Leng Feng pushed the chopsticks offered to him towards Su Ling'er. The latter, burping, looked at the person in front of her with a smile, gazing at her affectionately, with a questioning expression.
Didn't this person just say he was hungry? What was the meaning of pushing the food offered to his mouth back?
Leng Feng reached out and pinched Su Ling'er's face, looking at her with deep affection, and said words that made Su Ling'er want to collapse. "You probably haven't eaten this before, right? His Majesty specially prepared this for the Prince. It tastes very good, here, you eat it!"
Looking at the meatball coated in dust that was pushed towards her, Su Ling'er was on the verge of tears. If Leng Feng hadn't looked at her with doting affection while saying this, she would have suspected if he had seen her secretly eating and then picking up the meat from the ground and putting it back into the bowl, and was thus retaliating against her!
She opened her mouth to say she wasn't hungry, but before the words could come out, she started to hiccup uncontrollably. Leng Feng, worried that she would save it for him, took the opportunity when she opened her mouth to stuff the meatball into it.
Su Ling'er's heart was utterly broken at that moment. She truly wished she could spit the meatball onto Leng Feng's face. Then she would shove it into his mouth and make him chew it into pieces and swallow it!
But she couldn't do that! Leng Feng was only under the influence of the infatuation incense. The duration of the drug was not long, and he had not yet completely lost his mind. He wouldn't be obedient to her if she did that now. If she really did that, all her previous efforts would be in vain!
Su Ling'er's lips twitched. She ferociously treated the meatball in her mouth as a substitute for Leng Feng, bit it into small pieces, and swallowed it.
Leng Feng didn't notice the subtle expressions on her face. Seeing Su Ling'er eating so heartily, he was also in a good mood, with his mouth open, waiting for Su Ling'er to feed him.
Looking at his pathetic state, Su Ling'er regretted it again. What on earth was the point of her taking such a big risk to sneak into Qingya Pavilion? Let alone drugging Huo Qiyuan, she hadn't even seen a single strand of Huo Qiyuan's hair.
Had she worked so hard to sneak in just to see this pathetic man with his mouth wide open, waiting to be fed?
No matter how unwilling Su Ling'er was, Leng Feng felt very happy. They fed each other, taking turns, and finished all the leftover rice in the bowl.
Although Leng Feng wasn't full, he felt disheartened thinking that Su Ling'er only ate a little each time and fed the rest to him.
Seeing that the sky was getting dark outside, he wondered how his elder brother and tenth brother were doing. Tenth brother… Only then did Leng Feng have time to ponder why he suddenly attacked Leng Nuo at that moment.
What had Leng Nuo done or said that enraged him? Why couldn't he recall it at all now? Leng Feng desperately wanted to recall the scene, but his head felt like it was going to explode whenever he thought about it.
Leng Feng suddenly remembered encountering this feeling before!
On those few occasions when he woke up in the middle of the night and saw dead chickens and chicken blood on the ground, he had also tried to recall what had happened before, but every time he tried, his head would start to hurt terribly. Gradually, he stopped trying to think about it.
But what was going on? Leng Feng had always thought it was because he had somnambulism that he would sneak into the kitchen in the middle of the night to steal chickens.
But at the time of this incident, he remembered that they had just finished a meeting in the morning, and the army was preparing to set off for Chehe City in three days. They were all returning to Qingya Pavilion to pack their bags…
That's right! They were packing their bags, but he seemed not to have packed. Leng Feng slowly closed his eyes, trying to recall what he was doing and thinking at that moment.
"You guys say… How to deal with Huo Qixiao…"
"If it were me… inject him with nerve… carve him into a thousand pieces…"
"His Majesty… the poison given… makes him wish he were dead"
"Why think so much… I wish I could kill him with my own hands…"
Various voices flashed through Leng Feng's mind. Cold sweat broke out on his forehead due to the headache.
"She's just a maid… the Prince definitely won't agree…"
"The scent on her… can't you smell it…"
"What should I do…"
Leng Feng was shocked to realize he could hear his own thoughts? He wasn't packing his bags at that time, was he thinking about these things?
"Second Brother, why aren't you packing your things?…" It was Leng Nuo's voice! Leng Feng tried to calm his mind. He had a strong feeling that what Leng Nuo was about to say next was the cause of his sudden outburst. "Are you reluctant to…"
"Leng Feng, *hic* Big Brother, Leng Feng *hic* Big Brother, what's wrong with you *hic*? Don't *hic* scare me, Leng *hic* Feng, Big Brother, I'm *hic* Ling'er…" Su Ling'er couldn't stop hiccuping whenever she spoke. She felt extremely embarrassed but still had to feign worry as she called out to the person on the bed with his eyes tightly shut.
Leng Feng's eyes snapped open, and a fierce killing intent flashed in his eyes. He had almost remembered what Leng Nuo had said, but he was interrupted by Su Ling'er!
Perhaps because Leng Feng's gaze was too fierce, Su Ling'er was truly startled, and even her hiccups stopped. Could it be that he had discovered something? Otherwise, why would he look at her with such eyes!
Su Ling'er stopped trying to get attention and quietly retreated to the side, standing properly. Only then did Leng Feng notice that there were several people standing at the doorway.
Since the incident that morning, Leng Si and Leng Ao had not come to see Leng Feng. When Leng Nuo was lifted onto the eagle's back, he was so weak that only a trace of breath remained. With such severe injuries, he could die on the way at any time…
They were very worried about Tenth Brother's situation, but they didn't know how to inquire about his condition. Therefore, even though they knew Leng Feng was also feeling very unwell, they still didn't come to see him.
Their eldest brother was suffering from severe pain, and Tenth Brother's life was uncertain. If they came to show concern and visit Leng Feng, the perpetrator, it would be an insult to Leng Ren and Leng Nuo.
However, upon hearing Leng Heng say that he seemed to be very seriously ill, the two couldn't help but worry. After all, they had been good brothers for over ten years, and some things couldn't be ignored just by saying so. Thus, Leng Heng stayed to take care of Leng Ren, while Leng Si and Leng Ao brought a military doctor to see how Leng Feng was.
"Second Brother…"
"Second Brother…"
The two men greeted him with long faces, saying nothing else. They beckoned the military doctor to come forward to check Leng Feng's pulse. As for Su Ling'er, who was intentionally or unintentionally approaching them, they didn't even glance at her.
The military doctor's brows were tightly furrowed. This person's pulse was truly strange, fluctuating, sometimes appearing and sometimes disappearing, weak yet strong. Although his internal energy was vigorous and robust, it was paradoxically mixed with severe depletion.
He stroked his beard and shook his head with a solemn expression. "Deputy General Leng Feng's body is very weak, but this old man is truly unable to diagnose any other ailments he may have. Judging solely by his pulse, his condition is not optimistic!"
