CHAPTER 1384: CHAPTER 1383: YOU BELIEVE HER OVER ME?

Yuxing has survived, but the injuries are too severe, and she has not woken up yet.

Ding Chen has been taking care of her all this time.

The villagers don’t seem to know what happened; everyone is still busy treating the sick and rebuilding the village.

Xi Jiu has already made preparations, and he will be ready to set off for the capital soon.

As long as Chu Qianli is prepared, they can depart as well.

This was the second evening of Yuxing’s unconsciousness, and Fen Ling arrived, accompanied by Leng Ji.

"I heard Yuxing has returned?" Fen Ling seemed greatly concerned for Yuxing. "How is she now?"

Feng Yexuan was working with Chu Qianli to concoct medicine.

Lately, this "Prince Xuan" had set aside martial pursuits and started diving into medical research.

And surprisingly, compared to an average beginner, he was picking it up incredibly fast, with astounding progress.

As expected of someone chosen by fate—he learns everything faster than others! Heaven certainly played favorites this time, not just opening a door for him but flinging all the windows wide open as well.

After just a few days by Chu Qianli’s side, his medical skills were already comparable to that of a fairly competent doctor.

Seeing Fen Ling rushing in anxiously, something flickered in Feng Yexuan’s eyes.

"Why are you so concerned about Yuxing?" His tone was slightly cold.

Fen Ling was caught off guard. "Yexuan, what do you mean by that?"

Even Chu Qianli looked somewhat surprised.

She had previously mentioned that Yuxing had been ensnared by an Illusion Technique, and now it seemed Feng Yexuan believed her over Fen Ling?

This was unexpected.

After all, his body was still afflicted with both Poisonous Insect Poison and hypnotism.

For him to trust her was truly incredible.

"Yexuan, you’re believing her over me?" Fen Ling pointed at Chu Qianli, fuming with rage.

Before coming here, she’d reminded herself not to lose her composure in Feng Yexuan’s presence.

The calmer she appeared before Prince Xuan, the more convincing she would be.

But she simply couldn’t remain calm.

"Miss Fen, what do you mean by that?"

Chu Qianli raised her eyebrows, feigning innocence. "You’re arguing with Prince Xuan—what does that have to do with me? Don’t involve me; I’m very busy."

"You!" Fen Ling ground her teeth, so furious that her jaws audibly clenched.

Feng Yexuan, however, calmly remarked, "I have other matters to attend to. If you’re feeling idle, perhaps you could see if there’s anything you can do to assist the villagers."

"Yexuan..."

"We’ll return to the Imperial City tomorrow. You should prepare as well."

"Tomorrow?" Fen Ling was taken aback. She had thought they would leave tonight.

Chu Qianli also glanced at Feng Yexuan, a trace of surprise flickering in her gaze.

Wasn’t it agreed that they would set off tonight?

Soon, however, she understood.

The plan had not changed; he simply did not intend to inform Fen Ling.

It appeared that, in Feng Yexuan’s eyes, Fen Ling was not as important as she liked to believe.

The Poisonous Insect Poison was still in his body, yet his emotions continued to shift. Was the poison not potent enough, or was Prince Xuan simply too strong-willed?

For the time being, it remained an unknown variable.

"We’ve been away for a long time. I don’t know how things are with Master now; we must return quickly,"

Feng Yexuan explained indifferently, then added, "Go back and pack your things."

"Yexuan..."

"I said, I still have work to do!" Feng Yexuan’s tone suddenly intensified.

Fen Ling bit her lip, swallowing all the words she had intended to say.

He was angry again.

Lately, he seemed to get angry with her often, treating her with impatience.

He was no longer the Feng Yexuan of the past, the one who had doted on her to no end!

"Fine, I’ll go pack my things now," she said, suppressing her resentment to avoid provoking him further. "Yexuan, make sure to get some rest yourself."
