“Alright.” Feng Muting took off his coat and draped it over Su Fuliu’s shoulders. Then he reached out and touched Su Fuliu’s hand, and frowned. “Aliu, your hands are very cold.”
Chapter 411 Nightmare
"I'm fine. It's normal for my hands to be a little cold after being caught in the rain. Don't worry, Tinglang." Su Fuliu withdrew her hand.
Feng Muting noticed the bloodstains on Su Fuliu's face that hadn't been washed away by the rain, and he couldn't help but worry again: "If A-Liu saw Doctor Lu fighting with someone in a bloody battle, wouldn't A-Liu's heart condition have flared up again?"
"Hmm... but it's okay now, I've recovered on my own."
“Ah Liu…” Feng Muting hugged him tenderly.
He wasn't even by Su Fuliu's side when she had her attack this time. How did Su Fuliu recover on her own?
The scene must have been very bloody, so how could Su Fuliu recover on her own?
Not long after, Bai Yulang returned, having taken a bath and changed into clean clothes. He was carrying a basin of hot water, intending to clean Lu Chimo and change his clothes as well.
"Brother Liu, I'm here. You should go back and take a shower and change your clothes too."
"Yes, Yulang, don't worry too much. I believe that Doctor Lu will wake up soon!" Su Fuliu comforted him.
Bai Yulang nodded: "Yes!"
Afterwards, Feng Muting took Su Fuliu back to her room and asked someone to quickly prepare hot water so that Su Fuliu could take a bath and change her clothes.
While Su Fuliu was taking a bath, he went to find Xie Chen.
Xie Chen told Feng Muting everything that had happened after Su Fuliu and Bai Yulang went out to find Lu Chimo.
Upon hearing this, Feng Muting immediately raised his eyebrows.
His mind was filled with Xie Chen's words about Su Fuliu picking up a bloodstained knife from the blood and killing those people.
He didn't know if this was a good thing or a bad thing.
It should have been a good thing that Su Fuliu was able to overcome her heart ailment, was unafraid of blood, and killed someone with a knife.
But whenever he thought of that scene, he felt uneasy, though he couldn't quite put his finger on why.
After asking what was wrong, Feng Muting returned to his room. He thought Su Fuliu should have finished washing up by now, but when he opened the door, he didn't see Su Fuliu resting on the bed: "A-Liu?"
He paused for a moment, then looked towards the screen and saw an arm dangling over the edge of the bathtub. He was horrified and rushed over immediately, only to find Su Fuliu unconscious, leaning against the bathtub.
Feng Muting was trembling with fear, because if Su Fuliu had slipped into the water after losing consciousness and he had only just arrived, Su Fuliu would probably have drowned.
He quickly pulled Su Fuliu out of the water, dried him off, and carried him to bed.
Su Fuliu's body was burning hot, clearly indicating that she had caught a cold.
This silly boy is still worrying about Bai Yulang catching a cold, but he doesn't even consider his own physical condition.
Feng Muting summoned the imperial physician to examine Su Fuliu. After examining her, the physician prescribed fever-reducing medicine and had it prepared.
"My darling, get well soon. Your Tinglang is heartbroken." Feng Muting sat on the edge of the bed, holding Su Fuliu's hand, and murmured.
The servants prepared the medicine and brought it over. Feng Muting gently blew on it until it was no longer too hot to drink, and then he tried to feed it to Su Fuliu. However, this time the medicine was particularly difficult to feed her. Every time he tried to feed her a mouthful, Su Fuliu would spit it out.
You can't do without medicine.
There was nothing he could do but drink a sip himself and then feed Su Fuliu a sip.
After finishing the bowl of medicine, Feng Muting's mouth tasted terribly bitter, but he managed to feed Su Fuliu all the medicine. He got up and put the empty bowl on the table.
At this moment, Su Fuliu, who was in a coma, dreamed that he was in complete darkness, when suddenly a flash of blood stung his eyes.
