I became the tyrant's only belief.

Chapter 394 Don't you believe me?
Inside the tent, Feng Jing was fast asleep, wrapped in a blanket, completely unaware that Chu Liuzheng was calling him.

Yesterday, he was waiting to have the Grand Tutor and Marquis Wenzhao examine their health, and he didn't go to bed until almost 3 AM. He was so sleepy that he wandered into the wrong tent and was dragged out by Lü Fei.

Chu Liuzheng guessed that he must have gone to bed quite late last night. He called out to Feng Jing a few times but did not hear a response, so he knew that Feng Jing was still fast asleep.

If it were anyone else, Chu Liuzheng would have gone in and called for help immediately. But Doctor Feng had a notorious reputation, and with Lü Fei as a cautionary tale, Chu Liuzheng really didn't want to be poisoned by the ruthless doctor so early in the morning.

She thought for a moment and decided to wait outside, just in case Feng Jing woke up on his own.
You can browse the system from left to right and won't get bored.

"Sister, what are you doing standing here?" Chen Xing heard a familiar voice and came out from behind the tent carrying a basin. It was indeed Chu Liuzheng.

Siyue's tent for recuperating was right behind Feng Jing's tent. Chu Liuzheng slapped her forehead, realizing how she had forgotten. She could have simply sat and waited in the tent behind, and even visited Siyue there.

She said, "I need to speak with Dr. Feng about something."

Chen Xing smiled and came over to take her arm: "Dr. Feng only went to bed late last night. There was such a loud thunder last night that one of the tents caught fire right next to him, but he didn't wake up. It might be a long wait for him to wake up, Sister. Why don't you come and sit with us?"

Chu Liuzheng, who had also slept soundly through the night and was unaware of the tent fire, was speechless.

"Okay." She nodded, glanced around, held the umbrella for Chenxing, accompanied him to fetch hot water, and returned to the tent where Siyue was recuperating.

Chenxing poured her a cup of hot water and asked curiously, "Sister, is there something urgent that you need to see Doctor Feng?"

"I had a nightmare this morning when I was half-awake, and it was about the Grand Tutor and Marquis Wenzhao. I'm feeling a bit uneasy about it," Chu Liuzheng said, holding his cup and making up a story. "I was thinking of coming to see Doctor Feng to ask about their situation."

“Sister, you can ask me.” Chen Xing wrung out a hot towel and handed it to Si Yue. “Si Yue was asleep yesterday, so I went out to check on things. I was watching when the Grand Tutor and Marquis Wenzhao were brought back, and I was also there when Doctor Feng examined them. I know everything.”

Chu Liuzheng hurriedly asked, "How are they? What did Doctor Feng say?"

"They had no hair or beards left." Thinking of how the two looked last night, Chen Xing suppressed a laugh. "When they were brought back, they had red floral headscarves wrapped around their heads, looking like two fleeing monks."

Chu Liuzheng imagined the scene and found it somewhat amusing.

However, that's not the point!

Chen Xing said, "Doctor Feng said that it's normal for them to be a little weak after being imprisoned for so long, and they will recover after some time of recuperation. They don't have any other injuries, and even the Grand Tutor's previous injuries have healed."

Chu Liuzheng's heart skipped a beat: "Didn't Doctor Feng say anything else?"

"What else?" Chen Xing walked over and sat down, lowering her voice.

Chu Liuzheng glanced at Siyue, who had begun meditating and regulating her breathing on the bed, and lowered his voice: "Yin Lanci is so skilled with Gu, her subordinates should also know these things. Didn't they use Gu on the Grand Tutor and Marquis Wenzhao?"

"No." Chen Xing shook his head. "Ping Xuan asked the Grand Tutor to tell him that Yin Lan Ci originally planned to use the Bewitching Gu on the Grand Tutor, but because the Bewitching Gu had not yet been fully developed, the time was postponed. The Grand Tutor and the others only suffered some torment in the water dungeon, and were indeed not bewitched."

“Pingxuan is not a trustworthy person.” Chu Liuzheng pursed his lips. “What if he is?”

Chenxing hugged her arm and looked at her: "Sister, are you so worried because of that nightmare?"

