Tearing the Prince's Clothes after Withdrawing Marriage Chapter 864 - 863: They Have a Common Enemy

Chu Qianli’s thoughts were nearly spot on.

That year, Long Xiyue had written a letter asking for the Emperor’s support, ntioning that the hidden hand behind the training of dicine n was related to the Imperial Family.

As it happened, the Emperor himself had also suffered from the threats of the dicine Man Corps, having been the target of assassination attempts multiple tis.

So, the dicine Man Corps had a long history and indeed didn’t have much to do with the Emperor?

"That year, did the Ninth Prince lead troops to suppress the dicine Man Corps?" After reading the letter, Chu Qianli turned her head to look at the Emperor.

In the depths of the Emperor’s eyes, however, flitted a strange gleam.

But that gleam was fleeting, disappearing so quickly that Chu Qianli didn’t pay much attention to it.

The Emperor pursed his lips, his voice hoarse, "That’s right, back then... the Ninth Prince led the troops against them, barely escaped with his life, but eventually wiped out the dicine Man Corps completely."

It was because of this that, in the following years, the Imperial Family had a relatively peaceful ti.

But in recent years, the dicine Man Corps had begun to rise again, and at this ti, they of Beiming had a new War God, Prince Xuan.

But Prince Xuan’s loyalty was on the battlefield, and with several Princes each having their own sphere of influence, to this day, no Prince had completely taken on the burden of confronting the dicine Man Corps.

Chu Qianli could see through his thoughts at a glance.

She felt like laughing. Even now, was he still blaming his sons?

"Over the years, hasn’t Your Majesty intentionally stirred up strife between Prince He and Prince Xuan, letting them check each other, to continue controlling the court smoothly?"

"Since Your Majesty arranged for the two to play this ga, you should know that neither would dare to rashly wage war against the dicine Man Corps."

Because once they provoked the entire dicine Man Corps, they would gain a very formidable enemy.

At that ti, the situation would beco more advantageous for another Prince.

"If none of your sons are willing to serve you wholeheartedly, Your Majesty, perhaps it’s ti to reflect on your own reasons?"

The Emperor was sowhat angry, his complexion turning sour. After all, this insolent girl had challenged his authority ti and again, sothing unprecedented in his life.

But he couldn’t refute what she said.

In the end, even his tone carried a hint of gloom. "In any case, you should know that the death of Long Xiyue was related to the dicine Man Corps!"

"So what?" Chu Qianli had already cald down.

Negotiating terms was possible, but she certainly wouldn’t help him for no reason.

After all, he had not helped her mother or her Longteng Country back then!

"Your Majesty knows you hold a grudge, but you also want to find the culprit who hard your mother, don’t you?"

"Your Majesty, speak plainly; my ti is precious," Chu Qianli huffed coldly.

The Emperor was annoyed again.

Being as high as the heavens, he never imagined that one day a young girl would dare to be so impudent in his presence!

But he endured!

"Right now, I cannot trust anyone around . I want to cooperate with you! At least, we have a common enemy."

That is, the real mastermind behind the dicine Man Corps!

...Tonight, Chu Qianli stayed by the Emperor’s side, joining everyone in keeping watch for the New Year.

No one knew why Chu Qianli and the Emperor had suddenly beco so close.

Even the Empress had to stay with the Princes and Princes, while the Emperor was accompanied only by Chu Qianli.

To say she was serving him didn’t seem right, after all, she was the Empress of Longteng Country.

Perhaps it was because of her lofty status that things were this way?

No one knew.

Keeping watch for the New Year started at midnight and went on until dawn.

As daybreak approached, the ceremony finally ca to an end.

After escorting the Emperor back to his sleeping quarters, Leng Ji arrived: "My lady, let escort you back ho."

"Back ho?" Chu Qianli glanced behind him, "Where is your Prince?"
