Chapter 125 Something is wrong with the King of Qi
Concubine Hua left the palace overnight and went to Prince Qi's mansion. When she saw Prince Qi lying on the bed with a face as pale as paper again, she almost didn't recognize that this was her son.
In just two days, the King of Qi had lost a lot of weight visibly. He lay on the bed with his eyes closed. There was a dark spot under his eyes and his cheeks were sunken.
It was as if a very vital plant withered overnight.
“How could this be, how could this be…” Concubine Hua was almost heartbroken to see her son become like this.
She might have been angry before, but this was her biological son, how could she not feel sorry for him?
At this moment, Concubine Hua suddenly remembered what Wen Ling said to her that day: "The King of Qi is not in a good condition. If you need anything, come to the Wanshiwu to find me."
Concubine Hua's heart skipped a beat. She was now certain that something had definitely happened to her son, and the solution did not lie with her son.
Because of the incident between Prince Qi and Wen Yao, the royal hunting party became a large-scale spectacle.
Everyone's attention was not on hunting, but on eating melons.
All kinds of news were flying around, becoming more and more outrageous.
There are even rumors that the Wen family originally wanted Wen Ling to marry Prince Qi, but Prince Qi was unwilling, so he married Wen Ling to Prince Chen.
The King of Qi likes Wen Yao, and Wen Ling is jealous, so she takes the opportunity of the royal hunting to frame Wen Yao.
However, Prince Chen has fallen deeply in love with Wen Ling. Even if Wen Ling did bad things, he would tolerate her unconditionally and even threatened to die with his own illness.
This rumor hadn't been circulating for long when another rumor appeared.
This version of the rumor is even more outrageous. It says that the King of Qi disliked Wen Ling because she was stupid and abandoned by the Wen family, and was unwilling to marry her, so he chose the smart and beautiful Wen Yao.
As a result, during the royal hunting trip, she found that Wen Ling had become smarter and more beautiful than Wen Yao after marriage, so she regretted her decision and began to express her affection for Wen Ling again. Then she was discovered by Wen Yao, who became jealous and framed Wen Ling, which triggered a series of events later.
In short, there are all kinds of rumors, including one about a love triangle and another about two princes fighting over a woman.
Anyway, it was very exciting. Everyone in the royal hunt was jumping up and down like wild animals in a melon field.
Of course, these different versions of the rumors eventually reached the emperor's ears.
The emperor was already upset, and these things made him even more upset.
He also lost interest in hunting, and after placing a bet on the next hunting project, he returned to the palace early.
Originally, the royal hunting was a party where everyone wanted to show off in front of the emperor, but now that the emperor has returned to the palace, no one is interested anymore.
After the emperor left, everyone left in twos and threes, and the royal hunting ended early.
Wen Ling and Gu Chenran left the day after the incident. Gu Chenran had a "bad heart" and needed to rest, so he was not suitable to continue hunting.
The emperor allowed him to leave directly. The emperor also gave him a lot of supplements and asked Gu Chenran to go back and rest well.
As the only person walking in front of the emperor, no one had any objections.
Gu Chenran and Wen Ling did not leave empty-handed. He also collected some of the prey that everyone hunted yesterday, specifically those that were injured or captured but still alive.
Gu Chenran specially opened up a place in the backyard of Prince Chen's Mansion, where he raised the wild deer, rabbits, sheep, and even wild boars in different categories and had special people to take care of them.
Because of the formation set up by Wen Ling, Prince Chen's Mansion can continuously absorb the surrounding spiritual energy.
No matter how scarce the spiritual energy is, it can accumulate into a large amount over time.
The injuries of the wild animals raised in the backyard healed almost completely overnight without any medical treatment.
The next day, when Gu Chenran brought Wen Ling to the backyard to choose one or two ingredients to grill in the front yard, all the wild animals in the yard were already jumping around and relaxing their vigilance in the comfortable environment.
When they saw Wen Ling, they took the initiative to come over and circle around her affectionately.
There was also a silly roe deer that didn't look very smart at first glance, and it even took the initiative to rub Wen Ling's hand with its head.
After finishing these, Wen Ling and Gu Chenran looked at each other. After a while, Wen Ling asked first, "Which one do you think we should eat first?"
Gu Chenran: "...I think the roe deer that rubbed your hand first is pretty good."
He hasn't even rubbed Wen Ling's hand yet, and that stupid roe deer actually dared to rub it. He'll eat it first!
The silly roe deer instinctively sensed the danger. When it saw Gu Chenran's cold gaze, it actually took three steps back in a very human way.
Wen Ling was amused: "No, this silly roe deer looks like it has some human qualities. If it has some human qualities, we can't eat it."
Gu Chenran felt regretful. If he had known, he would not have said anything. Unexpectedly, by some strange combination of circumstances, this silly roe deer escaped the disaster.
Wen Ling looked at the hares in the corner: "Those gray rabbits are also very cute."
Gu Chenran nodded, thinking that girls really do prefer small animals like rabbits.
Unexpectedly, Wen Ling's next sentence was: "It must be delicious if it is braised or grilled!"
Gu Chenran: “Ah?”
Wen Ling was amused by Gu Chenran's silly and cute reaction.
She laughed for a while and then explained, "Because of all the animals here, only those few rabbits have not shown any human nature, and rabbits reproduce quickly, so it's not a pity to eat a few of them."
Gu Chenran hesitated for a moment, looked at Wen Ling's saliva, and asked very seriously: "Isn't it because the spicy rabbit head is delicious?"
Wen Ling: “…”
It seems that the news that she ate eight spicy rabbit heads in one breath during the royal hunting trip had indeed reached Gu Chenran's ears.
That night, Gu Chenran and Wen Ling took twelve wild rabbits to Gu Chenran's maternal grandfather's house to eat roasted rabbits and drink wine with his grandfather and uncles.
Gu Chenran also thoughtfully brought along a newly hired chef who was great at cooking delicious rabbit.
Speaking of Prince Chen's Mansion now, apart from the personal maids and guards, the people with the highest status are the chefs.
The more chefs get bonuses, the more Wen Ling praises a dish. The chef who cooks this dish that night will receive a reward from Gu Chenran.
Others go out with guards, but the Prince goes out with a chef.
Gu Chenran's maternal grandparents' house has changed a lot since Wen Ling and the others came seven days ago.
Before, the entire sky above my grandparents’ house was shrouded in a layer of bad luck. Whenever you got close to it, you would feel dark and sticky, as if there was something wet. Ordinary people would feel uncomfortable when they got close to it.
It’s different now. Today is a sunny day. The bright and dazzling sunlight shines straight down and shines on the lintel of my grandparents’ house, shining brightly, creating a scene full of vitality.
The old butler stood at the door. His brow, which was originally dark, now had a rosy complexion and he looked ten years younger.
He walked out of the mansion enthusiastically to welcome you, saying, "We heard that you were coming, so the master and the others have been waiting inside!"
