Suya

Li Xiruo and Li Wang talked and laughed all the way, chatting happily, Feng Chen walked behind slowly.

Finally entered the side hall of the Nei Ling Palace, it was already light, the maids on both sides of the corridor were blowing out the palace lanterns, when they saw King Li and Xi Ruo, they all knelt down and saluted.

After entering the main hall, Li Xiruo put down the suitcase and walked towards the inner room. Feng Chen opened his mouth, and just about to say something, he felt a sudden pull on the hem of his clothes on the right, almost pulling him down.

Naturally, with Feng Chen's skill, he would not fall down, but the incident happened suddenly, and the force pulling him was not small, which really made him flustered for a while.He stood firm and glared at the person on the lower right with his head down. Wang Li was sitting cross-legged at the table, blinking his big eyes and looking at him innocently.

What are you pretending to be innocent?Feng Chen cursed secretly.

Li Wang burst out laughing, then patted the cushion beside him, and said: "Sit down, Xi Ruo will be back soon."

Feng Chen gave him a cold look, and sat down at the table.

"Didn't I just pull you for a while, although it made you look a bit ugly, but no one saw it anyway, so don't worry about it." Li Wang poured a cup of tea, handed it to Feng Chen, and said helplessly: "You are as old as you are!" Yes, just like a child."

Obviously he was childishly jealous, but he still had the nerve to speak out against others, Feng Chen looked at the other party's young and mature appearance, and sneered.

"What are you laughing at?" Li Wang glanced at him.

"It's nothing."

"Hmph." Li Wang had a smug smile that saw through other people's thoughts: "Don't think that I don't know what you are thinking. Yes, I am indeed a child, but because I am a child, Xi Ruo will help me bathe every day , and told me stories, and hugged me to sleep, do you have this kind of treatment?"

Feng Chen slammed the cup on the table with a "bump".

"Feng Chen." Li Xiruo returned to the front hall at some point, and said rather displeasedly: "Be respectful to the monarch."

"He..." Feng Chen pointed at Li Wang, but saw that the other party instantly changed into a pitiful and harmless expression. Feng Chen knew that he was a dumb man eating coptis, and he couldn't explain it even if he wanted to Yes, he pointed at Li Wang with his finger hanging in the air, and then put it down feebly.

Feng Chen suppressed the anger in his heart, turned his head, and planned to ignore him.

Li Xiruo came over, holding some clothes in her arms.

"What is this for?" Feng Chen stretched out his hand and pinched the clothes, the texture was rough, it was very different from the silk clothes that the royal family usually wore, more like the linen clothes of ordinary civilians.

Li Xiruo spread out the clothes on the table, took out some of them and handed them to King Li, who took them and began to take off his coat.

Uh... what are these two doing...

Li Xiruo looked at his bewildered look, and explained: "I went to the mountains with Li Wang to gather herbs, and this suit is lighter."

"Picking herbal medicine? The monarch and the national teacher of the Li country picked the herbal medicine himself?" Feng Chen picked out his ears, feeling even more bewildered.

"King Li has been interested in practicing medicine since he was a child. There are special doctors in the palace to teach him. I just teach some things that I can't learn in books in my spare time. Herb picking is one of the parts."

Bathing and sleeping are not enough, and they also personally preached and taught karma to solve doubts, and they also collected herbs together... The veins on Feng Chen's forehead were throbbing.

Li Xiruo took off his coat, put the coarse clothes on the bottom shirt, and wrapped it with a short shirt which was not too thick.

King Xiaoli also quickly changed his clothes, but he pestered Feng Chen, insisting that he tie his wristbands for him.

Feng Chen looked at him fiercely for a while, and finally Li Xiruo said: "You can help King Li, I'll go prepare things."

Feng Chen stretched out his hand as appointed, grabbed Li Wang's paw, and wrapped cloth strips around it desperately, Li Wang yelled a few times, Li Xi Ruo sent a dissatisfied look, Feng Chen had to relax his strength.

"Are you so afraid of Xi Ruo?" Li Wang smiled maliciously.

"none of your business."

"Hahahahahaha... General Feng, you are so cute."

Feng Chen twitched his face and said: "But your mother's love, I'm fierce."

"Hahahahahaha..." Xiaoli Wang laughed even more happily.

After laughing for a long time, finally had enough, Xiaoli Wang wiped his tears, grinned and said to Feng Chen: "Actually, I was just teasing you. I have been bathing, dressing, eating and sleeping by myself since I was four years old. Xi Ruo Never treat me like a child."

Feng Chen was taken aback for a moment, then when he looked up, he saw "I'm just kidding you" on Wang Xiaoli's face, rushing up with anger.

"You kid..."

Feng Chen raised his hand, as if he was going to hit him, but unexpectedly, King Xiaoli suddenly covered his head with both hands, and cried loudly: "General Feng, I just don't cry out for pain in the future, don't hit me, don't hit me... Uuuuuuuuuuuuuu..." He cried like a sob, mournful and desolate, looking extremely weak and helpless, Feng Chen's face was covered with black lines.

"Feng Chen!" As expected, Li Xiruo ran over, pushed Feng Chen away, and took Li Wang's hand: "My lord, are you okay, where does it hurt, let me take a look."

"Hand...Hand hurts..." Xiaoli Wang continued to howl.

Li Xiruo raised Li Wang's somewhat red wrist, and rubbed it carefully.

