Bai Susu was relieved to see him give up this plan.
Thinking about what Feng Qiwu just said about killing the White Deer for her to drink its blood, she quickly added, "And the White Deer that the Emperor gifted you, don’t kill it either. I don’t like drinking deer blood, and who knows if the blood of the White Deer is normal or not? What if it causes some illness if we drink it?"
Feng Qiwu immediately nodded and said, "You have a point."
"Right? What if after drinking the deer’s blood, our hair turns white too?" Bai Susu spoke off the top of her head.
"Hmm, then let’s not kill it." Feng Qiwu smiled, amused by Bai Susu’s imagination.
At the time, many people expected Feng Qiwu to kill the White Deer for its meat and blood.
After all, when the Crown Prince loses his temper, it’s not just a deer—even a male lion or tiger would be killed without hesitation.
The White Deer’s temperament was so poor that it was only a matter of time before it provoked the Crown Prince.
Moreover, the Crown Prince had been in a manic phase recently, easily set off by the smallest things.
So, when the White Deer was sent to the Eastern Palace, it was basically no different from being sent to its death.
However, what no one expected was that not only was the White Deer not killed by Feng Qiwu, but it was openly transported out of the city and released into the wild the next morning, in front of the whole Capital City!
Soon, everyone was astounded.
That was an auspicious beast.
The Crown Prince, known for his ferocity, didn’t even keep it but let it go?
This didn’t feel right.
While everyone was puzzled, a servant from the Eastern Palace, during a casual chat while shopping, "accidentally" revealed the reason the White Deer was set free.
"You didn’t see it, but the White Deer, as soon as it saw the Crown Prince, was so scared that it knelt down, and tears welled up immediately! I felt sorry for it just watching."
"The Crown Prince said that the White Deer seemed to have some intelligence and awareness, and spared its life for that kneeling."
Upon hearing this, the people listening couldn’t help but exclaim, "Really? It even knew to kneel before the Crown Prince? That’s too amazing!"
"Isn’t it? Our Crown Prince is such a figure that even the extraordinarily vengeful wolves of the northwest are terrified. Moreover, animals are naturally sensitive to killing intent; it’s no wonder they fear the Crown Prince," the servant of the Eastern Palace said proudly.
But as the story spread, it became more and more exaggerated.
By the time it spread throughout the Capital, it had turned into the White Deer being so terrified by Feng Qiwu’s murderous aura that it kowtowed desperately, wailing and begging for mercy, with tears like streams, and even tears of blood, which moved Feng Qiwu to pity it and decide to release it to the mountains and forests.
When the story reached Bai Susu, it came with several versions, but without exception, each emphasized that it was Feng Qiwu’s murderous aura that had intimidated the auspicious beast White Deer into kneeling and begging for mercy.
Even a noble auspicious beast was afraid of the Crown Prince’s murderous aura, showing just how fierce and terrifying he was!
"Miss, did the White Deer really kneel to the Crown Prince?" Chuntao asked curiously after bringing in freshly made pastries.
Bai Susu picked up a piece of cake and took a bite, shaking her head, "I don’t know either, but it’s probably a rumor!"
She didn’t deny that everything had spirituality, but kowtowing and begging for mercy... that seemed a bit fake.
At this moment, Nuanxia coughed lightly and said to Bai Susu, "Miss, true or not, when the Crown Prince comes tonight, you can ask and find out, right?"
Hearing this, Bai Susu raised an eyebrow, "Not afraid of him now?"
"Ahem, he’s the Crown Prince, after all. How could we not be afraid?" Nuanxia said hurriedly.
But to find out about the White Deer’s kneeling, they wished the Crown Prince would come sooner.
Besides, with the Miss here, the Crown Prince wouldn’t dare do anything to them, would he?
Hearing Nuanxia’s words, Bai Susu said with slight exasperation, "No wonder they say curiosity killed the cat; it seems your curiosity about the White Deer’s kneeling has overridden your fear of Shu Kuang."
"Miss, you’re not even a little curious?" Chuntao asked at this moment.
Bai Susu responded calmly, "Not curious at all."
After all, when Shu Kuang comes, he will definitely tell her if it’s true.
Seeing this, Chuntao and Nuanxia could only say dejectedly, "Miss, you’re really too calm."
The entire Bai Mansion was currently discussing the White Deer’s kneeling, weren’t they?
Yet the Miss remained unmoved.
Meanwhile, at the Prince Mansion.
Bai Wanwan looked displeased when she heard about the White Deer.
This was not what she knew.
In her past life, around this time, a White Deer was also discovered within Da Qin, and it was presented to the Emperor.
But strangely, this symbol of good fortune not only failed to delight the Emperor but inexplicably invoked his wrath.
In the end, this White Deer was ordered by the Emperor to be dismembered, and its blood and meat were distributed to the city’s beggars.
The Emperor seemed not to like the White Deer at all.
But this time, the Emperor bestowed the White Deer upon Feng Qiwu, who even released it into the wild.
This different turn of events made her feel as if everything was slipping out of control.
She didn’t understand why things weren’t developing according to the steps of her past life.
Could it be that her rebirth disrupted the original trajectory of the world?
Thinking this, Bai Wanwan felt a bit uneasy in her heart.
But soon, she snapped out of the unease and showed a fierce expression.
So what if the direction of events was different from her past life?
The intelligence she held couldn’t be completely rendered useless.
The outcomes of future events might change, but events that had already happened would definitely not change.
Moreover, if she remembered correctly, during this autumn hunt, Feng Qiwu would have a violent outburst, completely lose control, and turn into a beast that knows nothing but killing.
Assassins sent by other countries would be completely annihilated, let alone a fly at the hunting site escaping his deadly hands. Da Qin also lost a significant number of Golden Scale Guards before finally subduing him when he was exhausted.
Although she was unsure if Feng Qiwu would still go mad this time, based on the previous assassination attempt on the Emperor, there was a high probability he would still go berserk. Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on NoveIꜰire.net
By then, Bai Susu would have been engaged to Feng Qiwu, and the two might act together.
In that case... if Feng Qiwu goes mad, whether Bai Susu can survive until the end of the autumn hunt is uncertain.
It would be best if she ended up like those prey killed by Feng Qiwu, leaving no corpse behind!
And Feng Wuchen and the others, it would be best if they were all killed by Feng Qiwu too!
Thinking of this, a cold smile appeared at the corner of Bai Wanwan’s mouth.
