Chapter 685: This Time, It's For Real

After Leng Ji left, Chu Qianli slowly walked up to Xiaoyao.

She curled her lips into a smile, clearly delighted, "Now that you have been accused of murdering the Empress Dowager, do you think Yexuan will still protect you?"

Xiaoyao completely ignored her.

No matter what she was thinking, it was pointless to say anything in front of this woman.

It would only give her more opportunities to mock herself.

Chu Qianli continued, "Don't you want to know how you got yourself into this disaster?"

Still, Xiaoyao gave no response, walked over to a nearby tree, leaned against the trunk, and closed her eyes to rest.

"Your Majesty," Hongchou gently tugged at Chu Qianli's sleeve.

If it weren't for Chu Qianli being her benefactor, Hongchou probably wouldn't bother with her.

The emperor has gotten a bit carried away.

"Walls have ears," Hongchou whispered.

Chu Qianli pursed her lips, unwilling to give in.

It was a rare opportunity to ridicule someone.
