Tearing the Prince's Clothes after Withdrawing Marriage Chapter 463 - 462: They Are All Fond of Him Alone

Wei Qiong was a female general in her thirties.

Chu Qianli had just realized that in their Longteng Country, female generals were, indeed, a common sight.

In terms of numbers, they might not necessarily outnumber the male generals, but compared to other countries, they definitely held a clear advantage.

However, eting Wei Qiong wasn’t a surprise; the biggest surprise was seeing Fu Long and Feng Wuya at the Prince Residence.

"How did you get back here?" Chu Qianli asked with a look of astonishnt.

She had been wondering what thod she should use to get Wuya back from the Imperial Palace.

Unexpectedly, he had already left the Imperial Palace and arrived at the General Residence.

"I told the Grand Princess that I did not like being with His Majesty, so she sent here," he said.

Feng Wuya and Wei Qiong were sitting together, apparently having drunk several cups of tea and having sat for quite so ti before the arrival of Chu Qianli and her companions.

"Did Long Xinghe personally bring you here?" This was indeed beyond Chu Qianli’s expectations.

But upon reflection, she suddenly understood Long Xinghe’s intentions.

"It seems that the Grand Princess has given you her true heart."

"Ali!" Feng Wuya reproached her with his eyes.

"I’m just telling the truth. Who asked you to be so good-looking that even the Empress looked straight at you when she saw you."

Long Xinghe was afraid that if he stayed in the palace, the Empress might take advantage of him.

But it also seed inappropriate to send him to her own Princess Residence.

Before he was married, the Emperor would still be able to think of many ways to get Feng Wuya.

The only place where the Emperor could not act as he pleased, for now, was this Prince Residence.

Long Xinghe, in order to prevent the Empress from touching him, would rather send him to the Prince Residence where even Long Xinghe herself could not touch him, truly sparing no effort for his protection.

Feng Wuya had initially wanted to reproach her.

After all, with General Wei present, it was sowhat uncomfortable to discuss such matters in front of her.

Unexpectedly, General Wei also nodded seriously, "My thoughts are exactly in line with Miss Chu’s speculation."

For the sake of protecting Prince Xiaoyao, the Grand Princess had indeed co through this ti.

General Wei suddenly rembered sothing and then said, "In that case, there might be a rift between the Grand Princess and the Empress."

"You are too kind, General. Ali is young and makes jokes; please don’t take offense," said Feng Wuya with a sowhat distant tone.

Chu Qianli and Wei Qiong exchanged glances.

Knowing he disliked this topic, they decided to drop it for the mont.

"By the way, Miss Chu, did you et the Prince in the Imperial Palace?"

"Of course, I did," she said.

Chu Qianli briefly recounted her observations in the palace.

Of course, she did not ntion the matter of recognizing Prince Xiyue as her fiancé, nor anything about her identity, for the ti being.

"Why does the Prince think that you would be able to persuade my mother?"

In fact, Wei Qiong had been trying to persuade her mother for many years.

But her mother was always lackluster and had no intention of helping them.

Actually, for the old General Wei, whether it was Prince Long Tianliu or Prince Long Hongming who sat on the Empress’s throne, it made little difference.

If it weren’t for Princess Xiyue, then both people would be the sa to him.

Unless they could find evidence to prove that Long Tianliu had killed the Empress years ago to usurp the throne.

But for so many years, no one had any evidence, and this claim of harming the Empress and persecuting Princess Xiyue was considered nonsense in many people’s minds.

"Does old General Wei truly believe that it was Princess Xiyue who hard the forr Emperor?"

"Of course not," Wei Qiong sighed faintly, helplessly saying, "But my mother is also unwilling to believe that it was Long Tianliu who hard the forr Emperor without evidence."

This was a deadlock.

And it remains unsolved to this day.

There were rumors that the forr Emperor had died of illness, and that spies from a neighboring country had hard Princess Xiyue.

So believed it, so doubted it, but this affair had long been buried in the annals of ti, with nobody able to produce any definitive evidence to prove anything.

"But my mother’s trust in the Empress and Princess Xiyue was absolute..."

Wei Qiong thought for a mont before she couldn’t help but sigh, "Yet she was only willing to believe in them."

It is a pity that both of them are no longer with us.

Therefore, my mother takes no interest whatsoever in matters of the court.

"Since Prince Xiaoyao has given a letter and commanded soone to find General Wei, then I too believe that I certainly have the ability to persuade her."

But the key point, her own identity, Chu Qianli decided for the ti being not to bring it up.

Feng Wuya seed sowhat weary, and Wei Qiong imdiately said, "Minghong, escort the Prince to rest."

Chu Qianli’s brow moved slightly.

Did Wei Qiong have sothing else she wanted to talk to her about?

She could only then watch Feng Wuya, "Wuya, you’re not well, you should rest first."

If it were not necessary to keep him by her side, not far from reach, Chu Qianli would not have wished to drag him all the way to Longteng.

What an ordeal of suffering!

But if she were to be too far from him, and if sothing were to happen to Wuya, she would have no way to rush back to care for him.

Being far away did not sit well with her.

"All right," Feng Wuya, always extrely obedient regarding anything related to his health, agreed in front of her.

The man called Minghong was the expert who had discovered Chu Qianli the first mont she scaled the wall and entered.

Minghong bowed to Feng Wuya and said, "Prince, let escort you to rest."

Feng Wuya followed Minghong away.

Wei Qiong gave Feng Si a look, an obvious gesture to send him away, but Feng Si seed not to see it at all and paid no heed.

"This is my... friend, Mr. Feng Si, who is also a friend of Prince Xiaoyao," Chu Qianli hurried to introduce.

"He is... a friend of Prince Xiaoyao, is it?" Wei Qiong began to speak but then hesitated.

Feng Si put down his cup and got up to leave.

Direct and decisive, it was just that his aura seed a tad too cold.

"He is a person of the Jianghu, unacquainted with formalities, but his martial arts are extrely high. I need his assistance with many matters," Chu Qianli then clarified Feng Si’s identity.

It was impossible to give orders to Feng Si; he acted according to his whims.

However, if he was truly willing to assist, he would be an incredibly formidable ally.

That was the idea.

Wei Qiong understood.

Still, she found her words sowhat difficult to voice.

"General Wei, if you have sothing to say, please feel free to speak," Chu Qianli prompted her again.

Wei Qiong then looked at her and tentatively asked, "I wonder, Miss Chu, what is your relationship with Prince Xiaoyao? Could it be... lovers?"

Chu Qianli was taken aback.

Had this question been asked a few days ago, she would have unhesitatingly answered: yes.

However, Wuya had said that they were not in that kind of relationship.

Deep down, she was also clear that her feelings for Wuya were akin to those for a family mber.

They were not of a romantic nature.

Chu Qianli shook her head, "I regard him as my blood brother."

Wei Qiong let out a sigh of relief but still seed sowhat hesitant.

After a long mont, she finally said, "Now it seems that both the Grand Princess and the Empress have a special affection for Prince Xiaoyao, Miss Chu, have you thought about using this angle?"
