"Since Your Highness Prince Duan doesn't take this minor injury seriously, remember to move faster next time and take the knife for your beautiful lady yourself, and don't bother my man!"
Everyone: “…”
Lin Xiafeng walked forward feeling extremely guilty and embarrassed, and with red eyes, she bowed to Wu Ling Wang Yingying, "Your Majesty, Princess, I'm sorry, it's all my fault, I..."
Qin Qingyao, "It's good that you know!"
Lin Xiafeng looked so sad and guilty that I felt sorry for her. Not to mention a hero like King Wu Ling, even a ruffian wouldn't have the heart to bother with her.
But sorry, Qin Qingyao is neither a rogue nor a hero, she is a woman, King Wu Ling's woman.
Lin Xiafeng still had her legs half bent. If it were usual, Dugu Yu would have helped her up when she started to salute.
But not today. Today, Dugu Yu was stunned by the words Qin Qingyao said to Prince Duan.
No matter how brave he is, he is still a human being and will feel pain. Because he has been seriously injured, he needs to take extra care of his body, instead of being indifferent to any further injuries.
Also, don't bother my man.
This was the first time in Dugu Yu's life that he was protected like this. Even though there were so many men and women around him, including the high and mighty Prince Duan, Qin Qingyao was not afraid at all.
She was like a hen protecting her chicks, disregarding her image as a dignified and gentle lady to protect him. Dugu Yu felt that this strange feeling was quite strange, but not unpleasant.
I feel warm in my heart.
Lin Xiafeng was confronted by Qin Qingyao, and he bent his legs, not knowing whether he should stand up.
Those big watery eyes looked at Qin Qingyao in shock, grievance and guilt, then at Dugu Yu, and did not move.
They are truly worthy of being the eyes of the heroine. Just this one look contains a 500-word essay. How can they not be lovable!
Haha, you really like playing the weakling to elicit sympathy, don't you? Since you want to accuse me of being a bad person, then I'll be even more thoroughly bad!
"I told Miss Lin a long time ago that the mountains are full of bandits and it's not safe. But you said you have guards. May I ask how many of the Lin family's guards were killed or injured? Do you know how heartbroken their wives, parents, and children are?"
Not only Lin Xiafeng hadn't thought about this problem, no one had thought about it. In their eyes, guards, maids, and slaves were all servants, dug from the trees and the soil, and they could get them by paying money. Who cared whether they were dead or alive, tired or in pain?
"You brought such a large group of young ladies to Prince Duan's estate and stayed with such a group of grown men for two days and one night. Have you ever thought about how they will face people when they return? Do they still have any dignity left? Do they still want to maintain their reputation?"
Young ladies: “…”
Big men: "..."
"Also, didn't Miss Lin say that the abbot on the mountain had done you a favor and that you should go there to burn incense and fulfill your vow? Isn't it absolutely necessary to go?"
"Why do I see that you are dressed like this, not like you are going to worship Buddha, but like you are going to hunt with Prince Duan!"
"Ms. Lin, you can!"
Prince Duan roared, "That's enough!"
Qin Qingyao shrugged. "I've said enough. Miss Lin, please stand up. Stop squatting. Look at His Royal Highness Prince Duan. His face is green with heartache."
Everyone: Isn’t it because you made me green with anger?
Lin Xiafeng stood up, her figure stubborn and upright, her expression humiliated and innocent, "Princess, why are you targeting me like this? Have I ever done anything to offend you?"
"My husband's shoulder was wounded so deeply, are you blind?"
Lin Xiafeng: “…”
Dugu Yu pulled Qin Qingyao's hand, without blaming her. His tone was so gentle that it seemed as if he was coaxing her, "Don't say anything. Let's go. I'll take you to catch rabbits."
"Hmph!" Qin Qingyao turned away, took Dugu Yu's hand and went out.
After Qin Qingyao finished speaking, the men and women who were originally standing together separated to both sides without saying a word. Although Princess Wu Ling was a bit domineering, not a single word she said was wrong!
Today is the fifteenth day of the lunar month, but Lin Xiafeng has no plans to go to worship Buddha. She wants to go hunting with Prince Duan. In order not to make her look so awkward being alone, all these young ladies were invited to go hunting together.
They were quite excited at first, but now, whoever wants to go can go, I'm going to worship Buddha!
Lu Qifeng watched Prince Wuling and his wife leave and called out from behind, "Hello, Prince! I'm the best at catching rabbits!"
He didn't want to go hunting with that group of young ladies. He wouldn't know whether to chase the prey or protect the young lady. He chose to follow His Royal Highness Prince Wu Ling.
When the truth is revealed, whichever young lady will lose her reputation, King Wu Ling and his wife can testify that he will definitely not be blamed!
This hunting plot is very important for enhancing the relationship between Lin Xiafeng and Ling Jingxuan.
Whether it was her calmness when she encountered the bandits yesterday, or her agility and charm among the flowers and butterflies in the valley, or what is about to happen today, when she accompanies those grown men on a hunting trip, she is just as heroic.
