[Gossip System + Mind-Reading + Laid-back Ascent]Chu Liuzheng transmigrated into an alternate ancient era. Forced by circumstances, she entered the Sheng Kingdom's imperial palace. She unexpect...
Chapter 394 Don’t believe me?
In the tent, Feng Jing was sleeping soundly wrapped in a quilt and didn't hear Chu Liuzheng calling him at all.
He was waiting to examine the Grand Tutor and Marquis Wen Zhao yesterday, and didn't go to bed until almost the hour of Yin. He was so sleepy that he walked into the wrong tent and was dragged out by Lu Fei.
Chu Liuzheng also guessed that he must have slept very late last night. After calling out to Feng Jing a few times but hearing no response, he knew that he was still sleeping soundly.
If it were someone else, Chu Liuzheng would have gone in and called for help. But Doctor Feng had a terrible reputation, and with Lu Fei as a precedent, Chu Liuzheng really didn't want to be poisoned by the cruel doctor so early in the morning.
She thought about it and decided to wait outside. What if Feng Jing woke up on his own?
You can eat melons in the system and won’t be bored.
"Sister, what are you doing standing here?" Chen Xing heard a familiar voice and walked over from behind the tent holding a basin. It was indeed Chu Liuzheng.
The tent where Siyue was recuperating was just behind Feng Jing's tent. Chu Liuzheng slapped her forehead and wondered why she had forgotten in such a hurry. She could have gone to the tent behind and sat and waited, and she could have also visited Siyue.
She said, "I have something to ask Doctor Feng."
Chen Xing came over and took her arm with a smile. "Doctor Feng didn't go to bed until midnight last night. There was such a loud thunder last night that one of the tents next to his caught fire, but he didn't wake up. I'm afraid you'll have to wait for him to wake up. Why don't you come over to our place and stay for a while?"
Chu Liuzheng, who was also sound asleep last night and didn't even know the tent was on fire: "..."
"Okay." She nodded, glanced around, held an umbrella for Chen Xing, accompanied him to get some hot water, and returned to Si Yue's tent where he was recuperating.
Chen Xing poured her a cup of hot water and asked curiously, "Sister, what's the urgent matter that brought you to see Doctor Feng?"
"I had a nightmare this morning, halfway through my sleep, about the Grand Tutor and Marquis Wen Zhao. I'm a little uneasy," Chu Liuzheng lied, cup in hand. "I thought of coming to see Doctor Feng to ask about them."
"Sister, you can ask me." Chen Xing wrung out the hot handkerchief and handed it to Siyue. "Siyue fell asleep yesterday, so I went out to check on the situation. When the Grand Tutor and Marquis Wen Zhao were brought back, I was watching. I was also there when Doctor Feng examined them. I know everything."
Chu Liuzheng hurriedly asked, "How are they? What did Doctor Feng say?"
"Their hair and beards are gone." Thinking of how the two looked last night, Chen Xing pursed his lips and suppressed a smile. "When they were sent back, they were wrapped in red flowery turbans, like two fleeing monks."
Chu Liuzheng imagined the scene and found it quite funny.
But that’s not the point!
Chen Xing said, "Doctor Feng said that they've been locked up for so long that it's normal for them to be a little weak. They'll recover after a while of recuperation. They don't have any other injuries, and even the Grand Tutor's previous injuries have healed."
Chu Liuzheng's heart skipped a beat when he heard this: "Dr. Feng didn't say anything else?"
"Anything else?" Chen Xing walked over and sat down, his voice lowered.
Chu Liuzheng glanced at Siyue, who was meditating on the bed, and lowered his voice, "Yin Lanci is so powerful in using Gu, her subordinates should also know about it. Didn't they also use Gu on the Grand Tutor and Marquis Wen Zhao?"
"No." Chen Xing shook his head. "Ping Xuan asked the Grand Tutor to tell him that Yin Lanci had originally planned to use the Heart-Bewitching Gu on him, but because the Gu hadn't developed yet, he postponed the procedure. The Grand Tutor and his men were only tortured in the water dungeon; they weren't poisoned."
"Ping Xuan is not trustworthy." Chu Liuzheng pursed his lips, "What if?"
