Chapter 358 Who is weak? !
Mo Li moved his stiff fingers and reached towards the bed.
Yuan Qing knew what he was looking for, so he fed him a spoonful of medicine and said, "I've already taken the mask from you. Now that you've revealed yourself, you don't have to hide anymore. Just stay in the yard and help me take care of the household. I happen to be short of people here."
Mo Li’s eyes suddenly widened.
"That's it." Yuan Qing fed him another spoonful. "Don't think too much. I have always respected you. This transfer is not because I don't trust you. On the contrary, I am now in the court and I need someone like you to help me establish my own family. I can feel at ease with you behind me. Come on, open your mouth."
Mo Li swallowed the medicine, and moisture quickly appeared in the corners of his eyes.
Then he felt it was really embarrassing for a grown man to do this, so he pretended nothing had happened and looked away.
Yuan Qing burst out laughing.
He and Ayi are indeed master and disciple. They are exactly the same in the way they pretend to be strong despite having so many flaws.
When Mo Li heard the young master's laughter, his ears turned red with embarrassment.
Yuan Qing laughed even more happily when he saw this.
This makes it more like it.
But Ayi is still young and not as thick-skinned as Li Shu. If he is teased a little, his entire neck will turn red.
Yuan Qing did not let Chunxue interfere in taking care of Mo Li, and strictly ordered the secret guards in the mansion to block the news and not let Yuan Yi know.
Chunxue felt guilty, and every day when she was cleaning the yard, she would pretend to glance into the house casually.
Mo Li sat on the bed and saw a figure pacing back and forth in the yard. He asked, "Shouldn't we ask her to come in?"
Yuan Qing stared at the medicine jar, not moving away for a moment.
She specially built a table for boiling medicine by the window, and the smell of medicine was mostly dissipated by the wind, so it was not so strong in the house.
"No, let her wait a little longer."
Mo Li sighed softly.
In fact, he wanted to tell the truth countless times since the day he woke up, but the young master refused to let him speak.
He didn't know why.
"You can tell me now." Yuan Qing turned around, "Her whereabouts, your injuries, and the things you and Gong Chan hid from me."
A hint of unnaturalness flashed across Mo Li's expression.
My young master...she already knows everything?
"What exactly are you afraid of me knowing?" Yuan Qing placed the small fan on his knees. "Perhaps there is nothing wrong with Kuang Ce's appearance, but he did not really show up. It's just a piece of news, right?"
"You guessed it right."
Gong Chan appeared outside the window.
As soon as she got the news that Kuang Ce had appeared that day, she rushed out, but halfway through she remembered that this might be a trick to lure the tiger away from the mountain, so she returned as quickly as possible.
Haruyuki was no longer in the mansion at that time.
She followed the marks left by Mo Li, but only found a seriously injured Mo Li, while Chun Xue was nowhere to be found.
At that time, Mo Li held on for a breath and pointed her in a direction.
She fed Mo Li a pill, hid him, and then continued to track Chun Xue's whereabouts.
Perhaps because he saw that she was chasing him closely, the man left Haruyuki behind and ran away alone.
"Do you know that person?"
"I'm not really sure, but his figure looks familiar."
Mo Li thought for a moment and said, “We didn’t mean to hide it from you. We just didn’t know how to bring it up with you. This matter is of great importance, so…”
Yuan Qing asked, "Did Chunxue mention anything to you?"
Both of them shook their heads.
In other words, the main problem still lies with Haruyuki.
This was also what Yuan Qing couldn't figure out before.
She didn't completely trust Haruyuki, but she didn't suspect her of having ulterior motives for everything either.
But with what happened that day, she had to be more careful.
Even if Haruyuki didn't do it on purpose, the person who held her hostage must have wanted to use her to gain something.
She treated Chunxue coldly these days just to show off to others.
……
Preparations for the winter hunt, originally scheduled for mid-November, had already begun.
The Imperial Astronomical Observatory chose a fine day with the sun shining brightly in the sky, and the emperor, led his civil and military ministers, and a group of people from aristocratic families to the Beiyang Hunting Ground, with the Dragon Scale Guards and the Imperial Guards guarding them.
The art of riding and archery is a compulsory course for children from aristocratic families.
Although some of them were not so proficient, they were still able to drive horses. Therefore, except for some women and people who were not suitable for strenuous work, most people still rode horses.
After recuperation, Wen Chengyu's body has improved a lot.
