Chapter 126 The Emperor Without an Heir VS The Delicate Young Marquis (Thirty-Six)



Jiang Jingyue looked at Fei Leng pitifully. Fei Leng couldn't stand Jiang Jingyue's gaze and couldn't help but reach out and cover her eyes.

"Xiao Jing, don't worry. Although you can't eat these, you can definitely eat the other things. I've already had the imperial kitchen staff study them carefully, and they're sure to be delicious. Don't worry!"

Even though Fei Leng said that, Jiang Jingyue still threw a tantrum.

She glanced at Fei Leng, snorted coldly, and immediately turned her head away.

Fei Leng couldn't stand it when Jiang Jingyue ignored him, so when he saw Jiang Jingyue's expression, he panicked immediately.

"Xiao Jing, don't be like this. Be a good girl and listen to me. I'll take you with me when we go hunting in a few days, okay?"

Upon hearing Fei Leng's words, Jiang Jingyue's eyes lit up immediately. She had never seen a royal hunt before and had no idea what it was like.

She turned around instantly, her eyes sparkling as she looked at Fei Leng in front of her.

"Your Majesty, are you serious? You really want to take me with you, and you won't refuse me again because of my pregnancy, will you?"

Upon hearing Jiang Jingyue's words, Fei Leng couldn't help but awkwardly touch his nose.

Because what Jiang Jingyue said really sounded like something he would do, it has to be said that Jiang Jingyue understands him very well now.

"Xiao Jing, I assure you this time that I am not lying to you. Anyway, it's today. I will definitely take you with me. Just like when we went to war, we will go hunting together."

What Fei Leng said did indeed pique Jiang Jingyue's interest, so she nodded eagerly.

"Your Majesty, then I will trust you this time. If you don't take me with you then, I will ignore you."

Before she knew it, it was hunting season. Today was also the day Wu Jing was to come out. She had someone help her get ready and then went to Fei Leng's palace.

She knew it was hunting season and the Emperor would definitely bring one of his concubines. In previous years, it was always her, and she was sure it would be her this year too. So, as soon as she finished getting ready, she rushed over.

But to her surprise, as soon as she mentioned this matter to the Emperor, he rejected her without hesitation.

"Your Majesty, why? In previous years, I always accompanied you. Why can't I go with you this year?"

Wu Jing's eyes widened in disbelief, and she almost jumped up.

Fei Leng looked up and gave Wu Jing a cool glance, then lowered his head again to deal with his business.

"I plan to take Consort Jing with me this time, so you don't need to come along."

Upon hearing Fei Leng's words, Wu Jing was stunned and murmured to herself.

"Consort Jing, it's Consort Jing again. I won't let her get away with this."

Seeing her rambling on and on, and knowing that he seemed to hear her talking about Jiang Jingyue, Fei Leng couldn't help but ask. He knew that Fei Leng wouldn't let anything related to Jiang Jingyue go unnoticed.

"What did you say? What happened to Consort Jing?"

Wu Jing instinctively covered her mouth and immediately shook her head. She hadn't expected that she would accidentally blurt out her true feelings. Fortunately, the Emperor didn't hear it.

"No, Your Majesty must have misheard. Since Your Majesty has already decided to have Consort Jing accompany you on the hunt, I will not disturb you any longer. I will take my leave now."

Fei Leng didn't look up at Wu Jing again until she reached the door.

Back in her palace, Wu Jing was completely devastated. She smashed everything she could in the palace, but the anger inside her was still burning and she couldn't let it go.

"Granny Wu, tell me why? What is wrong with me? Why can't the Emperor see my good points? I don't care, this Consort Jing cannot be allowed to live."

"Isn't the Emperor going hunting with her? Have our men lie in ambush around the hunting grounds and find an opportunity to kill her."

Hearing Wu Jing say this, Granny Wu hesitated, mainly because the hunting grounds were heavily guarded and it wasn't so easy to get in.

"Your Majesty, that place is not so easy to enter. It is possible that our people will be discovered before they even get in."

Wu Jing won't listen to anything now; she just wants to get rid of Jiang Jingyue, and no one can stop her.

"How can you not know it won't work if you haven't tried? Send all our people in. I refuse to believe that a single secret guard can't infiltrate a few people."

Since Wu Jing had said so, Granny Wu had no choice but to comply. Otherwise, if Wu Jing went crazy, it would be the servants who would suffer.

"Yes, Your Majesty! I will do it right away and guarantee to complete the task assigned by Your Majesty. Your Majesty, please rest assured!"

Meanwhile, Jiang Jingyue was still struggling with which hunting outfit to wear. Fei Leng had sent over a lot of hunting outfits, and she was getting a little overwhelmed by the choices.

"Dong'er, which one do you think looks better?"

Jiang Jingyue really didn't know which one to choose, so she had to ask Dong'er to help her.

After looking around, Dong'er finally helped Jiang Jingyue choose a hunting outfit that didn't look too complicated and was quite nice.

Looking at the hunting outfit, Jiang Jingyue nodded, finally feeling less conflicted.

"My lady, let me help you get ready and dress up nicely. You'll definitely charm the Emperor later."

Seeing Dong'er's teasing expression, Jiang Jingyue couldn't help but glare at her before laughing and speaking.

"You! You've got some nerve, daring to tease your master. I'll have the Emperor arrange for you to marry off to Guard Jiang, so you won't have the chance to tease your master anymore."

Dong'er blushed instantly and glanced at Jiang Jingyue somewhat shyly.

"Master, what are you saying? Guard Jiang... he might not even like me."

Seeing her like this, Jiang Jingyue almost couldn't help but laugh. Life in the harem was too boring. When there was nothing to do, watching the little guards and maids fall in love was actually a way to relieve boredom.

"Then you need to be more proactive, otherwise you'll end up crying to someone else who will snatch it away."

Dong'er was stunned for a while before she came to her senses. She looked at Jiang Jingyue with a determined gaze.

“Master, you are right. I will go to him tonight and ask him what happened.”

Jiang Jingyue nodded immediately and looked at Dong'er with a light smile.

"Dong'er, when you go tonight, tell your master so he can help you dress up. He'll definitely charm your little guard."

Upon hearing Jiang Jingyue's words, Dong'er became even more embarrassed, and she quickly helped Jiang Jingyue tidy up.
