Xuanyuan Qingtian only felt a pain in his neck, a stifling sensation coming from his chest, even his lungs were aching.
"You … "You …" He had no choice but to release Feng Yu and Dou Dou, and extend his hand to grab the big hand that Xuanyuan Zhan was holding onto his neck. Unfortunately, he couldn't open it with his current strength, and could only open his mouth and try to breathe.
Xuanyuan Qingtian's body was almost lifted up by the furious Xuanyuan Zhan, his feet could barely touch the ground. He was deeply aware that the man in front of him was really going to strangle him to death.
And Xuanyuan Qingtian obviously did not want to kill him. Even though his heart was currently filled with anger, he was still extremely calm, to the point that it was a little terrifying. His other hand grabbed onto Feng Yu and Dou Dou, tightly holding them in his embrace.
His fingers loosened for a bit and Xuanyuan Qingtian was finally able to breathe. His flushed face also recovered a bit, but he was still unable to get rid of the pain on his throat.
Xuanyuan Zhan looked at him with a condescending gaze, his expression cold and solemn like a cold wind.
"Next time, if you dare to hurt them, mother and son, don't blame me for not caring about my brotherly feelings!"
Xuanyuan Qingtian threw him onto the ground, causing Xuanyuan Qingtian's head to spin. Xuanyuan Zhan retracted his arms, tightly embraced Feng Yu and Dou Dou, and carried them towards Murong Zhi's residence.
"Clean up all these martial artists for me."
In the distance, he threw down these words, and his underlings immediately accepted his order. They drew their weapons and began to reap the lives of their enemies at an astonishing speed.
Feng Yu was being carried by Xuanyuan Zhan as they flew. Dou Dou, who was in his embrace, was obediently lying down, not screaming in pain or crying. She was so quiet that it caused people to be afraid.
They quickly arrived at Murong Zhi's house. Xuanyuan Zhan didn't say anything and directly ran into the backyard, placed them on the soft bed and started to examine their wounds.
Other than a few strands of hair being torn off, Feng Yu was unharmed. Dou Dou's palms and knees needed to be washed and treated with medicine. The only difference was that the finger marks on his neck were already suffused with a reddish-purple color.
Feng Yu's heart skipped a beat when she saw that cold and solemn look of terror once again appear in Xuanyuan Zhan's eyes. She sighed to herself that was really worried about him and Dou Dou saw it too, but she was not afraid.
"Don't worry, apply some medicine first. This king will immediately bring you all back to the house for Xue Leng to properly treat!"
Feng Yu nodded. Murong Zhi and the others quickly ran over, but when they saw the scene before them, they were slightly stunned, but they did not blame Feng Yu for taking the initiative to secretly run away.
With just a glance, Shangguan Yi could tell that they didn't have any life threatening feelings and he let out a breath of relief. He relaxed a little and turned around to see that his good friend's entire body was still brimming with an unrelenting hostility as he pulled him to the side.
"What did you do? You didn't really kill the crown prince in anger, did you?"
"Do you think that This King is such an impulsive person?"
Xuanyuan Zhan replied indifferently. Shangguan Yi also thought that he had asked a question that wasn't very wise, but he still wasn't very assured.
"You had better do something to the crown prince." Shangguan Yi glanced at Dou Dou's neck, "In this kind of situation, even I can't endure it."
Xuanyuan Zhan knew what Shangguan Yi was worried about, "Don't worry, he won't dare to complain to royal father, he definitely won't dare to reveal that he has recruited so many people from the martial arts world, so he can only swallow his anger."
"Then you will take revenge on something else, right? You must have revealed your true strength today, the crown prince knows that you are hard to deal with, so he will definitely discuss it with the Yan Fei. At that time, he will definitely deal with the mother and son duo."
"This king has said that I will protect them, but this time, I have still injured them. If Yan Fei has extended her hands for so long, I wouldn't mind letting her suffer the consequences."
knew that he was truly enraged this time. He, who was usually a man with a pure heart and few desires, and who was unwilling to be involved in the affairs of the imperial family, wanted to live a peaceful life.
Xuanyuan Zhan's means and strength far surpassed Xuanyuan Qingtian's by a lot. Xuanyuan Qingtian's perseverance was due to his inferiority complex, which transformed into suspicion and fear, which then turned into endless framing.
It was truly a tragedy for the Xiao Kingdom to have such an emperor.
After roughly changing Feng Yu and Dou Dou's clothes and treating their wounds, Xuanyuan Zhan immediately brought them back to the Battle King Manor and called for Xue Leng after they returned to the residence.
Xuanyuan Zhan told the two of them to lie down, and Xue Leng immediately appeared. Seeing Dou Dou's injuries, he frowned, but did not say much, and immediately opened the medicine chest to apply the medicine.
Xiao Wan stepped forward to help Dou Dou clean the dirt on his palms and knees, but Feng Yu insisted on doing it herself.
"My injury is not a big deal. I'm not that delicate either. It's just a few strands of hair that will grow out very soon." Pushing away the medicine Xue Leng had prepared for him, "I must personally come to see Dou Dou's injuries."
Faced with her insistence, the rest of them had no way to object, so Xue Leng immediately gave her the cleaning potion.
"Dou Dou, don't be afraid. Mother will be a bit gentler." Feng Yu coaxed Dou Dou, she felt that Dou Dou would not be so afraid if she said those words to him.
