Chapter 296 - Heartbroken as Feng Yuran Was Hurt (2/2)

“Tong’er, I’m in pain.” Feng Yuran smiled gently as he pulled Mo Xuetong’s hand towards her. His eyes were watery, making his expression extremely moving.

Angrily, Mo Xuetong knocked his hand away from her and asked coldly while pointing at his chest. “What is this?”

She never believed in the rumors outside.

He could feel the concern Mo Xuetong had for him and thus his bright eyes lit up more, flickering under the light as if they were light reflecting on pure water.

“Tong’er, someone stabbed me. It’s an a.s.sa.s.sination.” Feng Yuran nodded his head bitterly as if he were greatly wronged.

“Lie down properly.” Mo Xuetong pushed Feng Yuran away and sat upright so he could have the full s.p.a.ce to lie down. She then removed on one of the pillows behind him as she asked him angrily, “Did you really go and drink in the brothel?”

He was obviously being stabbed, and yet he spread the news that it was due to the collapse of the building.

“Please, Tong’er, I will never go and drink in a brothel! Someone tried to frame me. Come, look at me Tong’er, does this injury looks like it’s from a collapsed building! Come on, Tong’er, you must never believe in what they say about me as all sorts of people exist nowadays. You must believe in my character, Tong’er!” As if he had been greatly wronged, Feng Yuran exclaimed angrily. He was trying to pacify Mo Xuetong.

Mo Xuetong pursed her lips and ignored him!

He had to be the one who spread the news out as everyone was convinced of the incident at the brothel! Yet he still claimed otherwise!

“Who sent the a.s.sa.s.sin here? Why do you not want to tell the truth?” Mo Xuetong raised her head and frowned. He shouldn’t be hiding the a.s.sa.s.sination as everyone was injured, with his injury being the worst. As long as Emperor Zongwen saw this wound, he would believe that someone wanted his life, and there was no need to hide that.

As she spoke, she reached out to remove the cloth covering his wound. As blood had sipped out, it was time to change the bandage.

“It’s not good for brothers to keep trying to kill each other. I shouldn’t tell Father or he will be mad again.” Frowning, Feng Yuran twisted his body, making it easier for Mo Xuetong to untie his bandage.

Mo Xuetong was a bit annoyed at his blatant lies and thus pressed on his wound lightly. He screamed out in pain, with endurance written all over his pale face. Suddenly, Mo Xuetong was reluctant to touch his wound anymore as her hand trembled.

After a long while, she took a deep breath and continued untying the bandage layer by layer, regaining her composure. When all the cloth was untied, Mo Xuetong was shocked to find a large wound from the left chest to the lower right abdomen. Even her heart trembled with this discovery.

She almost couldn’t see him again!

This understanding made her pale with fright, as her limbs turned cold. At this moment, even her heart seemed to stop beating. He, how could he…

Tears rushed up to her eyes and she had to bite her lips to control the emotions in her heart.

She could not understand that emotion as it seemed to be a mixture of fear and sadness. She could only feel the blunt pain on her heart.

She was afraid! It was the first time that she had ever felt fear since her rebirth. Beside her, a warm hand surrounded her and grabbed her hands. She seemed to use that as a support, grabbing on to it immediately.

“Don’t worry. It’s not painful.” His voice was deep and cheerful.

However, it was painful for her. She was in great pain and great fear. Biting her lips, she was unable to form a sentence. Staring at the long gash on his body, the calmness in her eyes disappeared. Instead, she was overwhelmed by emotions.

Feng Yuran’s long slit eyes spoke of gentleness as he smiled, promising her, “Don’t worry, Tong’er. I didn’t make him comfortable as well. He was still lying on the bed now and his hand would nearly be useless. He could at most write a few words from now on.”

Someone’s hand was injured, and could not get up from his bed.

Mo Xuetong’s eyes blinked as she suddenly understood the situation. As tears flowed down her face, she became immensely angry. Pus.h.i.+ng his hands away, she asked coldly, “Where are the bandage and medication?”

Feng Yuran did not expect Mo Xuetong to be suddenly angry and became anxious. His seductive face disappeared as he called out, “Tong’er…”

“Where?” Mo Xuetong ignored his call and searched the medicine box beside her. Indeed, she found white cotton and medication inside. Smelling the drug, she was sure that those medications were for external injuries and thus placed them aside at her disposal. Quickly, she applied the medicine onto his wound before cutting a large part of the white cotton away.

With a cold gaze focused on him, she signaled for him to lift his body up. Feng Yuran followed her request, flattering her as he stared at her puny face. Mo Xuetong carefully bandaged him layer after layer. Every single time she approached him to bandage his wound, Feng Yuran’s eyes were all smiles.

Tong’er was worried about him! She was angry that he did not take care of himself!

That understanding made him touched, as he felt sweetness akin to drinking a full jar of honey!
