Chapter 1383 Do You Believe Her or Me?
Yu Xing had come back to life, but she was too severely injured to have woken up yet.
Ding Chen had been taking care of her.
The villagers didn't know what had happened. They were still busy treating the sick and rebuilding the village.
Xi Jiu's preparations were complete, and he would be able to depart for the capital in a few days.
Once Chu Qianli was ready, they could also set off.
This was the second evening Yu Xing had been unconscious. Feng Ling arrived, accompanied by Leng Ji.
"I heard Yu Xing is back?" Feng Ling seemed very concerned about Yu Xing. "How is she now?"
Feng Ye Xuan was preparing medicine with Chu Qianli.
Recently, this Prince Xuan had abandoned martial arts for scholarship and begun researching medicinal herbs.
He had to admit, compared to a typical novice, he was a quick learner and his progress was astonishing.
Indeed, he was a chosen one, learning everything faster than others! Heaven was not fair this time; it had opened one door for him and all the other windows as well.
After just a few days by Chu Qianli's side, his medical skills were now comparable to those of an average physician.
Seeing Feng Ling rush in anxiously, a flicker of something crossed Feng Ye Xuan's eyes.
"Why are you so concerned about Yu Xing?" His tone was somewhat cold.
Feng Ling was stunned. "Ye Xuan, what do you mean by that?"
Chu Qianli, however, was somewhat surprised.
She had mentioned before that Yu Xing had been subjected to an illusion. So, Feng Ye Xuan now believed her and not Feng Ling?
This was rather unexpected.
After all, his body was still afflicted with蛊毒 (gu poison) and hypnosis.
It was incredible that he could still trust her.
"Ye Xuan, you believe her and not me?" Feng Ling pointed at Chu Qianli, furious.
Before coming, she had cautioned herself not to lose her composure in front of Feng Ye Xuan.
In front of Prince Xuan, the calmer she was, the more convincing she would be.
But she simply couldn't remain calm.
"Miss Feng, what do you mean by that?"
Chu Qianli raised an eyebrow, looking innocently at Feng Ling. "You and Prince Xuan are arguing, what does that have to do with me? Don't drag me into this; I'm very busy."
"You!" Feng Ling gritted her teeth, so angry her teeth were chattering.
Feng Ye Xuan, however, said calmly, "I still have things to do. If you feel you have too much free time, you can go out and see if you can help the villagers with anything."
"Ye Xuan..."
"We will be returning to the capital tomorrow. You should go back and prepare as well."
"Tomorrow?" Feng Ling was surprised. She had thought they would leave tonight.
Chu Qianli also looked at Feng Ye Xuan, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.
Hadn't they agreed to set off tonight?
However, she quickly understood.
The plan hadn't changed; he simply didn't intend to tell Feng Ling.
It seemed that in Feng Ye Xuan's heart, Feng Ling was not as important as she thought.
The蛊毒 was still in his body, yet his feelings were constantly changing. Was the蛊毒 not potent enough, or was Prince Xuan too formidable?
For now, it remained an unknown.
"We have been out for a long time. I don't know how my master is doing; we must return as soon as possible."
Feng Ye Xuan explained calmly, then added, "Go back and pack your things."
"Ye Xuan..."
"This Prince has matters to attend to!" Feng Ye Xuan suddenly emphasized his words.
Feng Ling bit her lip, swallowing all her words.
He was angry with her again.
Recently, he had been getting angry with her and impatient with her from time to time.
He was no longer the Feng Ye Xuan who used to dote on her to the extreme!
"Alright, I'll go back and pack my things." To avoid him disliking her even more, Feng Ling could only endure the indignity. "Ye Xuan, you should also go back and rest early."
