That was a close call.
Fortunately, he arrived in time.
Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Upon hearing Feng Muting's voice, Su Fuliu reached out and touched Feng Muting's arm, moving upwards until he touched Feng Muting's face. After confirming that it was indeed Feng Muting's face, he burst into even louder sobs.
"Your Highness, I knew you would come to save me, I knew you would definitely come..."
Feng Muting held him tightly in his arms and gently comforted him, "Yes, I'm here. I've come to save you. I promise I won't let anything happen to you."
"Waaah... I'm so scared. What if the prince doesn't come? What will I do?" Su Fuliu felt a wave of fear as she thought about what had just happened.
If Feng Muting didn't come or didn't have time.
Then he...
He couldn't imagine it.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I'm here, I'll take you home right now." After saying that, Feng Muting picked up Su Fuliu.
Then he kicked over the oil lamp next to him.
There was hay and firewood in the dark compartment, so it quickly caught fire.
The two people who were still writhing on the ground in pain saw the fire and got up, trying to run away despite the pain.
As a result, Feng Muting kicked him back again.
The two of them were completely exhausted, lying on the ground unable to move.
The flames had already reached them.
They could only wail in despair as they watched themselves burn to death.
Feng Muting quickly led Su Fuliu away from the dark cabin and ran to the deck. He saw that there were still a few bastards trying to jump into the water to escape, so he threw the long sword in his hand. Like a string of candied hawthorns, the last few people fell dead into the water.
"Your Highness, is... is there a fire?" Su Fuliu asked, crying.
"Hmm." Feng Muting responded, but then, as if he had discovered something, he stared wide-eyed at the silly little crybaby in his arms.
Su Fuliu's eyes were glazed over, unfocused.
"Then, did Your Highness untie those who were captured? Otherwise, how could they escape when the fire breaks out?" Su Fuliu asked again.
Feng Muting glanced into the cabin; the people had already untied each other's ropes and jumped into the water to escape.
"Don't worry, they've all escaped."
"Hmm..." Su Fuliu continued to cry in Feng Muting's arms.
He won't be able to recover from this in less than half a day.
What to do when there's no light after Chapter 197?
Feng Muting, carrying Su Fuliu, leaped off the deck and landed back on the horse's back on the shore.
Then, they hurried back to the Prince's Palace.
Su Yan was pacing back and forth in the Prince's mansion when he saw Feng Muting carrying Su Fuliu back. He stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, you're finally back. Is little Su alright?"
"Have the imperial physician come over immediately," Feng Muting said directly.
“But the physician hasn’t recovered yet,” Su Yan replied.
"Carry her over here, even if you have to." After saying that, Feng Muting carried Su Fuliu back to her room.
Su Yan was stunned for a moment, then said, "You lot, why don't you hurry up and carry the imperial physician to the prince's room?"
"Shouldn't they carry it to Xiao Su's room?" someone asked.
"Are you all blind? Didn't you see that the prince was taking the way back to his room?" Su Yan cursed.
After Feng Muting carried Su Fuliu back to the room, he was about to put him down when Su Fuliu stopped him, saying, "The little one is dirty, don't put him on the bed."
"What are you saying? If I don't put you on the bed, am I supposed to throw you on the floor? If the bed is dirty, I'll have someone come and change it. You lie down first, and after the royal physician comes to examine you, I'll carry you to take a bath."
"The imperial physician... hasn't recovered yet." Su Fuliu had just heard what Su Yan said.
"Wasn't it enough that I had him carried over? It's just to take your pulse, what's the big deal?" Feng Muting retorted.
Su Fuliu replied, "Actually, it's nothing serious. These are just superficial injuries. Although my stomach hurts a bit from being kicked and my head hurts a bit from being hit, I can still bear it."
"You call this nothing serious?!" Upon hearing this, Feng Muting felt a pang of heartache, and his voice suddenly rose.
Su Fuliu shrank back in fright. Before Feng Muting could even pucker up, he immediately sat down and coaxed her, "I was just too worried about you and couldn't help but raise my voice. Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. I was wrong. I'll be quieter from now on."
Su Fuliu didn't say anything. After lying down, he felt that the back of his head hurt a lot when he lay flat on his back, and it was only when he lay on his side that he felt a little better.
Seeing him like this, Feng Muting asked with concern, "Does the back of your head still hurt a lot?"
"Hmm..." Su Fuliu responded, then added, "They knocked me unconscious with a blow, right on the old wound. I'm afraid the combination of the old and new wounds has caused me to... be unable to see now..."
"It's alright, don't worry. If the royal physician can't cure you, then I'll take you to see Physician Lu," Feng Muting comforted him.
But in fact, he was even more worried than Su Fuliu.
