Chapter 303 Bullying the King
Su Fuliu was stunned after hearing this: "Ah... Your Highness isn't lying to me, is he?"
He ran away for no reason, so the Emperor should be angry with him. But Feng Muting is the Emperor's own son, so why would the Emperor be angry with Feng Muting?
"No, if you don't believe me, you can go and see Father."
Seeing that Feng Muting seemed very serious, Su Fuliu figured he wasn't lying.
He never expected that the Emperor would be angry with Feng Muting because of him, which shows how despicable Feng Muting's deception was, to the point that even the Emperor was angry.
However, after thinking for a moment, he asked again, "Has His Majesty punished the Prince again?"
Previously, Feng Muting was punished by the Emperor for not seeing him for a long time. Will the Emperor punish him again this time for lying?
Feng Muting was slightly taken aback, then blinked and sighed softly: "Although Father Emperor dotes on me, he is also very strict with me. He said that I was in the wrong this time and that I must apologize to you. If I fail to appease you, he will punish me again."
Upon hearing this, Su Fuliu immediately said, "Then you should quickly tell the Emperor that I have returned and ask him not to punish you."
He was grateful for the Emperor's fairness, but he didn't want Feng Muting to be punished.
Feng Muting's hand, which was on the table, slowly crawled towards Su Fuliu's hand. After reaching Su Fuliu's hand, he subtly grasped it.
Before Su Fuliu could react, Feng Muting firmly grasped his hand, and it was too late for him to pull it back.
"Although A-Liu has returned, she is still angry. It's no use talking to Father Emperor. Father Emperor said that I should coax her before I go to see him."
"Well, I've calmed down now. Go and talk to the Emperor. Otherwise, if we delay any longer, the Prince will be punished." This was what Su Fuliu was worried about.
"But A-Liu isn't really calm anymore. If I were to speak up about it, wouldn't that be deceiving the emperor?"
Su Fuliu was stunned for a moment, and then said, "I'm calm now, I'm really calm now. I didn't lie to the Prince, nor did I lie to the Emperor. I didn't deceive the Emperor."
"Has Ah Liu really calmed down?" Feng Muting's eyes lit up.
Su Fuliu nodded: "Your Highness has written so many letters of repentance and guarantees, how could I not be angry? However, if Your Highness dares to lie to me like this again in the future, then you must not repeat the same letters of repentance and guarantees in the future!"
Feng Muting immediately laughed and hugged Su Fuliu: "No, there won't be a next time. If I lie to you like this again, then I'll be punished by being bullied by A-Liu to my heart's content!"
"Who would bully you? Only the prince likes to bully people. I would never do that," Su Fuliu said shyly as she pushed Feng Muting away.
“Yes, yes, yes, how could someone as gentle and kind as A-Liu bully others? So, let me do the bullying.” Feng Muting laughed.
Su Fuliu stood up embarrassedly and said, "I will not bully the prince, and the prince is not allowed to bully me. Although I have forgiven the prince, the prince said that as long as I come back, he can punish me however he wants. So, my punishment is that the prince will sleep in the study for half a month, no discussion."
"Half a month..."
"Half a month isn't enough? Then a month will do."
"No, A-Liu...we..."
“If Your Highness insists, then let’s change it to two months,” Su Fuliu said resolutely.
If he didn't take a firm stance, Feng Muting would cancel the punishment with just a few words.
This time he must stick to his own opinion and not let Feng Muting push his luck every time.
Feng Muting immediately shut his mouth, not daring to say anything more.
If I say any more, I'm afraid I won't be able to touch Su Fuliu for at least a year or two.
Chapter 304 Brother Liu, remember to give it a try!
Just then, a servant came to report that Lu Chimo and Bai Yulang had arrived and said they wanted to see Su Fuliu.
Su Fuliu quickly had someone bring them in.
Lu Chimo and Bai Yulang arrived shortly afterward.
Upon seeing Su Fuliu, Bai Yulang immediately went up to him and said, "Brother Liu, are you alright? Why did you suddenly return to the Prince's mansion? Did the Prince threaten you? Did he bully you?"
