Chiyu raised his little head and looked at them with his big watery eyes full of innocence.
Bai Yanyan stroked Chiyu's head and said slowly, "Besides, I was hunting just now and didn't have time to attack you. If you don't believe me, you can wait for the guards to bring back the prey I hunted."
"This doesn't prove anything, you..."
Xuanyuan Yue wanted to refute, but a man in black stood up from a distance and said, "I met Miss Bai while hunting in the east, and I saw her picking white Ganoderma lucidum with my own eyes. She really doesn't have time."
Him again?
Bai Yanyan looked at him curiously.
Emperor Yongding frowned.
This is Gu Qingfeng from the Gu family. That venerable also has the surname 'Gu'. So, is he here to warn me? Emperor Yongding glanced at the two of them, and finally said, "Alright, I'll have this matter investigated thoroughly."
"Father..."
Xuanyuan Yue wanted to say something, but when Emperor Yongding gave her an icy look, she immediately shut up, not daring to say a word.
The originally planned hunting trip was cancelled because of this incident. The emperor asked the general and others to investigate the matter and also to confirm whether the prey that Bai Yanyan mentioned was really there.
"Yanyan, are you okay?"
Xiao Nanyue found an opportunity and immediately came to Bai Yanyan's side. He checked her and was relieved to see that she was safe and sound. "Don't worry, I'm keeping an eye on the situation over there. Nothing will happen to you."
"What could possibly happen to me?" Bai Yanyan smiled. "I'm innocent to begin with."
"Um."
Xiao Nanyue was slightly stunned, and then she laughed the next second, "You are innocent to begin with. Xuanyuan Yue is simply dreaming if she wants to frame you!"
"Of course not!"
Bai Yanyan then asked curiously, "Nanyue, do you know who was the person who spoke up for me just now?"
"He seems to be from the Gu family."
Gu family? Gu Yunzhou… Bai Yanyan immediately thought of Gu Yunzhou’s name. His gentle smile emerged in her mind, and she suddenly felt a little nostalgic.
She hadn't seen Gu Yunzhou since the trial site, and she didn't know what he was doing. Maybe after she returned, she would find an excuse to visit Gu's house.
Bai Yanyan thought so, but before she could go back, she saw Gu Yunzhou.
Because something happened to the Third Prince, the hunt was cancelled. However, it was already late at night, so Emperor Yongding decided to investigate thoroughly before returning the next day. Before coming, they set up camp outside Yuliu Mountain. Bai Yanyan stayed in the tent the whole time, and when she had nothing to do, she took out a book of martial arts and read it.
Then she saw the tent curtain being lifted. She thought it was Xiao Nanyue and said without raising her head, "Nanyue, I remember you said you were good at taming animals, but I used to learn how to suppress them with spiritual energy. Why do you say here that you can only use mental power?"
"Normally, they can only use their mental strength, but you are different."
"Huh? Why is it different? Aren't they the same?"
“Because I taught you myself.”
"When will you teach me..." Bai Yanyan realized something was wrong halfway through her words. She looked up suddenly and saw the handsome man.
Today he was different from usual. He dressed up specially. The collar and cuffs of his blue robe were embroidered with silver-thread and flowing cloud patterns, and a purple brocade belt was tied around his waist. His jet-black hair was tied up and he wore a small silver crown inlaid with jade. His slender body stood straight, and he was handsome and had a sense of innate nobility.
Bai Yanyan's gaze fell on the jewelry he was wearing around his waist.
She made the star-catching bell herself, and tied the two corners with red ropes and hung it up. And... the moon, but no one knew what method he used, but the moon, which was originally as big as a head, was shrunk into a small moon with a diameter of several centimeters. He carefully wrapped it with a purple rope and made it into a hanging ornament.
This guy…
This was just the most ordinary thing, but he treated it with such care.
Bai Yanyan felt a warm current flowing through her heart, her whole heart was warm and filled with bubbles of joy. She smiled and then looked at Gu Yunzhou, "Why are you here?"
"I came here to hunt, and I happened to see you, so I came over."
Gu Yunzhou made up an excuse and asked, "Have you had dinner?"
"not yet…"
Bai Yanyan shook her head. Gu Yunzhou stepped forward and then smiled slowly, "I've had a great harvest today. Would it be convenient for you to enjoy the moon and dinner with me?"
"good."
Anyway, she hadn't had dinner yet and was hungry. Bai Yanyan put the book away, placed her small hand on Gu Yunzhou's palm, and then said with a smile, "Then thank you for your help."
"No trouble."
Gu Yunzhou held her little hand tightly before taking her away.
Over there, Xiao Nanyue brought over a roasted rabbit and some fruits, intending to give them to Bai Yanyan, but she saw a stunning man taking her away. Xiao Nanyue immediately frowned.
-
The night is beautiful tonight.
The moon was round and big, and the bright moonlight was scattered all over the ground. On the flat ground above the cliff on the east side of Yuliu Mountain, a huge leaf was placed. A fire rack was set up next to the leaf, and Gu Yunzhou was roasting a wild rabbit in front of the fire rack.
Chiyu was drooling with greed and squatted beside the hare, staring at it.
Bai Yanyan sat on the leaf, with exquisite pastries, fruits and drinks placed in front of her. She was holding a glass of wine and looking at the man who was grilling meat seriously, smiling helplessly.
She thought Gu Yunzhou would take her to a restaurant or something, but she didn't expect him to be so down-to-earth.
Perhaps fearing that she would be bored, Gu Yunzhou picked up a few leaves and simply cast a spell. The leaves turned into beautiful butterflies and flew towards Bai Yanyan.
After he finished roasting the hare, he tore off a rabbit leg and handed it to Chiyu. Then he picked out the other bones and placed the rabbit meat on a lotus leaf and handed it to Bai Yanyan.
Then he went to grill the fish.
Bai Yanyan rolled her eyes and moved closer to him, "Come on, open your mouth obediently."
Although Gu Yunzhou was puzzled, he still opened his mouth obediently. The next second, a piece of rabbit meat was stuffed into his mouth. The aroma of the rabbit meat and the burnt aroma of charcoal fire spread in his mouth, which was extremely delicious.
"Is it tasty?"
"Um."
"Then have another piece."
Bai Yanyan handed him another piece, and then sat aside to eat the delicious rabbit meat. Gu Yunzhou looked at her sideways.
The woman sat next to him, eating delicious food with her head down and a smile on her face. He felt very satisfied just by looking at her like this, and he would feel good even if time stopped at this moment.
"Gu Yunzhou, you..."
Bai Yanyan looked up and asked as if she had thought of something, and happened to meet Gu Yunzhou's deep gaze. Gu Yunzhou was also slightly stunned, but he looked away without changing his expression and fixed his eyes on the grilled fish.
But I felt a rare sense of uneasiness in my heart.
