The fool has become a spirit, and she can speak

Chapter 1881 A slap landed on Cheng Youning

Cheng Feng asked, "Judge Li, when will this poison be completely neutralized?"

"Your Highness, it will take another three to five days, but with careful treatment, His Majesty will soon be back to his former vigor."

Hearing this, Cheng Feng finally felt relieved!

After Li Yuanjian left, Wan Lianxing comforted Cheng Feng, saying, "In the past, I often led people to hunt in the mountains. If we couldn't catch the prey we wanted, we would spend the night on the mountain, often for several days at a time. We often ran out of food and had to forage for what we had. There are many things to eat on the mountain, but also many things not to eat, some poisonous and some not. It all depends on experience. However, we have been poisoned by poisonous plants. If we boiled a pot of wild vegetable soup, we might accidentally poison a large group of people. Our method was to induce vomiting to prevent further poisoning. So last night, when I found out that I had accidentally eaten poisonous mushrooms, I wasn't that scared. I also knew that these weren't mushrooms that would kill you immediately. It was just a little suffering."

Cheng Feng's train of thought was immediately swayed by Wan Lianxing, because as a former hunter, he naturally knew a fair share of what was poisonous and what wasn't in the mountains. Hunters might go hungry in the mountains, but a hunter eating wild vegetables in the mountains didn't sound like a proper hunter at all.

"Uncle, if you run out of food while hunting, do you really have to drink wild vegetable soup? When your grandson was five or six years old, he could catch wild pheasants on the mountain, roast them over a fire, and they would sizzle and drip oil. Would a group of you go hungry on the mountain? Couldn't you catch a few wild pheasants or rabbits to roast and fill your stomach?"

Wan Lianxing glared at Cheng Feng with displeasure. "Are you looking down on me? Do you think your uncle would go hunting empty-handed? Even if it's just roasted pheasant, he should at least have some vegetable soup. If there are no vegetables, he can just eat wild greens. He can't just eat roasted pheasant..."

"Roasted wild pheasant? Where can I find wild pheasant?" Cheng Youning sat up nimbly, her eyes half-open and half-asleep, her head swaying around, looking as if she were searching for wild pheasant.

"What little wild chicken? Are you still half asleep?" It was Cheng Feng who spoke!

"But someone was clearly talking about a little wild chicken!"

"Nobody said anything about 'little wild chicken,' lie down and keep sleeping!" No one knows a son better than his father, and Cheng Youning looked like he was still asleep! Cheng Feng got up to pull the blanket up for Cheng Youning, but Cheng Youning lay down again, his head landing squarely on Wan Lianxing's leg with considerable force.

Cheng Feng clicked his tongue, "You have no sense of restraint at all. Your great-grandfather is still sick. How can he withstand your thrashing around like this? If you really can't take it, you should go and rest in your own Ningxin Palace!"

Upon hearing this, Cheng Youning woke up. She first tilted her head and thought for a moment, then, as if she remembered something, she quickly sat up. Seeing Wan Lianxing sitting unharmed against the headboard, Cheng Youning became excited, "Grandpa, you're finally alright!"

Wan Lianxing patted Cheng Youning's head, saying that thanks to his grandson taking care of his great-grandfather last night, his great-grandfather recovered without medical treatment.

Cheng Youning pursed his thin lips, his eyes curving into crescents, and shamelessly accepted the credit, saying sweet words, "Serving tea and water, boiling soup and decocting medicine, isn't this what your grandson should do!"

Cheng Fengdiu was amused by his son's words, "Alright, stop being so shameless. Serving tea and water, cooking soup and decocting medicine, what have you done? It's past 5 a.m., stop lazing around in your great-uncle's bed."

Cheng Youning continued to laugh, then buried her head in Wan Lianxing's lap and lay down again, muttering, "When Grandpa gets better, Grandpa and Daddy will take me hunting! I haven't hunted in so long, I even dreamed about roasting wild pheasants!"

Cheng Youning didn't dream about roasted pheasants; he overheard his great-uncle and father talking about roasted pheasants. He was half asleep and mistook it for a dream, then let out a big yawn.

Wan Lianxing placed his hand on Cheng Youning's small body and stroked it affectionately. "Grandson really reminded his little grandfather. In a few days, when I'm feeling better, we'll hold a spring hunting competition at the hunting grounds outside the city, so that those with ambition and hunting enthusiasts can participate. Those who hunt the most will be rewarded, and those who hunt rare items will be rewarded."

"Alright! I'll have my classmates from the Imperial Academy participate too, and I'll take this opportunity to deflate their arrogance. Last time, I took the hunting dogs to the hunting grounds outside the south city to chase rabbits, and I was outmatched. This time, I must regain my honor! I'll make them admit defeat." As he spoke, Cheng Youning even sat up, but he quickly cried out "Ouch!" and his little face twitched, looking somewhat pained.

Wan Lianxing immediately noticed something was wrong; the child was clearly injured. "What's going on?" Wan Lianxing's voice was somewhat deep.

Cheng Youning grimaced and said, "My back hurts."

"Back pain? What happened? Are you injured? Feng'er, go and invite Physician Li in to take a look at You Ning!"

Cheng Feng curled his lip, unconcerned, "Uncle, I don't think it's necessary to make a fuss. A backache won't stop me from eating and drinking!"

Wan Lianxing's voice grew even deeper, "What kind of talk is this? You Ning is clearly not in a good condition!"

Upon hearing Wan Lianxing's words, Cheng Youning let out two loud groans. The first groan was genuine pain, but these two were clearly intentional. Cheng Feng helplessly got up, tugged at Cheng Youning's clothes, and said, "Lie down and let Daddy take a look!"

Cheng Youning obediently lay down on the bed, and Cheng Feng impatiently tugged at the back of Cheng Youning's clothes.

Wan Lianxing was immediately filled with rage. "Who did this? Who dares to touch the Crown Prince! Guards!"

Sui Ying rushed in from outside, "What's wrong, Your Majesty? You can't get upset! The imperial physician wants you to rest!"

"How can I calm down! Investigate for me and find out who has harmed the Crown Prince."

Suiying hadn't figured out what was going on, but when his eyes fell on the prince's injured area, he couldn't help but chuckle.

The prince's injuries were clearly inflicted by someone hitting him with willow branches or bamboo poles! "No, who did this? They really hit him hard!"

Wan Lianxing's face was grim and terrifying. "I ordered you to investigate. Investigate now!"

Sui Ying suppressed a laugh, "Yes! I'll investigate, but I'll ask the person involved first. Your Highness, how did you get this injury?"

Before Cheng Youning could spout nonsense, Cheng Feng spoke up first, "No need to ask, I had Shang tide go to the Crown Prince's residence to do it yesterday!"

"It's you two again? Are you trying to drive me crazy?" Wan Lianxing's face darkened!

"Uncle, it's your grandson who deserves a beating! You have no idea how much trouble this kid has caused." Cheng Feng's tall figure stood at the head of the bed, his imposing aura overwhelming. As soon as Cheng Youning's outrageous deeds were mentioned, Cheng Feng slapped Cheng Youning across the face.

He hits wherever there's a wound!

Cheng Youning cried out in pain, "Ouch!" and leaped into Wan Lianxing's arms, shouting, "Grandpa, protect me! My daddy hit someone!"
