Chapter 1569: Chapter 1569: What if he comes looking for us?

Chu Qianli suddenly felt even more guilty.

"I... I didn’t, didn’t say anything to Jinrui, just advised him, advised him to return... and properly handle... state affairs."

That’s right, that’s exactly what she told Feng Jinrui.

Advising Jinrui to go back and deal with state affairs, there’s nothing wrong with that, is there?

But in front of Ninth Uncle, why does she feel so lacking in confidence?

Feng Dingchu took another sip of wine and suddenly waved his hand, the bottle flew out of his hand.

With a crash, it shattered on the ground in the distance.

"Nin... Ninth Uncle, what’s... what’s wrong with you?" Is he angry?

"Can you guess what’s wrong?" Feng Dingchu snorted coldly.

Chu Qianli twisted her fingers, not daring to guess.

Ninth Uncle is so smart, he can see right through her little schemes.

She thought that after she left, even if the extremely clever Ninth Uncle figured it out, he couldn’t possibly drag her back from Heifeng Cliff.

After all, state affairs are not child’s play, Jinrui can’t do without him now.

He also has to stay by Feng Jinrui’s side to assist him with his duties.

In this way, Ninth Uncle would soon discover that Feng Jinrui is indeed not suited to be Emperor.

But this Jiangshan can’t be wasted, so in utter helplessness, Ninth Uncle would have to take up the responsibility himself.

At that time, Feng Jinrui only needs to leave an Imperial Decree to pass the throne to Ninth Uncle, and he could slip away, to reunite with them at the ends of the earth.

With Ninth Uncle’s wise and powerful nature, handing over the Jiangshan to him, both Feng Yexuan and Chu Qianli would be very relieved.

He’s been out playing for half his life, now it’s time for him to come back and take some responsibility, right?

They’re all members of the Feng Imperial Family, why should he get to play and not do anything?

Of course, that’s what Feng Yexuan said.

Prince Xuan... ahem, now, it’s the Emperor!

The Emperor is very shrewd.

Just didn’t expect, Chu Qianli hadn’t even left the Imperial City when Ninth Uncle saw through the plan.

"Ninth Uncle, I... I didn’t have any other ideas, just wanted to reunite with Yexuan sooner."

Chu Qianli tried hard to squeeze out a convincing smile, not knowing why, in front of anyone, she could speak eloquently, but under Ninth Uncle’s sharp gaze, she suddenly turned into a stutterer.

"Ninth Uncle, I..."

"The Life and Death Alliance on your body hasn’t been resolved, where can you go?" Feng Dingchu snorted coldly.

Chu Qianli was momentarily stunned, almost forgetting about that.

"That has to wait until after dealing with the Medicine Man Corps, bringing Nangong Shuya and her son to justice, then returning to Nanming to seek the State Preceptor’s help."

Though, up until now, she doesn’t know whether the State Preceptor has woken up or not.

However, with the long distances and arduous journey, Lan Fan probably wouldn’t come here to trouble her.

"What if Lan Fan actually comes?" Feng Dingchu saw through her thoughts at a glance.

"Then..."

Before Chu Qianli could finish her sentence, she suddenly looked up, gazing at the distant night sky.

It seemed like there were two figures walking across the treetops in the distance.

No, it wasn’t two people walking; one was fleeting, and the other... was being carried by that man in white.

Soon, the man in white lightly landed on the branch beside Feng Dingchu. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

He waved his hand, and the person he was carrying was thrown down, landing heavily in front of Chu Qianli with a thud.

The person lay on the ground, face unclear.

All that was visible was that the person was filthy from head to toe.

Chu Qianli walked over and gave a gentle kick.

The person she kicked turned over.

Upon seeing his face, Chu Qianli’s heart suddenly tightened!
