Chapter 1183: Ghost Saint Country (Part 144)
betrothed to""Xier, where is the jade pendant that your mother gave you"Feng Lingxi took out the jade pendant, Dugu City snatched it over, took out the one in his arms and put it together, it was ind..."Alright, don't overthink it. As long as he agrees not to talk about this here for now, that's enough. Once we finish with this, let's go back early and celebrate Wan'er's birthday."
When it came to Wan'er, Feng Lingxi's face was filled with guilt.
"Timewise, it's probably too late. We've been here for three days already, and counting the travel time, it's been four days. This time, Wan'er can only get through it herself."
"She still has Feng Yixuan and Xiao Mi by her side. Don't think too much, let's do our best."
"Du Gu Cheng comforted her, looking at the fatigue on her face, and thinking about being in the cave today, he cared, "Xi'er, are you feeling unwell You stayed in the cave for a while today."
"It's fine, I disinfected everything. Besides, my constitution is different from normal people, nothing will happen."
"What does it mean to have different constitutions"
Dugu Cheng's face was grim, he reached out to check on her, but Feng Lingxi withdrew her hand. "It's nothing, after being treated in Pashi, my physique is more resistant to toxins than normal people."
"Really"
Du Gu Cheng's face was full of disbelief. Feng Ling Xi nodded, "Of course it's true, why would I lie to you."
"Tomorrow, this king will leave the city to check on the situation in Dongtai Kingdom. As for Tumuwzhen, everything is left to you. If anything happens, have Yumo help you. This king will be back soon."
Du Gu Cheng reminded, seeing Feng Ling Xi nodded and yawned before walking over to scoop her up in his arms.
"Go to sleep, you haven't slept well these past few days. Don't wear yourself out, this king is worried about you."
His domineering yet pampering tone made Feng Lingxi chuckle. Coming here, who wouldn't be tired
However, perhaps she was truly exhausted. Feng Lingxi lay on the bed and fell asleep quickly.
Dugu Cheng watched her fall asleep, tucked the blanket around her, went out, and closed the door.
In the garden of Chenwang Mansion, Wan'er and Tian Xiaomi were planting flowers. Since Feng Lingxi had gone out these days, Tian Xiaomi wanted to find a way to cheer Wan'er up, so she took her to plant flowers.
At first, Wan'er didn't feel like it. But when she saw the beautiful flowers blooming in the garden, she was willing to follow Tian Xiaomi to plant flowers because Tian Xiaomi told her that her mother loved flowers very much.
And the guests at Chen Wangfu would come every day, no matter how many were stopped.
This person is Luoli. Ever since that day, Wan'er ignored him, and Luoli felt very uncomfortable in his heart. He came to find her, thinking about how in a few days it would be her birthday, and see if she liked anything. Feng Lingxi's journey this time, it was certainly impossible to return to celebrate Wan'er's birthday.
"You're always so punctual."
Tian Xiaomi got up and noticed someone in front of her. She didn't need to look to know it was Luo Li.
"Wan'er, would you like to go out for a meal with your master There's a very good restaurant that just opened in town. Master will take you to eat chicken legs"
"No."
Waner continued to dig with her small shovel, without looking up.
This move, falling away without the slightest hint of giving up, nor anger.
"Are you still mad at your master Your parents don't have time to come back and celebrate your birthday with you. Master has prepared a lot of things you like. Anything you want, Master will buy it for you, okay"
"Not good."
Wan'er raised her eyes, her round eyes staring at him, filled with displeasure.
"You are a bad guy."
"I…"
How did he become a villain Luo Li took a deep breath, thinking about Wan'er's attitude towards him now compared to when they were in Gui Sheng Guo. They were worlds apart.
What happened to her when she was kidnapped by the people of Huangxia before really left a shadow in her heart, making her not act like a child anymore.
"Wan'er, are you still holding a grudge against Huangxia Chao for taking you away Master has destroyed Huangxia Chao for you..."
"I'll destroy you."
Wan'er rolled her eyes. "I don't want to talk to you."
Luo Li's face turned ashen, and Tian Xiaomi crouched down, whispering to Wan'er, "Wan'er, don't say anymore, if we anger him, we won't be able to beat him."
He won't kill me, I am the future chief.
Wan'er raised her eyes and glanced at Luoli, "You talk about it every day, I'm not a three-year-old child."
“...”
Tian Xiaomi really wanted to remind Wan'er that she was only two years old, but Wan'er's intelligence was definitely higher than that of ordinary children, not just a little bit. Perhaps as Xi'er said, Wan'er's soul might also be an adult.
"I'll go back first and come find you when it's your birthday." Luoli left. He thought Wan'er would be reluctant to let him go, but when he reached the door and turned back to look, Wan'er didn't even glance at him.
"How can Wan'er be like an adult"
Feng Yu Xi murmured to herself in the evening rain, Lu Li's eyes swept over her with indifference. Feng Yu Xi hurriedly lowered her head, not daring to speak again.
"Wan'er, what do you think Luo Li comes to see you every day for"
"Come on, flatter me. What else is there"
Wan'er's answer left Tian Xiaomǐ feeling uneasy. Looking at her innocent young face, she suppressed the unease in her heart and asked, "Wan'er, there's something I want to ask you. Can you understand what we're saying"
Wan'er looked at Tian Xiaomi without answering, but opened her eyes instead.
Tian Xiaomi increasingly felt that Wan'er might be like Xi'er and her, not from this world.
Feng Lingxi was awakened early in the morning by the urgent knocking at the door. When she opened her eyes, Dugu Cheng was no longer by her side, and she didn't know when he had left.
"Your Highness, something has happened."
Xiao Li outside the door was in a hurry, pushing open the door and rushing in. Feng Ling Xi had put on her clothes and, seeing Xiao Li's anxious expression, hurriedly asked, "What's wrong"
Young Master Yu Mo has a fever.
"Where is the person"
Feng Ling hurriedly walked out, Xiao Li chased after her, "In the slums, she was helping there all day yesterday. For some reason, this morning she suddenly had a fever. Doctor Tian said that it's very likely she caught an infection."
"How could I be infected"
Feng Lingxi hurriedly rode her horse to the slums. Upon arrival, Feng Yu Mo lay there, his face pale. When he saw Feng Lingxi, he tried to get up, but Feng Lingxi stopped him.
"Your Highness, the young general seems to..."
Before Dr. Tian could finish his words, Feng Lingxi quickly stepped forward, knelt down, and grasped Feng Yumo's wrist to feel his pulse. After a careful examination, she confirmed that Feng Yumo indeed had a fever, a high one at that.
"Does anyone else here feel unwell"
Everyone shook their heads. They were all wearing the face masks made by Xiao Li, and they had all been here for a day and night, yet they were all fine, except for Feng Yu Mo.
"What did he touch yesterday Did he get hurt or drink anything"
"Yesterday, he applied ointment to the patient, and yesterday when he was handling the medicinal herbs, he accidentally cut his back, could this be related"
Feng Lingxi hurriedly grabbed Feng Yu Mo's hand to check the wound. It was just a scratch, nothing serious. Could a wounded area get infected with this illness
"Yu Mo, can you hear me"
Feng Lingxi swayed Feng Yu Mo's body, calling his name. Feng Yu Mo, with a high fever, was almost in a coma. Hearing Feng Lingxi's voice, he opened his hazy eyes.
"Sister, I'm fine." full of worry."Xier, this king thinks that we should find a time to take you and Empress Dowager back to Linxi County. I'm afraid this capital city is not stable."Feng Lingxi thought about it too, th...
