At the same time, he looked at the two women from the corner of his eye. They were staring at him nervously. They did not look jealous of each other and instead were just concerned about him.
He felt a little strange. He didn’t know if they didn’t care about him or if he was just lucky to marry two women who were more generous and virtuous than the other.
Looking at their nervous expressions, he felt the latter was more likely.
Most importantly, Uncle Feng had never mentioned anything about their conflict in the letter he wrote to him. On the contrary, they were surprisingly harmonious when Seventh Su schemed against them last time.
It seemed that after suffering for half a lifetime, the heavens finally granted him something great.
At the thought of this, he turned her head and said, “Don’t look at me like that. I’m too embarrassed to eat.”
“We were afraid that your wound would open up.” The two of them replied in unison.
King Rui paused for a moment before replying, “Don’t worry. Lord Gu stitched up my wound. As long as I don’t do any strenuous exercise, I’ll be fine.” “Cousin? Isn’t Cousin in his hometown?” Gu Wanning asked in surprise.
“He didn’t manage to leave. Since I was injured, he stayed behind. He’s already back at his residence.”
“Are they alright?”
“They’re fine, but it’s true that they’re quite tired.” When King Rui said this, he looked at Sun Miaoke. “Oh right, send someone to send 2,000 pounds of new rice to the Gu residence later.
“It was all thanks to the various medicinal powders they had that they could return safely.”
“Should we add something else?”
“No need. They don’t lack anything now other than rice.”
“Understood.”
“I’ll send them over later and visit them.” Gu Wanning quipped in.
“Sure. Be careful.” King Rui reminded her, and he lowered his head to eat his porridge.
The porridge was very tasty, and the red beans also had a faint, sweet fragrance.
When he was done eating, Zhou Huaiming came in with Butler Feng. The two women knew they had something important, so they didn’t stay and immediately left.
After returning to the backyard, Sun Miaoke asked Qing Tao to take out 5,000 pounds of rice for Gu Wanning.
Gu Wanning did not delay and went straight to the Gu residence with the rice.
After the women left, King Rui asked Butler Feng in detail about what had happened in the capital recently.
He learned that everything else was unusually quiet besides the assassination attempt of Gu Chengrui and his wife.
Especially the Empress and King Hui. The two of them seemingly stayed imprisoned in their residence without complaint.
However, with the mother and son’s stubborn personalities, it was impossible for them to be so quiet. What were they holding back this time?
“Cousin, Uncle Feng, who do you think is behind this assassination?”
“It’s hard to say. After the sterilization incident, the Emperor’s attitude toward King Kang became much more relaxed.
“This also indirectly showed that the Emperor intended to give up on him.
“As for King Hui, it’s certain that he’s not the Emperor’s choice, too.
“Therefore, both of them could have made a move on you.” Butler Feng replied.
“Uncle Feng, now that you mention it, I think it’s more likely King Kang is behind this.
“At this time, King Hui is at rock bottom. He has to do something to steer the ship around, or else he will not act. Therefore, I think that the possibility of King Kang being behind this assassination attempt is high.”
“I heard that after the Seventh Prince got married, he went to the Ministry of Revenue. How is he doing?” King Rui suddenly asked.
“The Seventh Prince?” Uncle Feng looked at him in surprise and asked, “Are you saying that the Seventh Prince is also possible…?”
“Don’t look down on him. Although his in-laws aren’t politically strong, his connections are not shallow. He has gathered a large number of followers the same age as him..”
