"Your Majesty, what does this mean?" Chu Qianli looked at the token that Eunuch Qing had brought before her.
"I know that you have a good relationship with Fu Long," the Emperor said from atop the Jade Chair, glancing at her askance.
Chu Qianli's expression did not change, and she did not attempt to hide it.
"Initially, I and Leader Fu Long went to Heifeng Cliff to gather information. Along the way, Leader Fu Long saved my life. Because of this, I have always been grateful and indebted to him."
The Emperor would find out about her and Fu Long's relationship sooner or later; it was only a matter of time.
As long as they didn't do anything too outrageous under his watch, anything that would harm the Emperor's interests, he would not mind for the time being.
With so many people within and outside the court, who didn't have connections with someone else?
The relationships were intricate and complex; the Emperor would turn a blind eye, as long as nothing was excessive.
