Chapter 1433: Chapter 1432: Surely, couldn’t wait any longer
Lan Qing’s face, initially pale, suddenly turned crimson.
Chu Qianli was startled and tried to approach her, but was pulled back by Fu Long: "Beware of the cold at the ice pool!"
This pull unexpectedly caused her to stumble towards the ground.
Fu Long was shocked and quickly supported her: "Ali, are you hurt?"
Chu Qianli exhaled heavily, finally calming the tumultuous feeling in her chest.
She nodded.
"Before returning, I was poisoned by Feng Xi, though the toxins have been largely cleared, a portion still lingers within, preventing me from regaining my full strength."
But when Fu Long looked at her, he saw it was more than just not recovering her strength.
She appeared clearly very weak!
The poison’s damage was far more severe than she made it sound!
"Don’t worry, I’m really fine, do I look like someone in trouble?"
"Do you really look like you’re fine?" Fu Long snorted, somewhat annoyed.
She was poisoned and injured, and he wasn’t even by her side to protect her!
The more he thought about it, the more useless he felt!
"Brother, at least now the young lady is back safely, it’s a blessing amidst misfortune. What’s done is done, blaming yourself won’t help."
Fu Ning couldn’t stand it, even though he was some distance away, he still offered comfort from afar.
"Let’s not talk about that, what happened with the State Preceptor just now?"
Looking again at Lan Qing’s face, it reverted back to being pale; what was the earlier flush of red all about?
"The Princess said the ice pool would help him restore his strength, but the process is extremely dangerous, and while channeling energy, there’s a risk of going into a frenzy."
"But all we can do is wait by him without interrupting, there’s no way to interfere, so..."
"So he was nearly going into a frenzy just now?" Chu Qianli was deeply worried.
"Probably." The Princess understands more; they truly know nothing.
The Lan Family mystical arts are beyond their comprehension.
"Ali, since you’re not in good health, you shouldn’t stay here. Any changes with the National Advisor, I’ll send someone to inform you."
Fu Long supported her as they exited the cave: "Stay away from the ice pool, this place holds no benefit for you."
None of them belong to the Lan Family, the ice pool only harms them, with no advantages.
Fu Ning continued to stay at his post, never leaving even for a moment.
"Thank you all for your hard work." When she exited, the congested feeling in Chu Qianli’s chest finally eased.
It was always like a wild horse, poised to burst forth at any moment.
"We’re just standing guard here, nowhere near as challenging as your struggles."
This trip to Xinhua Village, though Fu Long did not accompany them, he could imagine that it was perilous.
Thankfully, everyone returned safely.
"Ali, when do you plan to tell the emperor the truth about your identity?"
Though he’s in Lingjiu Hall, he knows a bit about what’s going on outside.
Chu Minghao and Prince Yu have been thrown into Sky Prison, Lan Fan escaped, and is wanted throughout the city.
Though it’s not all calm yet, with things progressing at this pace, at least the emperor’s side is temporarily safe.
She’s returned to the emperor’s side, she’s safe now, right?
"Isn’t it time to tell him?"
Father and daughter recognizing each other—what a wonderful thing!
Ali must be waiting, she must already be unable to wait, right?