Yuan Qing rode up from behind and ran parallel to Jiang Qisheng, "I am not good at hunting, so I will rely on Lord Jiang for this court competition."
Jiang Qisheng looked back.
The other tribes all sent out young talents, who were obviously planning to show their abilities in this winter hunt.
Only five or six people came from their Dali Temple, and they were all weak and frail people.
Originally, there was Lu Zhao who could match him, but now he is the only one left, and the rest...
Yu Shen held the horse's neck tightly, propped up his head, and smiled at him.
Jiang Qisheng: "..."
Forget it, let’s just be at the bottom this year.
He turned his gaze back and asked, "You really can't shoot arrows?"
Yuan Qing patted the short knife in his boot and said, "Don't worry, I'm prepared. It's not like I didn't bring anything with me."
She didn't bring a bow and arrow, but she had a lot of tools for survival in the wild hidden in her bracelet.
Competition is not her goal, experiencing life is.
It was already late at night when we arrived at Beiyang Hunting Palace.
Beiyang Hunting Palace was built on Yunfeng Mountain. Across the mountain is Guiyuan Temple.
In the early years, Guiyuan Temple had demarcated its boundaries with the imperial court. To the west of the boundary was a hunting ground, while to the east was under the protection of Buddhism and killing was not allowed.
After a day's journey, everyone was tired and exhausted, so they ate something in a hurry and then rested.
Before dawn, a figure appeared in front of Yuan Qing's bed.
"It's time for morning exercise."
Yuan Qing pulled up a corner of the quilt to cover his head, and a muffled voice came from inside: "It's still early, let me sleep a little longer."
Gong Chan didn't indulge her, she used the blade of her sword to lift the quilt and said, "I told you that you can't miss a day of practice."
Yuan Qing knew how persistent Gong Chan was about this matter.
"Okay, okay. I'll get up."
She put on her clothes in a daze and tied the iron plates to her arms and calves.
Her task today is to climb the mountain.
Yunfeng Mountain is divided into inner mountain and outer mountain. People often come to the outer mountain, so the mountain road is not difficult to travel.
Yuan Qing wiped the sweat off her face and looked at Gong Chan who was walking with her in front of her. "Second sister, wait for me..."
Gong Chan stood up, a hint of smile in her indifferent eyes, "You are too weak."
"Who is weak?!" Yuan Qing gritted his teeth and rolled up his sleeves. "You said I was weak? Today I will make you see my iron will!"
Gong Chan raised her eyebrows slightly, stepped sideways and made way for the mountain road.
At this time, a faint light appeared on the horizon, and a faint golden halo spread over the rolling ridges.
There was a thin mist in the mountains. Yuan Qing rubbed his arms, which felt a little cold and numb, and tried to calm himself down.
"Let's go up quickly. Maybe we can see the beautiful scenery of Yunfeng Mountain before sunrise."
Inside the hunting palace.
Jiang Qisheng also got up early. The servant helped him wash and dress, and asked, "Sir, do you want to have breakfast now?"
"Please prepare some more and call the others over." Jiang Qisheng took the face towel, "I just have something to say to them."
The book boy went away as soon as he was told.
Not long after, Jiang Qisheng looked at the people who entered the room and asked, "Where is Gong Bin?"
Yu Shen rubbed his forehead and said, "I woke up vaguely in the early morning and seemed to hear some noise next door."
"What's that sound?"
"It should be the sound of talking." Yu Shen was uncertain, "It could also be the sound of a door closing."
"Never mind him, let's talk about our business first."
Another judge from the Dali Temple looked at him with a hint of resentment, "Master Jiang, look at us. Master Tang doesn't care about the ranking, so we don't have to..."
"It's one thing not to care about the ranking, but since you're here, you have to enter." Jiang Qisheng instructed, "There will be a lot of people and horses, and it's easy for something to go wrong. You either follow me closely or stay on the periphery to avoid getting lost in the mountains. Once I get you out, I have to--"
"Look what I brought back?"
A few people looked up and saw someone who had disappeared early in the morning standing at the door with a cloth bag in his arms, looking very interested.
Yuan Qing didn't care about other people's looks. He pulled a stool and sat down, then slowly opened the cloth bag.
"Look!"
Several people came over together.
There were five sleeping rabbit cubs lying in the cloth bag. Some of them were woken up and raised their heads with groans.
"How cute!" Yu Shen exclaimed, "Is this our lunch today?"
The rest of the people: “!!!”
