"I... how could I possibly know?" Chu Qianli hastily denied.
Yexuan's gaze was fixed intently on her eyes, reaching deep into their depths in an instant!
Chu Qianli had been trying to appear calm, but after all, this man was someone she had once deeply loved.
Any emotional nuance in her eyes was hard to escape his discerning gaze.
"You've been to Lingjiu Hall." This statement was not a question!
Chu Qianli knew she could not hide it and cast a sidelong glance at Little Shunzi.
Little Shunzi hurriedly retreated.
She lifted her head to meet Yexuan's aggressive gaze: "The night before I was abandoned at Prince Residence, I did indeed visit Lingjiu Hall and met the National Advisor."
"But he is very powerful, and I fainted unconsciously while talking to him. When I woke up, I found myself in Prince Residence, captured by the guards."
Yexuan's gaze was too sharp; lying to him might not make him believe.
Thus, some things had to be accompanied by the truth.
