Chapter 1455: Chapter 1454: What Exactly Is the Urgent Matter?
Chu Qianli never expected that before she hit the ground, she would be caught by an arm.
Softly, she fell into a warm embrace.
She almost wanted to curse, but her breath was chaotic, and at this moment, she could only focus on breathing. How could she have the energy to curse?
Once she finally caught her breath, Chu Qianli opened her eyes and glared at the man holding her horizontally, her palm-sized little face flushed with anger.
"Bastard..."
"Hmm?" Feng Yexuan raised an eyebrow, looked down to meet her angry gaze, his face still expressionless, but a gleam of mischief flashed in his eyes.
"Didn’t you yourself say you were fine, only then did I put you down? I can’t keep holding you once you’re well, right? What if you think I’m trying to take advantage of you?"
"You..."
"However, I didn’t expect you to be so fragile, unable even to walk properly."
He coldly laughed, his tone seeming like sarcasm, but also like teasing, as if secretly enjoying himself.
"See, without me, you would certainly fall flat on your back! Though I might have some disdain, we were once husband and wife after all."
"I can’t just stand by and watch, don’t you think?"
Chu Qianli was rendered speechless!
If it weren’t for his sudden toss earlier without any warning, would she be so embarrassed?
The sly man was clearly doing it on purpose!
She wasn’t that weak!
"You seem dissatisfied?" Feng Yexuan looked down at her, frowning.
"What do you think, Prince?"
"Do you want to try walking by yourself then?" He had already prepared to let go at any moment.
Chu Qianli was startled, instinctively, she grabbed his collar tightly.
If she was tossed out again, what if he didn’t save her? Wouldn’t she fall miserably?
She couldn’t figure out what the sly man was thinking now; the stakes were a bit high.
At this moment, a fall could really cost her dearly.
"Heh, it seems you still can’t bear to leave me." Feng Yexuan glanced at her small hands clutching his collar.
With just one look, he lightly chuckled and continued to walk forward with her in his arms.
Chu Qianli was very angry!
Very aggrieved!
But at the same time, very helpless.
Luckily, she saw Little Shunzi: "Has something happened to Father?"
"No, no!"
Little Shunzi dared to approach only upon noticing the Princess: "Greetings, Princess! Greetings, Prince!"
Just now seeing the Prince and Princess teasing each other, he did not dare to interfere.
"Replying to the Princess, the Emperor is well, but he has come to look for the Princess few times today, and upon not finding the Princess, returned to rest feeling unwell."
"Before leaving, the Emperor instructed the servants to wait for the Princess, to see if she was well, and I shall go back now to report to him."
"Father has looked for me a few times?" Chu Qianli wanted to get out from Feng Yexuan’s embrace, but the sly man did not let go, finally, she had to abandon the idea.
She looked at Little Shunzi with some urgency: "Is something the matter? Should I now..."
"No, no, at this moment, the Emperor is likely resting."
Little Shunzi shook his head quickly, respectfully saying: "Since the Princess is fine, please rest early, the Emperor is concerned about the Princess’s health."
"I’m fine, go tell Father that I’ll personally go pay my respects to him tomorrow."
But she was still puzzled as to what the urgent matter was that had Father looking for her multiple times.
