Bai Yulang was stunned for a moment, looking at Su Fuliu who suddenly burst into tears: "Brother Liu, why are you crying?"
Su Fuliu shook her head: "It's nothing, I'm just happy."
Bai Yulang released Su Fuliu's hand, then cupped Su Fuliu's face in his hands and wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes with his thumb: "Brother Liu, don't cry. Be happy. All the sadness is over. Your future will be full of joy and happiness."
As soon as he finished speaking, the door was pushed open, and Feng Muting and Lu Chimo walked in.
They felt that Bai Yulang's acupuncture treatment had taken too long this time and were worried that something might happen, so they came in to check on him. As a result, they saw Bai Yulang holding Su Fuliu's face very intimately.
Feng Muting immediately shouted, "Bai Yulang!"
Bai Yulang was startled and immediately dropped his hand, running behind Lu Chimo to hide.
Before Feng Muting could speak again, Su Fuliu called out, "Your Highness, why are you being so fierce? You've frightened Yulang!"
"I haven't said anything yet..."
"What else would you like to say, Your Highness?"
“…It’s nothing.” Feng Muting immediately lost his momentum and silently walked to the bedside, looking at Su Fuliu who was now able to sit up.
Seeing the situation, Lu Chimo prepared to take his leave with Bai Yulang, but Bai Yulang thought that he still had something to say to Feng Muting, so he said, "Senior brother, the prince asked me to come and help give Brother Liu acupuncture. Now that the acupuncture is finished, I haven't even had a sip of tea. Does the prince's mansion not have any hospitality at all?"
Lu Chimo was taken aback, then looked at the audacious Bai Yulang, and glanced at Feng Muting, fearing that Feng Muting would come over and kick Bai Yulang back to his residence.
Su Fuliu quickly said, "Your Highness, Yulang is right. He worked very hard to give me acupuncture. Why don't you go and invite him to have some tea and snacks?"
Lu Chimo replied, "No need to trouble Your Highness. Since Yulang wants some tea, I will take him to the front hall, and Your Highness can have someone brew some tea."
Bai Yulang said, "No, I want the prince to entertain me. The prince entertained my senior brother just now, why not me? That's too unfair!"
“Yu Lang…” Lu Chimo looked at Bai Yu Lang, who seemed a little abnormal, and couldn’t help but worry about him.
Su Fuliu looked at Feng Muting and said, "Your Highness, Yulang is now my younger brother. You must treat him well and be gentle with him!"
The implication was that they were not allowed to bully Bai Yulang or be mean to him.
Feng Muting could only say, "Alright, I will go and entertain him properly. You rest for a while, I will come back later."
Su Fuliu nodded.
Then, Feng Muting stood up and walked towards Bai Yulang: "Please?"
Bai Yulang, thinking that he might have something Feng Muting wanted to know, wasn't afraid to show off at all. So, he snorted and pulled Lu Chimo out.
Lu Chimo was still thinking about how to ease the tension later.
Otherwise, given Feng Muting's temper, he would definitely not have let Bai Yulang off the hook.
Even though he knew that Bai Yulang was Su Fuliu's younger brother.
After the three left Su Fuliu's room, Bai Yulang said, "Your Highness, let's not go to the front hall, let's go to your study!"
Feng Muting frowned slightly: "Bai Yulang, you..."
“Your Highness, please calm down. Yu Lang probably has something to say to you,” Lu Chi Mo quickly interrupted Feng Mu Ting.
Bai Yulang chuckled: "My senior brother understands me best. I do have something very important to tell Your Highness, it's about Brother Liu. Would Your Highness like to know?"
Chapter 283 Settling Accounts After the Autumn Harvest
After hearing this, Feng Muting said, "No wonder you dare to speak to me like that."
Bai Yulang smiled and said, "So, does Your Highness want to know or not?"
"Go to the study." Feng Muting only replied with three words before leaving.
