Feng Yexuan was still burning with fever.
His body remained scorching hot, his consciousness muddled by the illness.
However, Yu Linglong's words were crystal clear, each one etching itself into his heart:
Chu Qianli no longer wanted him!
That damned woman had indeed abandoned him!
Just as she had left him behind with the divorce papers that day.
His large palm slowly clenched.
Yu Linglong and Qing Ming continued to persuade him, but Feng Yexuan didn't hear a single word.
All he knew was that the dead woman had run off again!
Outside, there was a commotion.
Leng Ji went out to look and found Feng Jinrui there again.
"Fourteenth Prince, His Majesty has ordered that you are not allowed to enter the Wuzhou Garden! You should return first!"
"I want to see my Fourth Imperial Brother!" This was not the first time Feng Jinrui had come.
But each time, he was blocked by Qing Ming and Leng Ji.
Leng Ji added, "Fourteenth Prince, Miss Yu is working hard to save His Highness. If you barge in now, you will only add to Miss Yu's troubles."
"If you, Fourteenth Prince, also fall ill, Miss Yu will be unable to attend to everyone!"
"I just want to know, what is Fourth Imperial Brother's current condition!"
Why, after three days and three nights, was there still no good news?
Feng Jinrui was about to get into a scuffle with the guards at the gate. He was truly anxious!
So what if he was ill? He had to see for himself how his Fourth Imperial Brother was doing!
"Fourteenth Prince, His Highness... His Highness has woken up."
Leng Ji was not lying; His Highness had indeed woken up.
However, the situation seemed to be the same, with no improvement at all.
He dared not say this to Feng Jinrui.
"I must go and see my Fourth Imperial Brother personally!" Feng Jinrui insisted.
He had endured for three days and could not hold on any longer today.
If they didn't let him in soon, he would resort to force!
"Fourteenth Prince, you must not!"
Leng Ji thought for a moment and then changed the subject: "Fourteenth Prince, if you truly care about His Highness, then..."
"What do you want me to do? Speak quickly!" Feng Jinrui was both anxious and annoyed.
At a time like this, how could he still hesitate!
Leng Ji finally mustered up the courage and said, "Fourteenth Prince, His Highness wishes to see the Princess Consort, but in his current condition, he really cannot leave his residence."
"Where is that vixen?" Although Feng Jinrui no longer disliked Chu Qianli as much.
But in his heart, Chu Qianli, who had once clung to him, was still a vixen.
Leng Ji quickly replied, "Three days ago, it was reported that she was thrown into the Heavenly Prison by His Majesty. We don't know her current situation yet."
"Why did Father Emperor throw her into the Heavenly Prison?"
For the past three days, Feng Jinrui had been preoccupied with his Imperial Brother's condition and had no time to inquire about other matters.
Moreover, he had always disliked getting involved in other people's affairs.
He didn't ask about the unpleasant things happening outside, and no one would proactively tell him.
Therefore, he was indeed unaware of Chu Qianli's situation.
Leng Ji glanced back before lowering his voice and saying, "It is rumored that the Princess Consort stole Miss Yu's prescription..."
"That vixen... doesn't seem like someone who would steal things."
He didn't know if it was because he had wronged Chu Qianli before, but when he heard such a thing, his first reaction was, had she been wronged again?
"This won't do. I must go and ask Father Emperor for clarification!"
The Heavenly Prison was dark and damp, not a place for a young lady.
After staying there for three days and three nights, her body would be ruined!
"Go back and tell my Imperial Brother that I will bring the vixen to see him immediately. Tell him to get better quickly!"
Leng Ji breathed a sigh of relief and quickly said, "Alright, Fourteenth Prince, I'll leave this matter to you!"
... After Feng Jinrui entered the palace, he learned that His Majesty and the Empress Dowager had both left the palace and gone to Prince Xuan's residence.
The two parties had missed each other.
He had no choice but to go to the Heavenly Prison first, intending to see Chu Qianli's current state.
However, he did not expect that Chu Qianli had already escaped from prison!