In short, every move she makes reveals one message, that is, she will outshine all other women and dazzle all other men.
It will make Prince Duan feel that this woman is indeed different from the coquettish and slutty women outside. As expected, she is worthy of being the woman I, Ling Jingxuan, like.
In short, it is a little love drama between the hero and heroine, which Qin Qingyao does not want to watch, although the heroine in the original book is very likable, and her character is indeed very strong, positive and hardworking.
She is also extremely witty in every way, which makes people admire her. However, she has been ambiguous with Dugu Yu from the beginning to the end. She clearly likes Prince Duan, but she never admits it.
She knew clearly that Dugu Yu liked her, but she kept talking about "good friends" and so on, and then used Dugu Yu to the point that not even a complete corpse was left. Therefore, no matter how good the heroine was, Qin Qingyao could not appreciate her.
I couldn't appreciate it when I read the novel, and I can't appreciate it even more now when I see it face to face.
As long as she has some self-awareness in the future and stops being a "good friend" with Dugu Yu, a married man, eating, drinking and confiding in each other in a small room, Qin Qingyao can completely ignore her.
Lu Qifeng followed Dugu Yu and Qin Qingyao. Coincidentally, the couple were walking hand in hand, and he was leading the horse behind them.
But at this moment, Lu Qifeng always felt uneasy, as if something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.
"Husband, that guy behind you is the one who asked you to go out and play yesterday, right? What's his name?"
"Lu Qifeng."
Lu Qifeng, this name sounds familiar.
"Is his father a lieutenant general?"
"Yes."
"Um, the general above his father, isn't his surname Sun, and is he stationed outside?"
"How do you know?"
"Didn't I tell you I know a lot?"
Qin Qingyao put a finger on her lips, frowned, and tried to search her mind for everything about Lu Qifeng. Why was she so impressed by him?
Because Lu Qifeng in the book, his fate took a 180-degree turn after this hunting trip. He went hunting with Prince Duan and others, and then the group of young ladies followed them.
One of them had little experience in horse riding and was frightened by a rabbit that suddenly jumped out and fell off her horse. Lu Qifeng happened to be nearby and hugged her.
Then, in public, everyone started to make a fuss, saying that he had to marry her. He did marry her, but the woman's family supported Prince Duan.
But although Lu Qifeng's father was not in General Yang's faction, he was actually the prince's man.
So, the woman finally replaced a letter that Lu Qifeng sent back from the base, giving the Lu family the wrong message. In short, a series of butterfly effects followed.
Not only did the Lu family fall, but even Lu Qifeng's father's superior, General Sun, was suspected of having evil intentions and was directly dismissed and investigated by the court.
The protagonist in the novel is Prince Duan, so this part is actually quite enjoyable.
Ling Jingxuan and Lin Xiafeng, with a little trick, easily killed a large group of the prince's loyalists and deposed a general who commanded 100,000 troops. Isn't this a win-win situation for everyone?
After General Sun was dismissed from his post, the person who replaced him was a former subordinate of General Gu. On the surface, he was loyal only to the emperor and would never form cliques, but secretly, he was definitely Prince Duan's man!
Lu Qifeng felt his scalp tingling because Qin Qingyao had been looking at him for a long time.
"Princess, why are you looking at me?"
Qin Qingyao pulled Dugu Yu's sleeve and said, "Husband, do you know how to do acupuncture?"
"Yes." How could he not know such a simple thing!
Qin Qingyao pointed at Lu Qifeng and said, "Click on him!"
Lu Qifeng's face was filled with horror, and his legs couldn't stop moving backwards. Although Dugu Yu frowned and showed some disapproval, he still nodded.
Lu Qifeng: “…”
He stood there unable to move, but he could still speak, "Princess, do you have any misunderstandings? I'm really not a bad person!"
Qin Qingyao looked around and saw a big tree. "Husband, move him down to a lower position than that tree."
They came out to catch chicks and rabbits, so they brought a lot of ropes.
Qin Qingyao took it without any regret, tied Lu Qifeng's hands and feet tightly, and tied him to the tree.
Lu Qifeng looked like he had lost all hope in life. No wonder he had been feeling depressed since just now. Why on earth had he bothered to disturb the loving relationship between a couple? This must be his retribution!
"Princess, I admit my mistakes, okay? Or should I go back hunting?"
Hearing this, Qin Qingyao waited for him to look at her, "I tied you up because I was afraid you would go back hunting!"
Dugu Yu, Lu Qifeng, "..."
"I ask you, answer me honestly!"
"yes!"
"Your father was a lieutenant general under General Sun. Where was he guarding?"
"It's the Jiayi Pass between China and Qi."
That’s right, it’s Chiayi Pass!
If Zhaoling State did not have Dugu Yu, it would have been just a second-rate country on par with Qi State.
Because of Dugu Yu, he managed to conquer another second-rate country next to him. The land area and population of Zhaoling Kingdom suddenly became comparable to the three major empires, and it became the fourth first-rate country today.
