Chapter Eighty-Six: Puppet Doll



Feng Jin's menacing aura sent a chill down Su Yu's spine. He instinctively took a step back and forced a smile: "You... how did you find me?"

Feng Jin did not reply, but lowered her eyes slightly, her face still expressionless. She remained silent for as long as Su Yu remained silent.

"It's too cold here, shall we go back first?" Su Yu carefully observed Feng Jin's expression, but she didn't see any reaction from her.

In the end, he had no choice but to lead her forward, step by step.

The two sides walked in unison, one in front of the other.

Meanwhile, Feng Jin followed closely behind Su Yu from beginning to end, her posture truly resembling that of a puppet being controlled by someone.

Under the strange looks of passersby on the street, they walked hand in hand all the way to the Crown Prince's residence.

Inside the main hall, Feng Jin occupied Su Yu's seat alone. Her red brocade robe covered her feet, and she leaned back on the seat, staring fixedly ahead. Her eyes were cold and empty, and she did not even notice the man who was so close to her.

Su Yu stood to the side, her eyes fixed on Feng Jin's face, seemingly patiently waiting for that pretty face to regain its radiance, or for a hint of joy or anger, even if only for a moment.

But in the end, he was disappointed. Over the past few days, Feng Jin seemed to have completely lost his soul. Even if he fell and hurt himself while walking, he wouldn't utter a sound. Apart from eating and sleeping normally, he spent almost all his time in a daze.

Thinking of this, Su Yu sighed deeply. Just as he was about to turn and leave, a heavy thud sounded in his ear. He turned around in surprise and saw that Feng Jin had fallen onto the table, with a half-eaten osmanthus cake still in her mouth.

His appearance was exactly like that of a refugee fleeing famine, which made Su Yu's heart tremble. After hesitating for a long time, she cried out in alarm, "Someone! Someone! Quickly bring up all the food from the kitchen!"

Su Yu's tone was filled with violent panic, which terrified the servants present. They responded with "Yes" and disappeared in an instant.

Originally, Su Yu was seen as gentle and refined, as bright as the moon. He was always kind and gentle, and even treated his lowly maids with great affection.

At the age of fourteen, Su Yu excelled in poetry, calligraphy, painting, and literature, winning the favor of renowned scholars of classical studies. This prodigy, with his extraordinary talent and noble royal lineage, was officially chosen as the crown prince at the age of fifteen. From then on, he became the most admired son of heaven in Jiang Lan Kingdom and a source of pride for the royal family.

******************************

After a long while, the little eunuch beside him kept glancing at Feng Jin. He thought the Crown Prince must have gone mad. Ever since he returned from the Northern You Kingdom that day, he had been busy running around for a cold, wooden figure. Why was he letting her sit in the main hall to have a meal now? Even His Highness the Crown Prince himself had never done such a thing.

Watching Feng Jin finish her meal and finally fall into a deep sleep, Su Yu rested her chin on her hands, gazing thoughtfully at the sleeping woman on the bed, her thoughts gradually drifting away from her mind.

The reason why Feng Jin's illness has lasted so long without improvement is very likely because this place is not suitable. Perhaps, 'we should try a change of environment...'

Thinking of this, he burst out of the door without hesitation and began searching the world for Feng Jin's favorite places and things. From Jiang Lan Kingdom to Bei You Kingdom, he didn't miss anything that was related to Feng Jin.

Finally, he heard that Feng Jin used to love looking at peach blossoms, so he spent a lot of money to buy a blooming peach grove from a place thousands of miles away.

Thanks to his meticulous care over the past few days, the back garden was finally filled with peach blossoms in the dead of winter.

He used all his tenderness in his life, just to win a smile from the beauty.
