The princess is soft!The sick villain is crazy

Chapter 37 Undercurrent
Outside the hunting ground, the sky was getting darker, and many princes and nobles had already walked out of Shangyang Mountain with their prey.

The prey was piled up together, and officers and soldiers came forward to count and count them one by one.

"Cousin Yaoyao hasn't come out yet?"

The prince led the horse out of Shangyang Mountain, swept the crowd, but did not see the figure he was looking for.

Hunting is a physical activity, and most of the participants are men.Many girls left Shangyang Mountain when the sky was still dark, and gathered at the camp below the mountain, as did his fiancée Zheng Yueyao.

Realizing that the situation was wrong, Emperor Yong's face darkened a bit, and he whispered a few words to the guards around him.

Not long after, the guard came trotting to report, and he didn't know what he said, and Emperor Yong's tone became more serious:

"Go find it again."

The reason why he let Li Mingji take Shu Yao away so reassuringly is that this is the hunting area designated by the royal family, and there are officers and soldiers guarding the edge, so the possibility of encountering danger is not high; The personal guards, not long after Shu Yao entered the mountain, this personal guards also followed up and protected in the dark.

However, news came from the bodyguard, saying that it was the captain of the bodyguard army who said that they had lost Shu Yao and the two of them very early on, wandered around the forest all afternoon but did not find them, and now they are searching deeper.

Shangyang Mountain has been used as a hunting ground for so many years. Emperor Yong came to Shangyang Mountain to hunt with the first emperor when he was very young. He is very familiar with every plant and tree. He knows that there are no wild animals here. The only dangerous place is a cliff , Shu Yao and the others, what could happen?

Zhang Sheng's expression was as usual, and he comforted him: "Your Majesty, the princess is protected by guards. It should be that the little princess is just playful, so she came out later."

"I hope so."

Having said that, Emperor Yong still felt uneasy.After counting the number of people, a servant reported to Emperor Yong: "Your Majesty, I have already asked these aristocratic families. Except for Princess Huaxi, there are still Xie Xiaoshi and Miss Shu who have not returned."

The voice of the servants was not low, and the expressions on the faces of many people who were quietly paying attention to Emperor Yong's side became richer.

Princess Huaxi, Xie Xiaoshizi, Second Miss Shu?

Stories of two women competing for one man, especially sisters' rivalry, are not uncommon in wealthy families.It's just that I didn't expect that Princess Huaxi and Xie Xiaoshizi have such a good relationship, and such an accident would happen...

Before Emperor Yong could speak, the prince's patience ran out first, and he pressed the saddle with one hand, "Father, I have to go into the mountains to find cousin Yaoyao."

As soon as the words were finished, the sound of hoofbeats came from far to near. Li Mingji led the horse, while Shu Yao sat on the horse's back, and waved to Emperor Yong with a bright smile: "Uncle, I'm back!"

"Lazy."

Seeing that the little princess is indeed well protected, a smile finally appeared on Emperor Yong's face, and the crown prince frowned slightly, "Cousin Yaoyao, don't be so reckless in the future, I and my father are very worried about you."

His tone was concerned, and his attitude was generous and calm, as if the most common concern and greeting between brothers and sisters.

Shu Yao didn't like others to discipline her the most, but after all, she was at fault for this matter, so she stuck out her tongue and explained, "We didn't know we would spend so long wandering around the mountains..."

Li Mingji also said that the BMW knew the way, but who knew that the horse couldn't find the way at all, and it was Li Mingji who brought them out.

After all, Emperor Yong couldn't bear to blame the niece he brought up alone, and asked, "Yaoyao, why did you come out so late?"

Shu Yao was waiting for this sentence, and immediately talked about her experience in the mountains, "Uncle, you don't know, we have a thrilling afternoon! Fortunately, Li Mingji is here, he is the one who protected me."

The little princess never liked to hide her thoughts, and her intention of praising was very obvious. Emperor Yong was amused by her, and said: "Li Mingji deserves to be rewarded for his meritorious escort. Let me tell you what happened to you in Shangyang Mountain thing?"

"We encountered a group of wild wolves, but Li Mingji has already dealt with them."

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the surrounding people suddenly changed.Especially Zhang Sheng, who was standing silently by the side, had a strange expression on his face.

Taking in this subtle change, Li Ming quietly closed his eyes.

Emperor Yong said in a deep voice, "Wild wolf?"

How could there be wild wolves in Shangyang Mountain?

Li Mingji nodded, "Those wild wolves are hungry. I'm afraid they have been hungry for a few days. From what I can see, those wild wolves climbed over the fence from the other side of the mountain. I heard that the Shangyang Mountain hunting ground is protected by a fence, but Something wrong with those fences?"

Every autumn hunting is supervised by the Dianqian Division, and the commander of the Dianqian Division is Zhang Sheng.Meeting the eyes of Emperor Yong, Zhang Sheng immediately said: "Your Majesty, before the autumn hunting started, my subordinates have ordered people to inspect the fence again and again, and there is no problem with the fence."

Li Mingji didn't understand the meaning: "So someone sabotaged it?"

"Impossible!" Zhang Sheng frowned, and immediately denied Li Mingji's statement, "You have said beforehand that those wild wolves have been hungry for a few days, and it is not impossible for the wild wolves to destroy the fence in order to find food. .”

Wild wolves were wandering around Shangyang Mountain. If it wasn't for Li Mingji's presence, Shu Yao would have encountered wild wolves alone... Emperor Yong's expression darkened, and he got on his horse, "Yaoyao, go back to the carriage to rest first. Li Mingji, those wild wolves are here Where? Take the forbidden army and follow me up the mountain."

Li Mingji said yes meekly.

He led the horse, took Shu Yao back to the camp, passed by the Xie family's and Shu's carriages, Shu Yao blinked, and suddenly said in surprise: "Oh! Why did the princess forget, there is one more thing, brother Yanzhou Shu Ningyou and I fell off the cliff, Li Mingji and I couldn't save them, so we had to come out first."

Xie Yanzhou?Shu Ningyou?
The expressions of the people around were colorful, especially Qin Yanghou, who met the Xie family's stressed eyes, Qin Yanghou only felt regretful, and calmly ordered: "What are you hesitating about? Why don't you follow your majesty into the mountain to find the second lady? "

……

As the night fell, the guards set up tents, set up a bonfire, and shared today's prey.

Some palace people sent new boots that are soft and fit well.Shu Yao put on new shoes, lazily nestled in the carriage, and the pine needles massaged her shoulders.

"Princess, this is the barbecue sent by His Royal Highness, would you like to try it?"

Chunrui came in with a plate.

The prince obviously came prepared and prepared a lot of seasonings. The roasted meat on the bamboo sticks has been processed, the slices are even, golden in color, and exudes a craving aroma.

Shu Yao didn't have much appetite, instead, she recalled that on Shangyang Mountain, Li Mingji took her to pick up branches, and used the most primitive way to make fire and barbecue.Although the roasted meat is not as delicious as the one on this plate, it is a rare and interesting experience in her life.

"You guys share it, I'm not hungry."

Chunrui nodded and said yes, went outside for a circle, and opened the curtain of the car with the news, "Princess, Li Langjun and the others are back."

Shu Yao, who was still yawning sleepily, suddenly lit up her eyes and sat up: "Where is he?"
