Chapter 408: Was her position as Crown Princess given to her by someone else?

However, Chen Fenghe's heart moved, and she asked calmly: "Whose princess is your princess? Why is she so unfair to the prince? What is her relationship with the prince? If you answer me obediently, perhaps I will consider saving your princess..."

Upon hearing this, the attendant hurriedly replied, "My...my princess is...Mu Qing, the legitimate daughter of Dingbei Earl Mu Xuan. Her mother was the current emperor's cousin, who died in childbirth. His Majesty took pity on the princess's motherlessness at a young age, so he made an exception and conferred the title of Princess on her. My princess has been stationed with the general in the northern border for many years. When the crown prince led his troops to war, he once joined my general in attacking the Northern Rong, and that's how they got to know each other."

After hearing this, Chen Fenghe couldn't help but feel a pang of pain in his heart.

They are indeed childhood sweethearts, otherwise... why would she call him so affectionately and why would she feel so sorry for him?

"Crown Princess, please have mercy and save my princess! My general, Mu Xuan, the Earl of Dingbei, has always supported the Crown Prince. This time, because the Second Prince is selecting an imperial consort, he sent an envoy to the Earl's Mansion to bring the princess to the capital. My general has asked the two of us to temporarily leave the Earl's Mansion with the princess, as he doesn't want to associate with the Second and Sixth Princes' factions. Crown Princess, even if you blame my princess for being reckless and unruly, please consider our Earl's Mansion's loyalty to the Crown Prince, and for His Highness' sake, please save my princess! Even before the Crown Prince was murdered by the treacherous, he always loved and doted on my princess. His spirit in heaven would certainly not want to see my princess die..."

This last sentence actually aroused Shen Fenghe's rebellious psychology.

She raised her eyebrows slightly, and a sneer flashed in her eyes.

Love pampering?

If this is true, then Xiao Yunshuo will probably lose his patience and come out soon, right?

After all, he should be nearby.

Just now, this follower was restrained by the Xue, and then he was freed from the Xue. This must be his work.

She wanted to see how much he loved to pamper the princess.

Seeing her unmoved, the attendant grew increasingly desperate, and spoke angrily, "Crown Princess, I've heard that you saved Youzhou City from the plague and the people of the city. I thought you were kindhearted, but why are you so cold-blooded and cruel now? My princess only wanted to punish you because you remarried before the Crown Prince's body was cold. Why are you so vicious that you want to watch my princess die? You... are not worthy of being the Crown Princess at all! If my princess hadn't given way that day, you would never have married the Crown Prince!"

Tsk!

Shen Fenghe couldn't help but sneer.

It turns out that her position as Crown Princess was given to her by someone else.

"That's a strange thing to say. Did I bite your princess? This snake is native to this mountain. She accidentally stumbled into its lair and got bit. And your princess actually caught five or six snakes to scare me. Why should I save someone who's trying to harm me? Even if the snake isn't venomous, what if I'm scared to death? What if I accidentally roll down the steep slope while trying to dodge it? Will you be so kind as to save me? A prefecture official is allowed to set a fire, but a commoner is not allowed to light a lamp."

The follower was speechless for a moment.

Although the princess did ask them to catch non-venomous snakes to scare Chen Fenghe.

But if what Chen Fenghe described really happened, and Chen Fenghe fell into danger because of their intimidation, he had no confidence that his princess would realize that she was in the wrong and feel guilty and save her.

The greater possibility is that the princess will say that this is God's will, that the Crown Princess brought trouble upon herself, and that even God could not bear to see it and arranged it this way, and then... he would watch her die without saving her.

However, if the princess died here, the general would never let them off easily, which meant that they would lose their lives.

He must ask the Crown Princess to rescue him!

what to do?

Just when the follower was feeling anxious and didn't know what to do, a male voice suddenly came to his ears.

"My lady, you made me look so hard."

The person who spoke was naturally Xiao Yunshuo.

Chen Fenghe was not surprised, but...his appearance still made her heart ache.

Is he reluctant to let this little princess whom he has always loved and doted on die?

However, no matter how much pain she felt in her heart, Chen Fenghe didn't show it on her face. Instead, she turned around and looked at Xiao Yunshuo with a smile: "Husband, why are you here? Didn't we agree to have a competition to see who can catch the wild boar the best?"

