Chapter 448: No Talking While Eating

When Granny Wang saw Feng Ling standing there, she quietly scanned her entire body and said to her with a knowing smile, “Madam, Young Master asked me to prepare some light porridge for you. I thought that you would wake up at this time, so I brought it over for you.”

Facing the smile on Granny Wang’s face, Feng Ling actually looked away in embarrassment. She pointed at the table and said, “Put it down.”

“Okay.”

After Granny Wang put down the porridge and side dishes, she left.

Feng Ling had just sat down when the king strode in.

When he saw Feng Ling sitting down, he hissed softly and quickly said, “Little Ling’er, don’t sit first.”

After saying that, he turned to someone waiting outside the door and said, “Go get the cushion in the carriage.”

That person responded and left.

Feng Ling froze and looked at him with bright eyes.

The king waited for the person outside to bring the cushion over before walking over. He placed the cushion on the stool behind her and said seriously, “It’s probably better for you to sit on this.”

Feng Ling lowered her eyes and thought fiercely: ‘I wonder who caused my discomfort!’

At this moment, the king sat beside her and held her hand. “If you’re not feeling well, we can leave later.”

After saying that, he didn’t let go of her hand. His palm was warm and his eyes were scorching as he looked at her.

Feng Ling felt shy for no reason. She wanted to go back early and check out the dark room in Feng Lan’s residence, so she said, “We’ll leave after lunch.”

“Okay.” Only then did the king let go of her hand. However, he took the chopsticks from her hand.

When Feng Ling looked at him in surprise, he curled his lips and said, “I’ll feed you.”

“…”

…

When the carriage returned to the capital, it was already night.

The king sent Feng Ling to her bedchamber. When they alighted, he said to her, “If you discover anything, tell me. I’ll handle these things.”

Feng Ling nodded at him and alighted from the carriage.

After the carriage left, Feng Ling walked into the bedchamber and said to one of the maidservants, “Call Lan’er over to eat with me.”

“Yes, Priestess.”

When Feng Lan arrived, Feng Ling was sitting there playing the zither.

When she heard the zither melody, Feng Lan stopped for two seconds before continuing to walk towards her.

“Sister, why did you suddenly decide to play the zither?”

“I happen to be in the mood tonight.”

After Feng Ling finished speaking, she continued playing the zither. The sound of the zither was pleasant to the ears.

At this moment, a maidservant covered her waist and was helped in by another maidservant.

Seeing this, Feng Ling asked worriedly, “What’s wrong with Xiao Cui?”

“Priestess, Xiao Cui accidentally sprained her waist just now. She came to beg you to give her some ointment.”

Feng Ling thought for a while and said, “You seem to be in a lot of pain. It’s going to take a while to prepare the ointment. Why don’t I treat you with the Phoenix Zither?”

With that, she prepared to play the Phoenix Zither.

“Sister, you can’t.” Realizing that she had been too anxious, Feng Lan quickly added, “Xiao Cui only had a minor sprain. Using the Phoenix Zither is a little overreaching.”

“How could that be?” Feng Ling said to her. “The Phoenix Zither is meant to cure a person. Since Xiao Cui is in so much pain, using the Phoenix Zither to cure her is the best and fastest method.”

Xiao Cui was extremely touched. Wanting Feng Ling to cure her with the Phoenix Zither, she immediately revealed an even more painful expression.

Feng Ling gave Xiao Cui a thumbs up in her heart and started playing the Phoenix Zither.

Feng Lan couldn’t stand the sound of the Phoenix Zither the most now. When she heard the melody, the Black Devil in her heart couldn’t help but feel break free.

However, the current situation didn’t allow her to object. She could only use all her effort to suppress the black aura in her heart and not let it leak out at all.

Feng Ling was paying attention to Feng Lan’s reaction at all times. When she saw her hand subconsciously clench the dress by her side, she snorted coldly in her heart and was about to quietly change the tune.

However, at this moment, the two maidservants exclaimed in unison.

Feng Lan abruptly came back to her senses.

Feng Ling could only stop and ask, “What’s wrong?”

Xiao Cui pointed at the rabbit that had run here at some point. “Priestess, look. The rabbit of the Guardian ran in.”

When Feng Lan saw the rabbit, her face lit up. She walked over and picked it up. As she caressed its head, she asked, “Xiao Bai, why did you come to Sister’s bedchamber? Can you find the way after I brought you here last time? You’re really smart.”

After saying this, she even looked at Feng Ling and asked her, “Sister, do you think my Xiao Bai is very smart?”

Feng Ling looked at the rabbit and nodded. She waved at her. “Let me carry the rabbit.”

Feng Lan quickly carried the rabbit over to Feng Ling.

Feng Ling took the rabbit and stroked its head twice. A trace of red light instantly entered the rabbit’s body. This rabbit actually didn’t have any abnormalities.

