Unlike Xiao Yuanche, who was ignorant and incompetent, she was well-read and had seen this kind of snake in books.

This type of snake is only found in the Yun Kingdom, which borders the Yue Kingdom.

It is called the taipan snake. It is large, strong, and extremely venomous.

There must have been some involvement of people from Yun Kingdom in this.

"Make way! Make way!"

At that moment, another commotion arose outside the crowd.

It turned out that Chen Shi'en from the Ministry of War had returned with a team, along with several prisoners and two donkey carts.

Inside the wooden cage on the vehicle were two mountain tigers.

What's going on?

"Is this year's spring hunt going on such a big scale?"

"Shut up, it's obviously... never mind, you don't need to understand. You're not allowed to go out for the next two days, and get the hell home as soon as the spring hunt is over."

Young people can only see the surface of the problem.

The adults, however, immediately saw the danger.

This spring hunt is likely to be anything but peaceful!

When Xiao Yuanshuang saw the two mountain tigers, everything went black.

She clearly only arranged for one, so what about the other one? What's going on with this giant snake?

No!

That's not the point.

The key point is that Chen Shi'en also brought back the living people who were supposed to be handling the matter.

The crowd of onlookers was dispersed.

Before leaving, Qi Yuan said to everyone with a smile, "This snake meat is delicious and very rare. Tonight, heroes are welcome to come and enjoy the snake meat soup."

oops.

This is so tempting!

The young noblemen's hearts, which had just been suppressed, began to stir again.

I've never eaten such a big snake before!

Of course, some observant people noticed that the number of imperial guards at the imperial palace had more than doubled.

They surrounded His Majesty's courtyard completely.

Qi Yuan, Li Xuanji, along with the six ministers and the two prime ministers, were all with Murong Yue at this moment.

The two prime ministers had no interest in the spring hunt, so they only sent their family members, while they stayed at home to relax.

Who could have imagined that such a big incident would occur during the spring hunt?

Upon receiving the news, they rushed to the ceremony.

On the table in front of Murong Yue were several items: a purse, several testimonies, and two fangs that had been deveined.

She first picked up the fang and played with it for a while.

I wonder what kind of toothpaste this snake uses; its teeth are incredibly white.

Snakes are a bit disgusting, but their teeth are quite fun.

He put the two snake fangs aside and picked up the purse.

Qi Yuan stepped forward and said, “Your Majesty, it has been verified that this pouch contained powder that attracts wild beasts.”

"The powdered medicine has already been processed by the imperial physician."

"The imperial physician said that this powder would attract porcupines, snakes, and insects."

"I found it not far from where you killed the giant snake."

Murong Yue frowned in disdain.

medicine...

She hates taking medicine.

Whose is it?

Murong Anle stepped forward and, after receiving permission, picked up the purse to examine it carefully. "It is indeed made with Yue materials and techniques. This color is usually used by women..."

Among the Yue women in the hunting grounds, there was Xiao Yuanshuang's side.

Chen Shi'en said in a muffled voice, "The prisoners have all been interrogated, and they said that the Third Princess of Yue Kingdom ordered it."

"The testimonies have all been signed."

hiss--

The other ministers and the prime minister all gasped in shock. Although there was a possibility that this was a frame-up, there was undeniable evidence and witness testimony.

How do you explain that?

Li Xuanji was deep in thought, his hands tucked inside his sleeves, his eyes filled with a chilling intensity.

At this stage, it's not his business anymore; what he needs to do is find out that the mastermind behind this is the Yun Kingdom.

This type of taipan snake can only be found there.

Moreover, it's not like just any random person from Yunguo can catch this thing.

This snake is highly venomous, and special training is required to tame and capture it.

As far as he knew, these snake catchers all served the royal family.

Then he recalled the news he had received earlier, which said that Yun Kingdom had indeed been acting dishonestly lately.

Unexpectedly, they even reached out to His Majesty.

Murong Yue scratched her head. She had been using her brain too much lately, and she had accidentally understood what had happened.

First, someone released a tiger cub.

That's right, in her eyes, this kind of mountain tiger is just a cub without any mutations.

They used the tiger cub to attract attention, and then released another tiger cub to lull people into a false sense of security.

What you really need to do is let that disgusting giant snake eat you.

The mastermind behind all of this is Xiao Yuanshuang, who lost the competition today.

She threw her purse on the table.

"Call her over."

She wanted to see what other tricks this dead duck had up its sleeve!

They really can't take a joke; they have to resort to beast taming just because they lost the contest?

Meanwhile, Xiao Yuanshuang was filled with anxiety after returning to her residence.

Force yourself to calm down and think of a solution.

I was taken advantage of, and it's hard to say who took advantage of me.

That idiot second brother couldn't have come up with such a perfect idea.

They must be people from the Yun Kingdom hiding in the shadows.

I'll probably be pushed out to be the scapegoat and take the blame for everything.

What we need to do now is protect ourselves.

"Cherry, did you get a good look at the prisoners brought back from the Ministry of Justice today?"

“I see clearly, I don’t recognize any of them, I’ve never seen them before, and the people we arranged are not inside,” Cherry can confirm this.

Xiao Yuanshuang took a deep breath.

"Cherry, let's do this..."

"Better safe than sorry..."

Sure enough, just as the two finished getting ready, an imperial guard came to deliver a message, requesting that Xiao Yuanshuang come to see His Majesty.

Xiao Yuanshuang remained calm and followed along with Cherry.

After she left, Xiao Yuanche, who was in the next room in the courtyard, sat down, clutching his chest.