Dou Dou hissed and subconsciously wanted to retract his hand, but he was still strong enough to stop himself from doing so. A look of guilt flashed across Feng Yu's face, but at the same time, it revealed a look of appreciation.
Feng Yu continued to gently wipe away all the dirt and blood stains, and picked out the small pebbles that had embedded themselves into the wound. Dou Dou pursed his lips, mist appearing in his eyes, but he was strong enough to not let his tears fall.
Then, Xue Leng took out the healing ointment. Feng Yu still did it herself, cleaning her hands, and slowly rubbed the ointment open with the tip of her finger. Then, she wrapped it in white cotton cloth.
When she was young, he would often get injured because he practiced martial arts, so of course he wouldn't reveal any strange expressions. He would always act as if the one who was hurt wasn't him, and the Ning Fei felt that he was the one who was hurt, so every time he applied the medicine on his wounds, it would be like Feng Yu was now.
As his thoughts fell into his memories, the Feng Yu in front of him merged with the Ning Fei, and then separated again.
After helping Dou Dou heal his wounds, Feng Yu hugged his small body, then let him lie down.
"Dou Dou, rest for a while. You are also tired, mother will accompany you here."
Dou Dou nodded his head and obediently closed his eyes. Feng Yu glanced at the rest of the people in the room and then sensibly retreated aside from the room.
Feng Yu frowned as she looked at him, then lowered her voice and said in a dissatisfied tone, "Why aren't you going out?"
"Your wound hasn't been treated yet."
Feng Yu's frown deepened as she stood up and pushed aside, not wanting to let her words disturb Dou Dou.
"I told you that my wound is fine, so I don't need to apply medicine. Do you not understand what I'm saying?"
Looking at her energetic look, Xuanyuan Zhan felt like he had returned back to the fierceness of a wild cat. A smile appeared in the depths of his eyes, but he provoked her with his mouth, "Are you afraid of pain?"
"Who would be afraid of pain!" Feng Yu was so agitated by his words that she almost couldn't control herself. However, she quickly raised her eyebrows and raised her chin. "You must be doing this on purpose. I'm not going to take advantage of you."
Xuanyuan Zhan didn't say anything and only took out a medicine bottle. He unscrewed it and brushed his hair with his fingers.
"When did you get this bottle of medicine in your hands?" Feng Yu was completely unaware of this problem. Xuanyuan Zhan did not want to explain, so he took a step forward and insisted on poking at her hair.
Facing such a domineering and stubborn look from him, Feng Yu resisted intensely, but Xuanyuan Zhan didn't have the slightest bit of emotion at all. He only warned her in a low voice, "Yu Er, if you continue to be like this, Dou Dou will not be able to fall asleep from the noise."
"Whose fault is this?!" Feng Yu retorted, but because of Dou Dou's softening, she reached for the medicine bottle. "I'll do it myself."
"You can't see where the wound is." Xuanyuan Zhan persisted, but Feng Yu was completely helpless this time, allowing him to gently separate her hair and apply the medicine on the spot where her hair had swollen due to the pulling.
The medicine was very cool, and wouldn't hurt even if you smeared it over one's head. Feng Yu also felt that he had deliberately lightened her actions, and the complicated feelings in her heart surged up to attack her, causing her to be unable to resist opening her mouth to say something that shocked Xuanyuan Zhan.
"I am not Battle Princess, I am someone else." Feng Yu said in a low voice, "I just happen to have this face and even called it by the name of Feng Yu."
Xuanyuan Zhan was slightly taken aback, but his hands did not stop moving.
"What do you want to say, Yu Er?"
"I just want to say that you don't need to treat me like the princess whose wife was missing for six years and treat me like this … I and Dou Dou are just orphans and widows. " Feng Yu bit her lips.
"Isn't all of this too much of a coincidence? With the name Feng Yu and your appearance, would there be two people in this world with the same name and appearance?" Xuanyuan Zhan said lightly.
Xuanyuan Zhan once again swept an indifferent glance over her, his gaze carrying the same unwavering aura.
"There are only two kinds of situations like this. One is when you are deceiving This King, and you did not want to be related to This King as an excuse. The other is when you intentionally got close to This King and used your appearance to achieve some goal. The rejection of This King has always been just a method to capture This King."
This sentence caused Feng Yu to explode. What? Aren't you saying that she's lying? The gaze she used to look at Xuanyuan Zhan was filled with disdain.
"Prince, you really like to put gold on your face, do you know how big your face is?"
The word "you" from Feng Yu caused Xuanyuan Zhan to raise his eyebrows, tasting the gunpowder between her lips that was full of mockery.
Feng Yu snorted coldly as she narrowed her eyes and continued mocking him.
I've been wanting to leave for so long, the farther the better, I can't wait to see you, I don't even want to see a single strand of hair. Look at what you've done, captured us two again and again, and even made people look at us. Feng Yu snorted angrily. "You still say that I wanted to capture him but gave up. I saw you desperately pulling us, mother and son, in an attempt to win the favor of His Majesty the Emperor."
This sentence poked to a place Xuanyuan Zhan really didn't want to hear, a sharp glint flashed past his eyes. Feng Yu frowned and retreated a few steps, after seeing his explosive fighting strength, she didn't want his hand to bruise her neck.
