Chapter 430: Is This Provoking Her?

430. Chapter 430: Is This Provoking Her?

Qingming Courtyard.

King Xuan early in the morning ordered someone to investigate Diwu Langu, to confirm she had no connection with his beloved, and only then did he stop having her investigated.

In the early afternoon.

King Xuan asked his subordinates.

Learning that Diwu Langu had not yet awakened, King Xuan frowned and asked, "What does the Manor Physician say?"

"The Manor Physician says it is normal."

His subordinate replied.

After answering.

He hesitated before reporting, "Lord, the Crown Prince's Consort went to the small kitchen earlier; she said she came to see how the medicine was being boiled. The Crown Prince had said no one was allowed near, so she couldn't get in…"

Does Feng An Nuan get to see how the medicine is boiled?

King Xuan, irritated, stood up and said, "Let's go take a look."

He stepped out of his own courtyard, realizing his behavior was somewhat improper, and thought better of it, so he turned back and let his subordinate go to see Diwu Langu.

Diwu Langu had already awakened, but she looked rather pale.

King Xuan did not return to Lixin Courtyard for the next several days.

He also did not see Diwu Langu again.

Until.

The night ten days later.

King Xuan finally saw her.

Feng Ye held a banquet to thank Diwu Langu, inviting King Xuan to join them for a meal.

They usually do not eat together.

Feng An Nuan also ate with them.

After sitting down for a short while.

Feng An Nuan toasted Diwu Langu with tea in place of wine.

Diwu Langu's wound had not fully healed, yet she chose to drink alcohol, and she used a large bowl.

King Xuan had never imagined that someone could be so like another person; his former beloved also liked to drink this way.

He couldn't hold back and said, "Diwu Langu, your wound isn't fully healed; you'd better drink less."

"Exactly, don't drink so much."

Feng Ye also disagreed with her drinking that much.

"Alright."

Diwu Langu pursed her lips, gave up the bowl of wine, and switched to drinking from a cup.

Feng An Nuan watched from the side without speaking.

After eating for a while.

After listening to their idle chatter for a few sentences, Feng An Nuan spoke up, "Miss Fifth, you're beautiful, your martial skill is decent, your drinking capacity seems good; there should be many who like you."

"There certainly are, but I'm not interested in them."

Diwu Langu set down her cup and replied to her.

I'm not interested in them.

You've taken a liking to Feng Ye, huh?

Feng An Nuan wanted to ask her, but decided not to.

She said calmly, "Our Feng family still has several fine young men; Miss Fifth, if you're willing, I could …"

"Do they know martial arts?"

Diwu Langu asked Feng An Nuan.

The Feng family are all civil officials; there are no martial artists among them—those who practice martial arts are servants.

Feng An Nuan was about to say yes.

Feng Ye interjected, "Our clan has no young martial artists; they all come from the literary …"

"Oh."

"I like men who know martial arts; in my heart, such men are more manly."

When Diwu Langu said this, she glanced at Feng Ye.

She was close to saying outright that the person she liked was Feng Ye.

She noticed the gaze she cast.

Feng Ye felt a surge of joy; she liked him!

Feng An Nuan: "……"

Bastard, is this provoking her?

King Xuan cleared his throat and said, "Alright, alright, eat quickly; stop idling, or the dishes will get cold and won't taste good."

Shi Lin learned of what happened here the next day.

Shi Lin was very pleased after seeing it.

Afternoon.

Shi Lin returned home with a bright smile.

Qiao Sheng couldn't help feeling curious: "Sir, why are you so happy today? Could it be that the Emperor is about to …"