Bai Yulang was taken aback, then snorted and muttered under his breath, "You actually dare to give me attitude? Aren't you afraid I won't tell?"
Lu Chimo held his hand: "Alright, Yulang, you can't just talk to the prince like that because of this. Be careful, or the prince will settle accounts with you later."
Upon hearing this, Bai Yulang immediately realized, "That's right, the prince is so petty, he might find a chance to make things difficult for me later. Oh dear, senior brother is so thoughtful. I'd better obediently tell the prince what's going on."
After arriving at the study, Bai Yulang told Feng Muting about the method to restore Su Fuliu's martial arts.
After hearing this, Feng Muting frowned and said, "Wouldn't that mean he would suffer again? If that's the case, I'd rather he never regain his martial arts skills. I'll just protect him."
Bai Yulang shook his head and then sighed: "Although Brother Liu said he gave up, I can see that he actually wants to recover his martial arts skills. He doesn't want to be a burden to the prince. He also said he wants to protect me. And most importantly, deep down he must really want to take revenge."
“Yu Lang is right. How can he really let go of such a deep-seated hatred? He refuses to let the prince know his identity because he is afraid that the prince will get involved. But if he can’t let go, what if one day he… So if he can recover his martial arts, it will be a kind of protection for himself, after all, the prince can’t be by his side all the time.”
It would be good if Su Fuliu could regain her martial arts skills, but Feng Muting really couldn't bear to let Su Fuliu go through such pain again.
Removing the pipa hook is not much different from piercing the pipa bone again.
Su Fuliu's wound had finally healed, and now he had to have his tendons and bones broken again. He could bear to suffer like this himself, but he really didn't want Su Fuliu to go through that pain again.
Lu Chimo and Bai Yulang exchanged a glance, and then both looked at Feng Muting, waiting for him to make a decision.
Feng Muting thought for a while before saying, "Let's find the Hundred-Continuation Grass first. You should know what it looks like, right?"
Bai Yulang shook his head: "I've heard my master mention it, but I've never seen it and don't know what it looks like."
“I know what it looks like. I’ll draw it, and the prince will send people to find it based on the drawing,” Lu Chimo said.
"good."
This happened to be a study, with paper, ink, brush, and inkstone laid out on the table. Lu Chimo went over and drew a picture of the Hundred-Continuation Grass, and wrote a few sentences about its characteristics and growing environment next to it.
Bai Yulang praised, "Senior brother is so meticulous. Not only did you draw it, but you also wrote it in such detail. They can understand it at a glance. I just don't know when we can find it."
After that, Feng Muting had someone take Lu Chimo's painting to an artist to make hundreds of copies, even the small characters on the side had to be written clearly.
Then his people can take this painting to Baixucao.
"Thank you again, Dr. Lu," Feng Muting said.
Lu Chimo shook his head: "Your Highness is too kind."
Bai Yulang, standing to the side, curled his lip and said, "Your Highness, aren't you going to thank me? If it weren't for me, would Your Highness even know these things...?"
“I haven’t settled accounts with you for taking advantage of A-Liu yet,” Feng Muting replied.
Chapter 284 I Want to Live a Few More Years
Bai Yulang choked. Why was it so difficult for him to get a "thank you" from Feng Muting?
"How did I take advantage of Brother Liu? He cried, can't I even wipe his tears?"
Upon hearing this, Feng Muting quickly asked, "Why is A-Liu crying?"
“I…how would I know? He was just looking at me, and then he started crying. Maybe he was thinking about unhappy things from the past,” Bai Yulang replied.
But Feng Muting and Lu Chimo understood what he meant when they heard his words.
"Alright, it's time for us to take our leave," Lu Chimo said, cupping his hands in farewell.
After seeing the two off, Feng Muting returned to his room, where he saw Su Fuliu sitting on the bed in a daze.
He noticed that this little idiot seemed to really like to daydream, and his blank expression was just too cute.
