When Shen Yue heard that Li Yunzhou had gone to the back to change clothes, she wanted to go look for him.
Song Wanwan and Su Shunci were worried and followed her closely.
However, the entire backyard and wing rooms were guarded by the Crown Prince's personal guards. They said that His Royal Highness was changing clothes and no one was allowed to approach.
The three of them stood under a pine tree, seemingly admiring the flowers and the scenery, but in fact they were discussing countermeasures.
Su Shunci asked Song Wanwan, "Sister Wanwan, can we find a way to replace that bow and arrow?"
If she had replaced the bow and arrow with a normal one, she wouldn't be afraid of Li Yunzhou's competition. However, neither she nor Shen Yue could do this, so she could only ask Song Wanwan.
Song Wanwan thought for a moment, shook her head and said, "It's not easy. The competition is about to start. It's as difficult as climbing to the sky to change bows and arrows at this time."
Song Wanwan's thoughts were deeper. On the surface, it looked like Li Chaoyun was plotting against Li Yunzhou. But no one knew if the Crown Prince had tacit approval behind the scenes. If the Crown Prince sided with Li Chaoyun and helped, it would be even more difficult for them to make any moves.
Shen Yue looked at the second room from the left. Standing at the door was Li Yunzhou's servant Anfu.
She suddenly said, "Can anyone get in through the back window of that room?"
On the way to the archery range, Shen Yue was still feeling uneasy and flustered. She had been pampered by the old lady since she was a child, and she was always at a loss when faced with difficulties. Especially since today's incident involved Li Yunzhou's arm, she was even more unsure of what to do.
But when he arrived at the archery range, he calmed down. All he could think about was how to solve this problem. His mind became clearer and his eyes became more determined.
It can be seen that there are some things that no matter how others teach you, it is useless. It is better to experience it yourself and learn the lesson.
Su Shunci's eyes lit up. "This idea might work. There are weeds growing behind their wing. Even if there are people guarding it, we should be able to lure them away."
Song Wanwan narrowed her eyes and said, "In places like this, the guards are tight on the outside but loose on the inside. I don't think there's anyone guarding the back. Let's go over and take a look."
In this way, the three of them avoided the guards guarding the prince and walked towards the back of the wing room.
Just as Song Wanwan expected, there were no permanent guards at the rear. Only two teams of guards patrolled the entire archery range.
Song Wanwan and Su Shunci covered for Shen Yue, allowing her to reach the back of the room smoothly.
"Go in and tell Li Yunzhou that if my third brother finishes changing clothes first, I'll ask him to find a solution."
Shen Yue nodded, gritted her teeth, climbed up to the back window and jumped inside.
At this time, Li Yunzhou was tying his belt, and a small sound came into his ears from behind.
Li Yunzhou frowned slightly and stopped what he was doing. He walked to the door of the bathroom at the back. After hearing the sound of footsteps, Li Yunzhou walked in quickly and grabbed the man.
Shen Yue's wrist was grabbed and she felt like her bones were about to be crushed.
"pain."
She screamed in shock, and Li Yunzhou quickly let go. "Yue'er, why is it you?"
He knew how strong his hands were, so he quickly pulled her up and grabbed her wrist and rubbed it gently.
"Does it hurt? I'm sorry, I didn't know it was you."
During his years living in the Li family, Li Yunzhou developed a cautious personality. Ever since he was ten, Li Chaoyun had never gotten along well with him. Twice, he had directly killed Li Chaoyun's men, and since then, she has become more restrained.
He thought it was Li Chaoyun who was causing trouble again, but he never expected it was Shen Yue.
Shen Yue didn't care about the pain at the moment, and immediately said, "Li Chaoyun had someone tamper with your bow and arrow. You can't use the bow and arrow they prepared for you during the competition."
Shen Yue then told Li Yunzhou everything that Su Shunci had overheard.
Although Li Yunzhou was a little surprised, he looked relatively calm.
On the day Princess Yongjia was punished in the palace, he returned home to be reprimanded and punished by his father, Li Jingchuan. While trying to avoid being flogged, he was whipped on the shoulder. He later sought treatment from a trusted doctor, who, the next day, hanged himself at home.
He had already thought that Li Chaoyun might have discovered him. Sure enough, he was waiting for him there.
Li Yunzhou saw Shen Yue looking at her in panic, and hurriedly comforted her softly, "Don't worry, I'll find a way."
The most important thing right now is how to get past the Crown Prince. If the Crown Prince doesn't know Li Chaoyun's plan, it would be fine. He can just find an excuse not to compete.
But if the Crown Prince and Li Chaoyun were in cahoots, that would be difficult. The Crown Prince would certainly force him to compete, and if he refused, it would be a crime of disrespect.
At this time, in front of the riding and archery field, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Song Hongshen had changed their clothes and came out.
Song Wanwan was relieved to see Song Hongshen come out. She stepped forward and pulled Song Hongshen aside. "Third brother, think of a way to prevent Brother Yunzhou from competing with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Brother Yunzhou's bow and arrow were tampered with by Li Chaoyun. If he pulls it open, it can cripple half of a person's arm."
Song Hongshen didn't know Li Yunzhou had an old arm injury, but he was still shocked. Who could attack someone at a banquet hosted by the crown prince?
Thinking of this, he looked at the prince deeply again, his eyes deep.
At this time, the prince was loudly asking the eunuch beside him why Li Yunzhou had not come out yet.
Seeing this, Song Hongshen stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, Yunzhou was feeling a little unwell when he came here today. Why don't we have a competition first? If he doesn't feel well, then forget it."
Song Hongshen's words were meant to help Li Yunzhou out, but also to test the Crown Prince's stance on the matter.
The Crown Prince's expression remained unchanged as he smiled faintly and said, "How can that be? I've been dreaming of competing with Yunzhou for a long time. If he doesn't come today, how can I enjoy it?"
Song Hongshen's heart sank, knowing that the prince was going to push Li Yunzhou.
Li Yunzhou is different from him. He has the Song family to rely on, but Li Yunzhou has no one to rely on.
The key today is how to make Li Yunzhou disobey the prince's order without leaving any trace.
Song Hongshen was still pondering when he heard Li Chaoyun say, "Why hasn't Fourth Brother come out yet? Isn't he waiting for the Crown Prince cousin to come and invite him in person?"
She was a little surprised. Why didn't Li Yunzhou come out yet? Did he discover something?
Upon hearing this, the prince walked towards the wing room and said, "I'll go and see for myself what's wrong with him."
Someone joked, "Then let's go and take a look."
In this way, everyone followed the prince to the back room.
Li Chaoyun was also by her side, a smile flickering in her eyes. She didn't believe Li Yunzhou could escape this disaster today. Even if he really discovered something, he couldn't escape it.
When they arrived at the door of Li Yunzhou's dressing room, the prince's personal guards pushed open the door.
The scene inside surprised everyone at the door.
