However, this autumn outing probably can't compare to the comfort of modern life.

With so many high-ranking officials and nobles, even the princesses and princes find it boring.

But he had no choice but to participate, so when he had nothing else to do, he used his psychic abilities to observe the surrounding activity.

Qi Wei and Murong Yudie in front kept glancing at Han Zixuan behind them.

The two then revealed smug smiles.

Inside a luxurious car in the middle of the procession, hushed conversations could be heard!

An eighteen or nineteen-year-old girl with delicate features, dressed in a clean and neat plain-colored ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress).

A silver hairpin was inserted diagonally into her hair bun. She was focused when doing things, and spoke softly to her master who was resting with his eyes closed.

"Master... you didn't actually need to come to the autumn hunt!"

King Qi Feng Li sat upright on the brocade cushion, his black hair loosely tied up, and the floral decoration on his forehead half-hidden in the shadow.

She wore a plain white brocade robe embroidered with a dark silver dragon pattern, and her long eyelashes drooped down.

His face, as white as jade, was calm and indifferent, and he exuded a cold and aloof aura that kept people at a distance.

His body swayed gently as the carriage moved, and he spoke softly.

"My mother has always doted on Consort Murong, and since she has sent someone to inform me..."

If I refuse, it will inevitably cause my mother to worry.

Then, slowly opening her eyes, she looked down and saw her legs, which were completely numb...

"Anyway, what kind of banquet is held is irrelevant to me."

"I just came out for some fresh air!" said the maidservant serving nearby.

Nineteen's eyes followed, and he couldn't help but want to take a closer look, so he said softly.

"My lord, His Highness Prince Jin has found so many renowned doctors for you, surely there will be a way to cure your leg!"

"Please let the doctor take a look..."

Heaven is unfair! Such a beautiful and virtuous princess as her master.

She shouldn't be shunned by the world because of her legs.

Fortunately... fortunately, there is still His Highness Prince Jin who is willing to travel around to find famous doctors from all over the country for his master.

The master wanted to treat his leg ailment, but for some reason, he was unwilling to let the doctor touch or treat him.

She was truly distressed. Feng Liluo slightly raised her eyelids to look at the scenery outside the window.

He said slowly, "How many divine physicians have treated me over the years?"

But which one has ever truly made me stand up…

Time and again, I was filled with anticipation, but in the end, I was filled with disappointment and dejection.

For over twenty years... countless renowned and skilled doctors have treated her... but none of them have been able to help her with her legs.

She has resigned herself to the fact that she will spend the rest of her life in a wheelchair.

Nineteen replied somewhat anxiously, "But Master... what if... what if this time, Doctor Miao..."

Before he could finish speaking, Feng Liluo interrupted him with a sneer.

"Alright... Stop talking. I'm a little tired and want to rest!"

"Remind me when we reach Mount Li!"

Then he rested his hand on his forehead and closed his eyes again.

Seeing his master's reaction, Nineteen could only shut up and remain silent.

As the carriage swayed, silence returned inside.

The carriage lurched and swayed as it rolled over the gravel, and Feng Wuyou let out a muffled groan.

His knuckles gripped the cushion tightly, and the cold sweat seeping between his fingers soaked the silk, leaving dark water stains.

The veins on the side of his neck bulged, and his half-closed eyes reflected the sunlight leaking through the gaps in the carriage curtain, as if covered by a layer of broken glass.

Xiao Dezi's hands trembled as she carefully wiped the large beads of sweat from the prince's forehead.

The moment his fingertips touched the burning skin, Xiao Dezi felt immense worry. Looking at his master's bloodless face, he sobbed softly.

"Your Highness...this servant...please fetch the imperial physician..."

Then I saw those bloodshot eyes barely open, and she spoke in a weak, feeble voice.

"No...no need to make a fuss!"

Before he could finish speaking, the carriage lurched violently as it rolled over the gravel, and Feng Wuyou let out a muffled groan.