"Ah Liu," Feng Muting called softly.
Su Fuliu snapped out of her daze and looked at him: "Your Highness, Yulang and Doctor Lu have left?"
"Hmm." Feng Muting walked to the bedside and sat down. He was about to reach out to grab Su Fuliu when Su Fuliu dodged him, which startled him.
"Is Your Highness's memory that bad? I won't say anything more, but you're not allowed to touch me!" Su Fuliu said.
“…Ah Liu, you’ve already punished me by making me sleep in the study, can’t I even touch your little hand now?” Feng Muting asked.
"No! I've realized that I'm too soft-hearted and indulgent with you, so you're getting more and more outrageous. I can't even imagine how outrageous you'll be next time!" Su Fuliu scolded.
Feng Muting touched the tip of his nose and laughed, "Next time, whatever you say goes. I'll listen to you, okay?"
Su Fuliu was taken aback, then realized she shouldn't have said that, so she changed her words and said, "No, there won't be a next time. I want to live a few more years."
"Good Liu, you can't do this. Weren't you happy back then?"
"...I...I'm not happy at all."
“Ah Liu has been naughty, lying like that. Your body was clearly telling the truth, reaching climax again and again, even as you were begging for mercy, but to me it sounded like you were begging me to continue…”
Before Feng Muting could finish speaking, Su Fuliu couldn't bear to listen any longer and quickly covered his mouth with both hands.
His face flushed red as he said, "If Your Highness says anything more, I'll run away from home and never come back!"
Feng Muting couldn't help but laugh. How could there be such a shy and blushing little fool in this world? Her skin was thinner than paper.
However, after only a few words, this silly boy almost cooked his own rabbit head.
He pulled Su Fuliu's hand away and quickly coaxed her, "Okay, okay, I won't say it. As long as you don't say things like 'there won't be a next time,' I won't say those things, okay?"
Su Fuliu pouted and didn't answer.
Feng Muting hugged him and said, "Good A-Liu, I got a beating from Father today, and my butt still hurts. Could you... please not let me sleep in the study? The soft couch there isn't as comfortable as this big bed..."
"Huh? The Emperor hit you? Didn't you say he doted on you the most? Why did he hit you? Does it hurt? Let me see!"
Upon hearing that Feng Muting had been beaten, Su Fuliu was heartbroken and immediately went to check on his injuries.
Feng Muting stopped him, saying, "It's a spanking, are you sure you want to see it?"
Su Fuliu was taken aback for a moment. Although she was a little embarrassed, she still wanted to see how badly Feng Muting was injured: "Well, let me see. If he's badly injured, he'll need some medicine!"
As he spoke, he prepared to pull at Feng Muting's clothes.
Chapter 285 Who taught you?
Feng Muting pressed Su Fuliu's hand again and said, "Aliu, stop looking. There's nothing on the surface, but it really hurts. So, you see... could you please not make me sleep in the study anymore..."
"Didn't you say your father wouldn't do anything to you? Why did you still get beaten? Is he very angry that you acted so recklessly?" Su Fuliu asked.
Feng Muting shook his head: "Aliu, don't worry. Father beat me for no other reason than because I haven't been back for a long time and haven't written him a letter or anything. He was unhappy, so he taught me a lesson to make me remember it."
Su Fuliu was taken aback: "So that's why. It seems the Emperor really loves you as his son, and misses you so much he's about to spank you. But the reason you haven't returned for so long is because of me..."
Taking the opportunity, Feng Muting grasped his hand and comforted him, "It's nothing, A-Liu, don't blame yourself. It's just a beating. As long as A-Liu is alright, that's all that matters. So... A-Liu, can I not sleep in the study anymore?"
Su Fuliu looked at him and sighed softly, "Alright..."
Feng Muting immediately laughed and hugged Su Fuliu tightly: "I knew that A-Liu cared about me the most."
