After a long while, Yan Shaoheng took the roasted game he had prepared and, under the cover of darkness, slipped past the guards and secretly went to Chen Jingshu's tent.
Chen Jingshu was shocked to see Yan Shaoheng secretly come to her tent.
"Why are you here? The guards outside are so tight. If someone sees you, even if you are the second prince of Yan, you won't escape punishment."
Chen Jingshu asked in a low voice, afraid that the guards patrolling outside would hear her.
"Don't worry, no one has noticed me." Yan Shaoheng took out the meat he had just grilled. "Come and have a taste."
Chen Jingshu instantly realized that this guy had come to bring her food, and she was secretly delighted. She turned around and left the tent.
"Qiu'er, you stay here and keep watch. I'm a little tired and will rest first. Don't come in to disturb me unless it's absolutely necessary."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Qiu'er naturally assumed that her mistress was tired from hunting during the day, so she didn't ask any further questions.
"Jing Shu is so thoughtful. Come and try it."
Yan Shaoheng used a knife to slice off a piece of meat from the roasted rabbit and put it into Chen Jingshu's mouth.
"Back when I was guarding the border, I often caught wild animals and roasted them to eat. Over time, I mastered this skill. How is it? Is it delicious? Does it suit Jing Shu's taste?"
Yan Shaoheng suddenly remembered what happened at the border a few years ago, when he was free and carefree, but he could never go back.
"It's delicious. So, Jing Shu got to eat wild game that the Second Prince roasted himself?"
Yan Shaoheng nodded, his face full of doting affection.
Chen Jingshu suddenly threw herself into Yan Shaoheng's arms, "No one has ever treated me like this before, Second Prince, you are so kind to me, I am so touched."
As she spoke, tears welled up in her eyes, and Yan Shaoheng gently wiped away the tears from the corners of Chen Jingshu's eyes.
"Silly girl, if I treat you like this every day, won't you be moved to tears every day?"
Chen Jingshu gently punched Yan Shaoheng's chest and said coquettishly, "You're so annoying!"
The two stayed together until midnight before Yan Shaoheng reluctantly left.
And so, the two spent their days together, inseparable, until the last day of the hunting competition.
"Second Prince, today is the last day. If you take these few animals back, someone else will win."
At this moment, Chen Jingshu felt a little guilty. It was all her fault for pestering Yan Shaoheng these past two days, which made him forget about the important matter.
Yan Shaoheng felt extremely sorry for Chen Jingshu, who was blaming herself, and gently stroked her hair.
"Now that it's the last day, Jing Shu, would you like to see my strength?"
After Yan Shaoheng said that, Chen Jingshu felt that he would definitely be able to surpass others in just one day.
"good."
"Does Jing Shu know which area here has the fiercest wild beasts, and which few people dare to go?"
After being reminded, Chen Jingshu suddenly remembered that further east in this area, there were some ferocious beasts that were different from ordinary people.
"There is an even more important reason why no one comes here to catch wild rabbits: further east from here, there is a small, deep forest full of fierce tigers and wild beasts, which are more ferocious than ordinary beasts. Ordinary people would not go there."
Yan Shaoheng was excited when he heard this. As long as he caught one, he would be the winner this time.
"Would Jing Shu be willing to accompany me?"
"Does the Second Prince really want to go? That place is..." Chen Jingshu saw that Yan Shaoheng's mind was made up, and thinking that only the beasts there could help him obtain the Cloud Piercing Spear, she no longer hesitated.
"I'll go with you. We'll live together, and we'll die together."
Yan Shaoheng gently flicked her nose. "What are you saying? Since I've asked you to come with me, I'll definitely protect you. Come on, get on the horse."
The horse beneath him slowed down more and more, when suddenly a neighing sound came from afar.
"I'm here. Don't move. I'll be right back."
Yan Shaoheng settled Chen Jingshu on a hillside and walked toward the source of the roar.
Inside the cave, a lioness was nursing a newborn cub. When the lioness saw Yan Shaoheng, this uninvited guest, she roared at him again.
Perhaps it was these two roars that gave the male lion, who was out hunting for food, a bad feeling, and it suddenly appeared behind Yan Shaoheng.
Yan Shaoheng drew his sword, leaped into the air, and began to wrestle with the male lion.
One incense stick... two incense sticks... three incense sticks...
Seeing that Yan Shaoheng had not yet come out, Chen Jingshu got up to go inside to find him, and saw Yan Shaoheng dragging a lion twice the size of an ordinary lion out of the room.
Chen Jingshu immediately went to meet him and saw that Yan Shaoheng had more than ten wounds of various sizes on his body, and one of them was still bleeding.
"Don't move." Chen Jingshu tied her handkerchief around his arm. "Make sure the imperial physician examines him properly when we get out."
"good."
"Then I'll go west and exit from the west. You can exit directly from here."
"Alright, be careful. I'll find a way to contact you again later."
Chen Jingshu only rode away after confirming that Yan Shaoheng was alright.
Yan Shaoheng touched his wounds and said, "I never thought that a little lion would almost take my life."
If Yan Shaoheng hadn't smeared poison on his sword and fought desperately to wound the lion, he would be the one lying on the ground right now.
Just as he was about to kill the lioness, Yan Shaoheng could clearly see the lioness's hatred for him. She stood up shakily, wanting to fight him to the death.
Yan Shaoheng was naturally afraid. The lioness was not afraid of death, but he was. He had been fighting with the male lion for a long time and was already exhausted and covered in wounds. If he fought with the lioness again, he would definitely be left here.
So Yan Shaoheng dragged the male lion's corpse away from that place of trouble.
"Luckily, that lioness just gave birth, otherwise I really wouldn't be able to leave here, hiss..."
Yan Shaoheng placed the lion on his horse, then led the horse away from the forest.
Everyone panicked when they saw Yan Shaoheng covered in blood. This was the second prince of Yan Kingdom. If something happened to him in Yue Kingdom, it would be difficult to explain.
"Imperial physician, imperial physician, quickly call the imperial physician."
Everyone's eyes were on Yan Shaoheng's injuries, except for one person whose gaze fell on the handkerchief wrapped around Yan Shaoheng's arm.
"This is the prey I just hunted. Please make a record of it for me, sir."
"Second Prince, I have noted it down."
After the imperial physician examined him, he asked, "How is it?"
"Your Majesty, apart from the larger wound on his arm, the Second Prince of Yan has only superficial injuries that require regular dressing changes. However, due to excessive bleeding, I will prescribe some blood-tonifying and qi-nourishing medicine. He should recover after taking a few doses."
"That's good. If the Second Prince doesn't mind, he can stay in Yue Kingdom for a few more days to recuperate."
Since the Moon Emperor said so, he wouldn't refuse. It would be best if he could stay and spend more time with that silly girl.
"In that case, thank you, Moon Emperor."
