened there.
They were all friends!
Why had such good friends suddenly turned to fighting each other!
Leng Ji even had a thought he dared not voice: if he had known, it would have been better if Chu Qianli had never returned! m..oΓg
"Those who believe me do not need my explanation; they will naturally believe. Those who do not believe me..."
Fulong gritted his teeth, unable to catch his breath, and his legs weakened, about to collapse onto one knee.
Leng Ji, with quick reflexes, immediately caught him.
Seeing the increasing flow of blood from his abdominal wound, Leng Ji anxiously said, "We must find a doctor to examine you!"
However, Liu Jin was not in the manor these past few days. What should they do?
Fulong said hoarsely, "It's alright, I'll go back... and then..."
"You're bleeding so much. If you don't get treatment, you'll die!"
Suddenly, Leng Ji seemed to recall something and said urgently, "I know someone. She seems to be very skilled in medicine too! Fulong, I'll take you to her! She can heal you!"
