Chapter 1567: Chapter 1567: Big Brother will definitely not agree

The palace was in chaos.

The high officials waited outside the palace.

But in the end, Feng Bufan did not wait for everyone’s judgment.

Upon hearing that the Great General had returned with troops, he spat out a mouthful of blood and rolled off the Imperial Carriage on the spot.

Dead.

It was unclear whether he died of illness or fright.

But ultimately, he died.

Empress Nangong Shuya took Prince He and fled the Imperial City by night, returning to the Medicine Man Army’s headquarters in the Heifeng Mountain.

It is said that the mountain terrain is treacherous, easy to defend and hard to attack.

After stabilizing the affairs in the court, Feng Yexuan recovered from his injuries and personally led the army to bring back Nangong Shuya, the mastermind behind the Medicine Man Corps.

As for those medicine men controlled by Hua Rong, they were now placed in the valley outside the city, fed daily with the antidote developed by Chu Qianli. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

Over a month had passed by now, and some medicine men were beginning to regain their consciousness.

Those who had yet to recover were gradually looking healthier and more normal.

It was believed that soon, they would all recover.

This Medicine Man Army that plagued Beiming for more than ten years was steadily being dismantled.

The future was bound to be bright!

The day Chu Qianli handed the last batch of developed medicine to Liujin, she packed her bags, about to leave.

Fu Long was still waiting outside the city.

Yet, just before leaving the palace, someone stopped her.

"Jinrui?" Chu Qianli was a bit surprised, "Shouldn’t you be learning to handle state affairs? What are you doing here?"

"Are you going to find my elder brother?" Feng Jinrui had come alone, having dismissed the little eunuchs around him.

Chu Qianli originally didn’t plan to hide it, she just feared everyone would try to persuade her to stay, so she hadn’t mentioned it beforehand.

She nodded, "That’s right, your elder brother is now battling the Medicine Man Army, and I want to join him."

Feng Jinrui didn’t speak, just lowered his gaze, watching Chu Qianli’s shadow cast on the ground by the moonlight.

"Jinrui, I know you care for your brother, but this time, you must stay in the palace."

The palace could not be without a master.

After Feng Yexuan ascended the throne, Feng Jinrui was appointed as Prince Rui.

It was Feng Yexuan’s personal order for him to remain in the palace and manage the Dynasty’s affairs.

He absolutely could not leave.

"I know my brother’s intentions." Feng Jinrui’s handsome face showed deep disappointment.

"My brother doesn’t want to be Emperor, he wants to leave this Jiangshan to me, doesn’t he?"

Chu Qianli was momentarily stunned, saying nothing.

This guy, ingeniously wise yet appearing simple.

She touched her nose, cleared her throat lightly, and said, "Actually... your brother isn’t entirely ignoring you, he just... just hasn’t emotionally recovered, and also..."

Her gaze shifted from Feng Jinrui’s face to her own abdomen.

Long after, she softly said, "He just wants to give his child a peaceful life."

"Child?" Feng Jinrui followed her gaze, staring at her belly.

A moment later, his face instantly changed, "You... you... in your belly... you... are you pregnant?"

"Shh." Chu Qianli hurriedly signaled for him to be quiet.

This matter could not yet be made public, in case Empress Nangong Shuya and Prince He’s remaining allies used it against her and Feng Yexuan.

"But... how can you go to Heifeng Cliff like this?" It was... too risky! "Elder brother definitely wouldn’t agree to it!"

No wonder her brother didn’t want to leave her side, insisting she stay in the Imperial City rather than follow him.

Turns out, her brother already knew that the Enchantress’s current condition wasn’t as agile as before!
