Chapter 1548: Chapter 1548: Ultimately, Life or Death?

Feng Bufan surely knows Feng Yexuan’s identity.

Chu Qianli has even guessed that Hua Rong is probably taken back to Beiming by Feng Qihe.

Though it’s unclear what means Feng Qihe used to take the martial arts master Hua Rong.

Anyway, taking him away means taking him away.

Feng Yexuan returned without a word because he knows well that coming back is likely a dead end.

He is prepared to be killed at any moment.

But for the sake of his mother, he had to come.

Therefore, he would rather let Chu Qianli believe that he took the Treasure Map and betrayed her.

This way, at least during this particularly dangerous time, Chu Qianli would not risk saving him.

"Ali, since you’ve guessed Prince Yexuan’s intention, then..."

Some words, Fu Long was uncertain whether to say or not.

Prince Yexuan’s return to Beiming is fraught with danger.

Perhaps the Emperor won’t kill him yet, keeping Prince Yexuan still has uses.

But Prince Yexuan is also a fierce tiger, one that can retaliate at any time.

Now, the Beiming Emperor is probably very conflicted.

Deciding whether to kill or not, he hasn’t made up his mind.

But at this time, whoever wants to save Prince Yexuan will face immense danger.

This is, after all, Beiming.

To save Prince Yexuan is to oppose the entire Beiming.

"Ali, he definitely doesn’t want you to save him."

"Do you think I won’t try to save him?" Chu Qianli looked up at him.

Fu Long opened his mouth but finally sighed deeply.

Forget it, there’s nothing to hesitate over, nothing to dissuade.

If she’s not going to save him, she wouldn’t be Chu Qianli.

Besides, he is the most important person in her life.

"Tonight, after we receive Shiyi’s message, I’ll go into the city with you, and let Fu Ning stay here to provide support," said Fu Long.

"I had the same thought."

...Thus, that night around midnight, Fu Ning inexplicably slept deeply, while two figures quietly sneaked out from behind the house.

Everyone knew that entering the Imperial City this time, the future was uncertain, life and death unpredictable.

Chu Qianli had to go, and Fu Long couldn’t let her venture alone.

But Fu Ning didn’t need to follow them in.

"Recently, the Imperial City’s defenses are extremely tight, and it’s feared that some of Prince Yexuan’s old subordinates have already infiltrated, the Emperor is guarding against their rescue attempts."

Shiyi personally led Chu Qianli and Fu Long inside.

The road was very hidden, requiring them not only to bypass two great mountains but also to descend a cliff.

They were now on the mountainside, unable to walk the mountain top, as Shiyi stated there were Imperial Armies stationed there.

They could only take the thorny path on the mountainside to reach the cliff edge and then slide down from there.

This path was too secretive; ordinary people couldn’t find it, so for now, there were no ambushers here.

"The defense is so strict, indicating how significant this matter is, with Prince Yexuan holding three-tenths of Beiming’s military power. Until these forces are secured, the Emperor probably doesn’t dare to openly execute him, nor secretly handle it."

Shiyi’s words slightly weighed on Chu Qianli’s heart.

Fu Long knew what she was perplexed about and said, "Shiyi’s information is more insightful than we imagined; however, he was merely speculating, and I provided the confirmation."

The truth can’t stay hidden; Prince Yexuan’s lineage probably won’t stay secret for long; those who should know will know.

"Ali, I’m sorry, for the sake of convenience, I had to..."

"It’s alright, he will understand." 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

As long as it’s to save someone, Feng Yexuan wouldn’t stick to such trivialities.

Chu Qianli feared that she wouldn’t have the chance to explain to him.

Yexuan, after the battle in the palace, what became of him?

In the end, is he alive or dead?
