Feng Xun rubbed his head in embarrassment at Old Man Ba's words.
They hadn't known that Feng Wu was the ugly girl back then, and they had chased after her in a frenzy.
Feng Xun remembered that he had even chased her into a brothel.
At that thought, Feng Xun exchanged looks with Jun Linyuan.
Jun Linyuan turned his head away …
He didn't want to talk about such an embarrassing thing again.
"Ahem …" Feng Xun changed the subject right away, drawing Old Man Ba's attention elsewhere.
…
Not only did Feng Wu meet Old Man Ba, but many of the neighbors as well.
She didn't know if Jun Linyuan was doing it on purpose, but he stayed by Feng Wu's side the whole time, as if to protect her.
The way the neighbors looked at them … suddenly became ambiguous.
They were all astonished when they learned that this was the famous crown prince!
A year ago, when Jun Linyuan came to Northern Border City, they had thought that he was a god from heaven who was so powerful that they couldn't keep a distance from him. This time, however, he looked like an immortal who had descended from heaven.
When Lady Wang teased them, not only didn't the crown prince get angry, he even smiled a little … That was so …
Even after Feng Wu, Jun Linyuan, and the others left Northern Border City, the people of Northern Border City still talked about this meeting for a long time …
By the time the mayor of Northern Border City arrived, Feng Wu and Jun Linyuan were already gone.
"They're gone?" Frustrated, the mayor asked Uncle Lan loudly.
Uncle Lan nodded as he swept the floor. "Yes."
The mayor was vexed. Why was he cultivating in seclusion? Why didn't he see the crown prince when he was here?
Meanwhile, Feng Wu and Jun Linyuan were already on their way to the imperial capital.
It had taken Feng Wu more than a month to get here, but now, she didn't even need a month.
In just seven days, they were back in the imperial capital.
Feng Wu didn't even go home. Instead, she sent Jun Linyuan to his manor.
Because Jun Linyuan needed to recover from his internal injuries, and he had gained some enlightenment.
Feng Wu sent Jun Linyuan to the basement of the manor.
"Just stay here and recuperate. No matter what happens outside, you are not allowed to come out until your injuries are healed. Do you understand?"
Feng Wu was serious this time, and she stared at Jun Linyuan.
The crown prince frowned a little.
Putting both hands on Jun Linyuan's shoulders, Feng Wu said in a very serious tone, "Jun Linyuan, if you don't take care of your internal injuries, you won't be able to go on."
Jun Linyuan kept getting injured, and each time, his dantian would be damaged. Feng Wu had examined it and found that his dantian was badly injured and very fragile.
"The most important thing for you now is to recover. Listen to me, okay?" Feng Wu almost begged.
"Three months. I'll come out of seclusion in three months." Jun Linyuan stared at Feng Wu without blinking.
"Sure." Feng Wu smiled.
…
Feng Wu left the basement and set up a barrier around the area.
That way, no one would be able to interrupt Jun Linyuan's cultivation.
No matter what happened outside, Jun Linyuan couldn't hear it.
Only in this way could he focus on healing his body.
"The next three months are very important." Feng Wu stared at Granny Gong.
Seeing the serious look on Feng Wu's face, Granny Gong turned serious as well.
Feng Wu added, "Don't let anyone know that he's here … He can't stop his recovery this time. Otherwise, there's a good chance that his dantian will be destroyed … and he might even become a demon!"
Granny Gong nodded again.
Feng Wu turned to leave after that.
Granny Gong stopped her again. "Miss Wu, please wait."
"Hm?" Feng Wu stopped, turned around, and looked at Granny Gong in bewilderment.
Looking at the sealed area, Granny Gong then at Feng Wu. After some thought, she said, "Miss Wu … aren't you going to stay here? If His Royal Highness knows, I'm sure he'll want you to stay here. "
What Granny Gong wanted to ask the most was, "Aren't you worried about His Royal Highness's health?"
Feng Wu nodded. "The next three months are very important, and I have to stay here to protect him. However, there's something I need to take care of first."
Granny Gong let out a breath of relief.
Feng Wu returned to the Feng manor.
Qiuling and the others came to greet her.
They had been worried about Feng Wu for the past few months. Now that Feng Wu was finally home, they were finally relieved.
Duan Chaoge burst into tears as soon as she saw Feng Wu.
"Sob, Xiao Wu, why did you leave? I've missed you so much these past three months …"
Duan Chaoge wiped her tears as she said, "I've been hearing a lot of news from the northwest. Some people even said that you died on the way. How could I believe that? I beat her up! "
Feng Wu frowned a little. "Died?"
Duan Chaoge nodded repeatedly. "That's right. His Majesty has been worried sick."
Feng Wu then asked Granny Zhao what was going on.
Granny Zhao's eyes were red, and she nodded with lingering fear. "There was news that you died in the Northern Yan Kingdom, and … it seems that …"
"What is it?" Feng Wu asked.
Granny Zhao said, "It seems to have something to do with Princess Lianxi of Northern Yan."
Feng Wu said, "Huh? So, the rumor is that Princess Lianxi killed me? "
Granny Zhao nodded. "Your Uncle Qiu was in a hurry to find out what happened, but His Royal Highness, Young Lord Feng, and Young Lord Xuanyi weren't there. In the end, he went to Northern Feng Mansion to ask around, but there was no response …
"I don't know how, but my wife found out …
"By the way, where's my mother?!" Feng Wu grabbed Granny Zhao and asked anxiously, "I've been back for a while. Why haven't I seen her? Where is she? "
Feng Wu rushed into the house, followed by Granny Zhao and the others.
"She's in the back room. I was talking to your Uncle Qiu in a low voice, but somehow, your mother overheard us. She vomited blood when she heard that you were … dead. She hasn't been well ever since."
Tears welled up in Granny Zhao's eyes again. "She's been getting worse and worse in the past month …"
"Where's the imperial physician? Didn't he send for him?! " Feng Wu almost burst into tears when she saw her mother, who had lost a lot of weight on the bed. She took her mother's hand and checked her pulse.
Granny Zhao said, "His Majesty has sent Master Chu here, but he said that it's a terminal illness and he can't do anything about it. How can it be a terminal illness …"
Taking a deep breath, Feng Wu cleared her mind of all her frustrations, and only then did she check her mother's pulse carefully.
Feng Wu frowned a little when she was done.
She hadn't believed that it was a terminal illness. After all, excessive worry couldn't be a terminal illness. However, her mother's pulse …
