As for some people saying that the late emperor left her a mysterious army, that is simply a rumor.
Because the late emperor only left Fengxue's secret guards, a total of twenty people, they have been following her to help her.
Perhaps, these twenty people can form an army.
Taking advantage of the opportunity for the secret guards to investigate, Chu Li went to the prison again.
The prison chief received Chu Li warmly, and his attitude was as flattering as possible, which was completely different from the attitude towards prisoners.
I don’t know why the cell leader welcomed her so much. The cell leader was also very enthusiastic last time.
It's not that the prison boss is afraid of the prince's power, but that the prison boss has heard about Feng Xue's reputation and is domineering, many times stronger than him. The prison boss regards Feng Xue as a target to surpass.
Of course, she may never be able to surpass it in her lifetime.
Chu Li didn't know the reason for the cell leader's enthusiasm, but she didn't ask. It wasn't very important to her.
While walking, Chu Li suddenly asked the cell leader beside him, "Is the Prime Minister okay?"
"Back to your lord, the Prime Minister is doing well."
After all, they had not been convicted yet and were only temporarily detained. They did not dare to do anything. Even when the Prime Minister saw her son being tortured, she cursed for a long time.
Although Sun Qiyue had no injuries on her body, the Prime Minister was such a good person. She knew everything at a glance at her son's appearance.
Chu Li heard the cell leader say that the prime minister was doing well, but he didn't say anything. It seemed that the prime minister hadn't sensed the danger yet.
They were all imprisoned in jail, and she didn't even make any follow-up preparations. If she didn't have a backup plan, she was too confident in herself.
In other words, the prime minister believed that Fengyang would not execute her. After all, in her eyes, the monarch was still the little girl who couldn't even handle the trouble.
When Chu Li came to the cell where the prime minister was, the prime minister was playing chess with him leisurely.
She really didn't expect that she could still get chess cards and chess pieces. Chu Li immediately glanced at the prison boss next to her.
The cell leader smiled awkwardly. She didn't want to. After all, where could she put her cell leader's face? But he was the prime minister. If she was okay and left here, she couldn't offend him to death.
Chu Li must have known what the cell leader was thinking, so he looked away at her.
Chu Li looked at the Prime Minister who was playing chess with a smile and said hello to her, "Prime Minister, how are you?"
After the prime minister heard Chu Li's voice, he did not stop making moves. Instead, he replied while making moves, "Thanks to the prince, I am fine."
"Your Excellency, the Prime Minister, it seems that he is fine, but that may not be the case once he is able to do so."
"Really? What do you think, Your Majesty?" the Prime Minister asked Chu Li.
"I can't speak of high opinions, just some insights." Chu Li wanted to tell the prime minister that her good days were coming to an end.
The Prime Minister ignored Chu Li and said, "Opinion is usually not the final result."
Chu Li nodded, "You are right, but sometimes opinions are facts."
The Prime Minister finally landed the last piece, and it turned out to be a draw. He had never played a draw before, but now there is a draw. Does it mean that there is something to be discovered?
No, it won't happen. When Fengyang investigates clearly, she will still be the prime minister.
When Chu Li saw that the Prime Minister stopped talking, she looked at the Prime Minister's chessboard and saw that it was a draw! But she didn't seem satisfied with the draw. She was playing chess with herself. Isn't a draw the best outcome?
But Chu Li didn't know that the Prime Minister was always proud and she could not allow her chess game to end in a draw or defeat.
That is to say, every time she plays a game with herself, she must win, and she must win against the other person every time.
The Prime Minister in this state is indeed a little sick. If I kill myself, I must kill myself.
The prime minister didn't speak, Chu Li didn't speak either, and the prison chief waiting by the side didn't dare to speak either.
The quiet state at this time was a little strange. They didn't speak, as if they were competing invisibly.
The Prime Minister seemed to have realized this. She raised her head and looked at Chu Li without saying a word, but with a fierce light in her eyes.
When Chu Li saw that this man still wanted to threaten her, she stared back at the prime minister.
In the competition between their eyes, neither one gave in to the other, and who knew who would win.
…
After Chu Li left the imperial prison, he immediately went to the palace to look for Fengyang.
Fengyang, who was reviewing the memorial in the imperial study, heard the commotion outside the door and became a little upset. As soon as he put the brush down, he went to see who was making the noise outside.
Then her eyes met Chu Li's eyes outside the door. The two looked at each other wordlessly, as if they had a lot to say, but also seemed to have nothing to say.
Fengyang looked at the chamberlain who was holding Chu Li and waved to them.
When the chamberlain saw this, he immediately let go of Chu Li. No one stopped him. Chu Li rubbed his wrist and walked into the imperial study.
The chamberlain looked at Fengyang, as if asking them if they wanted to pull Chu Li out. Fengyang sighed, waved his hand, and told them to just stay outside the door.
Fengyang also returned to the imperial study. She didn't know why Feng Xue came suddenly. Did he have something to say to her? But if not, wouldn't it look like she's a little pretentious.
But if she didn't speak first, Feng Xue would never get close to her again.
Chu Li had similar thoughts to her. She also had a complicated feeling when she looked at Fengyang. Logically speaking, Fengyang and Fengyang were relatives, so they should have a good relationship.
However, there is still suspicion, hatred, and jealousy between them... which prevents them from getting along like ordinary sisters.
Both of them tried to speak first, but the result was, "I..."
"I……"
"You speak first."
"You speak first."
Chu Li paused and said what she wanted to say, "Fengyang, will you let the prime minister go?"
Fengyang was a little surprised by the question her sister asked her. Fengxue was really pretending to be ignorant. She was not surprised. She had known that this sister was very powerful since she was a child.
If she hadn't bribed her mother, oh, no, it should be said that she was someone close to the late emperor, the throne would have belonged to her younger sister.
The late emperor always liked his sister and thought that her sister was very similar to her and both were so sassy, so she wanted to give Feng Xue the position of king.
But it's a pity that the late emperor ignored her, who was always unwilling to accept her, so that Feng Xue was just a prince and always looked down upon her.
Now Feng Xue asked her if she would let the prime minister go, and whether she was telling the truth or lying.
"Feng Xue, I will not let the Prime Minister escape."
In the end, she told the truth.
"That's good, sister." Chu Li looked at Fengyang seriously.
Because a memory suddenly popped up in her mind, or in other words, Feng Xue remembered a memory.
On that day, Feng Xue held the dagger and fought with the ferocious wolf.
The wolf scratched Feng Xue with its claws, but Feng Xue did not suffer any loss. She wounded the wolf with a dagger and stabbed the wolf several times.