Xiao Yunshuo looked at the three people on the ground and said with a smile, "I was worried about you, so I came here. Who are these three people?"

Who doesn't know how to act?

"They say she's the daughter of the Earl of Dingbei, a princess personally appointed by the Emperor. I heard she was childhood sweethearts with the Crown Prince. No one knows how they ended up in the mountains, and now this little princess has been bitten by a snake. Husband, what do you think... should I save her, or not?"

Xiao Yunshuo looked at Chen Fenghe with a wry smile in his heart.

He naturally knew that she already knew that he had seen everything that had just happened.

He should even be thankful that she did not point out the fact that Mu Qing and his followers threw snakes at her and bit her, and did not force him to choose between the two.

Although he knew she would be angry, he still had to do it.

"My wife is a skilled doctor. You should show mercy to her if you can. If you can save her, please save her life." Xiao Yunshuo said.

Although I knew that the moment he showed up, he must have come to save people, knowing it rationally was different from hearing it with my own ears.

Chen Fenghe took a deep breath and suppressed the pain in her heart.

She smiled and said, "Okay. I'll save you."

After sending the grown men away, Chen Fenghe took out the serum from the space and injected it into Mu Qing.

The effect of the serum was immediate and Mu Qing woke up quickly.

She looked around in a daze, and when she noticed Xiao Yunshuo, she suddenly reached out excitedly to grab Xiao Yunshuo's hand.

Fortunately, Xiao Yunshuo was agile and dodged in time, and Mu Qing's hand only briefly touched the fabric of his sleeve.

"Brother Prince!" Mu Qing cried out in a crying voice, obviously her consciousness had not yet fully recovered.

When the attendant saw her wake up, he couldn't help but be overjoyed and called out happily, "Princess! You're awake!"

"Brother Prince! You are Brother Prince! I knew you were not dead yet!" Mu Qing ignored him and instead pounced towards Xiao Yunshuo's shadow.

Xiao Yunshuo frowned slightly and glanced at Chen Fenghe subconsciously, but he had already taken another step back quickly.

Mu Qing missed, and the snake venom in his body had not yet been completely eliminated, so his legs went weak and he fell to the ground.

Chen Fenghe watched coldly from the side. Seeing this, she couldn't help but give Xiao Yunshuo a cold glance, and her mood inexplicably improved a little.

Humph! You still know how to dodge.

But...it soon got worse again.

Who knows if he was just pretending to be afraid of his true identity being discovered? Or if he had actually wanted to hold this distant cousin, the princess, in his arms and comfort her for a long time?!

Chen Fenghe realized that she was jealous and sulking, and couldn't help but curl the corners of her mouth in self-mockery.

The most ironic thing is that she knew it was pathetic to be jealous and sulking over a man, but she still couldn't control herself.

"Princess, wake up. That's not His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has already..."

"No! He is the Crown Prince. The Crown Prince must not be dead..."

When Chen Fenghe saw that the person was rescued, she didn't want to watch the heartbreaking love scene where the person was so close to her but couldn't recognize her.

She turned around and took down the darts and the snake that were nailed to the tree trunk, put them into the bamboo basket she was carrying, and then turned and walked into the depths of the dense forest.

It would be better to hunt a few more prey, have a good meal, get some furs, and make a few fur coats for Yichuan Qingxing!

She originally thought that Xiao Yunshuo would stay and wait for the little princess to wake up, and then escort her down the mountain. He would then ask Yuan Xu to arrange for someone to send her to Youzhou City safely - or even take her directly back to the Yun Mansion.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she started to leave, Xiao Yunshuo chased after her and asked, "My wife, where are you going? Wait for me. It's dangerous in the mountains. Let your husband protect you."

Chen Fenghe: “…”

Such awkward and disgusting words are not Xiao Yunshuo's style at all!

Come to think of it, the 'young fool' he was when he lost his memory might have said something like this.

Chen Fenghe almost got goosebumps all over her body, so she had to walk away quickly at a faster pace.

Xiao Yunshuo chased after her without looking back, shouting, "My lady, wait a minute, don't walk so fast..."

Chen Fenghe was agile and followed the footprints left by the wild beast. After many twists and turns, he soon tracked down a lone wild boar.

She simply bent her bow and shot an arrow, which hit a wild boar's eye.

The wild boar screamed in pain and rushed towards Chen Fenghe.

