The Charm of a Powerful Woman Spreads Across the World

Chapter 158

Zuiyue chimed in, "He knew that his senior brother was sick and originally wanted to come and see him, but I stopped him. Anyway, he wouldn't be able to help. He only sent a message yesterday saying that he has opened a shop in the capital and is just waiting for us to have a place to stay when we go to the capital. None of us have been to the capital, so he went to check it out first."

Ru Feng smiled happily and said, "Actually, it's no problem. My family has a general's mansion in the capital. You can stay there. But if you're worried about being restricted, you can stay in the house that Han Shan arranges. That way, it will be more convenient for you to come and go." As she spoke, Ru Feng made a bitter face, "I also want to live outside. My parents will definitely come to the capital this time, and then I won't have any peace."

Zui Zhu was a little unhappy: "Senior brother, Auntie will definitely make you get married, but once you have a wife, won't you stop wanting us?"

Upon hearing this, Ru Feng broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly said, "What are you saying? Even if I have a wife, I will not abandon my dear Xiao Zhu." After saying that, he blew her a kiss, making Zui Zhu blush with embarrassment, making Zui Yue shake her head helplessly, and making Nan Shan's face darken.

Ru Feng chuckled to herself, looking at Nanshan with a sense of satisfaction. It seemed that building one's happiness on the suffering of others was indeed exhilarating.

Nanshan said with a stern face, "Senior brother is injured and still not behaving himself." But in his heart, he was thinking that he was still seducing respectable women. He guessed that he had been in the army for too long. It seemed that he should return to the capital as soon as possible. Then his senior brother would have a headache and would not cause trouble for Zuizhu. He would also feel better.

Ru Feng simply smiled and asked, "Then when are we going back to the capital?"

Zui Zhu hurriedly asked with concern, "Senior brother, can you still travel with your injuries?"

Ru Feng nodded, looked at Zui Yue, and said, "Of course. Your senior brother is very strong now; he can eat a whole cow." Speaking of which, he was also hungry. It seemed he had been entangled with Mu Wenchen for a long time today and hadn't eaten anything yet.

Zuiyue glanced at her sideways and said, "You're just being stubborn. The poison in your wound has just been cleared, and it hasn't healed yet. You're still strong? You've been lying here for a month, and now you're just bones. You're still so arrogant."

Ru Feng touched his nose, thinking, "Who told Zui Yue to be a doctor?"

Nanshan then said worriedly, "Senior brother has really come close to death this time. Fortunately, he was kept alive by Mu Wenchen's pills, and he also found the doctor who treated Grandpa Yuchi last time, so he was able to regain consciousness."

Upon hearing this, all three of them quieted down.

Ru Feng, unaccustomed to this atmosphere, hurriedly said, "Alright, alright, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. I'm fine now, aren't I? I'll be careful from now on. Now I'm hungry. When can I eat?" It seemed like she hadn't eaten in a long time. In the past, when she was occasionally lucid, she would drink a little bit of specially made thin porridge, which always tasted like medicine. So now, as soon as she was lucid, she felt extremely hungry.

Upon hearing this, Zui Zhu excitedly said, "Senior Brother, I'll cook for you!" Zui Yue and Nan Shan were also pleased with Ru Feng's request; feeling hungry meant their bodies were close to recovery. But Zui Zhu cooking… well…

Ru Feng hurriedly waved his hand in refusal, saying, "Forget it, forget it, let Nanshan go instead. Girls should be pampered, how can you do such rough work? Let Nanshan handle it; he served in the cook army, he's perfect for cooking, and his skills are quite good." Could Zui Zhu's cooking be edible? He feared that even if he wasn't poisoned by the enemy's deadly poison, he would die from food poisoning at Zui Zhu's hands.

Nanshan and Zuiyue knew Zuizhu's skill level, so they quickly worked together to dispel Zuizhu's thoughts. Only then did Nanshan prepare to cook.

As Ru Feng watched his retreating figure, what she really wanted to eat was the food cooked by Mu Tong, but Mu Tong probably wouldn't have any food with medicine, so she would have to trouble Nan Shan.

In the end, only Zuiyue and Zuizhu stayed with Rufeng. The three chatted for a while before Yuxuan arrived.

It is said that although Yu Xuan has been here for a month, Ru Feng had been in a coma for a long time before, and her time when she was awake was also short, as she was always occupied by Mu Wenchen. So this was the first time Ru Feng had seen Yu Xuan.

Wearing a silver crown, with handsome eyebrows and bright eyes, dressed in a blue brocade robe, he looked around with great spirit, but when he saw Ru Feng, his expression turned serious, and there was even a hint of anger in his eyes.

Ru Feng, not understanding what was going on, could only laugh and say, "Yu Xuan, come, come sit here. What brings you here to see me?"

