Chapter 12 Chapter 12 At that time, he never thought that the rabbit would die…

Feng Yue hugged Wei Xiaofeng tightly, took two steps, and suddenly thought of something. He turned back and looked at the collapsed *ge’r* beside him. He had no choice but to use his other arm to hold him under his arm, one in each arm. He whistled at the horse, and the horse walked over very smartly.

Feng Yue placed the unfamiliar *ge’r* across the horse’s back, holding the reins in one hand and holding Wei Xiaofeng in the other, and walked back.

Wei Xiaofeng lay on his shoulder, frowning tightly, humming and mumbling, “It hurts…”

Feng Yue felt both heartache and anger when he heard this. “Since you’re afraid of pain, don’t go through fire and water for those unimportant people. There are many heartless people. When you’re in pain, will they be grateful to you even a little?”

After saying that, Feng Yue felt guilty.

If he hadn’t been so headstrong back then, he wouldn’t have been so stupid as to accompany him to exile in that cold and bitter place, a journey that lasted ten years.

Ten years, that was the best time of his life.

“Xiaofeng, I’m sorry, I…” Feng Yue choked up, speechless. After a long time, thousands of words turned into a long sigh that dissipated in the night wind in an instant, leaving only the rhythmic slow steps of the horse’s hooves, crushing the white frost covering the ground in November.

Outside the *wangfu*, Butler Zhao and Eunuch Yuan each held a lantern, looking to the end of the street illuminated by the bright lights, eagerly waiting.

“Why hasn’t the *wangye* returned to the *fu* at this hour? Eunuch Yuan, should we send someone out to look for him?”

“Don’t worry, under the feet of the Son of Heaven in the imperial city, the *wangye* is of noble birth and has the protection of the dragon’s aura. Nothing will happen.”

Butler Zhao nodded thoughtfully, looking at Eunuch Yuan’s calm appearance. “Eunuch Yuan is right, you are indeed more experienced.”

After waiting for about two more quarters of an hour, they finally saw their *wangye* return!

They saw him holding a dirty little thing in his arms, and a bloody person on the horse’s back.

Butler Zhao and Eunuch Yuan exchanged glances, and without asking anything, quickly went up to greet him. Eunuch Yuan wanted to reach out to take Wei Xiaofeng, but Feng Yue dodged him.

“Butler Zhao, take the person on the horse’s back to the Snowdrift Residence in the North Garden, and find a tight-lipped maid to take care of him.”

Butler Zhao nodded busily, carefully helping the dying *ge’r* off the horse.

“Eunuch Yuan, also, go to the city and ‘invite’ the best doctor here, keep it secret, and do it neatly.”

“This old servant understands.” Eunuch Yuan made a bow. After Feng Yue carried the person into the house, Eunuch Yuan gave an order: “Did you hear? Invite the best doctor in the city here, and be quick.”

Several elusive figures in the shadows silently disappeared into the night.

The best doctor in the city was none other than Chu Lingqiao of the Huichun Hall. He was currently in the Peach Blossom Residence in his dreams, brewing wine and discussing Taoism with immortals, enjoying himself immensely. Just as he felt he was about to attain enlightenment, he was lifted off the bed, and in an instant, the sky fell and the earth cracked.

Chu Lingqiao barely managed to open his eyes a slit and saw a person in night clothes wearing a ghost mask. He didn’t even bother to shout.

“Brother, don’t say anything, listen to me first. You can put away your swords. I’ll cooperate.” Quick battle, quick resolution, he could still get a nap when he returned.

“Get dressed.”

Chu Lingqiao neatly took the robe hanging on the wooden rack and put it on. Then, these people blindfolded him with a piece of black cloth, and carried him away, he didn’t know where.

He only felt that he had arrived in an indoor place with dim candlelight. The black cloth was removed from his eyes, and he closed his eyes tightly, gradually seeing the scene in front of him clearly.

On the bed behind the beaded curtain sat a tall and slender man. Even from the vague outline, he could see the extraordinary noble aura, not a common person.

“Doctor Chu, please come in.”

The voice from behind the curtain was clear and deep, as if it could penetrate people’s hearts and souls. Chu Lingqiao’s body trembled, and he came back to his senses, respectfully made a bow, and carefully lifted the beaded curtain to come to the bedside.

