Upon hearing this, Chu Qianli's expression shifted slightly, as an aura of defense instantly surrounded her.
How could she have forgotten this detail?
If the Prince took too great an interest in Uncle Jiu, insisting on seeing him, then she would become the Prince's best tool to use!
Had Uncle Jiu not considered this point either?
Chu Lingyang was looking at her with a shallow smile at this moment.
Chu Qianli looked back at him, her expression somewhat stern, "I thought the Prince and he were truly comrades in life and death. It seems I was mistaken!"
"Ha!"
Chu Lingyang didn't get angry or flustered, "Trying to provoke me? I have battled in the fields for so many years, if such provocation worked on me, I'm afraid I would have died countless times."
Chu Qianli didn't speak, and her fingers, resting on the table, slowly clenched tighter.
"Alright, I was just scaring you, look how frightened you've become."
