Chapter 635 - 635: Let’s Go, Autumn Hunt!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

It was late autumn and in September.

The wind blew bleakly and the withered leaves on the branches were all swept away.

It was also at this moment that the government sent the news.

After a series of rigorous investigations and interrogations, Wen Fuling had indeed caused the death of her husband, Liang Sheng!

This old man, Wen Zheng, was a selfish person.

After suffering a few punishments, he couldn’t take it anymore.

He cried and confessed that it was all Wen Fuling’s idea.

It had nothing to do with him at all.

However, the truth was that Wen Fuling was in charge of planning while Wen Zheng was in charge of drugging.

He had ruthlessly poisoned the honest and straightforward Liang Sheng to death!

After the matter was exposed, the two of them were sentenced to death according to the law.

The child, Lian Ji, wasn’t involved, so he was acquitted.

However, Lian Ji had no other relatives in this world.

When the news reached Gu Nuo’er’s ears…

The child had also felt pity for him.

However, she knew that sometimes, being too soft-hearted was not a good thing!

She decided to forget about it.

Everyone had their own destiny. How could she save so many people?

Soon, it was time for the autumn hunt that was held once every three years.

This was Gu Nuo’er’s favorite event. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“When we reach the hunting ground, we can eat sizzling roasted meat and run around to play. I’m so happy!”

In the carriage, the child waved her small hands in her mother’s arms and said excitedly.

There was a long and mighty trail of carriages.

His Majesty brought his subjects, princes, and consorts to the imperial hunting ground, the Futu Imperial Abode.

Noble Consort Qiao had a hair accessory inserted at a slanted angle, her appearance peerlessly beautiful.

Her red lips were full and she smiled gently. “When I brought you here to play three years ago, Nuo’er was still young and you already remembered that you ate roasted meat?”

Gu Nuo’er raised her head and said proudly, “I remember! I still remember that Second Brother and Third Brother encountered a black bear. They were chased all the way to the stream and had gotten all wet!”

Gu Yihan listened from the side and laughed heartily.

“Second and Third were embarrassed that time. However, my Baby Nuo isn’t afraid at all!”

That time, Gu Nuo’er encountered a black bear with her two older brothers.

Her two brothers picked her up and ran.

When they reached the stream, Gu Zitang and Gu Ziyao couldn’t run anymore.

Gu Nuo’er even spread out her small arms and stood in front of her two brothers.

Back then, she was only two years old. She was the size of a small radish and shouted fiercely in a childish voice, “You’re not allowed to bully my older brothers!”

Later on, the black bear really left.

At that time, Gu Yihan praised this matter as proof the princess was an auspicious symbol. Even ferocious beasts had to avoid her.

Gu Nuo’er crawled out of Noble Consort Qiao’s arms and ran to the corner of the carriage to rummage around.

Then, she raised the small bow and arrow set she had brought.

“Father, look! I specially asked Grandpa to prepare it! I’m going to go down to hunt tomorrow and play with my brothers!”

Noble Consort Qiao was a little hesitant. “Arrows in the forest have no eyes. What if you get injured?”

The child’s voice was soft. “I won’t get hurt. I have Elder Brother Siming!”

Gu Yihan’s smile widened. He took the opportunity to carry his precious daughter in his arms.

“Good Nuo’er, as expected of Father’s child. Back then, when Father was six years old, I also drew my bow and shot a wild goose!”

Gu Nuo’er’s eyes immediately lit up. “Father is so amazing!”

After saying that, she clenched her small fists and bared her teeth in a childish voice. “Just wait. I’ll shoot something too. I won’t embarrass Father!”

She thought for a moment. “Oh, if I really can’t shoot anything, I can shoot a few fruits to quench Father’s thirst.”

Gu Yihan was amused by her and his hearty laughter rang out of the carriage.

When the imperial guards following at the side heard this, they all knew that the better His Majesty’s mood was, the more generous the hunting rewards would be!

In the autumn hunt three years ago, the first place went to Prince Xuan’s adopted son.

His Majesty casually rewarded him with half a chest of gold!

This time, everyone rubbed their palms together.

Although Qiu Shou said that it was a hunt, it was actually His Majesty looking to see if there were any brave men among the various aristocratic families who could be loyal and serve the country in the future.

Any noble young master in the family who was young and energetic wanted to perform well..
