Chapter 1320 Are They Abandoned?
Feng Yexuan suddenly felt he had a lot to say to the woman before him.
Even though he himself didn't know what he wanted to say.
His mood was conflicted.
He was convinced Feng Ling was the woman in his heart, yet being with Feng Ling now felt stifling, making him want to escape.
Conversely, being with the woman he deemed promiscuous and detestable felt inexplicably relaxed.
Even enjoyable.
Even though what they were doing now was tedious and mundane.
But as long as he did it with her, it felt as if it became particularly meaningful.
"Hurry and wrap it up, don't miss anything, or the medicinal effect of the decoction will be greatly reduced."
"Okay." Hearing this, Feng Yexuan quickly collected his thoughts.
Any more words could only be kept in his heart.
He just really wanted to say: I'm sorry...
The entire day passed with everyone in a state of anxiety and vague anticipation.
At night, Chu Qianli received infuriating news: Lan Fan and Chu Minghao had decided to return to the imperial city!
They were actually going to abandon the people here and just leave!
"Princess, their staying here might not be beneficial to us. Isn't it better if they leave?"
Seeing Chu Qianli immediately put on her coat to chase after them, Xi Jiu was a bit confused. "Princess, aren't you afraid that Lan Fan staying will bring you more trouble?"
Whether it was Lan Fan or Chu Minghao, they wished to see the princess dead. They would naturally not be on the same side as the princess.
If they left, wouldn't it be better for the princess to focus wholeheartedly on treating the sick villagers without worrying about them causing trouble?
"Lan Fan represents the Lingjiu Hall. His presence here, even if he does nothing, at least lets the people know that someone from Lingjiu Hall is with them, giving them greater confidence to overcome the illness."
Her new medicine had not yet arrived. At this moment, faith was the greatest motivation for every patient.
If even faith was lost, these common people would not be able to hold on!
Xi Jiu only knew that after Lan Fan arrived, he did nothing. He even had to worry that he would secretly cause trouble, making the princess lose public favor.
But he didn't realize that Lan Fan represented Lingjiu Hall, the Imperial Preceptor, behind him.
Now, the Imperial Preceptor was critically ill, and his condition was unknown. Lingjiu Hall had sent Lan Fan, the Hall Master, here.
If even he left...
"I was ignorant. Princess, I will accompany you to chase Lan Fan and the others back." Xi Jiu picked up his sword, ready to leave.
Chu Qianli, however, said, "You don't need to go. You are no match for Lan Fan. Continue to order people to guard the village and prevent any major unrest."
"This..."
"I will accompany her," Feng Yexuan said, finishing packing the last packet of medicine and standing up.
Chu Qianli showed no surprise, as if she had expected him to set out with her.
She took a step and left.
Feng Yexuan walked behind her.
The two of them did not exchange a single word from beginning to end.
Xi Jiu stood frozen, watching their retreating figures, unable to fully comprehend.
These two... seemed to have such good chemistry!
...Lan Fan and Chu Minghao had already left the village.
The villagers who saw them were now rushing to tell each other: the people from Lingjiu Hall had left!
If even the people from Lingjiu Hall had left, did it mean that their Xinhua Village was completely hopeless?
If there was no hope, why should they stay and wait for death?
The people from Lingjiu Hall had abandoned them, so shouldn't they also leave?
If they didn't leave now, it would be a dead end!
