Chapter 182: Qin Wanwan Plants Flowers
Qin Wanwan asked Daddy Shang to pay attention to the situation at the border pass after she started having nightmares.
Because Daddy Shang had good sources of news.
But even with his good sources, he couldn’t possibly know what was happening at the border pass overnight.
She could only reluctantly put aside the worry in her heart.
To distract herself, Shang Wuyang had someone bring some flower pots for the little one to plant strawberries.
Although it was winter, planting in flower pots indoors was not a problem.
The strawberries were very resilient, and with the little Qilin around, they could even be grown in winter.
The strawberries tasted very good, and the fruits were large. The previous ones had already been eaten, and after such a long time without them, she missed them a little.
Qin Wanwan was very obedient and took a small shovel to dig soil.
However, this time she wanted to plant not only strawberries but also flowers.
There were many flower seeds in the mall.
“Orchids, roses, lavender, chrysanthemums, jasmine.”
Qin Wanwan planted more than ten kinds of flowers, some belonging to the same family but with different names and appearances.
Finally, she also set her sights on a small kumquat sapling.
She found three large flower pots and planted them as well.
“You all need to grow up quickly.”
As Qin Wanwan watered the flower seeds, her little chubby hands stirred in the water.
In fact, if one looked closely, one would notice small green light spots, like fireflies, mixing into the water along her fingers.
This was a new ability the little Qilin had recently discovered.
She still couldn’t use magic, but she could now influence spiritual energy.
However, this spiritual energy could only be used directly on plants.
When it was almost time, she used a small spoon to water the flowers and strawberry seeds, mumbling to herself that they should grow quickly.
This room would be their flower room from now on, and there would be dedicated people to take care of it.
With a little water left, Qin Wanwan took it to her own bedroom.
There was also something being raised in the room; it wasn’t a flower or a fruit, but a ginseng plant.
It was the wild ginseng that Qin Wanwan had found in the mountains before.
Normally, wild ginseng that had been dug up couldn’t be replanted, but this wild ginseng was not only growing well but had also flowered.
“You need to grow up quickly too.”
She poured the last bit of water onto the wild ginseng.
Shang Wuyang had been quite busy these past few days.
Because the Third Prince had made a move against him.
“Shang Wuyang” followed the news to find the “Divine Doctor,” only to fall into an encirclement.
The Third Prince, from a manor in the distance, heard the sounds of fighting coming from the mountain forest. He turned to look at Lin Wan’e.
“Are you sure that’s Shang Wuyang?”
Lin Wan’e quickly nodded: “I’m sure. He was poisoned with cold poison and heard that the Divine Doctor was in Shangjing, so he disguised himself as an ordinary merchant to come here looking for the Divine Doctor. He definitely won’t miss any news about the Divine Doctor.”
The Third Prince stood with his hands behind his back, a greedy glint flashing in his eyes.
The famous Shang Wuyang was richer than a nation. If he could kill him, he could find a way to encroach on Shang Wuyang’s industries in Shangjing.
And Shangyang City, once Shang Wuyang died, the Xianbei people would attack, and then all of Shangyang City would be his, and he would no longer have to worry about money.
The sounds of fighting in the mountain forest quickly subsided. Just as the Third Prince was getting excited, he saw his men riding back on horses in a sorry state.
“Master, hurry and go, we’ve been tricked!”
The Third Prince’s expression changed dramatically.
Without a second thought, he quickly ordered someone to take him away.
Lin Wan’e was in utter chaos, and at this moment, no one was paying attention to her.
The Third Prince had abandoned her and run away!
Anger flashed across Lin Wan’e’s face at being abandoned, but she valued her life more. Gritting her teeth, she followed the Third Prince and finally squeezed into his carriage.
“Hurry!”
Some people wearing ghost masks had already killed their way over.
In just a moment, they had killed many of the Third Prince’s men.
Lin Wan’e screamed in fear and clung tightly to the Third Prince’s arm.
The Third Prince was so angry with this foolish woman that her sharp screams echoed in his ears, throwing his mind into chaos.
“Shut up!”
He unceremoniously slapped Lin Wan’e and looked at her as if he wanted to kill her.
Lin Wan’e was startled and trembled, covering her mouth.
Suddenly, an arrow shot through the carriage and embedded itself in her hair. Lin Wan’e could no longer hold back and continued to scream.
“Ahhhh!!! Don’t kill me, don’t ahhhh!!!”
No matter how well it was imagined, how could a woman as weak as Lin Wan’e, who didn’t dare to kill a chicken, not be afraid when faced with such an assassination?
The arrow had lodged itself in her hair.
The Third Prince kicked her in the belly.
“If you make any more noise, I’ll throw you out!”
Lin Wan’e clutched her stomach, her face pale, and suddenly felt a sharp, heavy pain in her abdomen.
Her skirt was stained red, and her eyes were filled with terror.
“Blood… so much blood.”
Then, she rolled her eyes back and fainted.
The Third Prince paid her no mind; the smell of blood made him loathe Lin Wan’e even more.
If she wasn’t still of some value, the Third Prince wished he could strangle the woman right now.
It was all her fault…
Fleeing in disarray, the pursuers finally stopped chasing them as they neared the Imperial City gate.
The Third Prince returned to the capital in a sorry state, and news of the assassination quickly spread throughout Shangjing.
He was also injured, but he didn’t dare to say that Shang Wuyang was the one who assassinated him.
He was afraid that Shang Wuyang would reveal the news of his collusion with the Xianbei.
During his recovery, he was constantly on edge.
On the other side, Shang Wuyang had finished dealing with the Third Prince’s men and was leisurely feeding a certain little bun some yuanxiao.
Soft, chewy, snow-white little balls, cooked with sweet wine, with a hint of intoxicating aroma, but mostly a sweet taste.
Qin Wanwan loved them and ate more than half a bowl with puffed cheeks.
“Daddy, I want more.”
Shang Wuyang put down the bowl and spoon and wiped the corners of the little milk ball’s mouth.
“No.”
“These are hard to digest and will give you a stomachache if you eat too much.”
Although Qin Wanwan was still greedy, she was also obedient.
“Then can Wanwan eat rolled donkey?”
“Mm, go ahead.”
The little chubby cub smiled. She was a small, white, soft creature, and when she smiled, she was like those soft and chewy yuanxiao balls, melting everyone’s hearts.
Qin Wanwan ran off to find food.
A Ghost Mask Shadow Guard silently landed beside him to report the situation.
Shang Wuyang leaned back lazily in his chair and smiled after listening.
“Interesting. Since this Third Prince can collude with the Xianbei, investigate his background.”
He had some information about the Third Prince’s background; he was a “skinny horse from Yangzhou” brought back by the Emperor during his southern tour, with no particular background.
However, for the Xianbei people to choose to cooperate with the Third Prince, was it a transaction, or was there some other secret?
He would find out by investigating.
He wasn’t in a hurry. After letting the person leave, he pulled his cloak around himself and went to find the little chubby cub.
Every winter was the most difficult time for him, but this year’s winter was the most relaxed he had experienced.
So relaxed that he wasn’t in such a hurry to find the Divine Doctor anymore.
Qin Wanwan was in the flower room, eating rolled donkey.
The flowers she had planted had all grown out in just a few days.
Their growth was exceptionally good.