Chen Fenghe was not afraid of danger. With a "whoosh" sound, the second arrow that had been on the bowstring was shot out again and hit the neck of the wild boar that was charging at him.

But the wild boar was also ferocious. Even after being hit by two fatal arrows, it still had amazing brute strength and rushed towards Chen Fenghe without slowing down, carrying the arrows with it.

The distance had shrunk so close that it was no longer possible to bend the bow and shoot an arrow. Chen Fenghe casually pulled out a dagger from his boot and waited calmly.

Her close combat skills were not wasted, and she could subdue a mere injured wild boar.

Xiao Yunshuo rushed over and was shocked to see her thin figure, but she looked like she was ready to fight a wild boar weighing hundreds of pounds. His back was soaked with cold sweat.

He knew that she had just turned around and left, and she didn't respond when he called her, so she must be angry.

He came here intentionally to hunt wild boars, probably just to vent his anger.

She is a very good archer, and with him secretly protecting her, ordinary wild boars would probably not be able to do anything to her, so he is not that worried.

But this wild boar is still so ferocious even after being hit by two arrows. I'm afraid it must be the king of wild boars.

Even a strong hunter would be aware of the danger and evacuate immediately when encountering such a wild boar.

But she actually took out a dagger and planned to fight head-on!

Xiao Yunshuo was extremely anxious. Originally, in order to calm her down, he just followed her from a distance and did not get too close. But now, he was so frightened that he used the best lightness skills he had learned in his life and rushed towards Chen Fenghe like a sharp arrow.

The wild boar roared and appeared before her eyes in the blink of an eye. The closer Chen Fenghe got to danger, the calmer she became. She was ready to take action and was about to use the power of a large rock next to her to jump onto the wild boar's back.

Suddenly, a black shadow stood between her and the wild boar. The next second, the wild boar fell to the ground with a scream. Its huge head had been almost split in half by a knife, with blood and brains dripping all over the place. It was not a pleasant scene at all.

Xiao Yunshuo turned around, frowned, and looked at Chen Fenghe gloomily.

You can be angry, but why put yourself in danger like this?

Just as he was about to start preaching, Shen Fenghe spoke first.

"You hunted this wild boar, but I won't let you go next time."

After saying that, he turned around and left without looking back, continuing to follow the traces left by the wild boar into the mountains.

Xiao Yunshuo: "..."

Even though he was in the wrong first, why did he want to grab this young woman and give her a good knock on the head to see how crazy she was?

I was angry and helpless, but at the same time, some suspicions arose in my heart.

In the past, he knew that his Crown Princess was no ordinary noble lady.

But... even if it was because her father disliked her since she was a child and she was thrown into the farm at will, she learned a lot of skills from the hunters, doctors and other people on the farm.

Just now, when she faced the injured, rampaging and ferocious wild boar, she was indeed not afraid at all.

He felt no fear in her.

That kind of calmness and composure can only be achieved after facing many more dangerous dangers and life-and-death moments.

Ordinary people might not understand this kind of thing, but he had been leading troops into battle since he was a teenager. He had fought hand-to-hand with the Northern Rong Army countless times, faced life and death countless times, and... killed his opponents countless times, only then did he reach this point.

Not long after his Crown Princess was brought from the farm to the Shen family in the capital, she married him. How did she develop such calmness and fearlessness in the face of danger?

Chen Fenghe quickly caught up with the other wild boars.

This is a small herd of wild boars, with thirty adult wild boars and several half-grown wild boar cubs.

However, even an adult wild boar is much smaller than the one just now.

It seems that the one who was left alone just now should be the leader of this tribe. He was just separated from the tribe for a while to deal with the aftermath, and was not lost and alone.

Chen Fenghe bent his bow and shot an arrow.

These adult wild boars were not that ferocious. They were all killed with one arrow. At most, they struggled for a while, and after being shot by Chen Fenghe with another arrow, they all died.

However, recuperation in the mountains is also very important, so Chen Fenghe deliberately let go of the half-grown wild boar cubs and a female wild boar.

After the wild boars fled in panic and disappeared, Chen Fenghe went forward to check on his prey.

Then he subconsciously glanced behind him.

Xiao Yunshuo naturally followed.

However, this time he did not take action again, but just watched Shen Fenghe hunt the wild boar quietly.

Chen Fenghe sighed slightly in her heart.