He looked toward the blood-red light, and the darkness suddenly receded, revealing Xiao Shixun's cold face.
A sinister smile played on Xiao Shixun's lips as he grabbed the woman from the ground, gripping her neck and looking at him: "Xiao Shijing, if you don't want your mother to die in front of you, let me pierce your collarbone and cripple your martial arts, otherwise..."
"Shijing, no, don't listen to him! Mother is alright, you mustn't listen to him..."
Xiao Shixun tightened his grip, and the woman instantly struggled to breathe: "Xiao Shijing, I have no patience. You'd better decide quickly: do you want to watch your mother die in front of you, or do you want me to cripple your martial arts?!"
Chapter 412 Kill Me
"No, no! Release my mother! I'll do anything you ask!" Xiao Shijing's eyes were filled with tears.
Seeing his beloved mother being tightly gripped by Xiao Shixun's neck, how could he not give in?
After laughing a few times, Xiao Shixun signaled to the people around him to make a move.
"No, Shijing—" the woman cried out in anguish.
Then came Xiao Shijing's heart-wrenching screams of pain as his shoulders were pierced by sharp black iron, blood splattering everywhere.
Then, the sharp black iron was mercilessly pulled out, along with flesh and blood.
Xiao Shixun seemed to be admiring his own work, and he clicked his tongue in satisfaction.
"Your Highness, revered by all, where is your nobility? Where is your radiance? Tell me, what do your people who love you so dearly think when they see you lying here like a lump of mud, unable to even get up?"
Xiao Shijing ignored his harsh words, vomited a mouthful of blood, and then said intermittently, "Release...release my mother..."
Xiao Shixun laughed: "Don't rush, it's not over yet, the pipa hook hasn't been inserted into your body yet!"
After saying that, he gestured to the people around him, who then mercilessly fastened two black pipa hooks into his shoulders.
Xiao Shijing was in excruciating pain, wishing he could just smash his head against the wall and die, but he couldn't die. His mother, his Shijin, and his elder sister were all in Xiao Shixun's hands.
Xiao Shixun coldly watched Xiao Shijing curl up in pain and whimper. He glanced at the person beside him, who nodded and went over to pinch his face, forcibly feeding him a bowl of colorless and tasteless liquid.
Xiao Shijing didn't know how long he had been in pain, until his whole body was numb, his eyes bloodshot, and his lips bleeding from being bitten. He endured it all, looked at Xiao Shixun, and said in a trembling voice, "Let...let go..."
Before he could finish speaking, Xiao Shixun laughed and said, "No problem, I'll release your mother right away."
With that, he let go.
The woman immediately ran towards Xiao Shijing crying, for the pain in her son's body was a mother's pain!
But before she could reach Xiao Shijing, a long sword suddenly pierced her chest, splattering blood all over Xiao Shijing's face: "Mother Empress—!!!"
"Shijing..." The woman collapsed to the ground, lifeless.
"Xiao Shixun, I'm going to kill you, ah—!!!" But Xiao Shijing couldn't even stand up.
“Kill me? Heh…” Xiao Shixun waved his hand, and the people around him brought over four-year-old Xiao Shijin.
Xiao Shijin ran to the woman's side crying, calling out, "Mother, Mother, what's wrong? Wake up! Brother Jing, what's wrong with Mother? Why isn't Mother paying attention to me? Waaaaah..."
“Shijin…Shijin…” Xiao Shijing looked at him, feeling extremely uneasy.
Xiao Shixun is a wolf in sheep's clothing; he probably won't let any of them go.
Sure enough, the next second, Xiao Shixun waved his hand again, and his men came over and lifted Xiao Shijin up.
"Let me go, let me go, Brother Jing, Brother Jing, save me, I'm scared..." Xiao Shijin cried, waving his little hands in fear, wanting Xiao Shijing to hug him.
