CHAPTER 1375: CHAPTER 1374: STIRRING UP TROUBLE FOR THIS PRINCE AGAIN

"Yexuan..."

Fen Ling’s feelings were complex; there were many things she wanted to say but dared not to.

Why was he so certain that Yuxing hadn’t left of her own will?

Yet she didn’t dare ask.

Feng Yexuan was far too astute. If she asked too much, it would surely provoke suspicion.

"Since you’re still busy, I won’t disturb you. Drink the ginseng soup, so I can tidy up and get some rest."

Feng Yexuan hesitated no longer and picked up the bowl.

Fen Ling knew perfectly well—he simply wanted her to leave as soon as possible.

The current Feng Yexuan did not even want to face her!

But once he finished the ginseng soup, later tonight, when the Poisonous Insect Poison flared up, she’d deepen his hypnosis again, and everything would be fine.

It would soon be fine.

Watching as Feng Yexuan brought the bowl to his lips, Fen Ling’s eyes couldn’t help but flicker with a trace of exhilaration.

Yet she feared Feng Yexuan might notice, so she quickly lowered her gaze.

As long as he drank it, everything would turn out beautifully...

But damn it—just as Feng Yexuan was about to drink the soup, hurried footsteps suddenly echoed from outside.

Wangyue was here!

"Prince, the situation in Fuhua Village has changed. Princess Chu Qianli is already packing to set out!"

With a loud snap, Feng Yexuan put down the soup bowl and stood up to leave.

"Yexuan..."

"Go back and rest!"

Throwing those words behind him, Feng Yexuan strode out the door.

In Fen Ling’s line of sight, that figure disappeared outside like a gust of wind.

Staring at the now-empty doorway, it took her a moment to fully process it.

He was gone.

He left so resolutely and decisively!

Just because Wangyue mentioned that Chu Qianli was setting out, he could hardly wait to chase after her!

That damned tramp! She was simply hauntingly persistent!

Looking at the desk, at the ginseng soup bowl he’d knocked over, Fen Ling’s eyes grew increasingly dark with murderous intent.

If Chu Qianli didn’t die, Feng Yexuan would never belong to her!

Even with the Poisonous Insect Poison, even under hypnosis, his heart still gravitated toward Chu Qianli!

How deep and steadfast must that affection be to overcome barrier after barrier!

Did he really love Chu Qianli that much?

Fen Ling clenched her palm tightly, eventually succumbing to her fury and striking the desk.

"Chu Qianli, if I don’t kill you, I swear I’m no longer human!"

...

Chu Qianli had indeed set out.

After solving the epidemic in Xinhua Village, she had already planned to go to Fuhua Village.

But unexpectedly, before her preparations were complete, bad news arrived from Fuhua.

The physicians couldn’t hold on, and villagers were fleeing en masse.

The Prince had already rushed to Fuhua Village to help stabilize the villagers along with a larger group.

However, the epidemic there was spreading far too quickly. Without a solution, brute force wouldn’t resolve matters.

The final outcome would likely result in either numerous injuries or widespread deaths.

"Princess, I’ll go with you!" Xi Jiu’s primary worry was the dangers along the journey.

"No, you need to stay behind to watch over Xinhua Village in case something goes wrong."

Although Chu Minghao had remained inactive since sustaining serious injuries, there was still Lan Fan to contend with.

Lan Fan had also been injured, but after three days of rest, his ability to stir trouble had returned.

Though not as formidable as before, he still needed time to recover.

"Jingri’s wounds haven’t healed yet, and Prince Yexuan didn’t bring many people. The Prince himself probably wouldn’t want to bother with these trivial matters."

The man was a big figure, after all, and likely found such minor issues involving villagers bothersome.

"So you..."

"Who said this Prince is unwilling?"

Feng Yexuan’s icy voice shot through the air: "You wretched woman, slandering this Prince again? Do you have a death wish?"
