"Ye Xuan..."
Feng Ling's heart was complicated, with many words she wanted to say but dared not.
Why was he so certain that Yu Xing hadn't left on her own?
But she didn't dare to ask.
Feng Ye Xuan was too astute; any further questions would surely arouse his suspicion.
"Since you are still busy, I won't disturb you. Drink the ginseng soup, and I'll tidy up and go rest."
Without further hesitation, Feng Ye Xuan picked up the bowl.
Feng Ling knew clearly that he just wanted her to leave quickly.
The current Feng Ye Xuan was unwilling even to face her!
However, once he finished the ginseng soup and the蛊毒 (gu poison) acted up tonight, she would re-deepen his hypnosis, and everything would be fine.
It would get better soon.
Watching Feng Ye Xuan bring the bowl to his lips, a trace of pleasure couldn't help but flash in Feng Ling's eyes.
But she quickly lowered her gaze, fearing Feng Ye Xuan would notice.
As long as he drank it, everything would become wonderful...
But damn it, just as Feng Ye Xuan was about to drink the soup, hurried footsteps suddenly sounded from outside.
Wang Yue had arrived!
"Your Highness, the situation in Fuhua Village has changed. Princess Li is already packing to depart!"
Feng Ye Xuan slammed the soup bowl down and stood up to leave.
"Ye Xuan..."
"You go back and rest!"
With those words, Feng Ye Xuan strode away.
In Feng Ling's sight, his figure vanished outside the door like a gust of wind.
Looking at the empty doorway, she was momentarily unable to recover.
He had left.
He had left so resolutely and decisively!
Just because Wang Yue said Chu Qian Li was departing, he couldn't wait to chase after her!
That damned slut! She was truly a persistent nuisance!
Looking at the half-spilled bowl of ginseng soup on the desk, the killing intent in Feng Ling's eyes gradually intensified.
As long as Chu Qian Li was alive, Feng Ye Xuan would never belong to her!
Even with the 蛊毒 (gu poison), even with hypnosis, his heart still leaned towards Chu Qian Li!
What kind of deep and steadfast affection could break through layer after layer of obstacles!
Did he really like Chu Qian Li that much?
Feng Ling clenched her palm, and finally, unable to resist, she slammed her palm onto the desk.
"Chu Qian Li, if I don't kill you, I swear I am not human!"
...
Chu Qian Li was indeed heading out.
After resolving the epidemic in Xinhua Village, she had originally planned to go to Fuhua Village.
It was just that before she could prepare her things, bad news arrived from there.
The physicians couldn't cope, and the villagers were fleeing.
Prince Ling had already rushed to Fuhua Village to help the main contingent stabilize the villagers.
But the epidemic there was developing too rapidly. If it couldn't be resolved, force wouldn't solve it.
The ultimate outcome would be either mass casualties or mass deaths from illness.
"Princess, I'll go with you!" Xi Jiu was most worried about the dangers on the road.
"No, you must stay and keep an eye on Xinhua Village, in case anything unexpected happens."
Although Chu Ming Hao had not caused trouble since his serious injury, there was still Lan Fan here.
Lan Fan had also been injured before, but after three days of recuperation, his ability to cause trouble had returned.
It was just not as potent as before, and he still needed some time to recover.
"Jing Ri's injury has not healed yet. The people brought by Prince Xuan are few, and Prince Xuan himself is unlikely to deal with these trivial matters."
He was a big shot, after all, and might find minor issues related to villagers bothersome.
"So you..."
"Who said this Prince is unwilling?"
Feng Ye Xuan's cold voice pierced through: "You dead woman, you're slandering me again. Have you eaten bear gall and leopard guts?"