"No, no, don't worry, I came back on my own initiative..." Su Fuliu was deeply moved as she looked at Bai Yulang, who was so worried about her.
Bai Yulang remembers nothing, yet he is still so genuinely kind to him. This is the power of blood ties; even if one doesn't remember, one will still be good to family.
"Brother Liu, you've calmed down so quickly? Didn't you say you were going to stay with me for a while longer?" Bai Yulang had advised Su Fuliu not to really ignore Feng Muting.
But now that Su Fuliu is back, they feel that Feng Muting got off easy. They should have let Feng Muting have some more time to cool off. It's too easy to give up after only two days.
"Yes, the prince wrote me many, many letters of repentance and guarantees. I... I have forgiven him."
"Brother Liu is just too soft-hearted." Bai Yulang didn't say anything more. Since Su Fuliu had already forgiven Feng Muting, and instead of being threatened back by Feng Muting, he could rest assured.
Su Fuliu smiled slightly, then looked at him: "Didn't you have a backache? Why aren't you lying in bed? Did you come here because you were afraid I would be bullied by the prince?"
Bai Yulang nodded: "Yes, I was afraid that Brother Liu would be bullied, so as soon as I found out that Brother Liu had gone back, I rushed over to find him. But don't worry, Brother Liu, my back doesn't hurt as much anymore. My senior brother gave me acupuncture."
"That's good, that's good."
"Hmm, wait a minute, how did Brother Liu know my back hurts?" Bai Yulang asked belatedly.
Su Fuliu choked, scratching her neck somewhat awkwardly: "I... I didn't mean to eavesdrop on your conversation. I originally wanted to come and say goodbye, but I accidentally overheard what you were saying. I was too embarrassed to disturb you, so I left a note to say goodbye..."
After saying that, he looked worried, afraid that Bai Yulang and Lu Chimo would be unhappy.
Bai Yulang laughed heartily and said, "It's nothing, it's nothing. I was wondering why Brother Liu didn't come to say goodbye to us in person. Turns out he overheard me talking to my senior brother. Oh, what's there to be embarrassed about? Now that Brother Liu and the Prince have reconciled, there's always a chance to try..."
Before Bai Yulang could finish speaking, Su Fuliu quickly reached out and covered his mouth.
Lu Chimo quickly came over, pulled Bai Yulang to his side, and looked at him: "You, you talk too much again."
Bai Yulang immediately shut his mouth obediently.
Lu Chimo then looked at Su Fuliu and said, "I'm sorry, Yulang always talks like that. Please don't be angry, Young Master Su."
Su Fuliu blushed and shook her head: "No, it's nothing. Yulang is just a bit straightforward."
“Well, now that Young Master Su has returned and reconciled with the Prince, Yu Lang and I no longer need to worry. Farewell.” After Lu Chimo finished speaking, he quickly pulled Bai Yu Lang out.
Bai Yulang didn't forget to turn back and wink at Su Fuliu, saying silently, "Brother Liu, remember to give it a try!"
Su Fuliu, who understood what Bai Yulang was saying through his lip movements, felt her head buzzing.
Chapter 305 The Best Person for A-Liu
Feng Muting, who had been silent until Lu Chimo and Bai Yulang left, finally spoke up: "Although this Bai Yulang is a bit of a troublemaker, he's still quite good to you. He's even unafraid of me for your sake."
Upon hearing this, Su Fuliu thought Feng Muting was going to get jealous again, so she immediately explained, "Yulang and I are like brothers."
"Yes, I know. Ah Liu, there's no need to be so nervous. As long as he doesn't take advantage of you, I won't target him."
Su Fuliu nodded and breathed a sigh of relief.
At this moment, Feng Muting suddenly hugged him again and said affectionately, "My A-Liu is such a lovely little fellow. Everyone who sees A-Liu can't help but want to be good to her. I can't be worse than them. I must be the one who treats A-Liu the best!"
Su Fuliu said with her rosy cheeks, "In my heart, Your Highness has always been the one who treats me the best."
