Chapter 423: Claiming to be Sick
"I know, I know." Yan Siying tried hard to hold back the pain and tears all over her body, "I know I was wrong, I shouldn't have..."
Without waiting for Yan Siying to finish speaking, Qin Peiyuan threw the teacup in his hand to the ground.
The tea splashed all over Yan Siying.
The tea had already cooled down completely and didn't feel hot to her, but Yan Siying was covered in wounds, many of which were bleeding slightly. The tea made the wounds even more painful.
Yan Siying was trembling all over and dared not speak anymore.
"It's good that you know you're wrong. There's no need to say more." Qin Peiyuan's tone was full of anger.
He didn't want to hear such a thing a second time.
"Yes, yes, I understand." Yan Siying nodded repeatedly.
Seeing that Yan Siying no longer had the usual nobility and pride of a minister's daughter, and was just a poor creature who obeyed orders, Qin Peiyuan softened his expression, half squatted down, and reached out to pinch her chin.
When Qin Peiyuan made his move just now, he deliberately avoided Yan Siying's face.
So even though Yan Siying was covered with bruises, there was no scar on her face. However, because of the fear and tears she had just shed, her face was pale and her makeup was a little mottled. Combined with the tears in her eyes that she dared not shed, she looked a little sad and beautiful, like a pear blossom in the rain.
Qin Peiyuan looked at it for a long time, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his lips. "If anyone dares to say a word about what happened today, it will not be just like this."
Yan Siying couldn't help but burst into tears, and she kept answering, "I understand, and I will never tell anyone. The injury today was caused by my careless fall..."
"Very good." Qin Peiyuan patted Yan Siying's cheek with great satisfaction and stood up. "If you behave yourself in the future, I am not a narrow-minded person. There is still a place for you in this backyard."
"If your Yan family can show some appreciation and do a good job, I will not treat you unfairly."
"Yes, yes." Yan Siying agreed repeatedly.
Qin Peiyuan was more and more satisfied with the result. He put his hands behind his back and walked out. When he reached the door, he told Mother Pei, "Take good care of your concubine. Later, I will send someone to deliver medicine for the injury. The concubine has been feeling unwell these days, so please don't walk around."
"Yes, I will do my best to take good care of the concubine and take care of everything outside. Please rest assured, Your Highness." Mother Pei answered while kneeling.
Qin Peiyuan knew about Mother Pei's daily persuasion and discipline of Yan Siying. He nodded slightly, strode out of the yard and returned to his residence.
"Your Highness." The attendant poured tea for him. "The Emperor is in the enclosure right now. Would Your Highness like to go?"
"Father's eyes are full of that Ping'an County Lady right now, why should I join in the fun?" Qin Peiyuan frowned, "As for the third brother, we have to think of a way..."
Qin Peiyou's skills are so impressive now and should not be underestimated.
This guy is becoming more and more his mortal enemy.
If we don’t deal with him promptly, by the time he grows stronger, it will be impossible to shake his position.
Qin Peiyuan thought for a long time and raised his head, "I remember hearing that a few top-quality Western Region BMWs have just arrived in the paddock."
"Yes." He Wen nodded, "However, these horses are strong and sturdy, just as strong as the Arabian horses. It's just that they have been in the paddock for a short time, so their temperaments are not as docile as the horses we usually use."
"Only spirited horses are interesting. What's the point of riding stupid horses?" Qin Peiyuan said, "Go and give orders. When we go hunting tomorrow, the Third Prince and I will both ride new horses."
"Yes." He Wen nodded, "I will have someone carefully select and arrange the best horse for Your Highness."
Qin Peiyuan nodded slightly.
After a moment, his face darkened.
Qin Peiyou, since you want to compete with me, let's wait and see.
——The
afternoon hunt ended when the sun set.
It was similar to what He Yanxiu, Qin Peiyou and others had guessed. Lu Wenjing had the largest harvest, followed by the fifth princess. At the bottom was the youngest Princess Oh An Ning, who only caught a little rabbit with the help of her guards.
Su Yujin did not do badly. Although she was able to gain something only because the guards drove the prey away, she still managed to hunt two rabbits with her own archery skills.
Qin Yishu was grinning from ear to ear when he saw this. "Women are as good as men, that's what I mean. You all have worked very hard. I have asked people to make a lot of stews and barbecues, and also have people prepare fresh fruits and delicious fruit wine. I will send them to you later to cheer you up."
"Thank you, father!" The fifth princess led everyone to express gratitude, and then went to enjoy the spoils of the day with great interest.
After a day of hunting, everyone was tired but happy. In the evening, they felt relaxed and even indulged themselves. They ate a lot of wine and meat and talked a lot.
Besides, tonight we were just getting together as a group, so we didn't have to endure the looks and comments from people we didn't like, and everyone felt quite relaxed and comfortable.
It was not until midnight that everyone went back to rest.
When Qin Peiming returned, the moon was already hanging in the western sky.
Pan Zhong helped him to the bedside and handed him a copper tube from a box beside the pillow, "My lord, there is a letter from the prince."
"Oh?" Qin Peiming sobered up when he heard that it was the King of Yue. He reached out to take it, poured out a rolled-up piece of paper from the copper tube, and after opening it, he examined it carefully in the candlelight.
After seeing the words written on it clearly, Qin Peiming put the note on the fire and lit it.
The note quickly caught fire, turned into ashes.
Qin Peiming ordered Pan Zhong to clean up the ashes, and said, "Tomorrow morning, you go to see the emperor and the eldest prince, and tell them that I got drunk tonight and caught a cold. I need to stay in my room to recuperate, so it's inconvenient for me to accompany you."
"Yes." Pan Zhong agreed, helped Qin Peiming lie down on the bed, extinguished the candle in the room, and left quietly.
Qin Peiming turned over in bed, looking at the moonlight shining into the room through the window paper, and all his sleepiness disappeared.
In the evening, he heard that Qin Peiyuan had found several top-quality Western horses, probably in preparation for a hunt with Qin Peiyou tomorrow.
Qin Peiyuan is fully prepared and is determined to succeed in this matter. Who knows, he might even teach Qin Peiyou a severe lesson.
If Qin Peiyou was at a disadvantage, He Yanxiu would definitely suffer as well.
It can be said that there will be a good show to watch tomorrow.
And it was a good show that he extremely wanted to see.
However, the King of Yue sent him a letter, asking him to pretend to be sick and stay in his room and not to ask about anything happening outside.
Since the King of Yue has given such instructions, there must be a reason and a plan, and she should obey.
But in this way, you will miss a good show that is very refreshing...
Qin Peiming frowned and clenched his fists. ——The next day, the weather was still sunny and bright.
Just like yesterday, after getting up and having breakfast, everyone was ready and prepared to continue showing their skills.
