The smell of medicine was very strong in the room. Feng Cang took a deep breath and slowly exhaled. He was very dissatisfied with Jin Mo's answer. His little princess had a secret with another man. It felt very awkward no matter how he thought about it.
"I just left for a while and you guys already have a little secret. Jin Mo, you really know how to take advantage of the situation … "
Feng Cang's tone sounded like a resentful husband, causing goosebumps to appear on Jin Mo's body.
"Your Highness, I really can't say. Let's wait for the princess to tell you personally! However, after what happened today, I feel that the princess is starting to have feelings for you. This is something worth celebrating. Your infatuation with her is not in vain. "
"Alright! I know you want to change the topic, so I won't ask. How are the arrangements over there? Did anything go wrong? "Feng Cang changed the topic and mentioned the Four Nation Youth Competition.
"Don't worry, Your Highness! Everything has been arranged in Yongzhou. East Lu's envoy group is still on the way. Xiqi and Nanfeng have already arrived. They have been arranged to stay in the courier house and everything has been settled. However, the Four Nation Youth Competition this time is different from the previous years. There are some people from the pugilistic world and some of them are experts. Yesterday, Gui Yan found Limitless Palace Palace Master Zhao Lang in Yongzhou City … "
"Oh?" Hearing this, Feng Cang slowly opened his eyes. A faintly discernible smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. A strand of black hair hung in front of his forehead. He gently blew it away, revealing his magnificent face. "Zhao Lang? What is he doing here? Isn't his old lover in Yanjing? Did he change to someone else? "
The mockery in Feng Cang's words caused a smile to appear on Jin Mo's face. His words became even more vicious. "Perhaps! The crown prince's body might not be enough to satisfy him. He needs to change his taste occasionally! "
"Jin Mo, you're evil …" Feng Cang laughed, but his eyes were cold. "Limitless Palace's claws are really long. They actually extended their claws into my territory … Tell Gui Yan to keep a close eye on them. I don't like people doing evil under my watch."
"Yes!"
Just like what Jin Mo had said, Murong Qiqi was already waiting for Feng Cang when he returned to his room after his medicinal bath. She really couldn't wait until the next day to find out the answer, so she waited in the house and wanted to find out what had happened to Feng Cang.
"Qingqing, it's already so late. Why aren't you resting?"
Seeing Murong Qiqi dozing off under the lamp, Feng Cang's heart ached for her. He pulled her into his embrace and covered her small hands with his big hands to warm her up.
"Your Highness, why did you come back so late?"
Murong Qiqi rubbed her eyes. After waiting for a long time, she felt a little sleepy, so she took a nap. Now that she saw Feng Cang, she became energetic again. She leaned into his embrace and smelled the medicinal scent on his body.
"Haha, Qingqing, could it be that you can't wait until the wedding night and are planning to give yourself to us early?" Feng Cang loved the innocent Murong Qiqi very much. His lips gently brushed past her brows and eyes as he pulled her into his embrace.
"That's not it!"
Feng Cang's joke woke Murong Qiqi up. Seeing the smile in his eyes, Murong Qiqi lifted Feng Cang's chin and looked at his face carefully. She praised, "Tsk tsk, Your Highness, you're indeed a feast for the eyes. If you weren't so tired today, I wouldn't mind devouring you clean! Now, shouldn't we talk about your problem? "
"Problem? What problem do I have? "Feng Cang continued to play dumb, but his heart was as sweet as honey. She was worried about him, so she had been waiting here all this time! Jin Mo was right. She already had him in her heart, so she cared about him so much.
"Don't play dumb and don't change the topic. I just want to know who harmed you!" Murong Qiqi's expression turned serious as she stared at Feng Cang's bewitching eyes. "Tell me everything about your problem and the cause of it! Don't hide anything! Otherwise … "
"Otherwise what?" Feng Cang was used to seeing Murong Qiqi being gentle and obedient. This was the first time he saw her being so serious.
Seeing that Feng Cang still wanted to play dumb and hide it from her, Murong Qiqi cupped her chin and smiled sweetly. "I heard that there will be many handsome men coming to the Four Nation Youth Competition. I wonder if that's true? I'll have to take a good look and see if there's anyone I like …"
"I'll talk!" Before Murong Qiqi could finish, Feng Cang immediately surrendered. "Qingqing is mine! You can only look at me and no one else! "
"Good! Then tell me, who on earth did this to you! " When Murong Qiqi thought of Feng Cang's appearance during the day and the poison in his body, her gaze turned even colder. The person who harmed Feng Cang was so vicious. After she found him, she would definitely hack him into pieces and return the pain Feng Cang suffered a thousand times over!
"I'm not sure about the Fetal Poison, but I know about the Ice Poison and Gu Poison. It's like this." Feng Cang hugged Murong Qiqi, his gentle voice sounding cool.
It turned out that during the battle of Yandang Mountain fifteen years ago, Feng Cang had been by his parents' side. That night, Feng Xie had been defeated and the Xiqi Kingdom's army had entered the city to kill and loot. Feng Xie had brought his wife and child away under the escort of the Eagle Cavalry. However, someone had drugged their food and knocked everyone unconscious. When Feng Cang opened his eyes, he was in the city, surrounded by a sea of fire.
"When I woke up, I was already in the ice lake of Yandang Mountain. I was awakened by the bone-chilling lake water. The vines at the bottom of the lake had bound my legs and I couldn't move. It wasn't until five days later that I was rescued. "
Feng Cang spoke very slowly. He did not describe the tragedy in the fire or the situation in the ice lake. He only told the truth in a calm tone.
Murong Qiqi had heard of the ice lake at the bottom of Yandang Mountain. It was a thousand-year-old ice lake and it was bone-chilling all year round. Fifteen years ago, Feng Cang was only ten years old, but he had stayed in the ice lake for five days and five nights! Was this something a child could endure?!
Thinking of this, Murong Qiqi hugged Feng Cang in her arms. "It's okay, it's all over! It's okay now — "
Murong Qiqi coaxed Feng Cang like a child, warming his heart. "Qingqing, I'm fine. It's been so many years, I'm used to it."
"What about the Gu Poison? Who did it? "
"I don't know." Feng Cang shook his head. "I was poisoned not long after I returned to the capital. His Majesty invited an imperial physician to treat me, but he said that it was a mother and child Gu Poison. Only by finding the mother Gu can the child Gu be completely eradicated. However, I've searched for so many years and still can't find the mother Gu. It's probably in the hands of the person who poisoned it! "
