One more chance to ask a question!!!
The eldest prince and the second prince were shocked.
The originally cold body was suddenly filled with fiery fighting spirit.
Previously, the two of them only used one question to dig out two major facts: the eldest prince was still wetting the bed at the age of nine and the second prince had a crush on Concubine Mu.
There are still two precious opportunities left to ask questions, and the princes cherish them very much, intending to save them for use in critical situations in the future.
Now, Guiren Ji actually said, the first person to finish the run can ask one more question?
As Wu Qing finished his words, the princes rushed out like wild horses that had broken free from their reins.
The two children were like crazy, chasing each other, becoming a beautiful scenery in the prince's residence.
The palace maid passing by stared at the scene in a daze, and it took a while before she screamed in horror.
"Your Highnesses, what are you doing?! What if you stumble and fall on yourself?!!"
Wu Qing followed the prince for a morning run. When he heard the scream, he patted the maid's shoulder and gently comforted her, "Don't worry, I'm following them. I promise nothing will happen to them."
This palace maid, whose psychological defenses were very low, continued to scream.
"Your Excellency, that's easy for you to say! The princes are all of royal blood, and are extremely noble. If something goes wrong, or they get hurt, there will be no way for us servants to survive!"
"Your Excellency, please think of a way quickly and persuade the princes not to run away again." The palace servants were as anxious as ants on a hot pan and kept urging.
Wu Qing sighed, grabbed her hand, and half-dragged her to run together.
"Afraid of death? I'll teach you a trick."
"Just run with me and pretend to be desperately trying to stop the princes. That way, even if something happens to the princes, you will have left a trace of your work and you won't lose your head for dereliction of duty."
"When the emperor blames you, you put all the blame on me."
Wu Qing said it lightly, but the palace maids were terrified when they heard it.
But seeing that Wu Qing looked confident, the palace maid had no choice but to bite the bullet and run after her.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, I beg you, please don't run away!"
The palace maid was shouting weakly behind.
The eldest prince and the second prince turned a deaf ear to this.
It's not that they can't hear.
But now, all their attention is focused on the road beneath their feet, and they have no time to care about these things.
The area of the prince's playground was neither big nor small. Running twenty laps was about two kilometers, which is equivalent to five laps of a modern playground.
If he is a middle school student who is used to slacking off, like Wu Qing in the past, he can run five laps around the playground without blushing or getting nervous.
However, for the princes, this first morning run was obviously a big challenge.
In order to seize the opportunity to ask questions, they started running at the speed of a 100-meter sprint.
At this speed, when they ran to the tenth lap, their steps began to become heavy and their breathing became rapid.
The cold wind made their faces hurt and their throats felt cold and painful.
Every step I take feels like a thousand pounds of weight is pressing on my feet.
The eldest prince and the second prince usually live a life of luxury and have never experienced such hardship, so they both felt like retreating.
Lady Ji has been following them. If they just tell her, they should be able to stop their morning exercise.
The two of them looked back involuntarily, with a hint of astonishment in their eyes.
The slender Concubine Ji still looked calm and walked lightly, as if this morning jog was a piece of cake for her.
"What's wrong, Your Highness?" Wu Qing asked with a smile, not seeming tired at all. "There are still ten laps to go, you won't be unable to run anymore, right?"
The two turned around and gritted their teeth.
It would be too embarrassing to back down halfway!
Fight for that opportunity!
The palace maid following Wu Qing noticed the weak expressions of the princes.
She said anxiously, "My lord, I see that the princes are very tired. Why not let them rest before running again?"
Wu Qing did not respond immediately, but asked: "Are you tired?"
The maid shook her head.
Wu Qing looked at him deeply and said, "You don't feel tired yet, but the princes can't run anymore. Have you ever thought about the reason?"
"It just shows that you are too nice to them!" she said firmly.
The palace maid was shocked by these thought-provoking words.
Wu Qing said solemnly: "The reason why they can't run is because they don't exercise enough on weekdays. If they can't run, they can't fight. If they can't fight, they can't defend the country. If they can't defend the country, the Chen Kingdom will perish."
"From this perspective, you are the sinners who destroyed our country!"
The maid was shocked.
"What should we do? I don't want to be a sinner!" The maid ran while crying.
[…No way, you can even fool me with this? ]
[It seems that the nine-year compulsory education system for the harem will also be put on the agenda. 】
Wu Qing said: "Of course, you will supervise the princes with me from now on!"
Her tone was full of encouragement and expectation: "I am just a counselor, playing a role in the general direction. You have to implement the specific details."
"Believe me, your dedication and persistence will bring a better future for the princes. Come on, I'm counting on you!"
Wu Qing's expression was very upright.
The palace maid who was successfully fooled nodded heavily, as if she had seen the princes growing up healthily.
"Don't worry, my lord. I will do my best to urge the princes to strictly follow the schedule. No matter whether it is studying or exercising, there will be no slacking off!"
Hearing these words, the eldest prince suddenly felt very desperate.
Is it inevitable to do this kind of morning exercise every day from now on?
There are still three laps left, which seems like a long and endless journey.
The legs of the eldest prince and the second prince felt as heavy as if they were filled with lead.
Wu Qing blew the whistle again, and the crisp sound pierced the sky and echoed in the empty field.
"Three laps left!" she reminded.
The second prince suddenly opened his mouth, roared loudly, and suddenly accelerated and rushed out.
He must get the chance to ask questions!
[…Xiong Er, there’s no need to be like this.] Wu Qing didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
The eldest prince was full of questions: ???
What the hell is wrong with you, second brother?
He stretched out his legs, which were obviously longer than his brother's, accelerated, and approached the figure in front step by step.
"Can you... still hold on?" The eldest prince panted, with a hint of provocation in his voice.
The second prince's breathing became heavier, but he managed a cold smile: "Only three laps... You won't... fail, right?"
"Come on... let's see who will get the chance to ask one more question in the end..."
The two people's eyes collided fiercely in the air, as if to create sparks.
When there were only ten meters left to the finish line, the princes' vision began to be filled with a hazy white light.
They didn't run often, and the long period of gasping with their mouths open made their throats filled with a strong smell of blood.
Ten meters, nine meters, eight meters... With every step forward, the finish line seems to be within reach, yet out of reach.
There is hope ahead.
The eldest prince relied on his longer legs than his younger brother's and left the second prince three meters behind.
And a little bit... a little bit...
The eldest prince dragged his limp legs, covered his aching stomach, and ran forward weakly.
The second prince stretched out his trembling hands behind him, trying to grab the corner of the eldest prince's clothes, but he could only touch empty air.
The eldest prince gasped for breath and tried his best to speed up his sprint, but his body had reached its limit.
Just then, a lithe figure came rushing from behind them.
A scent passed by the tip of the prince's nose, and the eldest prince watched Wu Qing catch up from behind them and cross the finish line at an incredible speed.
"Oh, it looks like I'm the champion of this morning run."
"I'm sorry, Your Highnesses, you've lost the opportunity to ask me one more question."
Wu Qing announced cruelly.
