Imperial Physician Qu gave an awkward smile. How could this person know such an embarrassing matter? Back then, it was clearly only him and Xiao Shilang present. Xiao Shilang certainly wouldn't have spread rumors like a gossip. Otherwise, his embarrassing incident would have been known throughout the palace long ago.
So the person before me really is the Third Prince, but... but how come...?
Chapter 596 Whose Little Darling
Just as Bai Yulang approached Imperial Physician Zhang, Imperial Physician Zhang immediately cupped his hands and said, "This old minister pays his respects to the Third Prince!"
Bai Yulang smiled and said, "You're the only one who recognized me. It seems that Imperial Physician Zhang and I are closer. He knows me very well!"
Imperial Physician Zhang twitched the corner of his mouth. He was just afraid that Bai Yulang would reveal some embarrassing things about him in front of so many people.
Then, as if he had just thought of something, Bai Yulang turned around and pulled Lu Chimo to stand in front of them, saying, "Back then, I almost lost my life. It was my senior brother's master who saved me and changed my face, so this is what you see of me now. My senior brother has been taking care of me these past few years. If it weren't for him, I'm afraid I wouldn't have had the chance to come back and see you."
Imperial Physician Zhang said, "Wasn't it because Physician Lu's master saved the Third Prince that he had the opportunity to return?"
Bai Yulang paused for a moment, then nodded: "Oh, yes, but it's also thanks to my senior brother taking good care of me. If my senior brother hadn't taken good care of me, I wouldn't be alive and kicking like this now. My senior brother is handsome and gentle, has excellent medical skills, and is also very smart. You probably can't find another good man like him in this world!"
The three imperial physicians looked at each other, all wondering when the once taciturn and unsmiling Third Prince had become so talkative. And when he looked at Lu Chimo, he always smiled like a flower.
Is this really the Third Prince? Are you sure?!
Physician Xing nodded and said, "Divine Physician Lu has already told us about your situation."
Upon hearing this, Bai Yulang immediately moved closer to Lu Chimo, feeling somewhat embarrassed: "So you've already told them, Senior Brother? Then, did you tell them about us being together?"
Lu Chimo nodded slightly.
Bai Yulang pursed his lips but couldn't suppress the upturned corners of his mouth: "Senior brother, really. You're so eager to tell them about us. Are you afraid I'll run away? Senior brother, are you still not at ease? My body and my heart belong to senior brother. Even if senior brother drives me away, I won't leave."
As he spoke, he grabbed Lu Chimo's hand and shook it, his shy demeanor resembling that of someone throwing a tantrum.
Physician Xing and the others stared in disbelief, their eyes practically popping out of their sockets.
What's wrong with this world?
What happened to their third prince!
Is this the valiant and skilled general Xiao Shilang?!
This is clearly someone's precious little prince!
Lu Chimo chuckled lightly: "Yes, senior brother knows. But didn't I tell you to wait for me? Why did you also run into the palace, and with soldiers in tow?"
"I was worried that something might happen to my senior brother and my brother, so I went to find some of my old colleagues with whom I had a good relationship. They believe I am Xiao Shilang and are willing to help me deal with Xiao Shixun, so we came here. By the way, how about my brother? Is he alright?!"
Su Yan, who was standing nearby, quickly replied, "On the tower, he..."
However, before Su Yan could finish speaking, the anxious Bai Yulang pulled Lu Chimo up to the tower.
Physician Xing and the others naturally followed quickly.
Wen Hongye also followed with Gu Xingchen.
Su Yan was dumbfounded: "Hey, please don't go up there and disturb us..."
But everyone ran away in a flash, and no one heard what he said at all.
Xie Chen smiled, then reached out and took Su Yan's hand: "Alright, brother, let's go up and take a look. Maybe... we'll see something we shouldn't see."
"Huh?" Su Yan, who was being pulled away by Xie Chen, looked at him blankly. "What... shouldn't I have seen?"
Chapter 597 I'm Angry
When the crowd finally reached the top of the tower, they saw two people embracing and kissing in the snow.
