The Journey of the Empress of Quick Travel

Chapter 56 Punishment
  But when there is no danger or order from the master, he cannot appear at will to disturb the master, otherwise he will be punished.

After hearing the news that the two were punished again, Fengling was obviously worried.

She made an excuse to send away the little maid who was waiting on her, and took some golden sore medicine from the pharmacy, intending to check on the two people's injuries.

First, we went to Mo Lingqiu’s residence.

The layout of Hongye Valley is very regular, and the residences of the master and servants are clearly divided.

As a guilty person, Mo Lingqiu was flogged again this time, so his injuries were aggravated.

Fortunately, his physical condition was good, and apart from the physical pain, there was no major danger to his life.

When Feng Ling stepped into the room, she saw Mo Lingqiu leaning on the bed, his clothes half-undressed, and the wound on his back was already stained with gauze.

I am trying to apply the medicine myself, but due to the position, my movements are a bit clumsy.

Seeing this scene, Feng Ling's face instantly turned pale.

She hurriedly stepped forward and held his hand,
  "Mo Lingqiu, what's wrong with you? Why are you injured so badly? Are the people from the Killer Building causing trouble for you again?"

Mo Lingqiu was startled by her sudden appearance and voice. With a shake of her hand, the golden sore medicine spilled on the floor.

When he saw it was Feng Ling, his face immediately turned red, and he hurriedly arranged his messy clothes.
  "Miss Fourth, why did you come to my place?"

Mo Lingqiu suddenly felt a deep sense of shame. His clothes were disheveled and others could see him at a glance.

The scars on the back, after years of precipitation, have been clearly seen by others.

Mo Lingqiu didn't know if she could see those scars clearly, they must be ugly.

Will he be disliked by his master?

This kind of question echoed in Mo Lingqiu's mind, and a rare hint of embarrassment appeared on his face.

Feng Ling didn't feel the turmoil in his heart, but after seeing the scars on his back, she immediately stepped forward to stop him from getting dressed.

Her face was full of anger and distress,

"If I hadn't come, I would never have known why you were so seriously injured!"

Feng Ling sighed deeply, bit her lip, and her eyes began to turn red.
  "You guys, you told me everything was fine when we were on the road, but now the wounds on your shoulders are red, swollen and cracked. How dare you hold on?"

"Don't hide now, I've seen it all. Look at you, the medicine has spilled out, and the wound hasn't been applied yet."

With that said, Feng Ling held down Mo Lingqiu's flailing shoulders, took out a brand new bottle of golden sore medicine from her sleeve, and carefully cleaned his wounds.

Mo Lingqiu's body instantly stiffened at the scene in front of him.

Especially when I saw those white and soft fingers accidentally stained with blood from the wound, I felt a strange feeling in my heart.

His face also became unnatural.

Mo Lingqiu lowered his head, his face slightly red, and explained with embarrassment,

"Fourth Miss, you don't have to do this. In fact, my injury was almost healed. The whipping I received when I came back made it worse. Although it looks serious, it actually doesn't hurt much."

Fengling is just gentle
  "Humph"

He shouted, obviously not believing what he said.

For some reason, Mo Lingqiu felt a sense of joy in his heart when he heard her snort of dissatisfaction.

Mo Lingqiu turned around to see her face, but was slapped on the back of the head by Feng Ling.

"Don't move. Didn't you see that I was giving you medicine?"

Mo Lingqiu responded obediently and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

Nervously clasping the clothes on his knees, he suddenly asked,
  "Did Miss Fourth come directly to visit me? Have you not been to Xiao Jiu's place yet?" Feng Ling didn't seem to notice his thoughts, carefully cleaning his wounds and spreading the powder.

Seeing that the blood had stopped, Fengling
  "Um"

After a sigh, he replied directly,
  "Of course I came directly to you. You are so seriously injured, it will be very troublesome if there is no one to take care of you. As for Xiaojiu's place, don't worry, I will go and check on you later."

Hearing this, Mo Lingqiu felt ripples in his heart.

His eyelashes trembled slightly, and his thoughts couldn't help but drift to a possibility - whether the master came to visit him first because she cared more about him than Ying Xiaojiu.

This thought made Mo Lingqiu smile inadvertently.

However, this undetermined joy was interrupted by Feng Ling behind him.

After Feng Ling finished applying the medicine, she seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and warned

Road:
  "Don't get hurt again these days and don't touch the water. Otherwise, even the gods won't be able to save you."

Suddenly, she remembered something, blinked twice, and smiled softly,
  "By the way, I have already mentioned the surprise I promised you to my father. Xiao Qi has a gentle and reserved personality, so you will be safe and sound with her. Once you are healed, you can go directly to her."

As soon as he finished speaking, Mo Lingqiu noticed something strange. He pinched Feng Ling's wrist hard and asked in disbelief:

"Is this the surprise that the lady is talking about? Not only do you not want me anymore, but you also want to leave me to others at will?"

Mo Lingqiu's eyes were fixed on Feng Ling, and his breath suddenly became cold.

What does it mean?
  Throw it away after use?
  He clearly promised never to abandon him, so why did he hand him over to someone else when he came back?

Feng Ling was stunned, looking at him with watery eyes, and asked doubtfully:
  "What's wrong? Didn't we discuss this before?"

Feng Ling was obviously confused by Mo Lingqiu's reluctance. Her eyes were full of confusion as she looked him up and down.
  "Didn't you say that as long as we perform this scene well, you would help me escape from the photo studio? Isn't that what you expected?"

"Absolutely not!"

Mo Lingqiu held her wrist tightly, even her body was trembling slightly.

In the past, perhaps this was the ending he expected most, but now, the situation has changed.

They had experienced life and death together, and had lived together in a ruined temple.

She had stayed up all night to take care of him. Couldn't all this make her shake?

Does she really have no feelings for him?
  Mo Lingqiu wanted to say something, but was afraid that his emotions would appear so humble. He is just a killer, a lowly servant.

And she is the noble master.

His liking will only become the laughing stock of others.

However, she treated him more tenderly than she treated Ying Xiaojiu.

This made him mistakenly believe that she had feelings for him.

Could it be that all that warmth and care were all his illusions?
  Seeing the confusion on Feng Ling's face, Mo Lingqiu already understood.

From beginning to end, she never had a crush on him.

Feeling Mo Lingqiu's tense mood, Feng Ling involuntarily reached out and patted his shoulder, trying to comfort him.

"Don't worry, calm down first."

"If you have any dissatisfaction with Xiaoqi's place, just tell me. If you don't want to go there, we can find another place. In short, I will try my best to satisfy you, okay?"

Feng Ling smiled gently at him, with a hint of comfort in her tone.