Yu Xuan said with a sullen face, "Hmph, I've always been free, it's just that you're not. When you're awake, your uncle is always taking up all your time, so what can I do? I can only wait anxiously for you to be free."

Ru Feng suddenly felt awkward. Why did Yu Xuan's tone sound so strange? If she didn't know their relationship, she would have really thought he was jealous.

Chapter 126 Sudden Enlightenment

Yu Xuan walked over and plopped down next to Ru Feng. Ru Feng quickly pulled the blanket over and wrapped it around her body, paying special attention to covering her Adam's apple. Sigh, it seems she'll have to urge Zui Yue to get a new Adam's apple.

Upon seeing this, Yu Xuan's face darkened further, and he said in a gruff voice, "Do you think I'm the emperor's uncle?"

Ru Feng blinked, looking at him innocently: "Why do you say that?"

Yu Xuan snorted coldly: "Hmph, it's not like I haven't slept with you before, why are you so nervous?" His tone was as cold as it could be.

Ru Feng shrugged, realizing that those words were indeed ambiguous.

So Ru Feng looked at him pitifully, coughed twice, and said, "I just feel a little cold. I just woke up not long ago and I'm still very weak." *Hmph, wait until I become your aunt, I'll make you pay!* Ru Feng thought to herself, her heart full of vengeance.

Sure enough, Ru Feng's show of weakness improved Yu Xuan's mood. He finally remembered that Ru Feng was injured, so he gently patted the back of Ru Feng's head and said, "You are really careless. I haven't even brought the soldiers over yet, and I heard that you were shot by an arrow and that you are in critical condition. It's really worrying."

Ru Feng felt a warmth in her heart, chuckled, and said, "I'm sorry to have worried Brother Xuan."

"Call me Brother Xuan..." Yu Xuan patted Ru Feng's head, his expression finally softening, and said directly, "Do you need something from me?"

Ru Feng pouted slightly, snorted, and said, "Brother Xuan, you're older than me, can't I call you that? Or do you think you're of a higher status and I'm not worthy to call you brother?" Then she pulled the blanket with both hands, lowered her head, and shrugged her shoulders slightly.

Yu Xuan shook his head and sighed. Even though he knew that Ru Feng was most likely faking it, he still couldn't bear to ignore Ru Feng's pitiful appearance, so he could only say softly, "Alright, Ru Feng, stop pretending. Call me whatever you want."

Ru Feng then raised her head, smiled, and said, "Brother Xuan, you are so kind. I miss you and Brother Jue very much."

Yu Xuan smiled wryly and said, "Ru Feng, tell my brother when we get back to the capital. He will be very happy."

Ru Feng also got excited and said loudly, "That's right, the capital is your territory. You must treat me well when the time comes, and you must also help me out when I encounter danger!"

Yu Xuan was puzzled: "What danger could you possibly encounter? The headmaster is highly skilled in martial arts and will surely protect you!" His tone was a little sour.

Unfortunately, Ru Feng didn't notice. She kept shaking Yu Xuan's arm and said, "Xuan, if I'm in danger, will you help me?"

Yu Xuan, unaware of Ru Feng's thoughts, instinctively replied, "Of course I'll help." Inwardly, however, he thought, "Even if I don't help, my brother will. He's been more anxious than I am to lead the troops to the rescue, even wishing I could take his place." But Yu Xuan couldn't imagine what danger Ru Feng might be in. Ru Feng was highly skilled in martial arts, a marshal, and had made great contributions this time. He should be enjoying immense prestige upon returning to the capital. How could he be in danger? Or would someone plot against him out of jealousy?

Upon hearing Yu Xuan's answer, Ru Feng felt somewhat relieved. After pondering for a while, she asked again, "In the capital, is His Majesty very cheerful?" Her expression was melancholy, making Yu Xuan wish he could praise his father to the heavens to put Ru Feng at ease.

However, he still said truthfully, "My father is very meticulous and fair in his work. Although he is sometimes a bit strict, he is still a very wise monarch."

Upon hearing this, Ru Feng felt more at ease and changed his question to, "What about Wen Chen?"

Upon hearing Ru Feng's words, Yu Xuan remembered his main purpose for coming here. He stared intently into Ru Feng's eyes and said, "My uncle and father are quite far apart in age, so my father dotes on my uncle, even more than he does on me, my eldest brother, and my older brother. However, my uncle is just a prince with no real power."

Upon hearing this, Ru Feng felt much more at ease, realizing that this hurdle would be easier to overcome.

Yu Xuan hesitated, looking at Ru Feng without saying a word.

Ru Feng became lost in thought, pulling himself completely under the covers.

For a moment, the entire space was silent, with only the faint breathing of the two people.
