The Fourth Prince immediately said, "Why don't we just follow my instructions and split into three groups? My brother and Lord Wei will go east, Lord Xiao and your wife will go west, and my sister, the Crown Prince's wife, and I will go north."
The princess immediately responded, "I just heard there are wild deer in the forests to the north. Fourth Brother's idea is exactly what I was thinking." She turned to look at the Crown Prince, her eyes full of anticipation, "Brother, is this the deal?"
The prince's eyes swept across everyone's faces, and finally stopped at Xiao Yunchen's tense face, and he smiled with satisfaction.
In a condescending tone, he said, "Since my sister has asked, I must naturally give her this favor."
He lightly kicked the horse's belly and said, "Wei Qing, go ahead. Don't let people think that you can't hunt prey, but it's us who are dragged down by our hidden arrows."
Wei Jiangsheng still stared at Xiao Yunchen somewhat unwillingly, and finally looked deeply at Li Nian and Li Sisi.
Then he followed the prince without saying a word.
Li Sisi watched the two people leave and whispered in frustration: "Chenchen, was I too impulsive just now?"
Xiao Yunchen smiled soothingly: "It's okay."
He clasped his fists towards the Fourth Prince and Princess and said, "Thank you, Your Highness the Fourth Prince and Princess, for rescuing me just now."
Both of them smiled and waved their hands indifferently.
The Fourth Prince said, "Be careful. This palace sees that Wei Jiangsheng has ill intentions towards you. You two should be careful when you go alone."
Xiao Yunchen bowed and thanked him, and they agreed to meet back here at 3 p.m.
Li Nian nodded and said goodbye to Li Sisi.
Watching the two of them leave, worry rose in my heart.
Wei Jiangsheng and Wei Jiangyi are a family, right?
It seems that the man is really coming for the Xiao family.
————
As the princess had said, there were indeed wild deer in the northern mountains and forests.
However, what attracted Li Nian was not the wild deer, but the extremely lush old locust trees.
The branches of the trees are hung with dense white locust flowers, and the fragrance of locust flowers fills the entire mountain forest.
Li Nian has already thought of countless ways to cook locust flowers, so it seems that this trip was not in vain.
She greeted the princess and went happily to pick locust flowers.
The Fourth Prince jokingly said, "This is the first time I've seen someone not hunting but picking flowers."
The princess smiled and explained, "Nian Nian usually loves cooking, so she's naturally more interested in flowers that can be used in cooking."
The Fourth Prince tsk- ...
When the princess heard what he said, she said unhappily, "This matter has nothing to do with whether I am a man or a woman. Besides, I truly regard her as a good friend and have no other thoughts."
The Fourth Prince: "Do you believe this?"
The princess murmured, "I'm not short of women." She looked at the Fourth Prince with a confused look in her eyes, "Brother, what's the difference between liking someone and loving someone?"
The Fourth Prince said nonchalantly, "As a member of the royal family, there's no point in talking about love or not. If you like someone, you'll find out how to get them. Once you get them, you'll find out that it's nothing special."
Princess: "Is this why my brother always covets other people's wives?"
The Fourth Prince was choked by her words and said angrily, "What nonsense! I, your royal brother, simply like mature, charming, and romantic women."
He paused, then added, "But... things like love are boring if they're done openly. It's more fun to enjoy it secretly behind someone else's back."
Princess:……
"Imperial sister! There's a deer!" The fourth prince suddenly exclaimed.
The princess immediately looked in the direction of his finger and saw a deer's head vaguely visible among the bushes in the distance, looking around in panic.
At this time, Li Nian was picking locust flowers with great interest, thinking about what dishes to cook when she returned home, when she suddenly heard the voice of the system.
[Host, Host Sisi and the others have encountered an assassin! ]
Li Nian was startled, and the locust flowers in his hand fell to the ground with a "bang".
I hurriedly asked: [Where are Sisi and the others? Are there any special signs nearby?]
System answer: [They are on the west mountain, next to a stream.]
Suddenly, the system exclaimed: [Wait, aren't the prince and Wei Jiangsheng across the stream? Wei Jiangsheng...]
There was no sound afterwards. I didn't know what emergency had happened.
Li Nian called out twice but received no response, and her panic grew worse.
She immediately jumped on her horse and said to the princess over there, "Tongtong, I'm going to the West Mountain to look for Sisi. I'll be leaving first."
The princess asked in confusion, "Why did Nian Nian suddenly want to go find her?"
The Fourth Prince also said, "Didn't we agree to meet at 3 p.m.? Why are you in such a hurry to find her?"
"There's danger on Sisi's side. My intuition is always accurate..." Li Nian had already ridden away on his horse. When he heard the two people asking questions, he answered in a hoarse voice.
The sound spread in the wind and gradually faded away.
The princess frowned and said in a deep voice, "Fourth brother, let's follow him." After that, she rode her horse in the direction where Li Nian left.
The fourth prince looked at the lone deer over there with reluctance.
His deerskin! His deer antlers! His deer blood!
The deer's body is full of rare treasures!
The Fourth Prince gritted his teeth, turned his horse around and followed.
At this time, at the foot of the mountain in the west.
Li Sisi and Xiao Yunchen first encountered a group of deer that fled to the east in panic.
Xiao Yunchen noticed something was wrong and quickly reminded: "These deer seem frightened. There must be something dangerous chasing them."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the sound of footsteps, followed by the sound of arrows whizzing through the air.
