Upon hearing this, Wen Hongye couldn't help but laugh and said, "It's clearly the wind that blows the red leaves wherever it goes."
Gu Xingchen also laughed. He raised his hand and cupped Wen Hongye's face, their eyes meeting.
A blush spread across their faces.
Gu Xingchen swallowed hard and pursed her lips slightly.
The same applies to Wen Hongye.
After a long while, neither of them moved. Finally, Wen Hongye spoke up: "You've been staring at them for so long but haven't even kissed them..."
After he finished speaking, his face became warm.
Gu Xingchen's face flushed, and then he leaned in to gently feel the warmth of Wen Hongye's lips.
Lu Chimo had just stepped out of the room when he saw this scene. He paused in his tracks and immediately turned around, saying, "Sorry to bother you."
Gu Xingchen and Wen Hongye immediately jumped back as if they had been electrocuted.
"Ahem." Gu Xingchen coughed lightly, her face as red as a tomato. "Well, it's getting late. Hongye, go back to your room and rest for a while. I'll go make lunch for everyone!"
Wen Hongye's face was flushed: "Um... I, I'll go back to my room."
Only after the two had fled did Lu Chimo turn around.
He went to the kitchen and saw Gu Xingchen preparing to cook.
When Gu Xingchen saw Lu Chimo arrive, her face, which had finally calmed down, flushed red again in an instant: "Dr. Lu, what are you looking for in the kitchen?"
"I'll bring some hot water. Yulang will definitely need to drink water when he wakes up," Lu Chimo replied.
"Oh... the hot water is over there," Gu Xingchen said, pointing in that direction.
"Hmm." Seeing that Gu Xingchen was so uncomfortable, Lu Chimo went over and picked up the hot water, preparing to leave.
But then Gu Xingchen said, "This thatched hut is a temporary place we found. We don't have much food, so we can only make a few simple dishes and eat as is."
"It's nothing, but it's hard work for Young Master Gu." Lu Chimo naturally wouldn't nitpick.
Gu Xingchen waved his hand: "It's no trouble at all. This is all I can do. Doctor Lu, please go back and take care of Young Master Bai."
Lu Chimo nodded and left with the hot water.
As soon as he returned to his room, he saw that Bai Yulang's hand seemed to move slightly.
He quickly put down the hot water, ran to the bedside, took Bai Yulang's hand, and softly called out, "Yulang!"
Chapter 574 Senior Brother is So Kind
Upon hearing Lu Chimo's voice, Bai Yulang slowly opened his eyes: "Senior brother..."
Lu Chimo wept with joy: "Yu Lang!"
"I... I'm still alive, right?" Bai Yulang asked, staring intently at Lu Chimo in front of him.
Lu Chimo nodded: "Mm!"
"I... I can continue to like my senior brother, right?" Bai Yulang asked again.
Lu Chimo nodded again: "Mm!"
Bai Yulang immediately burst into tears: "Senior brother... Waaah, I saw Ox-Head and Horse-Face! They kept trying to drag me away and take me to see King Yama. When I thought that I would never see my senior brother again after seeing King Yama, I immediately called Xiao Shilang out, and together we beat up Ox-Head and Horse-Face. That's how we managed to escape and come back to see our senior brother!"
Lu Chimo cried and then laughed. He reached out and wiped away Bai Yulang's tears, murmuring, "Silly Yulang..."
The excitement and joy of regaining what was lost made Lu Chimo wish he could meld Bai Yulang into his very bones and never be separated from him again.
Bai Yulang said in a sticky voice, "Senior brother, I'm thirsty."
"I'll get you some hot water." With that, Lu Chimo got up and went to pour Bai Yulang a cup of hot water that had just been brought over.
He carried the water glass back to the bedside, carefully helped Bai Yulang sit up, then gently blew on the water in the glass, took a sip, and when the water wasn't too hot, he held the glass to Bai Yulang's lips to feed him.
After finishing his water, Bai Yulang said, "Senior brother, I'm hungry..."
“This will have to wait a while. Young Master Gu is cooking, so it won’t be ready yet. If Yu Lang is very hungry, why don’t you have some candy to tide you over?” Lu Chi Mo replied.
"Okay, I want my senior brother to feed me candy..." Bai Yulang leaned against the headboard. Although his complexion was not very good, it did not stop him from acting cute.
"Okay, senior brother will feed you." Lu Chimo looked at Bai Yulang who had come back to life. He had always doted on Bai Yulang, and now he wanted to hold Bai Yulang in the palm of his hand and take even more care of him.
Bai Yulang chuckled foolishly: "Senior brother is so kind."
"If Senior Brother isn't doing well, who is?!" Lu Chimo chuckled as he rubbed Bai Yu's forehead, then grabbed a handful of candy from the sack.
Bai Yulang sat there obediently, waiting for his senior brother to feed him candy.
Lu Chimo peeled a piece of candy and held it to Bai Yulang's lips. Bai Yulang was about to open his mouth to eat it when he saw Lu Chimo suddenly pull his hand back and put the candy in his own mouth.
Before Bai Yulang could react with his mouth agape, Lu Chimo had already quickly fed him the candy with his mouth.
"Mmm..." Bai Yulang said, with the candy in his mouth, "Senior brother is so naughty!"
"Didn't you say you wanted your senior brother to feed you?" Lu Chimo smiled as he looked at his handsome young man.
"Okay, I said it, so from now on, you can only feed me candy like this, otherwise I won't eat it!" Bai Yulang reached out and tugged at Lu Chimo's sleeve, showing great dependence.
After lunch, the four of them discussed how to rescue Su Fuliu.
