Chapter 229 [Fuyao 14]
The hunt was about to begin, and Qi Zhen said, "Your Majesty, why don't we go to the hunting ground together?"
Zhang Sun Wuji said with difficulty, "Duke, I am not good at martial arts. I am afraid I will disappoint you."
Qi Zhen said, "Since ancient times, when the royal family hunted, the king would go into battle in person, so Your Majesty must go to the hunting ground."
Changsun Wuji had no choice but to ride into the hunting ground with Qi Zhen.
The hunting ground was set up in a forest with lush vegetation. Qi Zhen deliberately ordered people to put a little rabbit in Changsun Wuji's sight to lead Changsun Wuji into the depths of the woods.
Qi Zhen watched Changsun Wuji walking further and further away, a sneer appeared on his lips, which happened to be seen by Youyou and Zong Yue who were hiding in the tree.
Zong Yue realized that something was wrong. Qi Zhen must have set a trap for Changsun Wuji to take the bait. Zong Yue and You You looked at each other and understood each other's intentions.
So the two of them chased in the direction Changsun Wuji was heading. Not long after they went, they saw Changsun Wuji trapped by the leaf spirit.
Zong Yue stepped forward to rescue Changsun Wuji, but the leaf spirit was neither alive nor dead, and there was no way to split it.
Youyou found that after chopping the leaf spirit with a knife for a long time, there was no trace left, so he cast a spell to summon his natal fire, and the leaf spirit naturally retreated when it encountered the fire.
But unexpectedly, as soon as the leaf spirit disappeared, a giant stone monster appeared in the forest. Even if the stone monster was killed, it would reshape itself wherever there were stones, and the stone monster was not afraid of fire.
The three people studied for a long time but could not find a way to repel the stone monster. But they couldn't just sit there and waste time. The stone monster could live an infinite number of times, and they were not perpetual motion machines and would get tired too.
"What should we do? Do you have any good ideas?" Zong Yue asked.
"No, this thing is too difficult to deal with." Changsun Wuji said.
"As long as there are stones, it will revive endlessly. We have no way to deal with it." Youyou said.
"But if we continue like this, we will be exhausted to death by it sooner or later," said Changsun Wuji.
"Okay, we can use the formation." Youyou said.
"What formation?" Zong Yue asked.
"It's a kind of isolation formation. This giant stone monster must be controlled by someone, otherwise it wouldn't keep attacking us." Youyou said.
"Yes, but none of us know how to set up formations. Do you know how to set up formations?" Changsun Wuji asked.
"I know a little, but it's just enough." Youyou said, and then cast a spell to set up an isolation array around the stone monster. In an instant, the stone monster seemed to lose power and turned into pieces of stone.
The three men then breathed a sigh of relief. It was really not easy to save their lives.
"Sometimes I wonder who you are? You can control fire and set up formations." Changsun Wuji said to Youyou.
"I'm a good person." Youyou said seriously.
When Changsun Wuji heard this, he started laughing.
Zong Yue couldn't help it and laughed too.
"What's wrong? Are you laughing at me?" Youyou said.
"No, no, let's get out now, so we don't run into any weird things again." Zong Yue quickly changed the subject.
"Then let's go." Youyou said, then pulled Zong Yue forward without waiting for Changsun Wuji who was behind.
Changsun Wuji felt helpless. Did these two people forget about him? Did he have such a low sense of existence?
Changsun Wuji had no choice but to follow the two people, otherwise by the time they discovered that he was missing, it would be too late.
After the three people went out, Qi Zhen was shocked to see that Changsun Wuji was safe and sound. He didn't know how he escaped. Qi Zhen ignored Youyou and Zong Yue beside him.
Zhang Sun Wuji stepped forward and asked, "Duke, the monster that appeared in the forest and assassinated me was probably sent by you because you were not satisfied with me sitting on the throne."
Qi Zhen was cunning and refused to admit it. Instead, he said, "What appeared in the forest was not a monster, nor was it a man-made assassination. I think it was more like the law of heaven. Every monarch of Taiyuan had to go through a difficult test set by heaven when they took office. This is the law of heaven. Those who pass the difficult test will surely prosper in the future. I think Your Majesty must have encountered the law of heaven."
After listening to Qi Zhen's words, Changsun Wuji's face turned happy and he said, "This time it's all thanks to your niece Qi Youyou and the Medical Saint Zong. If it weren't for them, I would have died long ago."