Upon hearing this, Feng Muting was overjoyed. Just as he was about to speak, Su Fuliu continued, "However, this does not change the fact that His Highness will be sleeping in the study for a month."
"..." Suddenly, it was as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over Feng Muting's head.
Then, he leaned close to Su Fuliu's ear and whispered, "Then, a month later... can we give it a try?"
"Try what..." Su Fuliu was about to ask when he suddenly realized something. He immediately pushed Feng Muting away and glared at him awkwardly: "No way! Didn't you see how much pain Yulang was in? Even his senior brother, who is such a considerate and gentle person, could make him suffer like that. If it were you, wouldn't I be dying in bed?!"
"Pah, pah, pah, no way! This time I'll be very gentle. We'll try slowly, it'll be fine."
"I don't believe it. You gave me a hard time the last two times, and it'll definitely be the same this time. I won't fall for it!"
"Then how many times do you want to do it?" Feng Muting asked in return.
After hearing this, Su Fuliu actually thought about it seriously for a moment and said, "Anyway, it can't be more than three times. If it's more than three times, it will be a bit too much."
Feng Muting immediately nodded: "Okay, then three times."
Seeing how readily he agreed, Su Fuliu immediately realized what was happening: "Oh, no, I never intended to agree at all, I..."
Feng Muting said with a wicked smile, "Aliu, you can't go back on your word."
"..." Su Fuliu was a little annoyed. What was the point of his brain? How did he get caught up in this again? He pouted angrily and said, "Your Highness is bullying me!"
“Where did I bully A-Liu? A-Liu, tell me. I clearly did nothing. A-Liu agreed to it herself. So, if A-Liu is unwilling, then it’s fine to let it go. I won’t force A-Liu.” As he spoke, Feng Muting lowered his eyes, as if to hide the disappointment in them.
Seeing him like this, Su Fuliu couldn't bear it, but she was also unwilling to give up, so she said, "Let's talk about it after this month is over. The prince hasn't even started sleeping in the study yet, and he's already thinking about things a month from now."
Feng Muting then looked up and replied, "Alright, let's talk about it again in a month. Oh, by the way, Father Emperor originally wanted us to have a meal and drinks together at Yu Lu, but you just ran off that day, and I chased after you, leaving Father Emperor and Aunt Xu standing there. Although they didn't say anything, it still wasn't very nice. So I was thinking, how about we invite Father Emperor and Aunt Xu to Yu Lu again tomorrow?"
Chapter 306 A Miserable Person
Su Fuliu nodded: "Okay... but I'm worried that if I smell the grease and throw up again, that wouldn't be good, would it?"
"It's alright. I'll just tell Aunt Xu to cook something light. We're mainly just having a family gathering, not for the food, so something light won't hurt," Feng Muting replied.
After listening, Su Fuliu thought for a moment and then said, "If your family is having a get-together, then... then is it inconvenient for me to go..."
Feng Muting looked at him with some displeasure: "You are now my person. It's a family gathering, why can't you go?"
“Oh…” Su Fuliu lowered her head somewhat embarrassed.
Feng Muting shook his head; his Ah Liu was just too thin-skinned.
He simply couldn't believe that his Ah Liu and Bai Yulang were brothers.
“Then, Ah Liu, rest. I will go to the palace,” Feng Muting said.
"Okay," Su Fuliu replied, then obediently sat down.
That evening, Feng Muting came to the room, looking pitiful as he walked to the bedside.
Su Fuliu looked at him and said, "Your Highness, don't even think about it. Go sleep in the study."
“I know, I’ve come to get the pillows and blankets,” Feng Muting replied.
"Oh, then take it." Su Fuliu sat on the bed and looked at him.
Feng Muting looked at Su Fuliu with longing eyes, then reached out and grabbed the pillow and blanket: "Aliu, get some rest."
Su Fuliu nodded: "Yes, Your Highness should also get some rest. Look how haggard you look. It's probably because you're not sleeping comfortably in the study..."
“You must not have slept comfortably,” Feng Muting interrupted before he could finish speaking.
