Chapter 1424: Chapter 1423: This day is not far away
Lan Fan escaped, and Prince Yu was thrown into the Sky Prison.
The dust seemed to have settled.
But Chu Qianli knew that many things were just beginning.
"Make sure to watch over Prince Yu closely, absolutely do not let him escape, or Nanming will surely fall into chaos."
With Prince Yu’s status, he cannot be easily dealt with without thorough investigation and conviction.
The Sky Prison in the Imperial Palace might not truly be safe.
"Yes."
After Yang Xun took the guards away, Chu Qianli prepared to leave immediately.
"Father, I am going to check on Commandery Princess Feiyan."
"Go ahead." Thinking of the haggard-looking Chu Feiyan, Chu Jiangnan couldn’t help but feel a twinge of pity.
Watching Chu Qianli’s departing figure, his heart suddenly tightened.
"Little Lili." He called out.
Chu Qianli immediately stopped and looked back at him, "Father, is there anything else?"
Chu Jiangnan looked at her, wanting to speak but hesitated.
Moments later, he softly said, "It’s nothing, just... be careful everywhere, protect yourself well, father... it’s nothing."
Father will never use you as a tool for seizing power, whether you are his biological daughter or not.
Chu Qianli seemed to understand his unspoken meaning, feeling a bit of warmth in her heart.
She smiled and said, "Is father worried after seeing Commandery Princess Feiyan like this?"
Chu Jiangnan looked at her, a hint of delight flashing in his eyes.
This girl could understand him.
Little Shunzi quickly said, "Your Majesty, don’t worry, Her Highness is skilled and resourceful, she will protect herself."
"That’s right, I can take care of myself, and you must also take care of your health, and get well soon, Father."
Some emotions are just so strange.
Knowing that she is not his daughter, Father still genuinely cares for her, and Chu Qianli could clearly feel that after spending time together, Father truly regarded her as a daughter.
After this matter is over, she will fully reveal the truth to Father.
The day is not far away.
"I will be back soon, Father, you should rest early."
After bowing, Chu Qianli immediately left.
Half a day had passed since Prince Yu was imprisoned.
After having Xi Jiu catch up with Chu Feiyan, Chu Qianli initially intended to invite her to the Empress Dowager’s quarters for her company.
But Chu Feiyan did not want to see anyone.
So now, although Chu Feiyan was still in the palace, she was in the most secluded courtyard.
Xi Jiu was always guarding her.
Not accompanying her, because she didn’t need it, he just stayed outside the door until Chu Qianli arrived.
"Princess." Xi Jiu immediately approached, "All day without eating or drinking, we don’t know what she is doing."
"Is she alright?" Chu Qianli was somewhat worried.
Chu Feiyan’s condition was indeed poor.
However, her willingness to testify against her own father was somewhat unexpected.
Just afraid of pushing her too hard.
"She should be fine, I’ve been keeping watch." If it were something like suicide, there would be some commotion.
Chu Qianli still felt uneasy and quickened her pace, swiftly reaching Chu Feiyan’s door.
She raised her hand and knocked on the door, "Commandery Princess Feiyan, it’s Chu Qianli, may I come in?"
Inside, there was not a sound.
Chu Qianli and Xi Jiu exchanged a glance, Xi Jiu also began to feel a vague sense of unease.
Even though he had kept guard all day, since the other was a lady, it was inappropriate to go in and check.
So until now, he had not seen her at all.
"Commandery Princess Feiyan, may I come in?"
Having knocked several times, there was still no response inside. Chu Qianli’s heart sank, and she immediately pushed the door open.
