Chapter 1451: Chapter 1450: When have I ever been willing to listen to you?
Chu Minghao unexpectedly placed a gold necklace around Ruji’s neck.
This person is truly perverse!
Chu Qianli looked at the maid who was still crying loudly, and finally glanced at Chu Feiyan.
Chu Feiyan didn’t know why, but with just one look, she understood Chu Qianli’s meaning.
"I’m not feeling well, I want to return to the palace to rest," Chu Qianli turned to look at Feng Yexuan.
Without a word, Feng Yexuan helped her leave.
The maid glanced at her, then lowered her head and continued crying.
"The Crown Prince Residence is destroyed; what do you plan to do?" Chu Feiyan asked the maid.
The maid cried hoarsely, "I... I don’t know what to do either. The lady is already gone, I can only return to my hometown."
"Then you should go," Chu Feiyan turned and left as well.
The maid seemed somewhat taken aback.
But the Commandery Princess had already walked far away and really didn’t care about the matters here.
The guards began handling the charred corpse.
The maid continued kneeling by the corpse, crying for a long time.
Until the corpse was also carried away by the guards, she finally wiped away her tears and stood up.
Looking around, everyone was busy.
The Crown Prince Residence was gone, and the servants were all at a loss, not knowing what to do next.
Countless people came and went, and no one paid attention to this little maid.
Finally, the maid quietly retreated a few steps, then took advantage of no one noticing, and ran swiftly.
In the distance, Chu Feiyan stood on a tree.
Seeing the maid run out of the backyard ruins, she leaped lightly from the tree and chased after her.
...
"Princess." After returning to the palace, Xi Jiu came to seek an audience and asked in a low voice, "Princess, why let Commandery Princess Feiyan follow the maid? Do you think that corpse is not Ruji’s?"
"I’m not sure, but there’s something that feels strange."
Chu Qianli was drinking medicine.
The medicine was really bitter, but Feng Yexuan just sat not far away, staring at her stubbornly to make her drink it.
If she didn’t drink it, he might argue again, so she could only endure the bitterness and swallowed it bit by bit.
She found it really hard to drink it all at once, it was too bitter.
So she took the opportunity to talk to Xi Jiu, giving her stomach a break.
"I don’t know if she belongs to King Yu, but I’m afraid King Yu’s people are watching every move from my side, so letting Feiyan handle this matter is more suitable."
"Since when did Chu Feiyan listen to you?" Feng Yexuan found it odd.
A woman’s heart is unfathomable; before, weren’t they at odds?
Unexpectedly, a single glance could instruct Chu Feiyan, that proud and headstrong woman?
"It’s not that she is willing to listen to me, rather, we have a common goal and want to do the same thing, so she is willing to listen to me this once."
Feng Yexuan said no more.
However, Chu Feiyan’s actions today did surprise him.
Originally, he indeed didn’t have much good feeling about Chu Feiyan, noisy and unruly, the kind he least liked to get close to.
Xi Jiu remained puzzled, "Princess thinks that corpse is not Ruji’s? Then, whose hands is Ruji in now?"
The more Xi Jiu thought, the more uneasy he felt, "Could it be King Yu’s people?"
"Not necessarily."
"Not necessarily?" Besides King Yu, who else would target Ruji?
Chu Qianli put down the empty medicine bowl, her brow slightly furrowed.
After pondering for a moment, she said, "Xi Jiu, go immediately to help Chu Feiyan and bring a few experts."
Xi Jiu was confused, "This is... why?"
