Chang'an's gaze was fixed on Ximen Yan and the leopard beside him. He looked at them for a while and then looked away.
"Father, hasn't the prince come back yet?" Chang'an couldn't hide the worry in his eyes.
"No," the emperor said, "I thought you and Xuan'er would be together, but I didn't see him just now. Since you two were in a good mood after the bet, I didn't ask you."
"Yes, Chang'an." The Queen Mother looked at Chang'an, her eyes also looking at the door of the big tent, "Don't you have a place?"
"Grandma, I am the Crown Prince of the Southern Kingdom. I am searching for the golden leopard with my cousin Nangong Rui and the Southern Kingdom's guards. Besides, when the prince left, he was with my eldest brother and fourth brother."
Said.
Everyone's eyes fell on the eldest prince Bei Minghong and the fourth prince Bei Mingye.
"When we reached the center of the enclosure, I separated from my eldest brother and ninth brother." Bei Mingye looked confused. "Why? Didn't my eldest brother go with my ninth brother?"
"After you left, my ninth brother and I separated," the eldest prince explained. "My ninth brother suggested that the three of us split up to search for prey. That would probably give us a better chance."
"Yeah." Bei Mingye agreed, "It really does resemble Ninth Brother's personality. He doesn't like crowds and prefers to be alone."
Chang'an frowned, thought for a moment, and glanced at the eldest prince. "Brother, are you sure there were any golden leopard footprints there when you left?"
"I don't know if it's a leopard," the eldest prince said, "but it's definitely the footprints of a large prey."
Chang'an thought about it and his eyes fell on the leopard.
No one except Bei Mingxuan knew that she could speak the language of animals. She looked directly at the leopard and asked, as if her voice was reaching its ear, "Have you ever met him? I seem to sense his presence on you."
The leopard roared loudly towards Chang'an, startling everyone in the tent.
Chang'an understood its answer. Bei Mingxuan was shot in the heart by an arrow and fell off the cliff.
Chang'an didn't say anything, turned around and left the imperial tent, jumped on his horse, and headed towards the place where Bei Mingxuan fell.
As Chang'an left, the people from Prince Xuan's mansion also turned around and left without saying a word.
Nangong Rui also left with his men.
At this time, the people in the imperial tent looked at each other but did not speak. They had some guesses in their hearts, but the emperor did not speak, so what should they say?
What else can I say?
"Emperor, hurry," the Queen Mother said anxiously, "Send your people to look for them. There are already many wild beasts here. What if something unexpected happens?"
This sent a lot of people out to look for it.
The Empress Dowager was on pins and needles. Eunuch Cheng, who was standing beside the Emperor, carefully told the Empress Dowager what Chang'an had just said.
His voice was soft enough to ensure that only the Queen Mother could hear it.
"Chang'an really said that?" The Queen Mother was surprised.
"These are Princess Hyun's exact words." Eunuch Cheng replied.
The Queen Mother sighed. She didn't say anything, but she was thinking in her heart how lucky Xuan'er was to meet a woman who always cared about him in this life.
Thinking that all these plans were hidden from Chang'an, when she learned that Xuan'er was in trouble, she could not bear it...
The empress dowager glanced at the emperor, and they looked at each other without saying a word. They saw worry in each other's eyes, the kind of worry for Chang'an.
Outside the imperial tent, General Qin's face darkened, and his voice was very low, "You really brought this upon yourself."
The eldest prince frowned and glared at General Qin unwillingly.
"Grand Prince, please don't be dissatisfied.
Bei Ming Ye is a ruthless man. If he really gains control of a powerful force, do you think he will tolerate you at that time?
For so many years, you and him have been fighting openly and secretly.
I really don't understand why you don't join forces with the Ninth Prince."
Qin Taiwei became angrier and angrier as he spoke, "You, even if the Ninth Prince gained power, what could he do to you given the love he and Lan'er had since they were little?
At the very least, he is still a free and easy prince.
With the Ninth Prince's fate uncertain, your situation is also worrying."
"Father-in-law!" The eldest prince's face showed a trace of anxiety. "Isn't this the end yet? Besides, I just want to reap the benefits."
"Humph!" Qin Taiwei was so angry after hearing his words that he vomited blood. "Benefit? Don't you look at your own situation and see if there is any possibility of benefiting.
I was attacked and it was Princess Xuan who saved me."
Mentioning this, the eldest prince suddenly remembered, "When did Dongfang Ge and Bei Ming Ye join forces?"
"Finally found out they've teamed up?"
“…” The eldest prince looked a little embarrassed.
When Chang'an arrived at the location that the leopard mentioned, he saw from afar a man with arrow wounds in both legs, looking at the five gray wolves around him with a vigilant look on his face.
"It's Fu Cheng, hurry up and save him."
Five arrows landed on the gray wolf with the sound of wind.
Chang'an jumped up, lightly touched the horse's forehead with his toes, and he was out.
"Fu Cheng, what happened? Why are you injured like this?" Chang'an looked at Fu Cheng anxiously.
"Princess, the prince fell, fell... It's my incompetence."
Chang'an immediately turned around and looked towards the edge of the cliff, his lips tightly closed and his eyes furrowed. "Take Fu Cheng down for treatment."
"yes."
"Princess!" Fu Cheng looked painful.
"Don't think about anything." Chang'an could see clearly the guilt in Fu Cheng's heart. "I will help you find your master."
Soon someone took Fu Cheng back.
Chang'an Nangong Rui and Fu Lin looked at the foggy area below the cliff with heavy faces. No one spoke at this moment.
Nangong Rui and Fu Lin looked at each other calmly.
There was heartache in the eyes of both of them.
They knew the whole story, Fu Cheng knew it, but Chang An was the only one who didn't know...
Even though he looked so anxious, he didn't feel the pain of Chang'an in his heart!
"We've already arranged for someone to look for him. Don't worry." Nangong Rui said softly, "You know his abilities, nothing will happen to him."
Chang An looked down at the mountain that seemed to have no bottom. "If he's not injured, it's fine. But if he is injured... It's so high up, and there are many ferocious beasts at the foot of the mountain... I'm worried."
"Princess," Fu Lin said, "I will go and ask Fu Cheng what happened, and report this to the Emperor and the Empress Dowager."
Chang'an seemed not to hear Fu Lin's words.
He muttered to himself, "I'm going to find Bei Mingxuan myself."
After saying that, the man jumped directly into the cliff...
"Chang'an——"
"princess!"
Nangong Rui and Fu Lin reached out to Chang'an at the same time, but they were still a step too late...
"What should we do?" Fu Lin said, "If the prince knew... at this moment..."
