Her little mouth pursed and tears fell. The young master felt so distressed that he kept kissing Xiao Chaochao's tender cheeks.

The two, one big and one small, were very close. Han Xiao followed beside them and helplessly put his arms around the young master's waist, asking him to pay attention to his feet.

When I returned to the tent, Han Mingyuan was not there. I guess he went to the front to watch the fun, which was very lively at that time.

Many princes and nobles came back from hunting, and those who were on good terms with Han Mingyuan would definitely invite them over.

Han Xiao first settled the young master down. The young master was really tired after running around outside all day.

On the first day of the new year, the young master made the bed, held Chaochao in his arms, and fell asleep on the bed.

Han Xiao looked at the young master's sweet sleeping face and couldn't help but stare at him in a daze. What happened today caught him off guard.

No one expected that the Fourth Princess would go crazy in front of the Emperor. She deserved such an end because of her own actions. However, even if the Emperor did not punish the Fourth Princess, Han Xiao would not let her go.

Having the emperor handle the matter saved Han Xiao a lot of effort, but today's events were strange in every way. Han Xiao always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't remember what it was for a while.

The third prince and the fifth prince came back one after another. The third prince handed the prey to the palace servants to count and then nodded to the fifth prince.

Among the several princes in the palace, Chu Jinglin and the fifth prince were relatively harmonious, so the two could still maintain some face when they met.

"Fifth brother, it seems that we have made quite a harvest this time." Chu Jinglin said as he looked at the prey behind the fifth prince.

The Fifth Prince was not good at other things, but he was very familiar with hunting: "Third brother is not bad either."

As he said this, he jumped off his horse and prepared to take his men to the emperor.

Chu Jinglin knew the character of the Fifth Prince very well, and knew that he was just that kind of person, so he didn't feel angry. He just shrugged and followed the Fifth Prince to find the Emperor.

There was already a cheer in the camp, and many of the hunted prey had been processed by the palace servants and placed in front of everyone.

The further Chu Jinglin walked inside, the more he felt something was amiss, because many palace servants and ministers were looking at the Fifth Prince in a subtle way.

The ministers who were on the Fifth Prince's side also looked at the Fifth Prince, wanting to speak but hesitant, because the Third Prince was also there and they could only stay where they were and dared not step forward.

The third prince frowned and simply found an excuse to go back, deciding to meet the emperor later.

He also wanted to know what had happened in such a short period of time.

Immediately after the Third Prince left, the Fifth Prince's confidant came forward and whispered in the Fifth Prince's ear about the Fourth Princess and Concubine Li.

Although those people outside the emperor's tent could not hear clearly, many people saw the fourth princess being taken away.

Sure enough, when the Fifth Prince learned that the Fourth Princess was imprisoned by the Emperor, his face changed drastically. He pushed aside the palace servants and strode into the Emperor's tent.

Unfortunately, the emperor already knew that the fifth prince would come to plead for mercy, so he asked Eunuch Dexi to guard outside the tent.

"This old servant greets the Fifth Prince." Eunuch Dexi bowed and saluted.

The fifth prince helped Eunuch Dexi up and said anxiously, "Eunuch, is the emperor here?"

Eunuch Dexi saw that the Fifth Prince was so anxious that sweat was coming out on his forehead. He knew that he came here because of the Fourth Princess, but the Emperor had already ordered that the Fifth Prince should not be seen.

"Fifth Prince, His Majesty has rested after a long day of hard work. If you wish to see him, please come back another day."

The Fifth Prince became even more anxious upon hearing this, and he tightly grabbed Eunuch Dexi's arm and said, "Eunuch, you know I'm here for my mother, so please let me see my father."

Eunuch Dexi sighed and shook his head, then continued, "Fifth Prince, please forgive me for being so nosy. It would be useless for you to go to His Majesty now. His Majesty is already furious. Wouldn't it be more troublesome if you went there now?"

After hearing what Eunuch Dexi said, the Fifth Prince calmed down. He knew that Eunuch Dexi was telling the truth. He felt like he had grabbed a lifeline and said earnestly, "Eunuch, please teach me how to do it."

Eunuch Dexi patted the Fifth Prince on the shoulder. The Fifth Prince was not a bad person and the Emperor valued him. This time, the Fourth Princess was punished mainly because she asked for it. However, the Fifth Prince was innocent and the Emperor did not want to vent his anger on him, so he asked Eunuch Dexi to guard outside the tent.

Seeing the Fifth Prince about to cry, Eunuch Dexi felt distressed, as he had watched these children grow up.

Where had I seen the Fifth Prince look so helpless? Eunuch Dexi was silent for a while before whispering to the Fifth Prince: "Your Highness, don't be anxious. His Majesty is angry right now, and the Fourth Princess is also His Majesty's most beloved daughter. Once the Fourth Princess realizes her mistake, His Majesty will let her out. Please wait a little longer."

Wait, how long do we have to wait?

By the end, the opportunity might have gone cold, and the fifth prince now has no idea why the fourth princess was punished by the emperor.

He wanted to ask Eunuch Dexi, but Eunuch Dexi just shook his head and said nothing.

This matter is not a secret, but it must never come out of his mouth.

Seeing that Eunuch Dexi refused to speak, the Fifth Prince had no choice but to leave sadly. The Emperor would not see him, and he could not force his way in. What should he do?

The fifth prince was extremely confused, and suddenly he remembered that his grandfather was still alive. General Li was in charge of the emperor's safety during the autumn hunt. Perhaps his father would show mercy for the sake of his grandfather?

Thinking of this, the Fifth Prince had a plan in mind and turned to find General Li.

On the way to General Li's tent, the second prince had been waiting there for a long time.

He came back much earlier than the Fifth Prince and was waiting for the Fifth Prince here on purpose.

When the fifth prince saw the second prince, his brows furrowed, not understanding what the second prince was doing here.

Because of Hu Yansui's incident, the fifth prince became increasingly disgusted with the second prince. The second prince even wanted to persuade the emperor to let the fourth princess marry Beidi.

So now the Fifth Prince doesn't look happy when he sees the Second Prince.

The Second Prince was not annoyed. He stepped forward to block the Fifth Prince's path and said with a smile, "Fifth brother, are you going to go find General Li?"

The fifth prince said impatiently: "What's it to you? Get out of the way."

The Second Prince circled around the Fifth Prince and continued with a smile, "Fifth brother, I am your second brother after all. Why do we two brothers have to make such an ugly scene? And don't you want to know what happened today?"

Hearing what the Second Prince said, the Fifth Prince's expression changed. The Second Prince continued to strike while the iron was hot: "Fifth brother, if you go to see General Li now, I'm sure General Li won't see you at this moment."

In order to protect the emperor's safety, General Li stayed in the camp.

He had known for a long time that the Fourth Princess and Concubine Li had been taken away, but he had not yet asked to see the emperor because he knew that it was useless to go to the emperor at this time.
