Ying Xixi took a small knife, a rabbit and a pheasant, and went to the entrance of the cave to pluck the prey in the rain.
The two men divided the work and quickly put the prey on the fire and roasted it.
The fragrance wafted out, making Ying Xixi's stomach growl.
Fortunately, the heavy rain outside the cave blocked the sound of her stomach from being too obvious.
"My dear, your clothes are wet."
Gu Wang said as he looked at Ying Xixi whose clothes were mostly wet.
Ying Xixi looked down and saw that it was true. Almost her entire upper body was wet from the rain.
"Maybe I was accidentally splashed by the rain when I was handling the prey at the door just now."
"Then, while we have a fire, my dear, you should take off your clothes and dry them in the sun. Otherwise, you'll catch a cold if you keep them wet."
Gu Wang suggested.
Ying Xixi subconsciously refused when she heard this, "No need, no need. I can just sit by the fire and warm myself. No need to take off my clothes."
Gu Wang looked at Ying Xixi's reaction and found it inexplicably amusing. "Why are you so excited, my dear? We are both men. Are you feeling shy in front of me?"
Ying Xixi twitched her lips and agreed, "Yes, I am indeed shy in front of Your Majesty. Your Majesty, please forgive me."
Gu Wang was a little surprised. He was just joking. How could Ying Aiqing really be shy?
But why?
Gu Wang thought so and asked the same question.
Ying Xixi: “….”
Of course it’s because men and women shouldn’t touch each other!
"Your Majesty, if I were to be naked, I would feel that I would be offending Your Majesty. In addition, my figure is not very good, and seeing Your Majesty's majestic figure would make me feel inferior and shy."
Ying Xixi opened her mouth and made up a few nonsense words.
Gu Wang was slightly startled, recalling the arm of Ying Aiqing that he had pinched, which was fleshy and soft.
It seems that Ying Aiqing's figure is indeed not very good.
No wonder it is so.
"I see, my dear, you don't have to feel inferior. I think you are quite good this way."
Gu Wang gave Ying Xixi an affirmation, and Ying Xixi gave a dry laugh.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Ying Xixi reached out to turn over the roast chicken and roast rabbit, and her hand bumped into Gu Wang's who was also reaching out.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me."
Ying Xixi apologized and wanted to retract her hand.
Gu Wang looked at the hand that was as white as jade and much smaller than his own hand in the firelight.
Somehow, his hands were faster than his brain and he grabbed Ying Xixi's hand first.
Ying Xixi: “!!!”
"emperor?"
Gu Wang pinched Ying Aiqing's little hand and compared the size of their hands palm to palm.
"Your hands are so small and soft."
Ying Xixi: “….”
She laughed dryly twice, "Yes, I don't know why it happened like this. It makes me look less masculine."
"No, I think it's fine."
Gu Wang let go of Ying Xixi's hand and unconsciously rubbed his fingertips. The soft feeling seemed not to have disappeared yet.
The two of them each divided the roasted prey and began to eat.
Ying Xixi couldn't help but sigh, "Your Majesty, it's so delicious! Your cooking skills are amazing!"
In addition to processing the prey, Gu Wang was also responsible for applying seasonings and roasting the prey.
Gu Wang does have some skills in grilling and barbecuing.
"As long as it tastes good, I've practiced this skill. In previous autumn hunts and other times when I had the chance to go up the mountain, I would roast the prey and eat it."
"So that's how it is."
Ying Xixi grunted as she finished half a pheasant, and could not eat the remaining half of the rabbit.
She held the rabbit leg and hesitated whether to eat it despite her stomach full.
"What's wrong, my dear? Can't you eat anymore?"
After Gu Wang finished his share of the prey, he wiped the corners of his mouth gracefully.
Ying Xixi nodded and said, "I am full now. I cannot finish this half rabbit. I want to go out and find a large leaf to wrap it in so that I can have it for the next meal."
"There will be grilled food for the next meal. Since you can't eat any more, I'll eat it."
Gu Wang's words surprised Ying Xixi.
"Your Majesty, this is not good, is it? Although I didn't eat this half of the rabbit, it is still my leftovers.
How can I allow you to eat my leftovers? I cannot commit treason!
Ying Xixi was so frightened that she quickly refused.
"This isn't insubordination. It's okay. I haven't eaten yet."
As Gu Wang said this, he took the rabbit meat that Ying Xixi was holding and started eating.
Ying Xixi stared at Gu Wang in a daze as he slowly ate the rabbit meat.
By the time Gu Wang finished eating, the rain outside had stopped.
"Your Majesty, the rain has stopped. Would you like to rest for a while before going out?"
Ying Xixi asked.
"No, let's go out and continue hunting."
Gu Wang put out the fire and stood up.
This time the two did not ride horses, but walked.
They also left the sacks of game in the cave and did not take them away.
Since we have to spend the night in the mountains tonight, it’s quite nice to spend the night in this cave compared to other places.
Ying Xixi was not very familiar with this mountain, so Gu Wang basically took her with him the whole time.
Ying Xixi happily hunts, picks up, and packs up, repeating the cycle.
Unconsciously, Ying Xixi discovered that the number of small prey had decreased a lot.
She looked around and realized that they were gradually walking into the deep mountains. No wonder there were fewer small prey.
There are some big stuff in this deep mountain!
"Your Majesty, should we go out first? This is deep in the mountains, and I'm worried that wild beasts might appear!"
Ying Xixi was a little afraid to speak loudly, for fear of calling out tigers, black bears or something like that.
"I must go out."
Gu Wang said this, took Ying Xixi's wrist and walked in one direction.
Ying Xixi looked at her wrist being held by Gu Wang, feeling a little confused.
So why did the emperor pull her along?
Soon Ying Xixi knew why Gu Wang wanted to pull her.
Because they had only taken a few steps when they were surrounded by black-clad assassins who appeared from nowhere!
Ying Xixi's eyelids twitched rapidly.
As expected, since ancient times, the emperor would be assassinated during the autumn hunt!
"The Emperor is in danger!"
Ying Xixi protected Gu Wang behind her, drew the long sword from her waist, and rushed forward to fight with the assassin.
She saw Gu Wang's secret guards rushing out from all directions out of the corner of her eye, and she breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, fortunately, she was not alone against dozens of people!
Ying Xixi dealt with several assassins and watched the other assassins being dealt with by the secret guards before walking towards Gu Wang.
But she suddenly heard a sound of breaking air, and when she turned around, she saw an arrow flying out from nowhere and heading straight towards Gu Wang!
Ying Xixi pounced over subconsciously!
However, she did not use her body to block the arrow. Instead, she raised her sword to cut off the arrow and pushed Gu Wang away at the same time!
But no one knew what went wrong in this series of actions. Ying Xixi's right arm was hit hard by the arrow, and blood began to flow!