His face paled even more, his eyelashes trembled violently, and his body slammed heavily against the car wall.

Bright red marks immediately seeped out from his back. Xiao Dezi hurriedly helped him up, his eyes red-rimmed, so anxious that he crumpled his handkerchief into a ball.

"Your Highness...Your Highness...How are you...?"

Did you bump your wound? Let me take a look..."

Feng Wuyou bit her lower lip tightly to keep herself from making a sound.

After a moment, she spoke weakly, "The wound...it just reopened...I can get it replaced when we get to Lishan!"

After saying this, his figure swayed slightly and leaned forward in a daze.

Xiao Dezi quickly helped him up to prevent His Highness from being jostled again.

Xiao Dezi leaned Feng Wuyou against himself.

"Your Highness... I have offended you... Please lean on me... it will make you more comfortable..."

The only response he received was a soft "Mmm!"

The convoy traveled for about an hour before finally coming to a stop.

The massive procession moved in perfect order. "Your Majesty, we have arrived at Mount Li," the commander of the Xuanjia Imperial Guards knelt on one knee.

Fengwu slowly opened his eyes in the imperial carriage and was helped down by Hu Jin.

"Your Majesty, please slow down!"

Fengwu looked up and saw ancient pines and cypresses scattered among the layers of green mountains.

The maple leaves are not yet fully red, but they have already begun to show hints of autumn colors.

Taking a deep breath, he exclaimed, "Hmm... the weather's fine today, a perfect day for hunting! Let's go!"

The Imperial Guards had long since driven the ferocious beasts into the deep mountains, leaving only docile prey such as sika deer and wild rabbits.

The soft rustling sound of animal hooves crushing the morning dew was exceptionally clear in the empty valley.

In the distance, tents of all sizes had already been set up on the open ground!

Everyone got off the carriage and walked towards the open space one after another!

After resting for a while, the Queen and the noblemen changed their clothes and prepared for the occasion!

The autumn sun bathed the open space beside the hunting ground in golden-red hues, and colorful flags fluttered in the wind.

Wearing a dark cloak embroidered with gold, Feng Wu sat upright on the throne, his phoenix eyes smiling as he swept over the assembled officials below.

The room was furnished with jade tables and chairs arranged in a staggered pattern, flanked by noble ladies and noblewomen. The women, daughters of high-ranking officials and prominent families, sat in a circle among them.

"My beloved ministers!" The Empress suddenly stood up, her wide sleeves fluttering in the wind.

Everyone stood up.

"Today's autumn hunt is open to both men and women!"

She raised her hand and pointed to the mountains covered in autumn colors, her gilded armor gleaming coldly in the sunlight.

"The prize is determined by the size and quantity of the prey; the winner will receive the Cold Moon Sword and a luminous pearl from the Western Regions! Plus, there's plenty of aged Daughter's Red wine—"

"Let me see the magnificence of my daughters and sons!"

Before he finished speaking, a thunderous response erupted from the audience.

The civil officials smiled faintly, the military generals rubbed their swords together, and the young ladies and gentlemen of noble families whispered among themselves.

Unable to conceal the eager look in her eyes, a silvery laugh suddenly broke through the noise, and Princess Pingyang rose to greet him.

"Your Majesty, do not regret this!" The jade pendant at her waist swayed slightly, and the longbow brought by the maid behind her gleamed with a dark light, making her look heroic and dashing.

The Empress clapped her hands and laughed, the pearls on her phoenix crown trembling slightly with the movement.

"Heh heh, I'll be watching! Pingyang, show me what you've got!"

"That's right, we certainly won't disappoint His Majesty. Pingyang is determined to take the first place reward!"

The audience erupted in cheers and laughter, creating a lively and festive atmosphere!

"Alright, those who are willing to participate, go to Commander Zuo to collect your arrows!"

Tonight's feast depends on you all! Haha.

The sound of drums and horns suddenly resounded through the sky, startling the birds in the forest, and the atmosphere reached its climax.
