Seeing that Fang Shan had become alert, Chen Yan thought that he would mount his horse again and catch up with the prince. However, Fang Shan smiled at him, expressed his gratitude for the kindness, and then walked towards the girl who was dodging in the distance.

"Have you seen enough?"

Girl: "I'm looking at the scenery."

Fang Shan smiled faintly: "Nanshan's scenery has taken a lot of blame today."

The girl turned her face away awkwardly.

Fang Shan leaned against the tent nearby: "Name."

Perhaps because she rarely saw the behavior of a gangster in a young girl, the girl sneered and replied, "Li Li."

Fang Shan raised an eyebrow: "Interesting name."

"The last character is my mother's surname."

Fang Shan glanced in Li Yuan's direction: "You want to seek his help."

The girl didn't speak.

Fang Shan: "Since you are destined to be disappointed, why not consider coming to me for help?"

The girl's voice grew colder: "Being your pawn to gain the prince's favor?"

Fang Shan shrugged: "At least I won't let others bully you."

The girl hesitated for a moment: "You..."

Before he finished speaking, Fang Shan's attention was already drawn to the other side: "Little One, Little Two."

As he spoke, he was already walking towards that direction.

The woman in the green dress held an umbrella for him, and the woman in the pink dress fanned him. The girl's expression froze for a moment, and she uttered a sarcastic "huh", shook her head, and walked in the opposite direction.

"Your Highness hasn't returned yet," the woman in the green dress said, "If you want to catch up, there's still time."

Fang Shan waved his hand: "He won't be back for a while."

The woman in the green dress was puzzled.

Fang Shan pointed to a large tree ahead, signaling for them to go under it for some shade. He added, "Your Highness might be thinking the mountains are full of goblins right now."

"Fairy?"

Fang Shan raised the corner of his mouth: "Fox spirit."

The woman in the green dress's question was not answered, but she became even more confused.

In the mountains, the sound of arrows flying through the air can be heard from time to time.

Wei Sushen fixed his gaze on one spot, reined in his horse, drew an arrow, and aimed at the wild deer perched beside a boulder. Just as he was about to release the string, Emperor Chengyuan's words suddenly came to mind.

Of the ten truths, Emperor Chengyuan revealed only a fraction, leaving the rest up to Wei Sushen to guess. He didn't understand pharmacology, but since Emperor Chengyuan had repeatedly warned people to be wary of beautiful women around them, he guessed it had something to do with the woman throwing herself at him.

He now remembered all the melodramatic love stories that the system had read to him day after day. For a moment, he had an absurd illusion that the moment the arrow was shot, a woman would jump out from behind the boulder and fall down after being shot.

The wild deer sensed the murderous intent and ran madly into the distance.

The guards behind him looked at each other, not understanding why the prince would let go of his prey.

As Fang Shan had predicted, Wei Sushen returned late, bringing back only one prey item: a plump wild boar. While not a large kill, it was still quite impressive. These wild boars have thick hides, and if you don't kill them with a single arrow, they'll fight back furiously, often startling horses and causing casualties.

Emperor Chengyuan naturally did not hesitate to praise his son. When praising him, he mentioned Fang Shan and said that she was as capable as any man.

The atmosphere was harmonious and relaxed. Now that they were not in the palace, everyone seemed less rigid. Whether it was true or not was not a consideration.

As it gradually darkened, Chen Yan counted the number of people and ordered the soldiers to make a fire.

Even in the wild mountains and wilderness, the royal ceremony remains magnificent.

Fang Shan took a quick look. Although it was not as good as the dinner in the palace, it was not much worse. Unfortunately, it was not as entertaining as the bonfire party he had imagined.

Wei Sushen saw what he was thinking and said calmly, "If it were on the grassland, your expectation might still be possible."

Fang Shan didn't take his words to heart. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of several unfamiliar faces, both men and women, but most of them were beautiful ladies. He patted Wei Sushen's shoulder in amusement and said, "It seems like I'm going to have to work hard tonight, host."

You have to be on guard against so many people and also find out the troublemakers who want to harm you.

Although he was joking, he was thinking something else in his heart. He was afraid that after returning this time, Wei Sushen would no longer be fascinated by beauty, and would even think that the other party had ulterior motives when he saw a beautiful woman.

From another perspective, I made a lot of money!

The staple food in the mountains is the game they hunt during the day. The royal chef's skills are superb. Every piece of meat is cooked until it is golden and juicy, and the aroma of barbecue can be smelled from a long distance away.

The ministers ate happily, but the ladies and concubines only pretended to pick up their chopsticks and showed no signs of swallowing.

Some worry about their figure, some worry about their skin.

Fang Shan is a breath of fresh air among them, winning one plate after another with no sign of stopping.

"You'll gain weight easily if you eat like this." The woman in the green dress next to him kindly reminded him.

"Waiter," Fang Shan wiped the grease from the corner of his mouth elegantly, "I've been the type of person who's never gained weight, no matter how much I eat."

The woman in the green dress trembled as she poured water for him. She didn't know whether he gained weight from eating too much, but he definitely had a physique that demanded a beating since he was a child.

Fang Shan ate the most, but his attention was the most distracted. He saw Prince An chuckling to himself, and it was obvious he was plotting something. Not long after, the woman in the green dress beside him excused herself and left, returning some time later. Li Li, sitting across from him, shifted his gaze between the Crown Prince and Concubine Li, seemingly weighing their options.

Concubine Li seemed to be in a particularly good mood, as if she had already started making plans.

Fang Shan looked at Wei Sushen who was sitting next to him and chuckled. From this perspective, the host looked like a little lamb being hunted by a pack of wolves.

