Leng Ji sent the things he had packed up in the cave to the desk.
"Your Majesty, this painting was found in a cave. It was torn into pieces. My subordinates ordered people to repair the painting."
Complete repair was impossible, but craftsmen used wooden frames to piece together the portrait piece by piece.
At this time, when I stood it up and took a look, I could see the person in the painting clearly.
Long Qianyue.
Why, Long Qianyue again?
"Concubine Yu knows Long Qianyue?" He looked at Leng Ji.
Leng Ji looked confused and shook his head: "Your Majesty, this subordinate... I have never even seen Mrs. Long."
If the prince hadn't told him, he wouldn't have known that the woman in the painting was Long Qianyue.
Hasn't Long Qianyue been dead for more than ten years? Why does Concubine Yu always keep her portrait?
The portrait that Leng Ji brought back from Xianlan Palace was also displayed in front of Feng Yexuan.
Although the two paintings are different, the woman in the painting is the same person.
"Really Mrs. Dragon?"
"She is my savior, and I will never forget her appearance until my death!"
In this way, the woman in the painting is indeed Long Qianyue.
"Could it be that Concubine Yu, like you, the prince, has also received favors from Mrs. Long in the past?"
But there is one thing that Leng Ji doesn't understand.
"Now Qin Liuyan has explained to the people in the Duke's Mansion that Miss Chu is Long Qianyue's daughter, and now everyone knows it."
"If Mrs. Long really gave Concubine Yu such a great favor back then and let Concubine Yu remember her kindness for more than ten years, then why haven't I heard that Concubine Yu has taken any care of Miss Chu in these years?"
"And now that Miss Chu's identity is known, even if Concubine Yu is sad about the fifth prince, she will not attack the daughter of her benefactor who has been worshiping her for more than ten years."
Leng Ji always feels that this thing is very strange.
When did Concubine Yu pay attention to Chu Qianli?
"If you are so grateful to someone, Concubine Yu should have seen Miss Chu from time to time. Don't you think so, Your Majesty?"
Just like the prince, although he hated the former Chu Qianli, he still married Chu Qianli in order to repay his kindness.
Why is there no movement at Concubine Yu's side?
Unconventional?
"Is it possible that the woman in the painting just looks like Mrs. Long? Or maybe, Mrs. Long has a twin sister..."
Unintentionally, he cast an indifferent look at Feng Yexuan. Leng Ji suddenly felt a chill running down his spine, and he hurriedly bowed his head:
"My lord, I, I got excited and talked too much. I didn't mean to..."
"It may not be unreasonable."
"Huh?" Leng Ji was dumbfounded for a while.
Does the prince think what he said makes sense?
Leng Ji almost couldn't help but jump up and scream!
After so many years by the prince’s side, the prince has never praised me so much in my words!
The prince said what he said made sense!
I was so happy that I almost went to heaven.
Feng Yexuan glanced at him lightly: "Go and find out the origin of Long Qianyue."
"What?" Leng Ji suddenly didn't understand.
Long Qianyue, isn't she the eldest lady of the Long family? What's there to investigate?
"Your Majesty, the Long family has been in the imperial city for many years. Does the Long family also have problems?"
Feng Yexuan narrowed his eyes and stared at the woman in the portrait.
There is always a strange feeling in my heart.
Why did Chu Qianli get close to Long Ziyue?
He originally wanted to wait for the girl to tell him that he didn't want to have a hand in her affairs.
After all, she was different from ordinary women. That woman was too stubborn, and he didn't want to use the past methods to make her angry or even hurt her.
But now, she is under the spell of soul-obsessed Concubine Yu, and Concubine Yu is related to Long Qianyue...
The ins and outs of the matter must be investigated clearly.
Leng Ji didn't hesitate at all, and immediately nodded and said: "Yes!"
If the prince says to investigate, then he will investigate, whether it is the Long family, the Chu family or even any prince.
All he has to do is obey!
Leng Ji took the order and left.
Feng Yexuan's gaze was still on the portrait.
Long Qianyue, Concubine Yu, the dead woman, and Prince Longteng Guoding represented behind Long Ziyue...
Li'er, what exactly do you want to do?
What is your relationship with Longteng Kingdom?
…
"Ah Li, Brother Four Emperors is truly your husband."
"oh."
Feng Wuya was a little helpless.
This was the Nth time they had had a similar conversation, and even he couldn't figure out what Ah Li was thinking.
Why does the mother-concubine's soul-catching magic happen like this?
Ah Li remembers everyone, she even remembers Tie Xin and Leng Ji, but not the Four Emperors?
How could this be possible with simple mind-catching magic?
Could it be that the concubine’s mother-in-law used more than just soul-obsessing techniques on her?
"Ah Li..."
"Wuya, don't you like being with me?" Chu Qianli asked him to sit down by the bed and clasped the pulse gate of his wrist.
"Why do you always want to push me to other men?"
"I'm not trying to push you to the Four Emperors, but you are originally one of the Four Emperors."
"No, I remember, I am just the seventh lady of the Duke's mansion now."
"Ah Li..."
"Wuya, I have a headache."
Chu Qianli rubbed her eyebrows, a trace of darkness flashed across her eyes.
"I can't remember everything about that person, but some of my memories are strange and intermittent, and I can't seem to connect them."
"That person?" Feng Wuya was slightly stunned.
"That's the Fourth Emperor Brother you mentioned, Lord Xuan, the God of War." Chu Qianli raised her head and met his gaze.
The fingertips were still on his pulse gate, squeezing gently.
"I don't have any feelings or memories about him. Maybe I really had some relationship with him. Maybe it's what you said. Concubine Yu used some soul-obsessing technique on me..."
She frowned and shook her head again, with a somewhat distressed look on her face.
"No, I can't think. My head hurts if I think too hard."
"Okay, okay, then don't think about it! For the time being... I don't want to."
She was definitely not joking when she said she had a headache. Feng Wuya could tell that her face would turn pale when she thought about this problem.
It seems that he is enduring more and more pain.
"Ah Li, don't think about it for now, just take it easy." Feng Wuya coaxed softly.
Chu Qianli closed her eyes.
The frown between the eyebrows is difficult to relax.
"I know, I must have forgotten something..."
"Ali."
"But," she opened her eyes again and still met his gaze, "but I know that what I want to do most now is to guard you and protect you."
Most of his heart veins were severed. With the help of people with profound martial arts skills, he used internal strength to suppress his heart that was about to burst. At this time, he finally managed to save his life.
But this life is like a dead leaf in the autumn wind, crumbling.
Chu Qianli's long fingers slowly moved away from his wrist, and her hands grasped his palms.
"Wuya, don't think about anything! I just want you to live. I don't care about other people, and I don't want to care either."
