Then the four of them set off. It was dark in the forest, but after lighting a fire, the surroundings became bright. Duan Gouqiong and Ni Yueshan sat and waited by the side, while Shao Lecheng and Jing Yuchen went into the small woods together.
But Duan Gouqiong was surprised because Ni Yueshan took out raw meat from a bag beside him?
Ni Yueshan explained, "What if they don't catch anything? Will we return home empty-bellied? This is from the kitchen. Let's eat it first and let them go hunting!"
Duan Gouqiong looked at Ni Yueshan with great admiration: "Sister Yueshan, you are so cunning..."
Shao Lecheng and Jing Yuchen walked out of the woods, but both of them were surprised to smell the aroma of barbecue.
When we walked out of the woods, we could see clearly that the two of them were eating barbecue.
But they had nothing in their hands and were left alone.
Shao Lecheng came over and sat down: "Are you guys going too far?"
Ni Yueshan said calmly, "I was worried you'd be hungry, so I brought some raw meat. But I didn't expect you to disappoint me and not find anything."
"Alas, that innkeeper was lying, telling us there were prey in the nearby woods. We went around and around, but there was nothing..."
He moved closer to Duan Gouqiong depressedly: "Give me a taste?"
Duan Gouqiong rolled his eyes at him and said, "Bake it yourself!"
Shao Lecheng's face was full of grievance. He skewered the meat obediently, then grilled it and was ready to eat it, but Duan Gouqiong snatched it away and took a bite.
Shao Lecheng stared with surprise in his eyes.
But he didn't dare to say anything and continued to grill and eat in silence.
However, Ni Yueshan and Jing Yuchen were much more harmonious. They took turns eating and enjoyed the meal very much. Shao Lecheng drooled with envy.
It was already very late when the four of them returned. Duan Gouqiong suddenly stopped walking up the stairs. Shao Lecheng looked at her puzzledly: "What's wrong?"
Duan Gouqiong's face gradually turned pale: "My stomach hurts."
She covered her stomach and squatted on the ground. It was obvious that the pain was too much for her to bear.
"Could it be that the pain is because you ate undercooked meat?"
Shao Lecheng picked up Duan Gouqiong and said, "Come on, I'll take you to see a doctor!"
The four people originally planned to set out back after dawn tomorrow, but now they can only find a doctor for Duan Gouqiong first.
On the road, Shao Lecheng drove his horse very fast, his expression full of worry. Jing Yuchen and Ni Yueshan's carriage gradually opened up a distance from the one in front. Ni Yueshan asked in confusion, "Why are you so slow?"
"You were pregnant, and the excessive shaking led to miscarriage. Who can you cry to?" Jing Yuchen looked at Ni Yueshan with a hint of anger in his eyes.
Ni Yueshan thought so too, but ultimately said nothing.
But the carriage jolted a little, and the driver said strangely: "Who put so many nails on the road?"
The driver let out a strange cry and jumped off the carriage.
The driver was clearing the nails from the ground.
Ni Yueshan and Jing Yuchen keenly realized that there must be something wrong...
"Someone did it on purpose!"
Jing Yuchen said this in an extremely cold tone, then looked at Ni Yueshan behind him and said, "Stay in the carriage for now, don't get off."
Ni Yueshan nodded solemnly without objection.
After Jing Yuchen walked down, he glanced around and said seriously, "Who did this? Come out!"
After a voice was spoken, a person slowly walked out of the darkness, Jing Yuchen was surprised.
"Tian Yongchang? Shouldn't you retire and return home?"
Tian Yongchang looked at Jing Yuchen with a vicious look. He said angrily, "Your Highness, I was originally going to have nothing to do with you after resigning from this position. Unfortunately, Qinan was seriously injured and died on the road!"
He spoke sadly and sighed, "How could I let you, an executioner, live peacefully?"
Ni Yueshan lifted the curtain and looked outside, then said, "Master Tian, you resigned in exchange for your daughter's life. We are doing our utmost to release you!"
"Master Tian, your daughter dared to treat this Crown Princess like this, and she was allowed to be released. How could you not be satisfied and come here to cause trouble for me and the Crown Prince?"
There was only sharpness in her eyes: "Master Tian, aren't you afraid that those concubines will be implicated because of your actions?"
Tian Yongchang threw his head back and laughed heartily: "Those illegitimate children of theirs are dead, so what? But Qinan is the darling of heaven whom I have cultivated with all my heart and soul! I still hope that she will bring honor to our family. If she doesn't become the Crown Princess, she will definitely become a favorite concubine in the harem!"
"But you ruined her and killed her! I will bury you all with her!"
Tian Yongchang roared angrily, and no other people appeared beside him. Ni Yueshan and Jing Yuchen felt very strange. They didn't know how he had the confidence to beat them alone?
While Ni Yueshan and Jing Yuchen were puzzled, they saw Tian Yongchang suddenly open his clothes, and the one tied inside...
It's explosives!
Jing Yuchen's expression changed, and he quickly said to the driver, "Quick, take the Crown Princess away!"
Seeing Jing Yuchen's expression change instantly, Tian Yongchang laughed loudly: "Prince, what are you afraid of? What are you afraid of? Come! To die!"
He laughed arrogantly, with madness in his eyes. He reached out and lit the gunpowder tied to his body, his eyes becoming more vicious.
The driver urged the horses to go faster.
But the horse was unwilling to move because the ground was full of nails. Jing Yuchen's expression changed drastically and he shouted, "Hurry, move!"
Then he rushed forward, pressed the man to the ground, and stomped on him hard, again and again. The driver and Ni Yueshan opened their eyes wide, obviously terrified.