Bai Yulang said, "The antidote has been refined, so let's hurry up and save my brother so that he can escape Xiao Shixun's clutches as soon as possible. However, I am in such a state that I cannot recover in a short time. If I go, my brother will definitely find out that I am not feeling well, so I can't go. I can't let him know how the antidote came about. Besides, in my condition, going with me would only be a hindrance. I can only stay here."
Chapter 575 My Good Husband
“Even if you wanted to go, your senior brother wouldn’t let you. You should stay here and recover properly. Young Master Gu, you should stay as well,” Lu Chimo said.
Upon hearing this, Gu Xingchen immediately looked at Wen Hongye. He didn't want to be separated from Wen Hongye, but if he went with her, he really wouldn't be able to help at all, and would only become a burden to them.
Wen Hongye nodded and said to Gu Xingchen, "Xingchen, why don't you stay here and take care of Young Master Bai?"
“Okay…” Gu Xingchen agreed. Although he didn’t want to be separated from Wen Hongye, this was all he could do. If he could take good care of Bai Yulang, it would put their minds at ease.
Wen Hongye took off the small bamboo basket from her body and slung it over Gu Xingchen's shoulder: "Keep this safe for me, and return it to me when you come back!"
Gu Xingchen grasped his hand, her heart filled with worry: "You must take good care of yourself. Revenge is important, but you must remember that I'm here waiting for you to come back safely."
"Yes, I know. I still need to come back and spend time with my husband!" Wen Hongye said, her face turning red.
After hearing him call him "husband," Bai Yulang and Lu Chimo exchanged a knowing glance.
Then, Bai Yulang grasped Lu Chimo's hand and said loudly, "Senior brother, my good husband, you must take good care of yourself and come back safely to pick me up!"
Lu Chimo chuckled lightly: "Of course, your senior brother will take good care of himself and come back to pick up my little silly girl."
After discussing for about half an hour, Lu Chimo and Wen Hongye bid farewell to Bai Yulang and Gu Xingchen and left.
Bai Yulang and Gu Xingchen immediately stood like statues waiting for their husbands, staring blankly at the doorway.
After a long while, Bai Yulang suddenly threw off the covers and got out of bed.
Gu Xingchen snapped out of her daze and hurried over to help him up: "Young Master Bai, why did you get up?"
Bai Yulang coughed twice, took a breath, and said, "I can't do nothing."
Gu Xingchen was taken aback: "What do you mean? What does Young Master Bai want to do?"
As soon as Lu Chimo and Wen Hongye arrived at the gate of the imperial city, they saw an imperial edict posted on the city wall.
After they finished reading the imperial edict, they all frowned.
“How could Young Master Su…” Wen Hongye did not expect that Su Fuliu’s situation was so bad. No wonder Bai Yulang was so anxious and worried, even at the cost of his life, he was willing to use his body to raise Gu to save his brother.
Lu Chimo's eyes narrowed slightly: "This gives me a perfectly legitimate reason to enter the palace."
Inside the palace.
Xiao Shixun was furious: "Useless! You're all a bunch of useless trash! You can't even save one person! What use are you?!"
Physician Xing, Physician Qu, and Physician Zhang all knelt on the ground.
Xiao Shixun looked at Su Fuliu, who was clinging to life by ginseng, and felt conflicted.
He thought that if Su Fuliu died, he would die with her.
But at the same time, he didn't want Su Fuliu to die like that.
Just then, Yuan Sichen came to report: "Your Majesty, someone has taken down the imperial edict, and it is none other than Lu Chimo, the famous physician of Feng Kingdom."
"Announce!"
"yes."
Before long, Lu Chimo and Wen Hongye were led over by palace servants.
Xiao Shixun glanced at Lu Chimo and immediately recognized him as the person who had impersonated Su Fuliu last time.
He sneered, "They all seem unable to let go of my Jing'er, and have all rushed to Xiao Kingdom."
Upon hearing this, Lu Chimo frowned slightly: "The Prince has arrived?"
Indeed, how could Feng Muting be at ease letting Su Fuliu return alone with Xiao Shixun? And looking at Xiao Shixun's behavior, did he intend to harm Feng Muting?
Chapter 576 Try it and you'll die
Xiao Shixun let out another cold laugh: "Yes, I'm having him treated well right now."
Lu Chimo immediately said, "It would be best if Emperor Xiao hadn't meant it sarcastically, otherwise..."
"Otherwise what? Ha, do you think I'm afraid? I'm not afraid of anything. This power, this life, are not enough to threaten me." Xiao Shixun's eyes were gloomy, like a stagnant pool of lifeless water.
Lu Chimo glanced at Su Fuliu and said, "If Emperor Xiao were truly fearless, he wouldn't have needed to post an imperial edict to find someone to save Young Master Su's life."
Xiao Shixun frowned, his hands behind his back clenching involuntarily: "Then aren't you going to save him?"
"Save him? Of course I'll save him. What am I here for if not to save him? It's just that a perfectly good Young Master Su followed Emperor Xiao back to Xiao Kingdom and ended up like this. I think Young Master Su probably doesn't want to open his eyes to see Emperor Xiao right away, does he?" Lu Chimo retorted.
“He doesn’t want to see me, but I want to see him!” Xiao Shixun replied.
Upon hearing his words, Lu Chimo understood and guessed what kind of life Su Fuliu had been living with Xiao Shixun during this time.
He then said, "Alright, if Emperor Xiao is here, then I don't need to save Young Master Su. It would be futile to save him. Otherwise, if he sees Emperor Xiao here, he might just die. Emperor Xiao, don't think I'm exaggerating. If you don't believe me, you can try it. But don't blame me for not reminding you, Emperor Xiao, that trying it could lead to your death, and there will be no chance to regret it."
"You didn't even take his pulse, how could you know his condition? How could you know that he would die as soon as he saw me after waking up?!" Xiao Shixun was very unhappy; Lu Chimo's words were too offensive to him.