The man wore a delicate silver mask on his face, which made people’s imagination run wild. With such majesty and nobility, what kind of handsome and extraordinary face was under that mask?

The man stood up and stood aside, so that he could take the pulse and examine the injuries of the person on the bed.

Chu Lingqiao regained his senses, put down the medicine box on his shoulder, and looked at the person on the bed. It turned out to be a handsome young *ge’r*!

This *ge’r*’s eyebrows and eyes were thick and handsome, unlike ordinary *ge’r*’s who were weak. The red mole was also uniquely located on his left earlobe. At first glance, he looked like a more delicate man.

Seeing that his complexion was a little pale, but his demeanor and spirit were good, and after taking his pulse, he was as lively as a dragon and a tiger, but he was just too tired.

“This *langjun* can rest assured, your *fu lang* is very well, he will be fine after a sleep. When he wakes up, give him more good things to eat.”

Who knew that the icy man smiled gently, “Okay.”

Chu Lingqiao couldn’t help but sigh, “Clearly, he is such an icy person, but he only smiles when he hears that his beloved is safe and sound. This little *ge’r* is really lucky.”

He only sighed that Wei Xiaofeng was lucky, but he didn’t know the reasons. Ten years of life and death together, only to exchange for a sincere heart.

“Many blisters on his feet are broken, please take a look at them as well.”

“Uh… If *langjun* doesn’t mind, then I’ll take a look.”

“I don’t mind, you look.”

After taking a look, Chu Lingqiao couldn’t help but gasp. He didn’t know what kind of suffering he had endured or how many roads he had walked. A pair of feet were worn out like this, the blisters were squeezed and the skin turned over and stuck together, all covered in blood.

Chu Lingqiao tried to move as gently as possible, neatly treated the wounds one by one and applied medicine, and bandaged both feet.

After bandaging, Chu Lingqiao breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: “The medicine is applied, then I…”

“There is another one, almost dead, please take a look at him, Doctor Chu.”

Chu Lingqiao felt a burst of heart ache. “You… What did you say?” He knew it wasn’t that simple! His nap had finally turned into a bubble.

“Someone, take Doctor Chu over.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the guard who had carried him in walked in, tied the black cloth over his eyes tightly, and his head tightened as well, feeling dizzy as he was carried away.

There was no reasoning with them at all!

Before seeing the second patient, he thought that almost dead was an exaggeration. At first glance, he was breathing weakly, really no different from a dying person.

Chu Lingqiao was speechless. Knowing that this *ge’r* was about to die, they should have saved him first! But they dragged it out for so long, and now he was just hanging on by a thread.

“Fortunately, you vomited the blood stasis in your heart yourself before, otherwise even immortals would have difficulty saving you now!”

Although he complained unhappily, he still adhered to the benevolence of a doctor and began to apply acupuncture to Sang Cai.

“Whether you can live or not depends on your own fate.”

It wasn’t until dawn that Chu Lingqiao packed up his medicine box, prescribed a prescription, and was sent back blindfolded.

The pharmacy was already busy opening for business at this time. Chu Lingqiao yawned, his eyes were dark and blue, and the low air pressure made even the medicine-picking apprentice in the store dare not step forward to greet him.

Feng Yue guarded Wei Xiaofeng all night. He had to enter the palace to meet the Emperor today. In the early morning, the maid sent hot water for him to wash and dress. Feng Yue recalled the doctor from last night and couldn’t help but ask: “What is the origin of that man surnamed Chu?”

Eunuch Yuan stood aside and replied: “There is no special origin, but he was enlightened at the age of two and has an extremely high talent for the art of medicine and numerology. He became self-taught. He traveled around in his early years, practicing medicine and helping the world, and only came to settle in the capital three years ago, opening the Huichun Hall.”

After a moment of silence, Eunuch Yuan added: “Is there any problem with this person?”

Feng Yue was stunned for a moment before reacting: “No problem for now. Tell them not to prepare breakfast, I will enter the palace to have breakfast with the Empress Dowager, and… if that Wei Fifth Brother wakes up, take good care of him. Whatever he wants, give it to him.”