When she sensed this, a glint flashed across Feng Ling’s eyes, and she guessed that this was probably caused by that damnable rule again.

In any case, she couldn’t touch Feng Lan or find any evidence against her.

At the thought of this, Feng Ling lowered her eyes to conceal the ruthlessness in them. She placed the rabbit on the ground and stood up. “Let’s go eat first.”

“Sure, Sister.”

Feng Lan came over and hugged the rabbit again, looking like she couldn’t bear to part with it.

The two of them had just sat down at the dining table when a maidservant quickly came in and reported, “Priestess, His Majesty is here.”

Feng Ling and Feng Lan stood up at the same time.

Feng Lan even asked in a puzzled tone, “Why is the king here at this time?”

Feng Ling glanced at her expression and casually guessed, “He might be here to tell me about the two demonic path people who appeared in Green River County.”

“Ah.” Feng Lan quickly turned around and asked in surprise, “There are actually people from the demonic path in Green River County? Have you dealt with them? These people are too arrogant. If you catch them, you’ve got to turn them into ashes.”

“You’re right. As long as it’s someone from the demonic path, I will reduce her to ashes.”

Just as Feng Ling finished speaking, she saw the king being led in by a maidservant.

Feng Lan quickly bowed to the king and said in a delicate voice, “Feng Lan pays her respects to you, Your Majesty.”

The king didn’t even bother to look at her. He walked up to Feng Ling and asked, “Have you eaten? After you’re done, let’s discuss what happened in Green River County.”

Feng Ling pointed at the dining table beside her. The food hadn’t been touched.

“We were just about to eat.”

After saying that, she subconsciously asked, “Have you eaten?”

“No.”

After saying that, the king walked towards the dining table. He didn’t have the slightest awareness of being a guest. After sitting on one side, he said, “Coincidentally, I’m also hungry. I’ll eat at your place tonight.”

Before Feng Ling could speak, Feng Lan immediately said, “Since the king wants to eat here, Sister, why don’t you let the chef cook a few more dishes?”

Feng Ling glanced at Feng Lan and nodded at the maidservants waiting there.

The maidservants left.

After the three of them sat down, Feng Ling didn’t intend to speak. Neither did the king. However, Feng Lan seemed to have just realized something and said, “Why is Sister’s food so light in flavor tonight? I remember that you like to eat braised pork ribs and boiled meat slices, right?”

Before Feng Ling could speak, the king glanced at her coldly and said in a low voice, “Don’t talk while eating. As the priestess’s guardian, haven’t you learned this?”

Feng Lan hadn’t expected the king to say such a thing at all. Her face turned red.

She quickly lowered her eyes and stopped talking.

At this moment, Feng Ling glanced at Feng Lan and was about to retract her gaze when she saw the king placing a piece of food in her bowl.

Feng Ling: “…”

The black aura in Feng Lan’s heart almost exploded. She gritted her teeth and thought, ‘When she’s gone, I’ll definitely charm you until you feed me!’

The meal ended in a quiet and slightly oppressive atmosphere. Seeing that Feng Lan and the king were both here, Feng Ling wondered if she should take the opportunity to go to Feng Lan’s place to take a look.

However, before she could find an excuse to leave, the king seemed to have guessed her thoughts. He suddenly said to Feng Lan, “As Little Ling’er’s guardian, you should also know how to play the zither?”

Feng Lan was delighted to hear this and quickly replied, “Yes, I often practice with Sister.”

“Very good. Then play a song for me.”

“Okay.”

Feng Ling looked up at the king and met his deep and wise eyes.

She suddenly had an illusion that he really knew what she was going to do.

“Sister, can I use your zither?”

Feng Ling came back to her senses and nodded. “The medicine I brewed is almost ready. You guys sit for a while. I’ll come after I take the medicine off the stove.”

“Okay.”

Feng Lan couldn’t wait for Feng Ling to leave at this time.

Feng Ling walked out of the door. When she reached the door, she subconsciously turned around to look at the king, who was sitting there domineeringly. Seeing that he had casually picked up a book that she had placed there and looked at it, the corners of Chu Luo’s lips curled up as she walked out.

After Feng Ling walked to the herbs refining room, she asked Phoenix to teleport her to Feng Lan’s bedchamber.

Feng Lan’s bedchamber looked very normal on the surface, filled with things that girls liked.

Feng Ling wasn’t in the mood to look at the things inside. She quickly walked into the inner room and scanned all the places.

At this moment, the small paper effigies she had placed with Feng Lan ran out from different places.

Feng Ling asked, “Where’s the dark room?”

A small paper effigy jumped to Feng Lan’s dressing table and tapped the bronze mirror with its small hand.

Feng Ling walked over and touched it for a while. At the same time, she used a trace of energy.

Indeed, the mirror suddenly became a barrier door.
