He suddenly remembered, he wanted to go to Wu Ling's place to take a look, but since Lian Yun had gone out to help her arrange clothes, she did not let the servants pass down the news.

"Cough, cough …" It was only when they arrived at the entrance that a servant came to inform them that they could hear coughing sounds coming from within the room. They could not help but feel somewhat worried.

"You're here." Wu Ling's voice came from inside, she was obviously weak.

"You don't have to blame yourself." It was obvious that he had seen through her thoughts and had instead comforted her. She had long since gotten used to her body, and in the few days she had been here, she had indeed been very happy.

"I heard that you're going hunting with the Emperor in two days." Wu Ling coughed lightly and changed the topic.

Shen Qingwan also realized that she did not want to talk about it anymore, so she did not pursue the matter any further. She looked up and smiled, the worry on her face seemed to have disappeared as she said, "Yes, I've already asked Lian Yun to prepare clothes."

Mo Lan knew what she meant, so she turned around and left, closing the door behind him as he guarded the entrance.

"You must be extra cautious when you head there. You can't be as cautious as you were in the general's manor before, especially now, when you're in the imperial palace." Wu Ling's words made a complicated look flash across her eyes. Previously, she was too focused on happiness that she forgot about it. Now that she brought it up, her mind became clear.

Seeing that she understood her intention, he then continued, "As far as I know, other than the Ninth Prince, there are also people from the Liu Family. You must pay attention to these two things."

Surprise flashed past his eyes, only to see that the person on the bed had already closed his eyes. She seemed to have underestimated her. She thought that they would be separated from the harem in the courtyard, but she didn't expect her to know about it so clearly.

"Thank you very much." He thanked them and retracted the expression in his eyes. How many people in the harem could really not know anything? On the other hand, she appreciated this exquisite mindset of hers that knew everything but never changed.

After she left, Wu Ling opened her eyes again. Worry could be seen in her eyes. She had said everything she needed to say. She hoped that nothing would happen to her.

The hunt was divided into two stages, one before noon, one after noon, and there would be a banquet in the evening.

Other than the three of them, there were also two women. One was said to be a princess, and the other was the only daughter of a minister.

"My beloved concubine, you have to hurry. Don't fall off your horse." Fu Yuheng rode over to her side with a slight smile in his eyes.

Li Ruotong and Xiao Shushen had both participated in hunting before, so it was not a problem for him to know that as well. However, it was her first time participating in hunting, so he did not know much about her riding skills either.

Shen Qingwan faintly smiled. She was quite confident in her riding skills. "Your Majesty, just watch and see." With a rather confident reply, her eyes were filled with determination.

"Let's go."

Soon, the hunt began, and the sound of horses galloping could be heard as a team of men charged into the forest.

There were already many small prey in the forest, but there were no large sized ferocious beasts, so it was much more reassuring. Moreover, no one wanted to go into the depths of the forest.

Shen Qingwan did not show any signs of weakness as she followed, seeing a rabbit leap in front of her. After slowing down, the rabbit stopped and turned back to look at her. At that moment, Shen Qingwan was pulled out an arrow, and shot from the bow.

With a sneer, he rode his horse forward and sure enough, the rabbit was no longer moving.

Naturally, there would be people after the prey was caught, so she didn't need to bring it with her to search for the next target.

After walking around, she bumped into a member of the Liu Family. When she raised her head, she saw that person sneering at her. She could not help but feel uneasy. She remembered what Wu Ling said to her before and made up her mind to go in the opposite direction.

In this forest, if there were any mishaps, then once it was an accident, the matter could only be left unsettled. Moreover, she was a woman, so it was better for her to avoid it.

The wobbly hunt passed and time was up. Shen Qingwan also rushed out of the hunting grounds. When she got out of the field, it was obvious that most of the people were already there.

"As expected of the beloved concubine. She's so heroic and unyielding." Fu Yuheng held a rabbit in his hand and threw it beside her horse. The arrow on the rabbit was the one that marked her.

Shen Qing Wan laughed, seeing that Fu Huaiyu had also walked over.

When Fu Yuheng saw her frown, he turned around and looked behind her as well. He then saw that person walking over with a smile that was not a smile.

"Concubine Xian is truly amazing, causing this king to have a whole new level of respect for him." These words caused the expressions of both of them to change. If Shen Qingwan had a look of astonishment on her face, then Fu Yuheng was furious.

What did he mean? Looking at the person in front of him who had no sense of touch, she had a new thought about him.

"I imagine that Ninth Brother must have gained quite a bit today." Fu Yuheng narrowed his eyes, a complicated look in his eyes. "Don't let others see you as a joke when the time comes."

Fu Huaiyu played with the fan in his hand, and shook his head, "This king has only come here to play, how can I let others see me as a joke?"

To him, this match didn't have any meaning at all. It just happened to suit his interests. Moreover, his prey wasn't in the forest today.

He gave Shen Qingwan a meaningful look before turning around and leaving.

This glance was coincidentally caught by Fu Yuheng's eyes. It was as if there was a ball of mist in his heart, causing him to feel both puzzled and furious.
