"Li'er!"
The person on the bed suddenly opened their eyes.
Those deep, dark star-like eyes were still clouded.
But the name he kept murmuring was still that name: Li'er!
The atmosphere in the chamber suddenly became much heavier.
Feng Jinrui whispered, "Big Brother, are you really awake?"
Earlier, his elder brother had woken up once or twice, each time only calling out the demoness's name before falling back asleep.
But this time, the hazy color in his eyes seemed to be gradually clearing.
"Big Brother..."
"So, the first thing you do upon waking is to worry about the woman who, in league with others, not only abandoned you but also injured you?"
Hua Rong's voice carried a hint of exhaustion, but more so, disappointment and anger.
She had never expected that after waiting day and night for her son to wake up, the first person he would call out for was that woman!
Feng Jinrui, not noticing someone had entered the room, had been too focused on his elder brother.
Seeing Hua Rong enter now, his heart leaped. He quickly stood up and stepped aside.
Feng Ye Xuan, his unfocused gaze slowly gathering on Hua Rong's face, had woken up.
Hua Rong walked to the bedside and glanced at Feng Jinrui.
The latter merely lowered his head, not looking at her, but because he wasn't sure if Feng Ye Xuan had truly woken up, he was unwilling to leave.
Granny Cui looked at Feng Jinrui and sighed inwardly.
Such a straightforward, honest young man, yet before the Venerable Master, he was so humble, it was truly heart-wrenching.
But she dared not speak, for speaking out of turn would only anger the Venerable Master.
The Venerable Master was very angry right now.
"Are you done?" Hua Rong stared at Feng Ye Xuan.
Feng Ye Xuan did not speak. Supporting himself, he slowly sat up, closed his eyes, and began to regulate his breathing through meditation.
Whether he was truly recovered or not was uncertain for now, but his consciousness was genuinely clear.
"That woman has been in Chu Minghao's Yuhua Palace."
Hua Rong let out a cold snort, her face filled with disdain. "She's either following Feng Wuya, or staying by the side of that so-called Ye Qingying, or perhaps she's with Feng Qihe."
She wasn't trying to mock her son's poor taste, but rather, she was utterly disgusted with Chu Qianli.
"Now, she's in Marquis Hao's courtyard. I heard she went there herself. If you don't believe me, you can order someone to investigate."
Wasn't that woman very capable? If she hadn't willingly stayed in Chu Minghao's place, who could have stopped her?
If it were truly Chu Minghao who had confined her to the courtyard, Hua Rong absolutely would not believe it.
Someone she couldn't even keep confined, could a mere Marquis Hao possibly hold her?
"She is now a sinner of Long Teng. I don't know what tricks she played to suddenly become the Li King, but as far as I know, Wei Xian is currently in control of the court in Long Teng. Wei Xian would not be so lenient towards such a sinner."
Therefore, this so-called Li King must have been obtained through some scheme.
It might not be genuine.
"Heaven and Earth Lock..."
Hua Rong's words paused. She turned her head and glanced at Feng Jinrui. "Why are you still lingering here?"
Feng Jinrui looked at Feng Ye Xuan.
Feng Ye Xuan had indeed woken up. Although he didn't seem to have much energy, at least he was truly conscious.
He didn't say anything further and turned to leave.
After Feng Jinrui left, Feng Ye Xuan looked at Hua Rong, his expressionless. "Jinrui is my own brother. If there's anything in the future that Jinrui cannot hear, then there's no need to tell me. Between me and Jinrui, there have never been any secrets!"