Qi Zhen then understood why his plan had failed, but he did not think that his plan had been leaked. He just thought that the two people happened to see Changsun Wuji and then rescued him.
"This is all because of your majesty's great fortune. I don't even know this girl Youyou. She has only mediocre skills at best." Qi Zhen said with a smile.
"Duke Qi, please don't be so modest." Changsun Wuji said.
"Now that your majesty has ascended the throne, there are no concubines in the harem. Why not take this opportunity to select beauties? Look at the beauties here, there must be one that your majesty likes." Qi Zhen said. He wanted to place a bedmate next to Changsun Wuji, and it would be best if this person was the future queen who could be the mother of Taiyuan.
Zhang Sun Wuji joked, "I do have a crush on a woman, but I don't know if the Duke is willing to give her up."
"Don't know who it is? Your Majesty, please tell me clearly." Qi Zhen asked.
Youyou felt something was wrong and always felt that Changsun Wuji had some bad intentions.
Unexpectedly, the next words confirmed my premonition.
"Qi Youyou, your niece, I think she is quite intelligent and kind-hearted." Changsun Wuji said.
"No, Your Majesty, Youyou is my beloved, and Youyou and I have promised to be together for life." Zong Yue said first.
"It's rare for me to fall in love with a woman. Can't the Medical Saint give way to me?" Changsun Wuji said with pretended regret.
"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I have to tell you the truth. Actually, I... Youyou and I have already had physical contact, and maybe Youyou is pregnant with my child." Zong Yue said guiltily.
Youyou was a little shocked. When did she and Zong Yue have physical contact? How come she didn't know? She wanted to refute, but Zong Yue pressed the mute point and she couldn't explain at all.
"What? Doctor Zong, you actually treated my Youyou like this. Although I am not her biological father, I treat her as my own daughter. Now you are ruining my child like this. Doctor Zong, tell me what we should do now." Although Qi Zhen was a little angry, he wanted more benefits.
"I married Youyou in a formal ceremony and made her the lady of my clan. I will never let Youyou down. What do you think, Uncle Qi?" Zong Yue said seriously.
"Okay, since you have already had physical contact, get married as soon as possible. Otherwise, it will be bad if you wait until your belly gets big. I will also prepare a generous dowry for Youyou and marry her off in a grand manner." Qi Zhen said.
"Since Miss Qi and the Medical Saint love each other, why don't I grant them a marriage? I hope they will be together forever and live happily together for a hundred years." Changsun Wuji said.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Zong Yue said.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Qi Zhen said.
While the two of them were bowing their heads to thank him, Changsun Wuji winked at Youyou, as if to say, I was good to you. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't be in this situation today.
Youyou felt helpless. Now that her acupuncture points were sealed, she couldn't speak at all. She could only watch three people decide on their marriages. The key point was that she couldn't even express her opinion. She was just "sold" like this.
"I wonder if Your Majesty likes any woman. I have an adopted daughter named Yuwen Zi. Yuwen Zi has admired Your Majesty for a long time. I hope Your Majesty can take her into the palace." Qi Zhen continued.
Changsun Wuji knew that if he didn't agree to Qi Zhen this time, he wouldn't know what advice he would give next time, so he said, "Okay, since she is the adopted daughter of the Duke, then send her to the palace for the selection."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Qi Zhen said.
After Qi Zhen left, Zong Yue unblocked the acupoints for You You. You You was very angry and left angrily as soon as the acupoints were unblocked.
Seeing this, Zong Yue hurriedly chased after him. If he didn't let this little ancestor vent his anger, his future life would be difficult.
Zong Yue chased Youyou to a river, pulled Youyou and said, "Youyou, listen to my explanation."
"Okay, you talk and I'll listen." Youyou said with a smile.
"I had no choice. I was afraid that Qi Zhen would send you to the palace, so I said this." Zong Yue explained.
"Then I became the one who got pregnant before marriage? Zong Yue, when did I have physical contact with you? How come I didn't know? Even though you have a child, I was the one who was notified." Youyou said.
"Youyou, are you saying that I didn't have physical contact with you?" Zong Yue said.
"You know that's not what I meant." said Youyou.
"It's too late." Zong Yue said.
Zong Yue leaned down, put his arms around Youyou, and gently kissed her on the mouth, rolling on her lips. Everything around them was quiet, as if time had stood still. His fragrance, her softness, everything was so sweet.