Just as he was about to look away, he suddenly saw an unexpected figure walk out of the tent and sit at a table in the last row.

Fang Shan leaned towards Wei Sushen and asked, "Why are people from Yuexiu Country here too?"

I didn't even notice it on the way here.

Wei Sushen: "The Princess of Yuexiu is ill. She has not left her carriage and has not participated in hunting."

Fang Shan said "Oh" and gave him a sympathetic look: "It's hard to guard against."

After traveling through so many worlds, Wei Sushen's perception had become even sharper. All those malicious gazes from all directions gathered around him. Compared to them, the system turned out to be the most harmless existence.

His aura was already strong, his face darkened, and his whole body gave off an aura that said "keep away from strangers."

The woman in green dress's hand trembled as she poured him water, and the tea spilled out. She was startled and quickly begged for mercy.

Before Wei Sushen could get angry, Fang Shan said, "It's just a small matter."

At this kind of banquet, having your clothes splashed with water and then being led to a small room and drugged are all normal strategies.

Wei Sushen got up to change his clothes. Fang Shan observed everyone's expressions. When he saw a smile flash across Concubine Li's lips, he immediately looked in the direction of Li Li, only to find that the person had disappeared without a trace.

Fang Shan hurried to eat, preparing to cooperate in catching the adulterer later.

Wei Sushen thought the same thing as him, thinking it was a trap set by someone with ulterior motives. He held his breath from the moment he entered to prevent himself from inhaling the incense. However, while he slowly changed his clothes, no one came forward to throw themselves at him.

On the other side, Fang Shan was busy eating when a palace attendant suddenly approached and whispered, "The Crown Prince is calling you over."

Fang Shan nodded and followed him without asking any questions.

After passing one tent after another, the palace servant suddenly stopped and said, "Your Highness is inside."

After the curtain was opened, surprisingly, only Li Li was standing there. Seeing the surprise in Fang Shan's eyes, Li Li sat on the chair and asked, "Are you surprised that you didn't see the Crown Prince and I in the same room in dishevel?"

Fang Shan's expression returned to calm, and he said with a smile, "I am indeed a little surprised."

Li Li: "According to Concubine Li's wishes, that's how it should be." Then she walked over to Fang Shan, exposed a section of her wrist and placed it under his nose: "Does it smell good?"

Fang Shan nodded.

Li Li withdrew his hand. "This fragrance, mixed with the cold-heart grass in the dense forest, will induce sexual desire." He suddenly stopped and looked inquiringly. "Why don't you react?"

She clearly saw this man going hunting during the day. There were countless cold-heart grasses in the mountains, so he must have absorbed some of them.

Fang Shan laughed without explaining why: "There are only two of us here. If I let my beastly nature run wild..."

"I don't mind." Li Li said calmly.

“…”

Fang Shan sighed: "If I don't go back, I'm afraid others will get suspicious."

The people who came with him today were all shrewd people. When they saw the Crown Prince's clothes were wet, their eyes changed to some extent. However, not long after, the Crown Prince returned, but the Crown Princess disappeared. After a while, the Crown Princess and Li Fei's sister returned one after another. During this time, Li Fei's sister looked at the Crown Princess with a look that seemed to have a thousand words in her eyes, but she didn't even glance at the Crown Prince.

What is this about?

Emperor Chengyuan frowned, thinking that Li Yuan had interfered, and Li Yuan also looked puzzled.

Everyone had different thoughts, and they didn't forget to say polite words.

Emperor Chengyuan was always good at hiding his emotions. He looked at the crowd with a gentle smile on his face: "I remember that it was Minister Chen who won the first prize in the hunting competition last year."

Prince An put down the cup he was about to drink and said with a smile, "I've heard that General Chen can take the enemy's head from a thousand meters away on the battlefield."

Chen Yan's voice was calm: "Your Highness might be listening to the Book of Heaven."

If he had the ability to take people's heads from a thousand meters away, he would have led his troops in sneak attacks every day.

Prince An looked a little embarrassed. He didn't expect Chen Yan to not dare to give him any face at all.

Emperor Chengyuan smoothed things over: "General Chen is indeed formidable."

Chen Yan was about to say a few words of humility, but suddenly his eyes narrowed: "Protect the emperor!"

Almost at the same time he opened his mouth, three or four arrows flew through the air.

Fang Shan, who was cracking melon seeds, almost choked. These arrows were actually shot at him.

At the critical moment, Fang Shan put down the melon seeds in his hand and was about to catch the arrow with his bare hands, but the woman in the green skirt suddenly opened her arms to block him. The woman in the pink skirt was even faster and quickly pulled the prince in front of Fang Shan to block the arrow for him.

Wei Sushen shouted, "Get down."

The arrow passed over one of the men's head, knocking off a few strands of hair and lodging in the thick tree trunk behind him.

Chen Yan had already drawn his sword, and the imperial guards surrounded the dense forest.

Li Li rushed over and stood in front of Fang Shan: "Are you okay?"

The woman in the green dress said: "Quickly call the imperial physician, the Crown Princess's hand is injured!"

Fang Shan lowered his head and saw the wound on his wrist which was only the size of a green bean, and he stopped talking.

After the initial panic passed, everyone's eyes turned to the voice and saw that the Crown Princess was well protected, and the women around her all had concerned faces.

Looking at the prince again... the surroundings are deserted.

Emperor Chengyuan sat on a high throne, his eyelids twitching constantly. If he saw it correctly, the prince seemed to be taken by a woman awarded by the empress dowager to shield the princess from arrows.

The author has something to say: Fang Shan: ...win with ease!

Wei Sushen: ...

Fang Shan: Don’t think about it, you still have me.

Wei Sushen: ...No, I don’t deserve it.