“Exactly.” Chu Liuzheng continued to fabricate a lie, “I dreamt that the Grand Tutor and Marquis Wenzhao were lying in a pile of poisonous insects, covered in blood, which was quite terrifying.”

Chen Xing knew that Chu Liuzheng was timid and thought that the reason she had such a nightmare was because she had been hearing about this or that kind of Gu worm recently, and she had also been bitten by a Shadow Chaser, which frightened her. She was afraid that she was dreaming about it because she had been thinking about it during the day.

She comforted her, saying, "Sister, don't worry. If you're still concerned, just ask Doctor Feng to take another look at the Grand Tutor and Marquis Wenzhao after he wakes up."

Chu Liuzheng gave a soft "hmm" and sighed, "If only Abbot Jiang were awake."

Feng Jing specializes in medicine and poisons, and only has a slight understanding of Gu worms, so he is naturally not as good as Jiang Yao, who is a professional Gu player.

“Although Abbot Jiang hasn’t woken up, Tongniang checked on her last night, so she should be fine. Sister, you don’t need to worry so much.” Chenxing leaned on her shoulder, her nose twitching slightly. “Did you eat Old Wu’s minced meat noodles just now, sister?” [Was it that strong a smell?]

Chu Liuzheng had rushed to find Feng Jing earlier, and after finishing his noodles, he indeed forgot to rinse his mouth with water.

Although the topic change was quite abrupt, she appreciated Chenxing's kindness and glanced down at her, asking, "Hungry?"

"Mmm." Chenxing smiled and nuzzled against her shoulder. "I have to protect Siyue and can't leave."

Chu Liuzheng raised his hand and rubbed her head: "Okay, you stay and watch over Siyue. I'll have the kitchen prepare it and send it over."

"Thank you for your trouble, sister." Chen Xing let go of her and watched her walk out of the tent.

The rain was still falling, but it was getting lighter.

The rain drizzled and dripped, and the clouds finally cleared up around noon.

Round raindrops dripped from the upturned tips of leaves, and the sun shone brightly, casting a rainbow on the puddles in the mud.

Feng Jing stretched and walked out of the tent, crossed his arms and stretched his muscles, then did a few chest expansion exercises and twisted his waist.

While he was doing his activity, someone suddenly jumped out from beside the tent, startling him.

Why do you walk so quietly?

Chen Xing curled her lip. She was a secret guard. If a secret guard made any noise when walking, he would have been dead eight hundred times over.

While rubbing his chest, which was still shaken, Feng Jing asked, "Is something wrong?"

Chen Xing said, "Sister Liu Zheng came looking for you this morning. She was quite anxious and called you several times, but you didn't wake up."

"Looking for me?" Feng Jing picked at his ear. How come he hadn't heard a shout at all?
He asked, "What does she want from me?"

"Let her tell you herself." Chen Xing was in a hurry to prepare medicine for Si Yue and didn't have time to chat with him.

Feng Jing yawned and asked, "Where is she now?"

Chen Xing looked up at the sky and guessed, "At this hour, he should be serving in the main tent."

"Okay, I'll go find her." Feng Jing went back to the tent to grab some snacks to tide him over before eating, but after searching for a while, he only found a small bag of peanuts. He then remembered that Chu Liuzheng had given away all his snacks, saying he would buy them for him when he went to town.

Feng Jing had no choice but to grab a handful of peanuts to make do, and then went to the main tent to find someone.

Inside the main tent, Chu Liuzheng had just poured tea for Xiao Jingfan when he turned his head and saw a familiar head popping out of the tent entrance.

Feng Jing popped a peanut into his mouth and waved to her with a smile.

Chu Liuzheng glanced at Xiao Jingfan and saw that he was staring at the map in a daze, so he quietly went out.

"Chenxing told me you came looking for me this morning," Feng Jing said while peeling peanuts. "What was it about?"

Chu Liuzheng chose to keep it brief, glossing over his nightmare and emphasizing that he should have the Grand Tutor and Marquis Wenzhao examined again.

"Are you doubting my medical skills?" Feng Jing narrowed his eyes slightly. "You don't trust me?"
