Chapter 131 I'm Afraid
Bai Shaochuan suddenly stopped talking.
Shen Baoqing leaned closer to him and lowered his voice: "Let's not talk about what Yaoyao thinks of Lu Sui for now, but after being bitten by the snake this time, I can see that Lu Sui does not completely lose his feelings for Yaoyao."
Seeing that Bai Shaochuan remained silent, Shen Baoqing poked his arm with his hand.
"You understand what I'm saying?"
Bai Shaochuan, who had originally lowered his eyebrows, raised his eyes to look at her, "I understand, but I won't give up easily. As long as she doesn't get married, I will have a chance."
"Good job." Shen Baoqing gave him a thumbs up, "Although I want her to be my sister-in-law, there is no difference between my cousin's sister-in-law and my biological sister-in-law."
"Come on cousin, I'm rooting for you."
Bai Shaochuan smiled lightly and rubbed her head with his hand: "Okay!"
…
Before the hunt begins, everyone gathers at the foot of the mountain.
With flags waving and trumpets blasting, Lu Sui in a black riding uniform sat on his horse, while Duan Yanzhou in a white riding uniform, the two men, one in black and one in white, protected the emperor from behind, like the "black and white devils".
But because both of them were of high social status, good looks, straight bodies, and outstanding temperaments, even though they both had cold faces, they still attracted many girls to look at them.
Pei Yunjin, in particular, kept glancing at Lu Sui's figure. After doing so many times, her younger sister Pei Yunzhu saw her and teased her.
"We are used to seeing Lord Lu in his official robes, but today's riding attire is even more outstanding."
She said as she moved closer to Pei Yunjin, "Oh, someone's eyes are wide open."
"Hateful." Pei Yunjin withdrew his gaze, his cheeks flushed, and he was about to hit her with the whip, but Pei Yunzhu dodged him.
The two of them laughed and joked for a while, and Pei Yunzhu looked around: "Hey, why don't I see Sister Fan? Isn't she here today?"
Pei Yunjin pulled the corners of his lips.
"I heard that Bai Shaochuan didn't come. She probably thought it was boring and didn't want to come."
"Sister Fan really has a special liking for Mr. Bai." Pei Yunzhu curled her lips and stopped talking.
Before she finished speaking, a coquettish voice came.
"Pei Yunzhu, Yaoyao was bitten by a poisonous snake. You were the one who released the snake, right?"
Pei Yunzhu's heart skipped a beat, and she subconsciously looked at her sister Pei Yunjin.
Pei Yunjin lowered his brows and looked at no one, but tightened his grip on the reins.
"Hey, Pei Yunzhu, are you deaf? I'm asking you a question. Did you release the poisonous snake that bit Yaoyao?"
Pei Yunzhu quickly looked up at Princess Jiayi who was a few steps away.
A face flushed red.
"Princess, please don't wrongly accuse a good person. I am naturally afraid of snakes. How could I let a snake bite someone?"
"Hmph, just because you're afraid of people doesn't mean the people around you are afraid of snakes." Princess Jiayi sat upright on her horse, looking down at her condescendingly. "If I find out that it was you who hurt Yaoyao, I will never let you go."
She said this, withdrew her gaze, kicked the horse's belly, and left first.
Being scolded by the princess in front of so many people, and when the eyes of those around her fell on her, Pei Yunzhu's face turned red.
How could she have suffered such injustice?
I couldn't help but look up at my sister.
But the sister who used to protect me now said nothing and just lowered her head. I wonder what she was thinking?
At this moment, a long horn was blown, and the emperor rushed up the mountain first, followed by Lu Sui and Duan Yanzhou. The other officials were not to be outdone and rushed into the woods together.
The girls also climbed onto their horses. Although they were not as fast as the men, they all looked heroic and their colorful riding outfits added a lot of color to the greenery.
Pei Yunzhu also got on the horse, but compared to her excitement just now, she was now lacking interest and even had the urge to turn back.
Just then, Pei Yunjin came over.
He touched her hand and comforted her softly.
"Don't be angry with the princess. That's just her temper. It's not the first day you've known that."
"But……"
"No buts, Jiang Yueyao's injury has nothing to do with you or me."
“That’s all you need to remember.”
Meeting Pei Yunjin's determined gaze, Pei Yunzhu's confused and aggrieved heart calmed down.
"I see."
The two sisters went into the mountains together, and when they got to the mountain, everyone dispersed.
Not long after the emperor entered the mountains, he hunted a large male muntjac, which immediately ignited his still-strong ambition.
Looking back, he saw a large group of people following him and couldn't help but frown.
"Except for Duan Yanzhou and my personal guards, everyone else should be doing what they should be doing. Why are you surrounding me?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the young officials who had been unable to contain themselves any longer rushed into the jungle first. Lu Sui walked at the end, riding his horse very slowly.
When he was out of everyone's sight, Qingxuan rode over and approached him: "Everything is ready."
Lu Sui didn't say anything, but turned his horse around and rode away in the opposite direction of the emperor.
…
As soon as Pei Yunjin entered the mountain, he looked for Lu Sui everywhere.
She had no interest in hunting.
She has always been interested in Lu Sui.
But after wandering in the mountains and forests for a long time, he met many people, but none of them was Lu Sui.
When other young men from aristocratic families saw her, some came over to greet her and wanted to be with her, but she coldly rejected them all.
Although these people all have outstanding family backgrounds, compared to Lu Sui, they are just a group of playboys.
Thinking that men could go into the mountains to hunt, she took Pei Yunzhu for a walk inside, but Pei Yunzhu was a little scared.
"Sister, father has told us to stay near the mountains and not go deep into the mountains. I heard there are tigers and bears there."
"If you are afraid, just stay here. I won't force you." Pei Yunjin said, and took the lead and ran in first.
Pei Yunzhu looked back and saw a dense forest that stretched as far as the eye could see behind her.
She gritted her teeth and ran in.
In the dense forest, the trees are so tall that there is almost no sunlight shining down overhead.
Even in the day, there is darkness.
Pei Yunjin rode in front on horseback. She looked around again, but still could not find any trace of Lu Sui.
She was disappointed and was about to change direction when suddenly, she heard the sound of horse hooves in the distance, and then someone on horseback galloped through the woods not far from her.
Even though it was just a figure, Pei Yunjin recognized it at a glance. This person was Lu Sui.
She was overjoyed, raised her whip and chased after him.
Pei Yunzhu didn't dare to be alone, so she followed him naturally.
The sound of horse hooves was always in front of her. Pei Yunjin was so focused on catching up with Lu Sui that she didn't notice that she had already crossed the thick and long horizontal line drawn by the forest ranger.
Just at the foot of the mountain, before hunting, the palace servants around the emperor had already given specific instructions.
You can walk freely within the horizontal line, but you cannot cross it, because on the other side are deep mountains and old forests. Even the emperor, who is protected by his personal guards, dare not go in.
By the time Pei Yunjin reacted, it was too late.
The sound of horse hooves that was originally right next to my ears suddenly disappeared.
Not to mention the fleeting shadow.
Pei Yunzhu followed behind her and looked at the dense forest that was almost as dark as night. She was so scared that she couldn't help crying.
"Sister, let's go. I'm scared."
Pei Yunjin was also scared.
Without saying a word, she turned her horse around and headed out, but after taking a few steps, she suddenly heard a rustling sound.
She was terrified.
When they looked up, they saw a dense swarm of snakes on the branches not far ahead, snaking their way towards them...