"No, Xiao Shixun, I beg you, I beg you, please don't... release Shijin, release him..." Xiao Shijing cried out.
"Brother Jing..." Xiao Shijin called out one last time before being thrown into the well.
Xiao Shijing wanted to save him, he really wanted to save him, but he couldn't move his hands.
He closed his eyes in despair and roared, "Kill me, Xiao Shixun, just kill me..."
Xiao Shixun's laughter was like a demonic sound, piercing his eardrums: "Xiao Shijing, aren't you the most dazzling crown prince of Xiao Kingdom, possessing unparalleled beauty, unparalleled medical skills, talent for governing the country, and proficiency in all arts, including music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, and revered and loved by all people, shining wherever you go? What's wrong with you now? Why are you lying here motionless, begging me to kill you?"
"You killed me...killed me..." Xiao Shijing's voice grew softer and softer.
Chapter 413 I'll Kill You
Xiao Shixun's laughter lingered in Xiao Shijing's ears, impossible to shake off.
"Xiao Shijing, come and kill me! Come and kill me! Kill me to avenge your dead family! Come on!"
Xiao Shijing lay on the ground covered in blood. One second he felt so much pain that he couldn't breathe, but the next second the pain suddenly stopped. He stood up and gathered strength in his hands.
His eyes were bloodshot as he stared at Xiao Shixun, who was laughing wildly before him: "Xiao Shixun, I'm going to kill you—!!"
Xiao Shixun was shocked to see him suddenly stand up.
Xiao Shijing swung his hand at him, shouting, "Xiao Shixun, I'm going to kill you, kill you!"
Feng Muting, who had been staying by Su Fuliu's side, noticed that Su Fuliu suddenly broke out in a cold sweat and began to feel uneasy.
He quickly grabbed Su Fuliu's hand and asked, "Aliu, what's wrong? Did you have a nightmare? Aliu, wake up!!"
"Xiao Shixun, I'm going to kill you, kill you!" Su Fuliu roared, breaking free from Feng Muting's hand and striking Feng Muting in the chest with a palm strike.
Feng Muting was knocked away and slammed hard against the wall, causing cracks to appear and debris to fall down.
He fell to the ground and coughed up a mouthful of blood. If he hadn't been worried about Su Fuliu, he would have already passed out.
Feng Muting endured the excruciating pain in his chest, shook his head to clear his blurred vision, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and staggered to his feet: "A-Liu..."
He propped himself up and walked back to the bedside. Looking at Su Fuliu, who was still having a nightmare, he was about to reach out when Su Fuliu suddenly struck him with a palm. He then smashed through the door and fell outside.
He coughed up another mouthful of blood. If it weren't for his good physical condition, Su Fuliu's two slaps would have killed him long ago.
"Ah Liu..." Feng Muting tried to stand up, but he felt excruciating pain all over his body. Su Fuliu had slapped him twice in the chest, and it felt like his internal organs had been shattered.
"Your Highness!" Su Yan rushed over upon hearing the commotion and saw Feng Muting lying there, blood streaming from the corner of his mouth.
Feng Muting frowned, clutching his aching chest: "Call Xie Chen...find a way to knock A Liu unconscious."
"Yes!" Su Yan didn't dare to ask any more questions and quickly called Xie Chen over.
After Xie Chen arrived, Feng Muting said again, "Don't hurt him, cough cough..."
Before he could finish speaking, Feng Muting couldn't help but spit out another mouthful of blood: "You're no match for him now, be careful."
"Understood, subordinate." Xie Chen naturally knew that he was no match for Su Fuliu at the moment, as he had known when he saw Su Fuliu kill those bad guys.
He then cautiously entered the room.
Feng Muting could no longer hold on; his vision went black, and he fainted.
"Your Highness!" Su Yan exclaimed.
But before he could carry Feng Muting away, Xie Chen was also struck out by Su Fuliu's palm.
"Thank you, Chen!" Su Yan was going crazy.
