Chapter 310: Let the Minister's Wife Compete in a Horse Riding Contest?
That day, Mo Qingkui suddenly ran to the hunting grounds crying.
But the matter was urgent at the time, and the plan had to be prioritized, so he didn't ask any further questions.
He had even more to face after falling off the cliff, so he completely forgot about it.
For some reason, it suddenly came to mind.
Qin Jiuwei paused upon hearing this question.
She didn't want to get entangled with Gao Xianduo.
But this was Mo Qingkui's fault, so why should she help her cover it up?
She's not that kind.
Qin Jiu turned around slightly, her expression still distant and indifferent.
"Your Majesty, Consort Chen suggested that the wives of ministers compete in horseback riding for amusement, and all the wives of ministers should participate."
"Among them, Lady Meng, the wife of the Vice Minister of the Court of Judicial Review, almost fell off her horse. As a result, my wife offended Consort Chen, which displeased Consort Chen."
"That's why Consort Chen went to the hunting grounds to see the Emperor, hoping that the Emperor would make a decision for her."
So that's how it is!
Gao Xian's expression revealed an undisguised shock.
To have the minister's wife compete in a horse riding contest?
These ladies, dressed in fine clothes and raised in seclusion, how many of them know how to ride a horse?
Mo Qingkui's suggestion was clearly a deliberate attempt to make things difficult for them.
Gao Xian's face immediately turned extremely ugly.
Mo Qingkui bullied Qin Le'an, perhaps because of him.
But why did she bully Qin Jiuwei and the ministers' wives?
or……
She is inherently a person who enjoys bullying the weak and innocent!
He always thought Mo Qingkui was the one being bullied, and he wanted to protect her.
Who would have thought that she was the one who bullied others!
Not far away, behind a thick tree.
A pair of eyes were watching them coldly.
Mo Qingkui stood there quietly.
Her face was pale, and her eyes were cold and dark.
He stared intently at Gao Xian and Qin Jiuwei in front of him.
She said, "How could Gao Xian possibly be angry with me over a few fruits!"
It turns out that it was that slut Qin Jiuwei who was scheming to seduce him!
His fingers clenched so tightly in her palm that his nails almost dug into her flesh.
A gloomy and resentful look appeared in Mo Qingkui's eyes.
As night fell, the small fire inside the cave burned brightly.
Xie Yanli carefully cleaned the wild rabbit he had hunted.
The sharp blade sliced through the rabbit's fur with swift and decisive movements.
The firelight illuminated his profile, revealing a focused expression in his eyes.
Qin Jiuwei sat by the fire, washed the mushrooms she had picked that afternoon, and carefully strung them together with twigs.
Place it above the fire to roast slowly.
Before long, the mushrooms and rabbit meat emitted an enticing aroma.
The warm light from the fire shone on Mo Qingkui's face as she looked at the rabbit meat in her hand, without taking a single bite.
His gaze would occasionally fall on Gao Xian beside him.
However, Gao Xian didn't even glance at her once from beginning to end.
His indifference was like a sharp blade, stabbing deeply into Mo Qingkui's heart, causing her unbearable pain.
Mo Qingkui clenched her sleeves, her heart churning with intense hatred and jealousy.
What exactly did Qin Jiuwei say to Gao Xian?
Gao Xian hasn't said a single word to her lately! That despicable woman, deliberately trying to sow discord!
Mo Qingkui's expression twisted, her nails digging deep into her palms, and the resentment in her eyes gradually swallowed up her originally delicate face.
tent.
Xie Jue sat quietly under the candlelight, her small figure silent.
"Third brother," Xie Jing called softly, taking a step closer to him.
Xie Jue turned her gaze to him.
Xie Jing stared in astonishment at his fair and clean face.
He had assumed that Xie Jue would throw a tantrum after his parents disappeared.
He was also prepared to spend a lot of time calming him down.
But unexpectedly... it wasn't necessary at all.
He didn't cry or make a scene.
My third brother has really grown up.
Although it is forced.
"Second brother, will Father and Mother come back?"
Xie Jue raised her little face and looked at Xie Jing, her voice filled with childlike earnestness.
Xie Jing nodded slowly, "Yes, it will definitely happen."
Hearing this, Xie Jue nodded vigorously.
He raised his hand to rub his eyes, and said in a low voice, "Then I'll wait for them to come back."
The lamplight flickered gently, concealing the tiny glimmer of tears in his eyes.
The next day, early morning.
The faint firelight reflected off Shen Xingjian's pale face.
The maid carefully placed a bowl of freshly brewed medicine aside.
"Madam, please rest. You haven't slept a wink all night. I'll stay here and keep watch over you," the personal maid whispered.
Jiang Yunzhu shook her head, her eyes fixed on Shen Xingjian's face.
"I won't feel at ease until he wakes up."
As they were talking, the person on the bed suddenly moved.
Jiang Yunzhu immediately held her breath.
She saw Shen Xingjian's brows furrow, and then he slowly opened his eyes.
"Husband? You're awake!"
Jiang Yunzhu suddenly rushed to the bedside, her voice filled with barely suppressed surprise.
Shen Xingjian's gaze was somewhat unfocused, but it quickly settled on her face.
He opened his mouth, his voice hoarse: "Yunzhu..."
Upon hearing his voice, Jiang Yunzhu's eyes welled up with tears.
Shen Xingjian wanted to raise his hand to comfort her, but found that his hand was still limp and powerless.
He frowned: "How long was I unconscious?"
