My Sexy CEO Wife

Chapter 396 - 393: Enormously Wicked and Heinous

"My lord, the medicinal soup is ready." Lord Feng placed a bowl of steaming medicinal soup on the table.

"Oh." Miao Kuangfeng sat upright, picked up the medicinal soup, and began to drink.

"Bang!"

Gao Fei burst in from outside, "Don't drink! There's poison in the soup!" Seeing Miao Kuangfeng drinking the medicinal soup, Gao Fei felt a pang of bitterness in his heart. He was still a step too late.

"Eh?" Miao Kuangfeng raised his head and looked at Gao Fei. "What did you say? The soup is poisoned?"

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Lord Feng became anxious. "How could the medicinal soup be poisoned? Are you suggesting that I poisoned the soup?"

Gao Fei didn't pay attention to Lord Feng but looked at Miao Kuangfeng with a tense face. "My lord, do you feel any discomfort?"

Miao Kuangfeng put down the medicinal soup and concentrated for a moment. "No, I don't."

"No?" Gao Fei frowned. "Could it be that I was wrong?"

"My lord! This Gao Fei is slandering me. You must seek justice for me." Lord Feng said furiously, "I dedicate myself every day to preparing the medicinal soup with the utmost care... Yet Gao Fei accuses me of poisoning it, which is... It's infuriating..." Lord Feng's face turned red, and his chest heaved uncontrollably.

"Gao Fei! I order you to apologize to Lord Feng right now!" Miao Kuangfeng reprimanded.

Gao Fei cupped his fists towards Lord Feng. "Lord Feng, you have misunderstood me. I never doubted you..." Gao Fei paused, then asked, "May I inquire if Di Renkui came to see you today?"

"You're monitoring me?" Lord Feng's face changed.

Gao Fei shook his head. "I was monitoring Di Renkui."

"Di Renkui? Why were you monitoring Di Renkui? What right do you have to monitor him!" Lord Feng raised his voice in question.

"Here's what happened..." Gao Fei detailed the entire sequence of events.

"Just because Di Renkui met with Cao Buwei, you suspect him?" Lord Feng snorted coldly. "That's simply illogical."

"Lord Feng, please calm down. Gao Fei meant well. He was concerned about me, which is why he was monitoring Cao Buwei and Di Renkui. Let's not hold it against him," Miao Kuangfeng said with a smile.

"Only this once; it won't happen again," Lord Feng huffed.

"There will be no next time," Gao Fei wondered to himself. Had he really guessed wrong?

"My lord, please hurry up and drink the rest of your medicine. If the soup cools down, the efficacy will diminish," Lord Feng urged.

"Alright." Miao Kuangfeng reached out to pick up the medicinal soup, intending to continue drinking. He had only taken two sips when Gao Fei interrupted him, and in this short delay, the soup had cooled down somewhat.

Gao Fei watched Miao Kuangfeng unblinkingly, or more precisely, the medicinal soup in Miao Kuangfeng's hands. Up to now, Gao Fei's suspicions still hadn't completely subsided.

"Er..."

Suddenly, Miao Kuangfeng's complexion changed, and the bowl of medicine fell from his hand to the ground.

"My lord!"

"My lord, what's wrong with you?"

Gao Fei and Lord Feng both asked.

"Puh!"

Miao Kuangfeng opened his mouth and spurted out a mouthful of black blood, foul-smelling and repellent.

"Ah! This..."

Lord Feng was completely dumbfounded.

Gao Fei was also shocked. "My lord..."

"The medicinal soup... it's poisoned..." Miao Kuangfeng said with difficulty.

"It really... is poisoned..." Lord Feng's body trembled, unsure of what to do next.

"What are you dazing about for? Hurry up and help the lord!" Gao Fei pushed Lord Feng. "Go quickly!"

"Ah Ah Ah! Yes, I'm on it." As if waking from a dream, Lord Feng quickly moved to examine Miao Kuangfeng's condition.

"How's it going?" Gao Fei asked urgently, "Can you detoxify?"

Lord Feng's complexion was unspeakably grim as he shook his head: "The poison is too overpowering... I... I can't detoxify..."

"Useless thing." Gao Fei cursed, "If something happens to Lord Miao, you'll never live in peace for the rest of your life."

Although Lord Feng was scolded by Gao Fei, he didn't get angry, for he no longer had the right to be angry: "Fortunately, Lord Miao didn't ingest a lot of poison, and there shouldn't be any immediate threat to his life... But over time, it's hard to say..."

"Stop babbling nonsense, just tell me, how can we rid Lord Miao's body of this deadly poison?" Gao Fei demanded angrily.

"The best way would be to find the Antidote."

"Nonsense! If I had the Antidote, would I still be wasting time here with you! Right, send someone immediately to capture Di Renkui and Cao Buwei. Maybe, they have the Antidote on them!"

"Right, how could I forget about that? Gao Fei, you take care of Lord Miao here, I'll personally go to capture Di Renkui and Cao Buwei! They dare to poison the medicinal soup, clearly intending to frame me! I definitely won't let them get away with it." Lord Feng ran out furiously.

Gao Fei steadied the staggering Miao Kuangfeng: "Lord Miao, hold on a little longer, the Antidote will soon be found."

"Gao Fei... I'm sorry... I was accusing you just now..." Miao Kuangfeng said intermittently.

"Lord Miao, don't talk, conserve your strength to fight off the poison. You surely won't succumb to it," Gao Fei said.

"Crackle, crackle..."

"Bang, bang, bang..."

"Clang, clang, clang..."

"Ahh!!!"

"Kill them!"

"Capture them!"

"Kill!!!"

A sudden outburst of shouting and killing noises came from outside.

"Swoosh!"

A soldier stumbled in: "Not good, Chiliarch Cao Buwei and Di Renkui have rebelled... and a band of bandits have stormed in... our soldiers are about to be overpowered..."

"Pffft!"

Miao Kuangfeng's face darkened, he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, his breath immediately weakened, and the continuous strikes completely crushed Miao Kuangfeng.

"Lord Miao! Lord Miao!" Gao Fei was startled: "Lord Miao, you must hold on!" He fished out a handful of Healing Pills from his body, not caring whether they were effective or not, he stuffed them all into Miao Kuangfeng's mouth, then carried Miao Kuangfeng on his back and ran outside.

Outside was in chaos, fire and slaughter everywhere, the ground covered with corpses, blood flowing in streams and pooling into rivers.

Gao Fei looked around and chose a less crowded place to break through.

"Lord Miao!"

"Lord Miao, we have finally found you!"

Chen San and Liu Qing led a group of soldiers over.

"You arrived just in time, protect me as we break out!" Gao Fei ordered.

"Yes!"

Chen San and Liu Qing led the soldiers, guarding on either side of Gao Fei, and sprinted towards the outside.

"How can there be so many bandits?" Gao Fei asked, frowning: "Weren't all the bandits wiped out?"

Chen San and Liu Qing shook their heads together: "We don't know, these bandits appeared out of nowhere, catching us completely unprepared... What's most infuriating is... Cao Buwei and Di Renkui acted as the inside agents, colluding with the bandits to attack the camp. If it weren't for Cao Buwei and Di Renkui's inside job, the bandits could never have stormed into the camp so smoothly."

"Cao Buwei and Di Renkui deserve death!" Gao Fei cursed through clenched teeth: "Don't let me catch them! Otherwise, I will definitely tear them limb from limb!"
