Chapter 148 - Putting Past Past Past
Hearing Duan Zhengchun's words, Ling Xiao smiled and said: "Looks like Prince Duan has finally broken free from Madam, to Prince Duan, it should be something worth being happy about."
However, Duan Zhengchun said with a bitter face: "Don't even mention it, Yu Er being strong is a good thing, but now, the Queen no longer cares about this king, and is actually feeling a little disappointed and down."
Hearing that, Ling Xiao smiled slightly, and did not say anymore, since this was their family matter, he could just tease them for a bit.
"Alright, then let's set off now. It's already been almost an hour, and by my calculations, it should be time for me to recover from my grief." With that said, Ling Xiao stood up from his chair.
"Alright, let's go. After dealing with the matters of the past, This King's heart is a little more at ease." Duan Zhengchun nodded and stood up to change into some unremarkable clothes.
After all, if they were to sneak out of the city, they would definitely be discovered.
This time, Duan Zhengchun did not walk through the main entrance, but through the side door. One must know that the side door was usually reserved for the reserve members, and would normally open during times of war. There would not be any residents living nearby, and only a few troops would stay here to train, so Duan Zhengchun was the safest and most low-key person to go through the side door.
After exiting the city gates, Ling Xiao led the way, the two of them quickly rushed to the scene.
After he dismounted, Ling Xiao walked forward a few steps and saw that Xiao Feng's hands were badly mutilated to the point that even the bones inside could be clearly identified. It seemed that he really did not stop at all.
Then, Ling Xiao looked to the side, only leaving behind some traces of blood on the ground. The corpse had disappeared, and from the looks of it, Xiao Feng had already buried Ah Zhu's body.
If I didn't know that you would stay by Ah Zhu's side, it would be difficult for me to find the place where Ah Zhu was buried just by looking around. " Seeing that, Ling Xiao spoke out.
Xiao Feng did not raise his head, and said with a hoarse and unpleasant voice. "In this world, no one else is allowed to disturb her."
"Lift your hand. The wound is too heavy. If you don't take care of it, you'll only be able to amputate after that." Ling Xiao nodded and said.
Hearing this, Xiao Feng remained indifferent, as if he did not care about his hands at all.
Seeing that, Ling Xiao could not help but raise his eyebrows, his voice suddenly becoming stern, "Could it be that Ah Zhu wishes to see you in such a despondent and despondent state in the future? Why did she pretend to be Duan Zhengchun to come to find you? It's all just to let you let go of the anger in your heart and go back and live a good life with her! "
"Do you remember what she said to you? I hope that I can go with you to a place no one knows of outside the Forbidden City to live a good life, but in the end, you still have an obsession in your heart and you've given up on this beautiful plan. Now, Ah Zhu has paid with her life for you, but what about you? Yet, you intend to be a living dead person without a soul here! "
Even though his tone was strict, it was from the bottom of Ling Xiao's heart. He did not wish for Xiao Feng to sink into the depths of his heart like this, this was not what he wanted nor was it the result that Ling Xiao wanted to see.
Maybe every word that Ling Xiao said was heartbreaking, and it fiercely smashed into Xiao Feng's heart, his originally listless eyes gradually lit up.
"Sect Master Ling, do you think that Ah Zhu did all of this for me?" Xiao Feng said while trembling, his eyes actually becoming moist again.
"What do you think? She and Duan Zhengchun have never met, and only used information to find out each other's appearances, thus disguising herself, she has never thought of protecting Duan Zhengchun, but since you knew about this matter, seeing you so angry, and thinking about you, it's fine if it's her own words or what she does, it's all for your own good, Xiao Feng, I hope you can consider it properly. " Ling Xiao said with a serious expression.
Hearing that, Xiao Feng's entire body started to tremble. He did not think of this point, he was only thinking about blaming himself, but he never thought of this point.
Behind the two of them, Duan Zhengchun watched silently, not caring about the fact that these two people called him by his real name. After all, this was not Dali, so not everyone would be polite and obedient to him.
At this moment, Duan Zhengchun's heart was also in turmoil. He never thought that Ah Zhu would ultimately choose a different man, and not his own father. He was more or less disappointed, but he had no reason to blame others, because he was the one who made a mistake in the beginning.
"So, what is Eldest Brother Xiao Feng prepared to do? Do you want to continue being depressed, or do you want to pull yourself together? " Ling Xiao knew that Xiao Feng's heart had become active once more, so he took the chance and asked.
"Sect Master Ling, I will pull you up. I will definitely not let down on Ah Zhu's good intentions again!" Xiao Feng turned his head and said to Ling Xiao with tears streaming down his face.
Seeing that, Ling Xiao nodded his head, and said: "Alright, first organize your emotions, I will help you treat your wound."
With that said, Ling Xiao brought the herbs he brought from Imperial City, as well as the bandages and kettle he had prepared in advance, and began to clean.
Only after completely cleaning the wounds did they see the exposed bones. The flesh on a few fingers had already been grinded off, and the muscles and bones were clearly visible. This was enough to prove that Xiao Feng's feelings for Ah Zhu were real.
As there were too many injuries, Ling Xiao had to squat down until his legs became sore before he could take care of it.
After tidying up the leftovers, Ling Xiao stood up, stretched out his hand and asked Xiao Feng: "Can you get up?"
Hearing that, Xiao Feng first tested it out, then he helplessly sighed, and placed his arm onto Ling Xiao's palm. He was barely able to stand up, but he could see both of his legs trembling non-stop, it should have been a posture that had been maintained for too long.
Just when Xiao Feng thought that Ling Xiao was going to bring him away, he saw Duan Zhengchun silently standing behind him.
Once again, he saw that familiar face. This time, Xiao Feng sized it up carefully and confirmed that it was the real Duan Zhengchun.
"What are you doing here!" It seemed as if he still had a very deep grudge towards Duan Zhengchun in his heart.
"Eldest Brother Xiao Feng, don't get too worked up yet. I brought you two here so that you can have a good chat." Seeing that, Ling Xiao extended his hand out to obstruct Xiao Feng, and said with a serious tone.
As a prince who was high up in the air, he had never seen such a disgusting and bloody scene. Especially the scene of Ling Xiao using a knife to cut off the rotten flesh on Xiao Feng's finger.
And it was through these few scenes that Duan Zhengchun learned about the deep feelings Xiao Feng had for Ah Zhu.
