Chapter 67 "Mo Yan is Being Beaten"
Feng Muqing had been ecstatic since her mother agreed to let her leave the city, but after a few days of the bumpy carriage ride, she was starting to feel overwhelmed.
She finally understood why her mother and father had always been reluctant to let her travel far with her frail body.
The female doctor came over from time to time to examine her, giving her ginseng slices to suck on. Her pulse was weak and feeble, and the doctor advised her to consider returning.
Feng Muqing, feeling miserable and struggling to catch her breath, thought, was she really going to die on this road?
Her face was pale, her lips deathly white, and her mouth was filled with a bitter taste. She had been vomiting repeatedly, expelling nothing but bile.
"How much longer... until we arrive?" she weakly leaned on Zhao Zixuan.
At this point, Zhao Zixuan was anxious and helpless. If Feng Muqing died on the way, her own life might be in danger.
She felt some resentment towards Feng Muqing for not staying in the capital, which caused her own suffering.
However, she continued to act concerned on the surface, gently comforting her and asking the guards how much longer it would be. She was relieved when she learned that they would reach Yangming City in less than half a day.
Zhao Zixuan had someone quickly go to Yangming City to inform Lord Ling and Feng Xiran, and also to inquire if Si Yang was still there.
When Feng Xiran received the news and saw her elder sister looking so sickly, she felt a deep admiration.
"Why has the elder sister come here?"
Ling Xin quickly had people help Feng Muqing down and asked Si Yang to examine her.
"Your Highness, the journey has been exhausting. You should rest and recover well."
Siyi, unable to avoid it, briefly examined her pulse and then spoke.
Feng Muqing had not seen Ling Xin and Feng Xiran for a long time. She looked up at them.
"Uncle and Aunt, you're well. Ran'er, you've lost weight, and Shuang'er has gotten darker."
Ling Shuang's expression stiffened at this comment, and Feng Xiran, seeing her expression, suppressed her smile.
Feng Muqing, feeling unwell, went to rest, and Zhao Zixuan had also suffered a lot on the way.
When she saw Xue Chenxi, they reminisced together about the hardships of the journey.
Xue Chenxi listened to Zhao Zixuan's complaints and frowned. She thought Zhao Zixuan's suffering was nothing compared to what she had endured, so she began to boast about her own experiences.
Fighting wolves, finding water, digging wells, dealing with hooligans—Zhao Zixuan was stunned.
"Is it true?"
Zhao Zixuan looked at her with disbelief.
"Why would I lie? Go and ask Feng Xiran and Ling Shuang if you don't believe me."
Seeing that her elder sister was resting, Feng Xiran pulled Ling Xin and Ling Shuang aside.
"Besides the illness, did the elder sister come for anything else?"
Ling Xin shook her head, unsure, and looked at Ling Shuang.
"Why are you looking at me? I've been outside the whole time, had no time to write, and since Muqing just arrived, I haven't had a chance to catch up with her."
