When he returned to the room, Bai Yulang was already asleep on the bed, his handkerchief on the floor and the blanket uncovered.
He shook his head helplessly, walked over, bent down and gently turned Bai Yulang over, picked him up, moved him a little further into the bed, and then pulled the quilt over Bai Yulang.
"Senior brother..." Bai Yulang murmured.
Lu Chimo smiled and gently stroked his cheek: "Silly Yulang, it's right that you don't want to regain your memories, but anyone who dares to bully my silly Yulang, your senior brother will not let them get away with it."
The next day, Feng Muting got up early and, seeing that Su Fuliu was awake, quickly asked, "Aliu, how are you? Are you alright?"
Su Fuliu nodded: "It's okay, my stomach doesn't hurt anymore."
"That's good. What would you like to eat for breakfast? I'll go get it for you."
Su Fuliu shook her head: "I'm not hungry, I don't want to eat."
Feng Muting frowned slightly. Lu Chimo had said last night that Su Fuliu would not have much of an appetite these days, and sure enough, Su Fuliu did not want to eat anything this morning.
You see, his Ah Liu is a little foodie, but now she doesn't want to eat anything, which makes him very upset.
He coaxed gently, "A grown person like you can't go without eating anything, otherwise you won't even have the strength to walk. How about I go and get you some porridge? You can't eat anything else, but you have to eat some porridge."
Although Su Fuliu really didn't want to eat anything, Feng Muting was right. If he didn't eat anything, his body wouldn't be able to handle it, and he would lose his strength.
So he nodded: "Okay, then I'll have a bowl of porridge."
Feng Muting smiled slightly: "Alright, I'll go get it right away."
When Feng Muting brought a bowl of lean meat porridge to Su Fuliu, Su Fuliu felt nauseous as soon as she smelled the meat and couldn't help but gag.
Chapter 264 I've said the wrong thing again.
"Ah Liu!" When Feng Muting saw Su Fuliu like this, he quickly put down the lean meat porridge, went over and hugged him, "What's wrong? Why do you feel like throwing up?"
Su Fuliu pinched her nose and said with a bitter face, "Your Highness, please take that bowl of lean meat porridge away. It's too fishy."
Upon hearing this, Feng Muting quickly went over and took the lean meat porridge out, placing it at the doorway.
Su Fuliu breathed a sigh of relief, patted his chest, and said, "Looks like I'd better not eat it."
Feng Muting clicked his tongue lightly: "This won't do either. How can your body take it if you don't eat anything? You lie down for a while. I'll go ask Doctor Lu."
Before he could even leave, Lu Chimo arrived: "I've come to see if Young Master Su is feeling better."
Upon seeing him arrive, Feng Muting quickly said, "Dr. Lu, you've come at the perfect time. Ah Liu has no appetite at all. I finally managed to coax him to eat something, but before he even got it to his mouth, he was about to throw up just from the smell. How can this be allowed?"
"What food did Your Highness give to Young Master Su?" Lu Chimo walked over and asked while taking Su Fuliu's pulse.
“Ah Liu said he couldn’t eat, so I brought him some lean meat porridge, thinking it would be easier for him to eat. But I didn’t expect him to react so strongly. He even asked me to take the porridge further away,” Feng Muting explained.
“Plain porridge should be fine, Your Highness shouldn’t have given him lean meat porridge. Young Master Su’s stomach is upset right now. Although his stomach doesn’t hurt anymore, he’s still not feeling well. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have said that he’d have a poor appetite these past few days. Your Highness should have given him something light and bland to eat. It’s best not to bring him chicken, duck, fish, or meat with a fishy smell for now. He feels uncomfortable just smelling them,” Lu Chimo replied.
Feng Muting suddenly realized: "So that's how it is. It's all my fault. I thought that just drinking some plain porridge wouldn't be enough, and that I would need to eat some meat to have the strength. But I didn't expect that A-Liu would suffer again. When will A-Liu be fully recovered?"
Lu Chimo shook his head: "It's hard to say. If things go well, he should be better in the next couple of days. If not, it might take a month or two. It depends on Young Master Su's constitution."
Upon hearing this, Feng Muting was immediately distressed. His promise had truly ruined Su Fuliu's life.
Looking at Feng Muting's self-reproachful expression, Su Fuliu said, "I'm fine. I'm in good health, and I should be better in the next couple of days."
"With your frail appearance, how good can your physique be?" Feng Muting retorted. Putting aside everything else, just considering that Su Fuliu had suffered such a serious injury, her physique couldn't be that good.
Su Fuliu pouted, a hint of grievance on her face.
Feng Muting was taken aback, and quickly coaxed, "Good A-Liu, I misspoke again. I deserve to be slapped. Come on, hit me."
As he spoke, he grabbed Su Fuliu's hand and slapped it against his own mouth.
Su Fuliu glanced at Lu Chimo, then withdrew her hand somewhat embarrassed, thinking to herself that Feng Muting didn't know how to consider the occasion. There were outsiders present; did he not care about his image as a prince?
Lu Chimo coughed lightly and said, "Anyway, just be careful with your diet during this time, Young Master Su. I won't disturb you any longer, I'll be leaving now."
After Lu Chimo left, Feng Muting grasped Su Fuliu's hand again: "Really, your eyes were all better, and we could have gone back in a couple of days, but I made you sick again."
Su Fuliu replied, "It's nothing, it's not a big deal. As long as we pay attention to our diet, we'll be fine. It's not like we can't set off back. Your Highness has been away for so long, I wonder if the Emperor has already given you any objections? Why don't we set off back today?"
