"Why don't you send her out quickly and hand her over to the Queen for instruction!"
The guard came forward and said, "Yes!"
Pei Zixuan cried out, "Prince, I am innocent...I am innocent!"
"How dare you! Let me go! I am the head of a palace, and I am His Majesty's noble lady—"
"Mmm, mmm—"
Pei Zixuan's mouth was forcibly covered, and then she was dragged away in a very embarrassed manner.
A ridiculous farce seemed to have come to an end.
But the prince felt a little uneasy.
The most obscure secret lies between Zong Zheng Yu'er and him.
I hope that Cui Shiyi Niang’s words just now did not arouse these people’s suspicion.
"Miss Pan, Miss Cui Shiyi."
"During the palace banquet, I was still at the Nanshan Villa. How could the quarrels and fights between your daughters' families have been dragged into my head?"
"I have really suffered an unprovoked disaster."
"I hope you can restore justice for me. Do you understand?"
Cui Shiyi Niang and Pan Li both lowered their heads.
"Your Highness is innocent."
"It was us servants who acted recklessly. I hope Your Highness will forgive us."
A hint of murderous intent appeared in the cold eyes of Crown Prince Duan Rongyin.
If they dare to speak nonsense, he doesn't mind silencing them all...
"Get up."
Duan Rongshi glanced past the crowd, his eyes fell on Li Qingluo, and he suddenly spoke softly.
Both of them were of low status, so no one cared about them at all, and they were still kneeling on the ground.
Li Qingluo took Pan Li's hand and thanked King Su first, then slowly stood up.
Duan Rongshi looked at Zhui Yu and said, "Go and bring their horses here."
Princess Xiyue was annoyed: Oh no, I didn’t notice that Li Qingluo was still kneeling on the ground.
I hope her petty fifth brother doesn't take this to heart...
"Miss Li, it turns out you have such amazing archery skills!"
"Unfortunately, I've searched everywhere but haven't found the bear I wanted to present to my father."
"But I also hunted some good things. But it was only with the help of the Crown Princess's archery skills. I didn't expect you to kill a deer all by yourself. You are really good!"
"Ha ha……"
Xiyue thought to herself: Xiaowu, Xiaowu, sister praised your sweetheart, you can’t be angry.
Li Qingluo: "Thank you for the compliment, Princess. I was just lucky to come across this deer."
"If it were Her Royal Highness the Princess who encountered this deer, I'm sure Her Royal Highness would be able to capture it easily."
"I would like to offer this deer to Her Royal Highness, the Princess, and wish Her Royal Highness all the best and may all her wishes come true."
Xiyue was surprised and stunned.
"You...really want to present it to me?"
Li Qingluo: "Yes, I'll take it as a thank you, Princess, for upholding justice for us today."
Just as he finished speaking, he heard the roar of a bear in the distance.
There were also people screaming.
Then someone covered in blood ran out from the woods on the other side of the river.
"raging--"
“Run—”
Xiyue was ecstatic: "Great! This is the bear I was looking for!"
"Quick, everyone, follow me and kill this bear! Present it to our father!"
Princess Xiyue raised her arm and shouted, but nodded to Li Qingluo first: "Since Miss Li is so sincere, then I will not be polite."
"This deer, I will accept today!"
Their eyes met, and everything was understood without words.
After saying that, she did not linger any longer, asked her men to carry the deer over, and then led everyone to leave urgently again.
Before the prince hurriedly left, he also looked at Li Qingluo deeply.
It was not until he noticed that his fifth brother did not keep up with them, but slowly rode his horse to the girl that he turned around again.
Pei Zixuan was taken away just like that.
Sha Wu and Cui Qillang also returned to their own groups.
Among the three people in the Cui family, except Cui Shiyi Niang who was still in shock, the other two had calm expressions.
Cui Shiyi Niang: "Ninth sister, what should we do when we go back?"
"If father knew that I had harmed Lady Jing because of my hasty words... I, I'm afraid I won't be able to survive!"
"Ninth sister, I'm scared... uh uh..."
Cui Shiyi Niang, who is honest and straightforward, is really scared this time.
Cui Jiuniang: "You didn't say anything."
"She lost her patience."
"Because her selfish desire to covet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was exposed, the Princess, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and the Crown Princess witnessed her misbehavior and her dirty thoughts."
"What does this have to do with you?"
"Even if there is any result, today's trouble is her own fault."
"Remember?"
Cui Shiyi Niang nodded continuously in a timid manner.
Cui Qillang looked at Princess Nanping, seeming to want to say something but stopping himself.
But Nanping no longer paid any attention to him.
He just turned his face away coldly.
Cui Qilang couldn't hide the loneliness in his eyes.
Li Qingluo nodded to Cui Jiuniang, and the two looked at each other and smiled slightly.
Cui Jiuniang: "Let's go. We should go out."
The three of them said goodbye and left in a hurry.
Duan Rongshi: "Would you like to go and see how they hunt bears?"
Duan Rongshi was asking Li Qingluo in a low voice.
Princess Nanping was completely unaware and anxiously answered, "Yes! Uncle Fifth Prince, let's quickly catch up with Mother and the others!"
"If you don't go now, you won't be able to see the fun!"
Pan Li pulled Princess Nanping forward quickly: "Hurry, let's go first."
Princess Nanping: "Why? Hey - don't be so anxious -"
"Slow down—"
Nanping was pulled onto the horse by Pan Li and ran away first.
Li Qingluo: ...
Que'er and the others all walked away consciously.
In an instant, only Li Qingluo and Duan Rongshi were left around.
Li Qingluo then slowly climbed onto his horse, and the two of them walked side by side, slowly heading towards the place where there was a stone pier bridge.
"Your Highness, I heard you defeated the pirates. Are you not hurt?"
Duan Rongshi: "Who can hurt this king?"
After the words were out of his mouth, he suddenly smiled again: "Luo'er, are you concerned about me?"
Li Qingluo blushed.
Still admitted frankly: "...Yes."
Duan Rongshi immediately had an idea.
He reached out and grabbed her wrist, then gently pulled her along with just a little strength.
Li Qingluo sat on the horse in front of him.