When a group of people run up, how can the noise be small?
When Su Fuliu heard that a number of people had arrived, she immediately pushed Feng Muting aside. When she saw who they were, she was instantly stunned.
He lowered his head slightly, looking embarrassed, his face so red it looked like it could bleed, and his ears were burning hot.
Steam was billowing from overhead, melting the falling snow.
He wished he could dig a hole and bury himself.
Feng Muting wasn't uncomfortable at all; on the contrary, he was rather annoyed. He hadn't even had his fill of kissing yet, and this group of people had ruined his good time.
He glared at Su Yan first.
Su Yan wore a bitter expression and waved his hands vigorously, indicating that this matter had nothing to do with him. Although he had told them that Su Fuliu was on the Que Tower, he had also told them not to come up, but they didn't listen.
Xie Chen smiled and whispered to Su Yan, "Brother, don't be afraid. At worst, the prince will punish you by making you learn manners again. I will teach you well then. I wonder how many days the prince will punish you this time?"
"..." Su Yan looked pained, recalling those "inhuman" seven days.
When Bai Yulang saw Su Fuliu, he ran over and hugged him tightly, bursting into tears: "Brother, I'm so glad you're alright! I was so worried about you!"
Physician Xing and the others were already struggling to process the shocking scene they had just witnessed, and now, seeing Bai Yulang crying uncontrollably, they were even more astonished.
This is no longer the aloof and cold General Xiao Shilang they knew; this is clearly the adorable young master of the Lu Chi Mo family.
It's over.
It's completely hopeless.
The Third Prince's wife is completely out of the question; the only option left is the Imperial Advisor's wife.
"Don't cry, Shilang, I'm alright now." Su Fuliu gently patted Bai Yulang's back.
Bai Yulang held Su Fuliu tightly, crying as he suddenly said, "Brother, your body is so soft, it feels so comfortable to hold you."
Su Fuliu, who was still shedding tears along with Bai Yulang, was stunned when she heard these words. Her face, which was still flushed, became even redder.
Feng Muting frowned and reached out to grab Bai Yulang by the back of his collar.
At this moment, Lu Chimo had already arrived and pulled Bai Yulang away first.
He glanced at Bai Yulang, who immediately chuckled awkwardly, then took Lu Chimo's arm and said in a flattering voice, "Oh, he's my own brother, what's wrong with hugging and praising him? If you're angry, there are still hair ties left. How about I perform a fancy way of tying Yulang up to cheer you up?"
Lu Chimo leaned close to his ear and said with dissatisfaction, "When the time comes, if the hair ribbons are not used up, Senior Brother will not stop."
Bai Yulang was stunned for a moment, then nodded excitedly and couldn't help but say, "Senior brother is so amazing, Yulang likes it so much!"
Feng Muting pulled Su Fuliu to his side, his hand resting on her slender waist, a gesture that seemed to assert his dominance.
Su Fuliu, feeling a little embarrassed, gently brushed away the hand resting on his waist and whispered, "Tinglang, so many people are watching, you, you..."
Feng Muting refused to let go, his hand seemingly glued to Su Fuliu's waist: "So what if they're watching? What's there to be afraid of? They saw how passionately we were kissing just now. Now it's just a hug around the waist, what's there to be embarrassed about? A-Liu is just shy."
Su Fuliu had finally forgotten what had just happened, but Feng Muting brought it up again, making him even more uncomfortable: "I'm thin-skinned, unlike you who's thick-skinned. Will you let go or not? If you don't, I'll get angry!"
Chapter 598 It Was You All Along
"Okay, okay, I'll let go, don't be angry, A-Liu." Feng Muting immediately and obediently let go.
Su Fuliu then shoved the half of the golden mask back into Feng Muting's hands. He had almost cried himself to death while holding that half of the mask earlier, and he didn't want to see it again.
Bai Yulang, however, was taken aback when he saw the half-gold mask: "This mask looks so familiar..."
Upon hearing this, Lu Chimo was about to stop Bai Yulang, but it was too late. Bai Yulang was quick to speak, and he immediately pointed at Feng Muting and said, "Oh, so it was you!"