What will happen to Su Fuliu's bright and pure eyes if she can no longer see the light?
"Hmm." Su Fuliu couldn't see Feng Muting, but just by hearing his voice, she could imagine how anxious and worried he was.
The physician was carried to the room and placed beside the bed.
If he weren't afraid of dying here, he would never have been able to get up.
The servants helped him sit up, and then he reached out to take Su Fuliu's pulse.
Su Fuliu said, "I was hit on the back of the head again, right on the spot where I was injured before. Now my head hurts a lot and I can't see anything."
The physician nodded and then said, "Then turn your back so I can see the back of your head."
"Okay," Su Fuliu replied, and then prepared to turn over.
Then Feng Muting said, "Fu Liu has a headache, yet you still make him turn over? Can't you stand up and bend down to check yourself?!"
Not to mention that the physician was frightened, Su Fuliu was also too scared to move.
The physician felt wronged, but dared not say anything, so he could only stagger to his feet.
Feng Muting then said, "Are you all blind? Can't you hold him up?!"
The servants nearby were startled and immediately went over to help the physician to his feet.
After the royal physician examined the injury on Su Fuliu's head, he said, "Your Highness, I am incompetent. I can heal the other injuries, but I cannot treat Su's eyes..."
Chapter 198 What's mine is yours, isn't it?
Before Feng Muting could speak, Su Fuliu said, "Then you should heal my other injuries first. Once they're healed, I'll have the prince take me to see Doctor Lu."
The physician nodded: "Yes."
Seeing that Su Fuliu had already made arrangements, Feng Muting glanced at the imperial physician and waved his hand, "Why don't you hurry up and carry her away to get medicine for Fuliu's illness?"
The servants immediately carried the family physician out.
Su Yan walked in and said, "Your Highness, I have already sent people to investigate, and we should have news soon."
Feng Muting nodded slightly: "Yes, once we find out, no matter who it is, I'll skin them alive."
“Yes…” Su Yanguang felt his scalp tingle when he heard the words “peel and air-dry”.
He was just about to leave, not wanting to disturb Feng Muting.
Then Feng Muting said, "Wait a minute."
"Does Your Highness have any further instructions?" Su Yan asked, looking at him.
"Take my imperial warrant and go to the Prefect of the Imperial City. 'Reward' him with twenty strokes of the cane. Such a villain has infiltrated the Imperial City and abducted ten innocent people, yet he's still sleeping soundly at home. I will make sure he can't sleep peacefully for a month, so he knows that being the Prefect of the Imperial City is not an easy job!" Feng Muting said through gritted teeth.
"Yes..." Su Yan nodded and went to carry out the order.
Then Feng Muting bent down and picked up Su Fuliu.
Startled, Su Fuliu quickly wrapped her arms around his neck: "Where is Your Highness taking me?"
"Don't panic. You're back at the palace now, so you're safe. Didn't you just say you were all dirty? I'll take you to the hot spring to wash up now."
"The hot spring pool belongs to the prince, how could I..."
Before Su Fuliu could finish speaking, Feng Muting said, "What's mine is yours, isn't it?"
Upon hearing this, Su Fuliu blushed and said, "But...but I can't see, I'm scared. Could Your Highness please stay and guard outside?"
Feng Muting smiled slightly: "I'm not leaving. I still need to help you wash up."
"Ah, no, that's not necessary. I can wash myself. Your Highness, just wait outside and talk to me so I know you're out there," Su Fuliu said shyly.
Feng Muting shook his head: "That won't do. You can't see right now, how can I let you be alone in the hot spring?"
"Can……"
"Alright, no more 'can't's. Just listen to me now. Once you're clean, we'll come back to rest as soon as possible. Take these next two days to heal your other injuries, and then I'll take you to see Physician Lu, okay?"
"Um……"
Feng Muting looked at Su Fuliu in his arms, then carried him to the hot spring pool.
Upon arrival, Feng Muting put Su Fuliu down and said, "Stand still, I'll help you take off your clothes."
"No need, I can do it myself..." Although Su Fuliu couldn't see, the temperature on her face rose rapidly.
"You're being disobedient again, huh?" Feng Muting pressed down on his hand.
Su Fuliu pursed his lips and slowly let go of his hand. He stood there with his face flushed red, letting Feng Muting help him take off his clothes.
After taking off his clothes, Feng Muting couldn't help but look him up and down, and felt a little dry in his throat.
"Your Highness, is it ready yet?" Su Fuliu asked.
Feng Muting finally came to his senses. He swallowed hard and then coughed lightly: "Alright, I'll help you into the water."
"Mmm." With Feng Muting's careful help, Su Fuliu went into the water.
The hot spring water is at a comfortable temperature, making it a very relaxing soak.