Feng Chen scolded the sky and the earth in his heart, Li Wang is a bastard, he probably made the red color just now.

Seeing the faint smile in Li Wang's eyes, Feng Chen suddenly felt a little irritated for no reason, always felt... There are too many things between him and Li Xiruo.

He glanced at Li Wang coldly, got up, said "I'll go first" in a dispirited manner, and walked towards the door. While walking, he heard Xiao Li Wang, who was superb in acting, crying from behind: " Xi Ruo, did I make General Feng angry?"

Li Xiruo comforted: "It's not the fault of the lord, stop crying, lord, please apply some medicine first?"

Feng Chen stood outside the door, listening to Li Xiruo's voice, his heart felt empty.

He finally stopped and looked back into the hall, Li Xiruo just happened to look back at him, his eyes met each other, and each other's figures fell into the depths of each other's eyes.

Li Xiruo stood up: "Are you going back?"

"En." Feng Chen nodded.

"Really." Li Xiruo smiled lightly, but couldn't hide the faint look of loneliness in his eyes: "Be careful on the road."

Feng Chen opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but found that he didn't know what to say, finally just nodded, turned and left the hall.

Feng Chen returned to the inn very depressed, and before reaching the door, he saw Feng Xiao squatting on the ground with his head buried in his arms, as if he had fallen asleep.

Feng Chen stepped forward and patted his head, Feng Xiao suddenly jumped up and rubbed his head.

"Ah, General, are you finally back?"

"Why are you sleeping here?"

"Wait for you." Feng Xiao stretched his waist, and there was a creaking sound of knuckle friction: "I received a letter from the palace last night, I went to look for you, but you went out, and the door was locked. I was afraid that I would fall asleep when you came back, so I waited for you at the door so that I could give you the letter as soon as possible."

"Well, don't be so stupid in the future, just leave me a note, and I will find you myself."

Feng Xiao stuck out his tongue.

Feng Chen took the letter with one hand, and rubbed Feng Xiao's head desperately with the other. Feng Xiao dodged left and right, but in the end he couldn't escape the fate of being crumpled into a chicken coop.

The two entered the room and sat down at the table.

The content of the letter was very simple, but it made Feng Chen feel confused.

"This..." Feng Xiao took the letter over and read it again, feeling very puzzled: "Didn't it be said that the limit was seven days? Why is it so much earlier?"

"Someone must have told Feng He about my private contact with Li Xiruo. He has always been suspicious, and now he should be afraid that I have a second heart."

"Eleventh, it's already the ninth day of the ninth day, and there are only two days left. Is there time, General?"

"Time is not a problem, the problem is..." Feng Chen paused, and he swallowed back the words on his lips.

He suddenly hesitated.

He almost didn't think about it before, he seemed to instinctively want to protect Li Xiruo, but the truth is, he didn't know how much it would cost to do so, and most importantly, whether it was worth it, after all, he and Li Xiruo Xi Ruo only met twice. Although the two seemed to have known each other many years ago and had a close friendship, these were all just Li Xi Ruo's one-sided words. He didn't remember anything at all, and there were too many suspicious things in it. In case, I go through fire and water, and escape from death in exchange for deception...

Feng Chen didn't want to think about it anymore, he didn't want to doubt Li Xiruo, but he couldn't help but doubt.

"General." Feng Xiao interrupted Feng Chen's thoughts.

"Ok?"

"General, I've always wanted to ask you, what are you doing all the time running to the Imperial Teacher these two days?"

"It's nothing, the national teacher and I are old acquaintances, I'll go to see him, and check the situation of Liguo by the way."

"Oh, that's right." Feng Xiao scratched his head, as if he couldn't figure out when Feng Chen and Li Xiruo met.

Feng Chen said with a smile: "Seven years ago, when I met him, you didn't know where you were?" In fact, he himself didn't know whether they met at that time.

Seven years ago...Feng Xiao pouted while straightening his hair while counting with his fingers. He was seventeen this year, and he was ten years old seven years ago.

"I was still in my hometown."

"Well, there was no plague in Jinchuan Erzhou at that time, and the old man hadn't planned to throw me to die in that place where birds don't lay eggs."

"General, you should honor the late king as your father."

"Huh." Feng Chen curled his lips in disdain: "Old man, old man, return to father, pretending to be kind and filial."

The feudal state is established by martial arts, and the state is also prospered by martial arts, so martial arts have always been valued over culture, even when it comes to choosing an heir to the throne.

However, when it came to King Feng Cheng, the situation was quite unexpected.

The old King Feng loved his second son, Fengsi, who was Feng Chen's second elder brother, and wanted to make him the crown prince, but unfortunately, none of the four brothers of the Feng family was easy-going.

The boss, Feng Lin, has long been named Pingnan King, and his territory is in the affluent southern border. He has been quietly expanding his power in the past few years, and now he is already a dominant and ambitious overlord.

The second child has the backing of the king, and he is quite courageous. Although he is a literati who spends his days playing with words and has no military achievements, he is quite admired by the ministers in the court and his reputation is getting higher and higher day by day.

The third son, Feng Yao, is brave and good at fighting. He has already achieved outstanding military exploits at a young age and has a prominent reputation. On the contrary, he is handsome, intelligent and sharp, and many ministers in the court admire him.

But when it comes to who is the most eye-catching, Feng Chen is definitely the winner.
