Lin Jiwen, who was walking on the side, interjected very proudly, “I heard from the guards on the mountain that they heard the sound of tigers roaring last night. It seems that there are tigers on this mountain. When the time comes, I implore Shizi not to rob me of it.”
Xi Xingjiang smiled and made a ‘go ahead’ gesture.
As the team progressed, they gradually went deeper into the forest where there were more traces of beasts. Emperor Lin also found a black panther, which immediately attracted a large group of troops to chase after it. Unfortunately, the black panther was fast and it disappeared in a flash.
Lin Feilu was up for a leisurely ride on horseback, but when they ran like this, she couldn’t keep up and felt that her bones were about to fall apart. This little white horse had a very strong temperament and was not willing to fall behind the other horses at all. Hence, it ran the entire way and Lin Feilu didn’t have the ability to stop it either.
She began to regret attending the hunting festival to join in the fun.
Wouldn’t it be better to eat some iced watermelon lying down somewhere in the palace?
She looked around and went to Lin Ting, who was the nearest to her, and said, “Brother, I want a rabbit,” She added, “Alive.”
Although Lin Ting didn’t like hunting and killing, his riding skills were not bad at all. Soon, he brought some men and managed to catch a rabbit for her.
Lin Feilu asked men to tie the rabbit’s feet and then ushered the horse to proceed to the front, preparing to tell Emperor Lin that she wanted to go back. The hunt would probably continue for a few hours, but her backside was already protesting violently.
Not long after she went forward, she saw Lin Qing, who had been by Emperor Lin’s side the entire time, currently riding behind the Emperor. He was holding the reins with one hand and covering his stomach with the other— his parlour didn’t look very good either.
Lin Feilu rode her horse to his side and asked in a low voice, “Brother Crown Prince, are you feeling unwell?”
Lin Qing turned his head. When he saw that it was her, he put on his best smile, “It’s nothing.”
As he spoke, his palms rubbed his stomach slightly.
He woke up this morning with some discomfort in his stomach and a dull pain. But the annual Summer Hunt was very important to him. As the Crown Prince, he naturally had to be excellent in everything to satisfy his father’s expectations. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be practising alone in the paddock even in the harsh winter.
How could he give up participating in the Summer Hunt because of a mere stomach ache?
So he endured it all the way. However, as the horse’s back continued to jerk due to the bumpy roads, the discomfort in his stomach became more and more severe. Despite being under the hot sun of summer, he was literally drenched in a layer of cold sweat and his lips have long gone pale.
Seeing his appearance, Lin Feilu also knew that the situation was wrong as she frowned, “Brother Crown Prince, if you are not feeling well, don’t join the hunt. It will be even more uncomfortable if you even have to run later on.”
This hunt had just begun, so not everyone got their fair share of harvests yet. If it was truly just a dull throb, it would have been impossible for Lin Qing to leave the front team and fall behind.
He had nothing to say to that, so Lin Feilu said again, “The most important thing is the body. If the root of a disease was left because of a mere Summer Hunt, it will not be worth the gain. The Summer Hunt is held every year, but you only have one body.”
