Chapter 424 Hunting Ground

Chu Qingmeng nodded without saying anything else. It was almost noon, and the food had already been prepared in the palace at the Imperial Horse Farm. After lunch, everyone returned to the observation deck.

There was only one activity in the afternoon, which was hunting. Almost half of the men present had gone, leaving only some older civil servants who were not good at riding and shooting to accompany the emperor.

"Ajin, aren't you going?" Chu Qingmeng looked at Mo Liujin who was still peeling the jade fruit for her.

"We old guys shouldn't get involved in the activities of young people." Mo Liujin only peeled two or three and then stopped. He had just had lunch, so it would be better to let her just taste it.

Chu Qingmeng lowered his head and suppressed his laughter, "Old man..."

Mo Liujin wiped his hands with a wet handkerchief and glanced at her sideways, then leaned over to whisper in her ear, "I'm just old in age and appearance, as for the rest of me, isn't it clear to Madam?"

"..."

Driving again! Driving again! Chu Qingmeng's face was almost buried in the teacup. Fortunately, she was used to his behavior, so her face didn't flush violently, but only slightly.

Xia Zhi behind him: "..."

It's rare to see a son-in-law who is so coquettish.

Mo Liuyun was playing chess with Chu Ci in the main seat of the observation deck. Every time they made a move, someone would take a large chess piece and place it on the large chessboard on the wall.

The two players ended in a draw for two consecutive games.

Chu Qingmeng raised an eyebrow. Oh, there's someone who can tie with Eleven? Amazing!

Another game, another draw.

"..."

"..."

The two people playing chess looked at each other and saw helplessness in each other's eyes. Neither of them could beat the other.

This chess game is boring!

Mo Liuyun glanced at Chu Qingmeng who was eating hawthorn pills in the audience. It was still interesting to play chess with Chujiu. It had been a long time since he played chess with her.

Chu Ci followed Mo Liuyun's gaze and saw Chu Qingmeng. His brows furrowed slightly, then relaxed. At her age, she's not even as old as Cheng'an, right? Why did she marry that old bastard Mo Liujin?

"Ajin, when will today's activities end?" Chu Qingmeng was already getting annoyed.

Mo Liujin knew that she couldn't sit still any longer, so he patted her back soothingly, "It will be over soon. It will be over when the hunters come back."

Chu Qingmeng shrank like a deflated balloon and no longer wanted to participate in these activities! If only he had listened to Wen Zhong and stayed at the farm!

Chu Qingmeng was still feeling anxious when news came from the hunting team that something had happened. Qi Xiuheng and Jin Huaian were injured, and Jiang Li was also injured while saving Jin Huaian.

When something like this happened, everyone was sent home early, leaving only some important ministers to help deal with the matter, and all the imperial doctors were mobilized.

Chu Qingmeng, who had known something was going to happen, was yawning in the carriage. As expected, Mo Liujin was left behind.

"Master, Seventeen is definitely going to die this time." Xia Zhi picked up the teapot on the small table and poured a cup of tea for Chu Qingmeng.

"Well, except for Seventeen, I'm afraid it will be quiet for a while." Chu Qingmeng took the tea bowl and took a sip. "How are Nineteen and Jin Seven injured?"

"Don't worry, Master. That madman is very capable. He was the only one who killed the wild wolf. How could the wild wolf hurt him? It's just some superficial wounds, just to scare people." Xia Zhi took the tea bowl from Chu Qingmeng's hand and put it back on the small table. "Jin Qi's Qinggong is comparable to that of my brother, so naturally he can't be hurt much."

"That's good."

Seeing Chu Qingmeng closing his eyes and wanting to sleep, Xia Zhi opened his mouth and closed it again. Nineteen and Jin Qi were injured just because they were following orders, but Mo Jiangli was really seriously injured. However, since his master didn't ask, he didn't mention it.

Chu Qingmeng was already fast asleep when they returned to the mansion. Xia Zhi didn't dare wake her up. Jiu Ye had been busy all this time, and she had only just stopped taking the medicine, so she should sleep as much as she could. He took the blanket Chun He had prepared long ago and covered Chu Qingmeng with it, then sat cross-legged in front of the car door, closing his eyes to rest.

The two brothers who had just returned from patrolling the camp looked at Feiying standing beside the carriage in confusion, "Uncle Ying, it's already evening, is Mother still going out?"

"Young Master." Feiying bowed slightly, "I wasn't going out, but when I came back, the master was asleep."

Mo Jiangche frowned. It was late autumn now, and his mother was in poor health. She might catch a cold. He stepped into the carriage to take the person out, but Chu Qingmeng woke up with a start as he opened the carriage door.

Seeing that it was Jiang Che, Chu Qingmeng relaxed and closed his eyes again, trying to calm his frightened heart.

"Mother," Xia Zhi made way for Mo Jiangche, who entered the carriage and sat next to Chu Qingmeng. "If you feel uncomfortable, your son will carry you down."

Chu Qingmeng waved his hand and sat up again. "It's okay. I was just startled by you just now. Let's go."

At Chu Qingmeng's speed, it was already 11:00 PM when he reached the main courtyard, so he went straight to the restaurant for dinner.

"Qihua, what's wrong with you lately? You don't look good." Chu Qingmeng looked at Xu, who usually looked good, but seemed to be in a daze since she became pregnant. "Have you seen the court doctor? What's wrong?"

Li saw a trace of worry flash across Xu's face. As a woman herself, she understood her dilemma.

"Mother, it's really nothing. I just feel uncomfortable during pregnancy. I didn't get enough rest." Mrs. Xu still made the excuse that it was discomfort during pregnancy.
