Long Qianyi, sitting not far from them, found it amusing. But he was quick-witted and had already spotted an arrow coming at him.
He only wanted to see where the other party was escaping, but he still timed it perfectly. He stepped forward and used his light-footed skill to fly over and lift Lin Xiao off the horse.
In fact, Lin Xiao had intentionally invited the third prince of the Yuezhi Kingdom to this gathering, as the third prince was destined to inherit the throne in the future.
Perhaps this secret test of the person's character might be helpful to him.
Long Qianyi held Lin Xiao, who was wearing a dragon robe, and a fragrant scent wafted over, tickling his neck.
Hei Tong stared at Lin Xiao's dazed eyes and chuckled, "Am I that handsome, Your Majesty?"
Fu Lingtian gripped the cup tightly, his eyebrows raised, as if he had caught his wife cheating. He was furious.
"Your Majesty, it seems you are quite familiar with the Third Prince. I didn't even know this hunting event was for the Third Prince?"
At first, he thought it was Gao Chen who suddenly appeared, but he didn't expect that the one hiding in the back was the real one.
Lin Xiao looked down and saw that the two were in a somewhat ambiguous position, so he hurriedly pushed away Long Qianyi, who was hugging him.
"Thank you for saving us, Third Prince. We were a little too close."
"Also, how come there are arrows here? Is the security so lax, Guard Liu!"
Lin Xiao shouted angrily, demanding that he personally acknowledge the fate of the guards.
"Yes, Your Majesty. I failed in my duty and did not keep a close watch on things. Please punish me."
"Hmph, why say so much? Is this the time to blame others? Hurry up and find the assassin!"
Lin Xiao was not old, but because of his status as the emperor, the emperor was slightly angry, but the third prince, Long Qianyi, found him extremely cute.
He didn't have the slightest bit of ruthlessness about him. Those old fogies even said the newly enthroned emperor might be short-tempered. They told me to be careful.
He sat back down, unaware that Fu Lingtian was staring at him, but he didn't want to pay any attention.
Because he always felt that Lin Xiao had specially found this person for him to provoke him!
"General, why are you staring at the Third Prince like that? Did you know him before?"
Gao Chen was a rank lower than them, but Fu Lingtian never treated Gao Chen as a subordinate but rather as a brother, which made Gao Chen admire him very much.
He knew what Lin Xiao was thinking, and he wouldn't like him, but he would only help Lin Xiao.
"No, I was just thinking about my dereliction of duty this time, and I suspect that it was done by one of my own people."
Fu Lingtian glanced at Wen Jinghao, who had just returned, and noticed that she seemed a little dirty, so he became curious.
"Where did you go, Madam? I didn't see you there. Did you know the Emperor was injured?"
Wen Jinghao poked her hand, hid it behind her back, and smiled awkwardly.
"Ah, Ling Tian, what do you mean by this? Are you doubting me? How could I possibly be a traitor? Besides, I have a good friendship with the Emperor."
"Is that right, Your Majesty?"
She had never been afraid of this incompetent ruler, but because Lin Xiao was the emperor, she dared not act on her own initiative.
"Oh, really? Your Majesty, have you been on good terms with Madam Fu lately?"
Lin Xiao did not answer, but instead turned to ask the Empress.
He Yunshang understood the implication but didn't break the silence, playing along with the act, "Your Majesty, I haven't. I've been busy copying scriptures for the Empress Dowager lately and haven't had time."
As soon as the words were spoken, everyone knew that the two did not have a good relationship.