Chapter 265 I'm really amazing!
“It’s been so long already, there’s no rush. Let’s wait a couple more days and see. Maybe you’ll be fully recovered. But if you’re still not better, then we’ll set off, and I’ll take you back to the palace to recuperate,” Feng Muting said.
Su Fuliu thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay."
"Then, I'll go get you another bowl of plain porridge." With that, Feng Muting went to get the porridge, not wanting Su Fuliu to go hungry.
So, Su Fuliu and Feng Muting stayed in Guichen for another two days, but after two days, Su Fuliu's appetite was still the same and had not recovered.
Therefore, Feng Muting could only take Su Fuliu back first.
The two of them went to say goodbye to Yuan Qingshan. Just then, Lu Chimo and Bai Yulang also came to say goodbye to Yuan Qingshan. Lu Chimo was also going back to the capital, and Bai Yulang naturally followed.
Yuan Qingshan sighed softly, "It's been so lively these past few days. Now that everyone's gone, Guichen is quiet again in an instant."
Bai Yulang said, "Master, don't worry, my senior brother and I will come back to visit you often!"
Yuan Qingshan glanced at him and said, "As long as you don't come back to upset your teacher, that's fine."
"Of course not, how could I possibly upset Master? I'll learn to behave by following my senior brother," Bai Yulang said with a smile.
Yuan Qingshan nodded, then looked at Lu Chimo, and the master and disciple exchanged glances.
Some things didn't need to be said; Lu Chimo already understood. He cupped his hands and said, "Master, take care."
"Okay, go now, take care." Yuan Qingshan's eyes were full of reluctance. He lowered his eyes and waved his hand.
Lu Chimo and Bai Yulang left together with Feng Muting and Su Fuliu.
The four of them traveled together back to the capital.
Midway through their journey, they stopped to rest by a stream.
Bai Yulang pulled Su Fuliu up and said, "Brother Liu, shall we go catch some fish?"
Feng Muting immediately said, "Ah Liu is still not well, so let's not do anything too strenuous."
Bai Yulang pursed his lips, looking somewhat disappointed.
Su Fuliu laughed and said, "It's alright, I'll go fishing with Yulang. However, I'll just stand by the water and help Yulang find the fish, while Yulang goes into the water to catch them, how about that?"
Bai Yulang nodded: "Okay, okay!"
Then, he immediately pulled Su Fuliu to the stream.
Feng Muting wanted to say something, but seeing Su Fuliu's happy expression, he gave up.
He and Lu Chimo sat there watching the two of them.
Bai Yulang took off his shoes and socks and went into the water.
Su Fuliu stood to the side, staring intently at the stream. When she saw a fish, she immediately pointed it out and whispered, "Yulang, there are fish over there."
Bai Yulang was quick-witted and nimble-fingered; he grabbed it with both hands.
He laughed heartily, "I'm really amazing!"
Su Fuliu nodded: "Yulang has always been very capable!"
The two worked together and caught three fish. Bai Yulang wanted to catch one more, so that they would each have one.
Su Fuliu said, "Yulang, no need, the three of you can eat, I can't eat anymore."
Not only could he not eat, but the smell of grilled fish would probably make him nauseous. He'd probably have to go to the carriage alone to avoid it and quietly eat his dry rations.
"Oh, right, I forgot, your appetite has been ruined by your prince's antics," Bai Yulang said.
Then, he went ashore and waved to Lu Chimo: "Senior brother, come over here quickly, clean up the fish, we'll grill it later!"
Upon being summoned, Lu Chimo immediately got up and walked over.
Feng Muting followed, and he helped Su Fuliu up: "We're going to grill fish later, you..."
"I'll just eat some dry rations in the carriage. Your Highness and the others can have some grilled fish," Su Fuliu replied.
Feng Muting shook his head: "Shall I accompany you?"
"No need, this fish was caught by Yulang with great effort. Your Highness can't refuse to eat it. I can't stand the smell, so I'll just eat something in the carriage," Su Fuliu said.
"Alright," Feng Muting had no choice but to agree.
Afterwards, while Lu Chimo was grilling fish, Su Fuliu went to the carriage not far away. He sat in the carriage, lifted the curtain, and ate his dry rations while watching the three of them.
Feng Muting looked towards the carriage and saw Su Fuliu looking at them, so he raised his hand and waved.
Su Fuliu smiled and waved to him.
However, the happy and blissful time was shattered by several cold glints of light...
Chapter 266 Ah Liu, Close Your Eyes
"Your Highness—!!!" Su Fuliu exclaimed in surprise.
Several arrows shot towards Feng Muting.
Lu Chimo and Bai Yulang were sitting on the side, so there was no way to avoid it.
Lu Chimo pulled Bai Yulang away from the stray arrow, and after dodging the arrow, Feng Muting's first reaction was to look towards the carriage.
Without a second thought, Su Fuliu jumped off the carriage and ran toward Feng Muting.
Feng Muting shouted, "Ah Liu, don't come any closer!"
Su Fuliu paused in her steps.
Another volley of arrows came flying, all aimed at Feng Muting.
It was obvious that these assassins were after Feng Muting.
Su Fuliu stood there watching the three of them parry and dodge the arrows, his fists clenched. The two most important people in his life were in danger, but he couldn't do anything to help.
Not only could he not help at all, but he also needed their protection.
At that moment, he felt like a complete waste.
He couldn't help but raise his hand to press his shoulder, his once bright eyes becoming dark and unfathomable.
