Qing Ming's hostility was not unseen by Chu Qianli.
Different paths lead to different goals, and there was nothing more to say.
"I need to go back and change my clothes first," she tugged at Feng Yexuan's sleeve.
Qing Ming's temper immediately flared, "Princess Consort, they have been kneeling for nearly two hours! All because they offended you!"
Those girls were kneeling to the point of fainting at any moment, and she still wanted to go back and change, to stall for time?
This woman was truly too wicked!
Chu Qianli didn't even spare him a glance, "Ridiculous, what does their kneeling or not kneeling have to do with me?"
"You..."
A cold gaze swept over.
Qing Ming shut his mouth, not daring to act rashly again!
His Highness was truly completely bewitched by the Princess Consort now!
Where had his principles gone?
Feng Yexuan escorted Chu Qianli back to her chambers.
"Princess Consort..." Seeing Chu Qianli return in disheveled clothes, wrapped in a man's robe, Xi'er felt uneasy.
However, seeing that it was His Highness himself who escorted her back, Xi'er seemed to have thought of something.
Could it be that His Highness and the Princess Consort... If it were true, that would be wonderful!
After Feng Yexuan left, Xi'er immediately leaned in and whispered, "Princess Consort, have you and His Highness... already..."
"No, don't think nonsense, find me a set of clothes."
Chu Qianli, with a blush, walked with her still somewhat weak steps behind the screen.
While changing, she accidentally touched her body, and her delicate brows immediately furrowed.
She and Feng Yexuan really hadn't... done anything indescribable.
But, apart from not doing that, that scoundrel had done everything he should and shouldn't have!
Chu Qianli's feelings now were indescribable.
Originally, a day ago, the two of them were still at each other's throats.
Who knew that a day later, they could be holding each other, and even... almost consummated!
If she hadn't resisted with all her might, that dog-like man would have truly... in the back mountain.
Heavens! She couldn't escape and almost got completely devoured!
It was too terrifying!
She still couldn't help but lower her head to look at herself.
Although that scoundrel didn't force her to do anything she didn't want in the end, he had kept her in the back mountain for a long time.
Now, her fragile skin, when accidentally brushed by the fabric of her clothes, pained her so much that she almost teared up.
"Princess Consort, do you want this servant to help you?"
Xi'er stood outside the screen, constantly peering.
Why was the Princess Consort taking so long to change her clothes?
Was her body still too weak, and her strength had not recovered?
"This servant will come in and help you change!"
"No need!" Chu Qianli immediately stopped her, quickening her pace of dressing.
Finally, when she emerged, holding onto the screen, her small face was still flushed red.
"Princess Consort, why are you always covering your body? Is your body injured?" Xi'er was very uneasy.
Hearing this, Chu Qianli's face instantly turned crimson, so red it could bleed!
"Nothing of the sort, I... I'm perfectly fine, don't speak nonsense!"
She hastily lowered her hands, afraid of being seen as something amiss.
"Alright, Princess Consort, this servant will help you out. If you feel uncomfortable, you must tell this servant."
Xi'er helped her out.
Chu Qianli had not expected that not far from the door, a tall figure was already standing.
He stood against the wind, elegant and refined, with an ethereal grace.
It was Prince Xuan in white!
Xi'er's eyes widened, and Chu Qianli was also slightly stunned.
That dog-like man... the more she looked, the more handsome he became!
Every time she saw him, he seemed to have reached a new height of handsomeness.
To be this handsome, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say he was captivating enough to topple nations.
What did he eat to grow like this!
Feng Yexuan saw her flushed face, her body slightly bent, clearly avoiding his gaze.
His eyes couldn't help but drift towards her.
Upon seeing her, the unsatisfied desire from the back mountain almost made him lose control!
He composed himself and slowly walked up to her, extending his hand, "Still uncomfortable?"
