Chapter 39

  Murong Lingyun didn't think much more, after all, he had never doubted her and didn't want to doubt her. He obediently drank the medicine in the bowl in one gulp, then looked at her with a hint of seeking praise, "Done, I've finished drinking."

  When Ling Feng saw his childish smile, he smiled slightly and said, "Good, well-behaved." She remembered that when she was ill before, she didn't want to drink the bitter Chinese medicine, but he would always think of ways to coax her into drinking it. Every time she finished drinking, he would say those words. At that time, although the medicine was very bitter, seeing his gentle smile and hearing his considerate words made her feel a kind of intoxicating sweetness.

  Today, she finally got him to take the medicine once, and in doing so, she also finally said that kind of slightly playful words to him, still carrying a kind of intoxicating sweetness, if only one could completely ignore the heavy shadows in their hearts.

  She took the bowl from his hand and naturally wiped off the remaining medicine at the corner of his mouth.

  The figure standing outside the door stiffened slightly, as if carrying a hint of abnormality, as if desperately suppressing something.

  After drinking the medicine, Mu Rong Lingyun inadvertently raised his eyes and happened to see Xuan Yuan Chen's figure half-turned around. He was slightly surprised and shouted, "Your Highness." He had expected that the Emperor would let Xuan Yuan Chen come, but he hadn't thought it would be so soon. Remembering the sound of war drums that had just been transmitted, he furrowed his brow slightly. Could it be that as soon as His Highness arrived at Xi Liang City, he went out to battle? From what he knew about Xuan Yuan Chen, he shouldn't be such a rash person.

  Ling Feng heard his shout, her body stiffened slightly, without turning around, but in her heart, she was secretly worried, wondering if Xuan Yuan Chen had just heard her conversation with Murong Lingyun.

  If he heard it, would he, , , , , , , ?

  Xuanyuan slowly walked in, but his movements seemed somewhat heavy, with a hint of abnormality.

  As he walked into the room, he seemed to unintentionally glance at Ling Feng and asked indifferently, "It seems that Commander Murong's injury should be fine." In his light tone, there was no concern or tenderness, only a cold smile flashing in the depths of his eyes as he approached closer and looked at Ling Feng again.

  Ling Feng's heart was increasingly frightened, but he could only stand quietly, not daring to make a sound.

  Murong Lingyun saw Xuan Yuan Zhen gazing at Ling Feng's eyes, and his own eyes flashed slightly as he hastily said, "Your Highness, she only came to Western Liang City privately because of her concern for my injury. Please don't blame her."

  Xuanyuan Cheng's lips curled slightly, his eyes sank slightly, and he said with a hint of meaning, "She is really concerned about you, isn't she?"

  Murong Lingyun was momentarily stunned, and for a while, he couldn't get his head around it. He could only plead again, "I hope Your Highness won't blame her."

  Xuan Yuan's lips slowly curved upwards, yet somehow it didn't evoke even a hint of smile. "How could I possibly blame him? I...," his words trailed off as he gazed straight at Ling Feng with an icy stare.

  Ling Feng was shocked and raised her eyes in dismay, meeting his cold gaze. In her disbelieving eyes, there was an instinctive plea, hoping he wouldn't be so ruthless as to reveal the truth at this moment. If it had to be said, she wished he would wait until Mu Rong Ling Yun's wound healed, and then she herself would speak up.

  When her pleading eyes met his, he seemed to suddenly have a thread of mercy in his heart, and immediately changed his tone, "I am truly moved by your deep brotherly love."

  Murong Lingyun's eyebrows furrowed slightly, he and Xuan Yuan Chen had never really collaborated before, but he understood him very well, normally he would never say something like that.

  Although there were some doubts in his heart, he didn't show any of it and only said gratefully, "Thank you, Your Highness."

  Xuan Yuan Chen's eyes were still staring straight at Ling Feng, saying slowly, "You don't have to thank me, if you want to thank someone, it should be this good sister of yours." As soon as he finished speaking, his eyes suddenly turned towards Murong Lingyun, a pair of sharp eyes tightly staring at him, wanting to see some unusual expression on Murong Lingyun's face.

  Murong Lingyun was taken aback by his words, and her eyes quickly turned to Ling Feng. She had always felt that Xuan Yuan Chen was a bit strange today.

  Thank her? What he had to do was not just thank her, but Xuan Yuan Chen's words "sister" were like a fish bone that suddenly got stuck in his throat, unable to go up or down, feeling very uncomfortable.

  Xuan Yuan's eyes suddenly turned cold, his back stiffened unconsciously, as if he was enduring pain, and his eyebrows furrowed slightly. He said in a low voice, "The king won't disturb your sibling reunion." The deep voice made it hard to detect much emotion, but the gaze towards Ling Feng was much colder than when he first entered. "As for other matters, I believe there will be enough time to discuss them later." Although he didn't explicitly state it, his words were clearly a reminder to Ling Feng.

  Murong Lingyun thought he was referring to the Western Liang City, so he respectfully said, "Don't worry, Your Highness. I will give you a detailed report about this side of things later."

  "That's for the best." Xuan Yuan Che didn't explain further, instead he echoed his words and glanced at Ling Feng once more before leaving.

  Ling Feng let out a slight sigh of relief as he watched him leave, while Mu Rong Ling Yun's eyes flashed with too many doubts.

  Xuan Yuan Che returned to the room with increasingly heavy footsteps. Chu Wei helped him take off his battle armor, and upon seeing the fresh blood seeping from his back, he couldn't help but exclaim, "Your Highness, you're injured!" The urgency in his voice was undisguised concern. "Someone, quickly go summon the imperial physician."

  "It's nothing, the wound on my body is fine." Xuan Yuan Chen quickly interrupted Chu Wei's words, his back was only a minor skin injury, and there was no major problem, but what was serious was the internal injury he had just suffered from his last blow with Da Xu Ran.

  He had just been on the battlefield with Da Xuran, and he clearly felt that his strength was not in his heart. He knew that if he continued to entangle with Da Xuran, he would definitely lose. So he used all his strength to make a final blow against Da Xuran, injuring him, but also causing himself severe internal injuries.

  The military doctor couldn't treat his internal injuries, and he didn't want anyone to know that he was hurt. He just recalled the scene when she fed medicine to Murong Lingyun, and a complex glint flashed quickly in his eyes.
