CHAPTER 151: CHAPTER 141: SHALL WE CHECK OUT OUR NEW ROOM?

Then he hurriedly asked, "Where is the Crown Prince now?"

"General, the Crown Prince should have already started his return journey, right?" replied his subordinate.

At these words, Lin Changqing immediately raised his voice and said, "What? He’s already on his way back? Why didn’t he rejoin the army before returning?"

Seeing Lin Changqing so agitated, the deputy generals beside him couldn’t help but exchange quick glances.

It seemed that Lin Changqing and the Crown Prince really had a terrible relationship.

However, it was no wonder he was so angry, given that the Crown Prince silently took the credit that should have belonged to Lin Changqing.

The subordinate shook his head and said, "I don’t know either."

Lin Changqing’s expression fell, clearly unhappy.

Finally having a chance to interact more with the Crown Prince outside the Capital City, without being watched by all those informants, and yet the Crown Prince just had to return like that.

Too disappointing.

But his unhappy expression, in the eyes of others, naturally became evidence of Lin Changqing’s displeasure with Feng Qiwu.

So it wasn’t long before rumors of Lin Changqing and Feng Qiwu’s discord spread like wildfire throughout the entire army, making the rumors even more believable.

Lin Changqing couldn’t help but twitch his lips in silence at the news.

He cursed those idiots in his heart.

He admired the Crown Prince too much to possibly resent him or be displeased with him.

A bunch of blind fools!

...

Meanwhile, Bai Susu and Feng Qiwu had already traveled half the journey lightly equipped.

Because Bai Susu was in a hurry to return and cultivate penicillin, she kept urging Feng Qiwu not to stop and rest.

Feng Qiwu didn’t expect her to be so relentless when busy, but he couldn’t bear to see her anxious, so he traveled through the night.

Thus, what would have taken several days of travel was completed in just a day and a half this time.

When they arrived back at the Capital City, it was already early morning.

By then, the city gates were tightly closed.

Upon seeing this, Bai Susu couldn’t help but look at Feng Qiwu, "Shu Kuang, can we get in now?"

Upon hearing this, Feng Qiwu curled his lips and said, "Of course we can."

After saying that, he reached out and wrapped his arm around Bai Susu’s waist, taking her out through the carriage door.

On the city walls, the night soldiers were patrolling back and forth.

But Feng Qiwu simply held Bai Susu and gracefully leaped up into the night, silently crossing the tall city wall and entering the city.

This was Bai Susu’s first experience of Qinggong from a first-person perspective.

She only felt incredibly amazed.

A city wall over ten meters high, yet Feng Qiwu could leap over it while carrying her.

Perhaps the martial arts in modern wuxia novels were not just the author’s imagination, but once truly existed.

...

Once inside the city, Feng Qiwu didn’t directly send Bai Susu back to the Bai Mansion, but instead softly laughed and said to her, "Susu, do you want to see our new room at my Eastern Palace?"

He had someone redecorate the palatial room early for her arrival.

He just didn’t know if she’d like it?

And when Bai Susu heard the words "new room," for some reason, she suddenly felt a blush and her heart raced.

In her mind, she couldn’t help but imagine their life after marriage.

Then she immediately responded with a sound of assent.

Hearing this, Feng Qiwu couldn’t help but curl his lips slightly, and the next moment, he darted swiftly toward the Eastern Palace with Bai Susu.

Soon, the two of them entered the Eastern Palace.

Seeing Feng Qiwu return with a woman, Li Cang immediately rushed out with a lantern, "Your Highness, you’ve returned? Is this the future Crown Princess Consort?" Li Cang’s face was filled with a gratified smile, his face irrepressibly blooming like a flower.

Bai Susu showed a bashful expression and nodded.

Feng Qiwu then solemnly instructed Li Cang, "Go prepare some food."

"Yes, Your Highness, I’ll go right away." Li Cang replied with a smile.

Then he hurried to call his wife to the kitchen to prepare the meal.

Meanwhile, Feng Qiwu led Bai Susu directly to his hot spring room.

"Susu, take a bath here." Feng Qiwu looked at Bai Susu with deep eyes.

Bai Susu couldn’t help but instinctively ask, "What about you?"

"What? Is Susu reluctant to let me go? Do you want to invite me to join?" Feng Qiwu asked with a smile.

Bai Susu’s ears turned red instantly, "What are you thinking? I just want to know what you’re going to do and when you’ll be back."

"Don’t worry, I’ll just be away to give some instructions and be back in half an hour. Take your time in the bath, don’t rush," Feng Qiwu said with a smile.

"I got it, go ahead and get busy then." Bai Susu nodded.

"Yes, the hot spring water is warm, remember to have a maid stay nearby to prevent fainting and accidentally slipping into the pool." Feng Qiwu meticulously advised.

"I know, I have the Mermaid Pearl with me, even if I fall in, it won’t be a problem." Bai Susu lifted her bag and replied.

Seeing this, Feng Qiwu nodded, then gave her a gentle kiss on the forehead and turned to leave.

At the door, he didn’t forget to coldly instruct the maid at the entrance, "Take good care of the Crown Princess Consort!"

The maid shivered, "Yes, Your Highness."

...

After Feng Qiwu left, Bai Susu looked around.

Then she couldn’t help but marvel at Feng Qiwu’s enjoyment.

It’s unknown where the water in this hot spring pool was sourced from, but it maintained its temperature continuously.

And its aroma... seemed to be of a natural hot spring.

Soon Bai Susu couldn’t be bothered to think much about it; she had never soaked in a hot spring even in modern times, so she took the chance to enjoy it today.

After that, she quickly took off her clothes and walked into the hot spring pool.

The warm spring water enveloped her body, making Bai Susu feel much more comfortable all over.

But she didn’t expect that, though the spring water was warm at first, the temperature seemed to drop the longer she stayed in.

Suddenly, Bai Susu shivered in the water, intending to stand up.

These days, having been eating and sleeping with Feng Qiwu, she almost forgot that her frail body turns cold at night.

But... could it be that the spring water was cooled by her body temperature?

If that’s the case, her constitution was indeed a bit frightening.

Thinking of this, Bai Susu quickly stepped on a rock to go ashore.

But she slipped, unexpectedly falling into the hot spring with a splash.

However, before she fell, she swiftly grabbed the Mermaid Pearl.

Feeling extremely fortunate in her heart, she was glad she kept the Mermaid Pearl close at hand.

This hot spring pool was about as deep as a swimming pool, and since she couldn’t swim, it would have been terrible if she wasn’t pulled out in time.

Hearing the splash, the maid behind the screen quickly approached, "Crown Princess Consort, what happened?"

Then she saw Bai Susu sinking into the hot spring pool.

The maid’s face instantly turned white, "Crown Princess Consort! Someone help! The Crown Princess Consort fell into the pool!"

With that, she quickly plunged into the hot spring pool, trying to pull Bai Susu’s body out.

If anything happened to the Crown Princess Consort, her end would be very, very tragic!
