Crazy or What? The Gloomy Prince Kisses Me to Tears Every Night!-Chapter 244 - 233: He Would Rather Turn a Blind Eye and Ask Nothing

Chapter 244: Chapter 233: He Would Rather Turn a Blind Eye and Ask Nothing

Upon hearing Feng Qiwu’s words, Bai Susu’s face involuntarily grew sullen. She immediately understood Feng Qiwu’s meaning.

Then she couldn’t help but clench her fists and say, "Are you implying that he doesn’t intend to save those ordinary people?"

If the plan is to selectively save some people to prove the value of the antidote, then Feng Qingyang will definitely ignore those poor commoners.

If things really turn out this way, then she might as well have directly revealed the fact that she has a large amount of antidote!

The initiative is now in the hands of Feng Qingyang, the most powerful person. If she reveals it now... she’ll inevitably offend him, the emperor.

...

Seeing Bai Susu’s face with a touch of regret, Feng Qiwu couldn’t help but curl his lips.

"What are you afraid of? Isn’t there still me?" Feng Qiwu said warmly.

His Susu is just too kind.

In front of the ruler, the lives of the nobility can be inconsequential, let alone the fate of those at the bottom.

In the face of royal power, life has no warmth.

There is only cold and indifferent interest exchange.

But he was pleased that Susu cared about those lives.

Not because he himself cares about their fate equally, but because Susu’s actions make him feel the warmth that only a real person can possess.

After all, neither he nor Feng Qingyang could be considered human.

Because neither of them has the thing called a conscience.

...

Upon hearing Feng Qiwu’s words, Bai Susu’s eyes suddenly lit up.

"Do you have a good plan? If you want to save everyone, wouldn’t you offend Feng Qingyang, and wouldn’t you get implicated?" Bai Susu quickly asked.

Feng Qingyang is already very wary of Feng Qiwu, extremely displeased with him.

If Feng Qiwu goes against him again, wouldn’t he offend him to death?

Although Feng Qiwu might not really care about offending him.

Seeing Bai Susu still not forgetting to worry about him at this time, Feng Qiwu couldn’t help but chuckle softly, "Don’t worry, I have ways to make others know the truth inadvertently."

In this world, there’s never a shortage of smart people.

Moreover, nowadays the Great Qin Capital is teeming with bright minds from various countries.

Feng Qingyang wants to conceal the antidote from this crowd? Wishful thinking!

Bai Susu seeing his confidence, finally felt relieved.

"That’s good. If it would implicate you, forget it. I’ll just think of another way."

Anyway, she’s not going to watch so many people get infected and then become seriously ill and die.

"You’re just too kind. If it were me, I wouldn’t bother with the fate of so many people, and besides, I’m willing to be implicated by you."

Having said that, Feng Qiwu pulled Bai Susu into his arms, while gently stroking her long hair and squinting his eyes, said, "Enough about that, guess what I discovered today?"

"What?" Bai Susu raised her eyes to him in curiosity.

Feng Qiwu rarely played coy in front of her.

"Back at the Northwest Gorge, didn’t I bump into the man who claimed to be my uncle?"

"He said at the time that he appeared at the Gorge for his daughter Ling Su. But now I discover that his daughter Ling Su is at Feng Wuchen’s residence," Feng Qiwu said.

With these words, Bai Susu’s eyes widened slightly, her heart shocked.

"You mean Ling Su?"

How did she appear at this time?

In the original text, she appeared only once at the Gorge and then once after Feng Wuchen ascended the throne, appearing only twice in the entire novel.

Unexpectedly, she didn’t show up during the Gorge’s attack on bandits, yet appeared now.

Looks like the power of the plot truly exists.

Otherwise how to explain that Ling Su still got involved with Feng Wuchen?

...

But Feng Qiwu instantly caught the flaw in Bai Susu’s tone.

"You know her?" Feng Qiwu’s eyes paused and then looked down at Bai Susu.

If she didn’t know Ling Su or hadn’t heard of Ling Su’s name, she wouldn’t have reacted so familiarly just now.

Hearing this, Bai Susu’s body involuntarily stiffened.

Next moment she hastily coughed lightly, then stammered, "I don’t really know her, but I seem to have heard that name somewhere before..."

┭┮﹏┭┮

Sure enough, in front of Feng Qiwu, not a single flaw can be exposed.

How should she smooth this over now?

But what Bai Susu didn’t expect was that Feng Qiwu surprisingly didn’t intend to press her further, and instead, after her words fell, he directly responded with an "oh."

"I see, similar names, it’s normal for you to have heard of it somewhere," Feng Qiwu said tenderly, glancing at her slightly stiff face.

Only then did Bai Susu breathe a sigh of relief and quickly nod.

Although she didn’t know why Feng Qiwu didn’t continue to ask, passing through was good enough.

Little did she know, she hadn’t "passed" in front of Feng Qiwu, but rather Feng Qiwu couldn’t bear seeing her tense stiffness.

If probing would make her develop fearful feelings towards him, he’d rather be a blind fool and not ask anything.

...

After Bai Susu quickly exhaled, she raised her eyes again, with a somewhat relaxed expression, and asked Feng Qiwu, "Why would Ling Su be at Feng Wuchen’s residence? Could it be that your mother’s family has decided to have her and Feng Wuchen bear a child?"

If this is the case, doesn’t it mean they ultimately abandoned Feng Qiwu?

In other words, Feng Qiwu would eventually die?

Thinking about this, Bai Susu couldn’t help but feel a heaviness in her heart, her face filled with gloom.

Seeing this, Feng Qiwu immediately gently kissed her smooth forehead and said, "It’s likely not. After investigating for a few days, I found that Ling Su appeared at Feng Wuchen’s residence as a coincidence."

"A coincidence?" Bai Susu was still skeptical.

What coincidence—it’s obviously the force of the plot.

At this point, Feng Qiwu nodded and said, "According to my investigation, the hidden clans mentioned by Yu Qingfeng should be gradually emerging. Ling Su was seriously injured in battle with the enemies of other hidden clans that day and happened to be saved by Feng Wuchen, which is why she ended up at Feng Wuchen’s residence."

Hearing this, Bai Susu immediately became tense.

"The hidden clans have appeared? Why are they appearing now?"

Not to mention in novels, even in the modern world, such hidden forces typically intervene when there is a great social upheaval.

The hidden clans appearing now, is something major about to happen?

The plot she knows seems irrelevant now, and she doesn’t know what will happen next.

...

Seeing Bai Susu’s concern, Feng Qiwu quickly reassured her, "It might be related to the recovery of Star Power. You shouldn’t worry too much, as we already have a Star Stone Mine and have begun cultivation first. Even if they have intentions, we don’t need to fear."

From Ling Su’s perspective, in their current abode, Star Power isn’t particularly abundant.

Otherwise, Ling Su wouldn’t be less strong in cultivation than him who has been absorbing Star Power for only a few years.