Feng Muting coughed lightly: "What is this 'King'?"
"Are you still pretending to be stupid?!" With that, Bai Yulang ran to Su Fuliu's side, tugging at his sleeve with a pitiful expression, and said, "Brother, the Prince is bullying me!"
Su Fuliu looked at Bai Yulang in confusion: "Is the Prince bullying you?"
Bai Yulang nodded: "Yes, the prince wore this half-mask last time, disguised himself as someone I didn't recognize, and dumped me outside the city. He even kicked me, and my butt still hurts. He also had the city gates closed so he wouldn't let me in. That night, I sat alone under the city gate, cold and hungry, sob sob..."
As he spoke, he squeezed out two tears.
"Is that so? How come I didn't know?" Su Fuliu immediately looked at Feng Muting after hearing this: "Tinglang, when did you bully Shilang again? Didn't I tell you not to bully him?"
“I…” Feng Muting was speechless for a moment.
Bai Yulang cried even harder: "Brother, he kicked my butt and it still hurts. You can touch it if you don't believe me, or you can look at it. The footprint is still there!"
Feng Muting gritted his teeth and glared at Bai Yulang: "Bai Yulang, what nonsense are you spouting? How long has it been since that kick? It still hurts! Do you think you're as delicate as A-Liu? The footprint from that kick hasn't faded yet!"
"Brother, look at him, he's yelling at me, he admitted it!" As he spoke, Bai Yulang hid behind Su Fuliu.
Feng Muting looked at the irritating Bai Yulang and said, "Do you believe I'll skin you alive...?"
Before he could finish speaking, Su Fuliu interrupted him: "Tinglang!"
Feng Muting immediately wilted. Looking at the fuming Su Fuliu, he quickly grabbed his hand and coaxed, "I, I didn't mean to... You know Bai Yulang's mouth, he always teaches you inappropriate things, and he even touched your butt. Is your butt something that anyone can just touch? Only I could..."
Before Feng Muting could finish speaking, Su Fuliu, her cheeks flushed red again, quickly raised her hand to cover his mouth.
He glared at Feng Muting, both ashamed and angry. With so many people around, Feng Muting was still saying those things so loudly. If he hadn't covered Feng Muting's mouth, he didn't know what other embarrassing things Feng Muting would have said.
"Shut up!" Su Fuliu was so embarrassed that she didn't dare to look to the side. "I'll settle the score with you later for bullying Shilang!"
As he spoke, he nervously lowered his hand, afraid that Feng Muting would speak recklessly again.
Lu Chimo seized the opportunity to pull Bai Yulang away and protect him behind him, then said, "Let's deal with the important matters first. Was Xiao Shixun killed by Young Master Su?"
Su Fuliu paused slightly, then nodded: "Mm..."
"He... probably wanted to fulfill your wish by dying, right? Otherwise, how could you kill him if you don't have any martial arts skills?" Lu Chimo replied.
Su Fuliu's eyes darkened slightly, and she remained silent.
But silence is tacit agreement.
Chapter 599 Warm Sunshine
Lu Chimo glanced at Xiao Shixun, who was covered in a thin layer of snow: "So he knew that 'Together with You' had been resolved, otherwise he wouldn't have chosen to die."
Su Fuliu paused, not turning back to look at Xiao Shixun, but his heart was filled with mixed feelings.
At that time, he was in pain and despair. When Xiao Shixun threw the sword to him, he didn't think too much and only wanted to kill Xiao Shixun to vent his anger.
He didn't consider that if Xiao Shixun didn't know the poison had been neutralized when he forced him to kill him, then he would have died anyway, so what was the point of forcing him to kill him?
Therefore, Xiao Shixun must have known that the poison had been neutralized, and he knew that nothing could threaten him anymore.
But he was unwilling to live to fulfill his promise to Feng Muting, so death was the only option for him.
Su Fuliu recalled every word Xiao Shixun had said since they left until just now; it turned out he had been speaking with the intention of dying.
