Chapter 875 Falling Frost Flower 65
Xia Li's confused expression. It didn't seem like she was lying. Perhaps Feng Ling had overthought things. Du Gu Cheng truly didn't know about this gunpowder, but why did he think of her when he hear..."What kind of medicine did the Emperor take It's so effective"
Feng Lingxi lowered her voice and asked, having noticed the obvious change in Dugu Yan's expression just now, what kind of medicine had such an effect.
"This king doesn't know either, it seems like the emperor has been taking this medicine recently, and every time he takes it, he gets better."
Dugu City watched Feng Ling Xi's interested expression and tugged at her sleeve, "Be careful, with so many people watching, lest it give rise to misunderstandings."
"Okay."
Feng Lingxi retracted her gaze. This Dugu Yan, this body was truly unable to hold on for much longer.
"Later, you'll accompany this King on a hunt. With me by your side, it will be safer."
"This is nature, rare to come out. I haven't shown my hands for a long time either." Feng Lingxi's smile widened on her face. This royal hunt was the first time she had participated in it, and she didn't know what this hunting ground had.
"The Fourth Princess smiles so brilliantly, she must be confident of winning this hunt."
Dugu Xiu walked to Feng Lingxi's face at an unknown time and greeted her. After a long absence, Dugu Xiu looked at Feng Lingxi with increasingly ambiguous eyes.
"Sixth Prince is overpraising me. As a weak woman, how can I compare to the Sixth Prince I'm just here accompanying my husband, it's enough to catch a glimpse." Wind Lingxi's smile disappeared from her face. Towards Dugu Xiu, she wouldn't force a smile.
"Sixth Prince, it's been a long time."
Dugu Cheng greeted, he was very displeased with Dugu Xiu's arrogant gaze. Even standing next to Feng Lingxi, he could feel the naked intensity of this guy’s eyes, causing him great discomfort.
"Fourth Brother has been living a life of ease and luxury lately, getting whatever he wants. He even has a beautiful woman by his side. His days are certainly more pleasant than mine. I almost died out there."
"If not for you back then..."
Before Dugu Cheng could finish his words, he heard Dugu Su's voice.
"It's time to go."
Dugu Xiu let out a cold snort, walked up to Dugu Su, and looked at him pushing the wheelchair. His sickly appearance made his eyes full of disdain as he got on his horse.
Wind Lingxi saw the pain in Dugu Su's eyes, walked to his side and comforted him, "Your Highness King Su needn't be saddened, he has always been like this."
Dugu Su turned to Feng Lingxi and offered a grateful smile. "It's alright, let's go."
Looking at Dugu Su pushing his wheelchair forward, Feng Ling Xi's eyes were on his legs. Her tone was concerned as she asked, "Will King Su be participating in the hunt later"
"The Emperor said everyone could participate, and although this Prince is physically limited, he can still hunt. Perhaps I'll even encounter some prey, making this trip worthwhile."
Then, let's look forward to King Su's performance.
Dugu Su nodded, watching Feng Lingxi and Dugu Cheng leave first. Her eyes sank slightly, and she unconsciously turned her wheelchair and followed their footsteps.
"King Su, I have sent someone to accompany you."
Dugu Yan spoke, and Dugu Su came to his senses, hurriedly saying, “Your Majesty, I don’t need anyone to accompany me. I can do it myself.”
"You are not well, Your Highness. I cannot bear the thought of you being alone. There will be someone following you to ensure your safety. If you wish to hunt, go somewhere with fewer people, so as not to be crowded and hurt yourself."
"Your Majesty, I appreciate your concern. I will just observe from here and see if any fish have slipped through the net."
"That's not a bad idea."
"Since that's the case, I shall hunt with them first. You take care of yourself," said Dugu Yan admiringly.
Dugu Su responded, looking at the soldiers left behind by Dugu Yan. His gaze turned to the place Dugu Yan had just mentioned, "Then let's go to that place and see if there are any stragglers."
There were many people on the hunting grounds. Dugu Cheng and Feng Yu Xi did not follow the main force with them, but instead went to a place in the woods with Feng Ling Xi. Xiao Li and Ye Xi followed them, and the team of four was not considered small.
"Your Highness, why don't we go with them All the game has gone over there. There's nothing here to hunt."
Xiao Li complained in puzzlement, "Isn't this royal hunt all about the atmosphere"
"Why the Royal Hunt wasn't held last year, I presume you all know. This year, it is being held. You truly believe it is for the so-called hunt"
Ye Xi opened her mouth to explain, “Most of the civil and military officials who came this time are scholars who don’t know martial arts. They came here just to be a backdrop. This hunting ground is likely to be full of hidden meanings this time.”
Feng Lingxi looked at Ye Xi, her eyes full of admiration.
"Didn't expect Ye Xi to be so insightful when analyzing things, everything she said makes sense."
Ye Xi scratched her head sheepishly and giggled.
"Your Majesty, you flatter me. I have only learned from the young Master."
"Ye Xi is right, this hunt wasn't just a simple hunt. You all saw it earlier, the Emperor was unwell, yet he came here to hold a hunt. Among them, Prince Su and Sixth Prince were both unable to attend, but they are all here today."
Dugu Cheng's eyes darkened slightly, "I'm afraid this hunt will be a massacre."
Feng Lingxi heard the word "kill," her expression tightened. Kill whom
"My lord, be careful, walls have ears."
Ye Xi instructed that the four of them continue forward. Along the way, there weren't many prey. Occasionally, a wild rabbit or deer would appear. Based on the number released, this was very few.
The atmosphere at the hunting ground was quite lively, with the sons of officials bustling about hunting. The sound of horses' hooves and animals' cries constantly circulated on the field. Dugu Yan only hunted two animals before stopping.
He felt very unwell during that time and had to take medicine twice before he could barely make it through.
"Your Majesty, perhaps you should return to your tent and rest first."
Beside her, Gonggong opened his mouth and Du Guyan nodded. She coughed twice, and Gonggong hurriedly helped Du Guyan into the tent.
"Your Majesty, these are the daughters of Minister Qiu, Minister Wang, and Minister Li. They have come to serve you."
"I have seen your Majesty."
Several beauties looked shyly at each other, and upon seeing Dugu Yan nod his head, they hurried to his side to knead his shoulders and massage him. It was called "beauty in arms." As Dugu Yan recuperated behind closed doors, a refreshing fragrance suddenly reached his nose, and the atmosphere in the air gradually changed.
We've been on this hunting ground for an hour now, and there haven't been many animals. We're all hungry.
Xiao Li complained, holding the rabbit in her hand, she really wanted to eat it.
Feng Lingxi listened to the cheers of the hunt around her, mixed with the cries of the slain animals. She couldn't help but sigh at the world's brutal law of the jungle.
"I'll go check it out over there later."
Feng Lingxi pointed to the noisy side, "Perhaps we can hunt there."
Backed by bows and arrows, heading towards where the prey was most abundant, they could hear a cacophony of unbearable sounds from afar. Feng Lingxi and Dugu Cheng hurried to stop their steps; just the sound alone made their faces flush and hearts race.
"Your Highness, you are so bad."
Her shy voice held a hint of seduction, sounding even more alluring deep within the woods.s eyes, which were both expectant and uneasy. She hurriedly soothed, "Your Highness, don't think too much about it, just go with the flow."Feng Ling xi nodded, “Perhaps the weather caused a two-day de...