Chen Xing hugged her arm and looked at her: "Sister, are you so worried because of that nightmare?"
"That's right." Chu Liuzheng continued to make up his story. "I dreamt that the Grand Tutor and Marquis Wen Zhao were lying in a pile of poisonous insects, their bodies covered in blood. It was horrifying."
Chen Xing knew that Chu Liuzheng was timid, and thought that she had such a nightmare probably because she had been hearing about this and that poisonous insect recently, and was accidentally bitten by a shadow-chasing insect, which frightened her. She was probably dreaming about it at night because of what she thought about during the day.
She spoke to comfort him, "Don't worry, sister. If you're worried, wait until Doctor Feng wakes up and ask him to check on the Grand Tutor and Marquis Wen Zhao."
Chu Liuzheng hummed softly and sighed, "It would be great if Abbot Jiang woke up."
Feng Jing specializes in medical poisons and has only a passing knowledge of poisonous insects. Naturally, he cannot compare to Jiang Yao, who is a professional in poisoning.
"Although Abbot Jiang hasn't woken up, Tong Niang also helped check on him last night. He should be fine. Sister, don't worry so much." Chen Xing leaned on her shoulder, his nose twitching slightly. "Did you just eat the mixed noodles made by Old Wu?"
【Does it smell so strong? 】
Chu Liuzheng had just come to find Feng Jing in a hurry, and he indeed forgot to rinse his mouth with water after eating the noodles.
Although the topic change was very abrupt, she also appreciated Chen Xing's kindness and glanced at her with lowered eyes: "Are you hungry?"
"Yeah." Chen Xing smiled and rubbed her shoulder, "I have to protect Miyue and can't leave."
Chu Liuzheng raised his hand and rubbed her head: "Okay, you take good care of Siyue, I'll ask the kitchen to make it and send it over."
"Thank you, sister." Chen Xing let go of her and watched her walk out of the tent.
The rain was still falling, but it was getting lighter and lighter.
It was dripping and dripping, and the clouds cleared and the rain stopped around noon.
Round raindrops dripped from the upturned tips of the leaves, and the sun shone down warmly, creating a rainbow on the puddles in the mud.
Feng Jing walked out of the tent, stretching himself, hugging his arms to stretch his muscles, doing some chest expansion exercises, and turning his waist.
While he was doing it, a man suddenly jumped out from beside the tent, scaring him.
"Why are you walking so quietly?"
Chen Xing curled her lips. She was a secret guard. If a secret guard made any sound when walking, she would have died eight hundred times already.
Feng Jing rubbed his frightened chest and asked, "What's wrong?"
Chen Xing said, "Sister Liu Zheng came looking for you this morning. She was very anxious and called you several times but you didn't wake up."
"Looking for me?" Feng Jing scratched his ears. How come he didn't hear anything being called?
He asked, "What does she want from me?"
"Let her tell you herself." Chen Xing was in a hurry to boil medicine for Si Yue and had no time to chat with him here.
Feng Jing yawned and asked, "Where is she now?"
Chen Xing looked up at the sky and guessed, "At this time, he should be waiting in the main tent."
"Okay, I'll go find her." Feng Jing went back to the tent to grab some snacks for dinner, but after searching for a long time, he only found a small bag of peanuts. He then remembered that Chu Liuzheng had given away all his snacks and said he would buy some for him when he got to the city.
Feng Jing had no choice but to grab two handfuls of peanuts and go to the main tent to look for someone.
In the main tent, Chu Liuzheng had just added tea to Xiao Jingfan's cup when he turned around and saw a familiar head popping out of the tent door.
Feng Jing threw a peanut into his mouth and waved at her with a smile.
Chu Liuzheng looked at Xiao Jingfan and saw that he was staring at the map in a daze, so he walked out with light steps.
"I heard from Chen Xing that you came to see me this morning." Feng Jing said while peeling peanuts, "What's the matter?"
Chu Liuzheng chose to make a long story short, brushing aside his nightmare and focusing on asking him to examine the health of the Grand Tutor and Marquis Wen Zhao again.
"Are you doubting my medical skills?" Feng Jing narrowed his eyes slightly. "Don't you believe me?"
