Chapter 128 I Want to Go Hunting
"Okay, you can go now, but make sure no one sees you here."
After the slender figure left, the woman slowly turned around.
A sinister smile appeared on her face.
"Vell, I've had a gentle pony prepared for you. You can try it out yourself."
"Your Highness, could you stay with me..."
"No."
Lu Hanting's face darkened. "Tomorrow is the day of the hunt. If you don't learn it, how will you go?"
Wu Weiwei frowned.
"His Majesty said that all women must learn to ride horses?"
This?
They didn't say that.
But he knew that in previous years, many of the women accompanying his ministers on hunts were capable of riding horses.
If Lu Hanting's woman doesn't know how, it would be a laughing stock.
He looked at Wu Weiwei and said, "If you learn to ride a horse today, I will reward you with a thousand taels of silver."
"Is Your Highness truly telling the truth?"
Upon hearing that there was money to be made, Wu Weiwei's eyes lit up immediately.
"a man of his words."
The Crown Prince promised.
"Okay, then I definitely want to ride it."
Wu Weiwei was really going all out for that thousand taels of silver.
Although she currently has 600,000 taels of silver on hand, she is not short of money.
But this money can't be spent easily. The sea route that Qingzhu was working on was missing a lot of money; it was a mountain of gold.
She'll earn whatever she can.
Seeing Wu Weiwei's greedy look, Lu Hanting laughed.
Sure enough, when it comes to tempting Wei'er, nothing is more tangible than giving her money.
"Someone, bring the horse over here."
This is a horse that Lu Hanting had someone pick out from the stable.
With a gentle temperament and a slightly smaller build than other horses, it was a perfect fit for Wu Weiwei, who was just starting out as a horse enthusiast.
Upon seeing the chestnut pony brought over by the servant, she took a deep breath.
Then he said to Lu Hanting, "Young Master, just wait and see how much silver you give me as a reward!"
Lu Hanting smiled and said, "Even though you want to make money, remember to be careful!"
Wu Weiwei gestured to him, and with the help of her attendants, she nimbly mounted her horse.
Watching her settle steadily on the horse, Lu Hanting smiled and walked out of the riding arena.
"You can loosen the reins now!"
Looking at the servant speaking with his head down, Wu Weiwei felt that he was acting strangely, but she didn't think much of it.
Soon, the attendant released the reins, and Wu Weiwei pushed off the horse's flanks and rode off.
"drive!"
Just then, Ru Feng rushed over and said, "Young Master, Miss Biao has something to discuss with you."
Lu Hanting frowned.
Vera is training her horse, and he has to stay here and keep an eye on her.
Did Yan'er say what it was about?
"Well, they didn't mention that..."
Lu Hanting watched as Wu Weiwei gradually increased her speed ahead; it seemed she had learned to control herself.
After giving some instructions to the attendant beside him, Lu Hanting turned around and was about to leave.
Just then, a commotion broke out at the horse farm.
"Your Highness, help me!"
As soon as Wu Weiwei uttered those words, the horse suddenly leaped up wildly.
Then it struggled violently, as if trying to shake off its restraints.
Wu Weiwei's face was deathly pale, and her hands, which were tightly gripping the reins, were already bleeding.
She was about to give up.
At that moment, she had only one thought in her mind: Who was it? Who wanted to harm her?
At the critical moment, Lu Hanting disregarded the danger and rushed towards Wu Weiwei.
He leaped forward and caught Wu Weiwei, who had just been thrown off the horse.
Just as the horse's hooves were about to trample them, Lu Hanting rolled around a few times to protect her, thus avoiding being trampled.
Wu Weiwei trembled and huddled in the prince's arms, pointing to the chestnut horse being dragged to the slaughterhouse by Ru Feng.
He said tremblingly, "Your Highness, this horse... this horse was just fine a moment ago, how could it suddenly go berserk?"
Is someone trying to harm Wei'er? Does someone want Wei'er dead...?
While the fear is real, the complaint is also real.
She almost lost her life just now.
This is definitely not a coincidence.
Lu Hanting's face was ashen.
"Wei'er, it's alright now, you're fine."
Don't worry, I'll investigate this matter thoroughly and give you an explanation!
Seeing his reaction, Wu Weiwei could only nod.
If it really was the female lead who did it, I wonder if the prince will be biased and not punish her.
Qiu Xinyuan.
He Yuyan's eyelids have been twitching non-stop today.
She just sent Moyu to Qingsong Courtyard to invite the young master.
But the prince hasn't come over yet. Could it be that he's discovered what I did?
Just as He Yuyan was losing patience, Lu Hanting finally arrived.
"Your Highness, Yan'er thought you weren't coming?"
At this moment, Mo Yu served tea, and He Yuyan got up and personally handed the tea to Lu Hanting.
"I had something to take care of, so I'm late."
Lu Hanting was somewhat irritated because Wu Weiwei almost fell off her horse and got injured.
Just now, Ru Feng went to investigate and found a clue.
It seems that someone tampered with the horse's food. Who could possibly want to harm Vera?
Ru Feng and his team dissected the horse.
A small amount of undigested lemongrass was found in the horse's stomach.
The medicinal properties of lemongrass are very strong; just a small amount can make a horse become agitated and restless.
This herb originated from the Nanzhao Kingdom.
The Nanzhao Kingdom was located at the southernmost edge of the Great Wei, bordering Chulong Prefecture, and Tongzhou was adjacent to Chulong Prefecture.
Yan'er, on the other hand, is a doctor.
The doctor had just returned from Tongzhou with a large quantity of medicinal herbs.
Besides making horses frenzied, this lemongrass also...
After being processed into traditional Chinese medicine, it becomes a medicine that can calm the nerves.
Who traveled all the way to the Great Wei and then fed it to the horses in his mansion?
Lu Hanting looked at He Yuyan.
She looked at him with a puzzled expression.
"Your Highness, why are you looking at me like that? Is there something on my face?"
Although He Yuyan felt a little flustered inside while being stared at like that by Lu Hanting, she did not show any unusual expression on her face.
Will not.
Yan'er is kind-hearted and also a doctor who saves lives.
Although she had been thinking about sending Wei'er away a couple of days ago, her intentions were perfectly open and aboveboard.
She probably wouldn't do anything to kill someone.
"It's nothing, you just look a little pale."
Is it because there are too many things going on at Weiyuan that you can't handle it all?
If you're really too busy, I'll have Butler Fu find someone to help you.
Hearing that the young master wanted to find someone to help her, He Yuyan felt a little comforted.
"No need, I can manage."
What Wu Weiwei can do, she can do too.
Hearing that she could handle it, Lu Hanting naturally didn't force her any further.
"By the way, you just had Rufeng call me over. What did you want to talk to me about?"
When this matter was brought up, He Yuyan hesitated, looking as if she was reluctant to speak.
"Yan'er, you should understand me. Just tell me what's on your mind!"
If I could do it, I would definitely agree.
Upon hearing this, He Yuyan pursed her lips and after a long while said:
"Your Highness, I wish to go hunting in Qingshan tomorrow..."