“Yes.”

When Feng Yue went out, he put on a smoky gray fox fur cloak. It was already cold in the capital at the end of November, and it had even snowed a little in the second half of the night, with a thin layer of white crystals covering the roof tiles.

The cool morning breeze, mixed with the breath of wind and snow, came head-on, making people feel a little more awake.

Feng Yue had just recovered from a serious injury, and his blood was deficient. Unlike his wildness on the border, he had become more particular these days.

If he still wanted to grow old with Xiaofeng in this life, he should cherish his body.

He leaned on the soft couch in the carriage, closed his eyes and rested, when suddenly a blurred face flashed through his mind.

In his previous life, when Feng Chao and Feng Xiao competed for power, Feng Xiao suffered a lot of hardship. Feng Xiao really hated him to the bone. Not long after he ascended the throne, he confiscated Feng Chao’s family and exterminated his clan. Feng Chao committed suicide, and his body was thrown in the wilderness, and no one dared to collect it.

One day, Empress Chen called him to the Buddhist hall, looking at him with a face of pity, and asked him to quietly collect Feng Chao’s body, saying that he was still a member of the royal family and should not have ended up like this.

At that time, he never thought that the rabbit would be slaughtered after it was hunted, and the bow would be put away when all the birds were gone. Who was the Empress Dowager feeling sorry for?

He complained inwardly, but still obediently took someone to personally collect the body of this eldest brother.

When he arrived, someone was already there.

The man was dressed in white clothes like snow, with a white forehead band, lighting rhinoceros soul incense on the side. He solemnly collected the bones of the eldest brother, and chanted in a low voice: “Wandering soul, where do you stay, three souls descend early, seven spirits come, I come to serve, and carefully collect.”

That’s right…

Feng Yue slowly opened his eyes, a trace of surprise appeared in his clear eyes. Wasn’t that person Chu Lingqiao?

How would he know the eldest brother?

Feng Yue’s hairs stood on end. One was a commoner, and the other was a noble member of the royal family with the potential to be the future crown prince. They were obviously unrelated.

He thought about it all the way but couldn’t figure it out. It wasn’t until he entered Phoenix Cloud Palace that Empress Chen was waiting for him to have breakfast together. Looking at the Empress Dowager’s kind and gentle smile, the troubles in Feng Yue’s heart disappeared with the wind.

Phoenix Cloud Palace had a heated underground dragon, and it was warm as soon as you entered the house. The maid stepped forward to take off Feng Yue’s fox fur cloak and hung it on the wooden rack.

Empress Chen dismissed all the maids, leaving only the mother and son to have breakfast at the table.

Usually, the Empress Dowager would keep two maids to serve them during meals. Feng Yue felt that Empress Chen had some private words to say, so he didn’t worry and ate breakfast peacefully, waiting for the Empress Dowager to open her mouth.

“Your imperial grandmother’s seventieth birthday is approaching. Now that four provinces have been recovered and the country is safe, your father means to hold a grand celebration and have a good time with the whole country.”

Feng Yue smiled lightly, “This is a good thing!”

Empress Chen’s expression stiffened for a moment, and she smiled, “Yes, haven’t you thought about anything else?”

“Huh?”

“Your second brother…”

Feng Yue’s heart sank, and he immediately understood the deep meaning, “Does Father want to take advantage of the imperial grandmother’s birthday to pardon the second brother’s crimes and bring him back to the palace?”

“That’s right.”

“Then, has the second brother thought of Father’s intention?”

“Your second brother is a smart man, he should have thought of it.”

After hearing this, Feng Yue clenched his fists and couldn’t help but laugh mockingly, “Yes, he should have thought of it long ago!”

That Feng Xiao had previously instigated him in the open and in secret to turn against Father and become enemies, and insisted on taking him back to the palace by force with meritorious service!

Empress Chen looked at him suspiciously, “Yue’er, what’s wrong with you?”

Feng Yue secretly took a breath and smiled nonchalantly, “Nothing.”

“Recently, your father has frequently summoned you to the palace to discuss state affairs with him, what do you think?”

“After all, Father is the ruler of a country, thoughtful and far-sighted, which is beyond what the child can see.”
