stern wife

Chapter 357

Zhu Yuting snorted lightly, with unknown meaning, and said to Zhu Tingzhi:
"This place is very unsafe, elder brother and fourth younger brother are planning to go back?"

Zhu Tingzhi shook his head honestly, and said:
"We have already sent guards to search all over the forest. If there are assassins hiding there, we will catch them. If there are no assassins, that's great. My eldest brother and I will wait until the search is over before continuing. The emperor finally came out. We can't It’s disappointing him to go home empty-handed.”

Zhu Yuting rolled his eyes and said:
"Then you guys stay here. I'll go to see if there's anything wrong with my father. If not, I'll come back and continue with you."

Zhu Tingzhi nodded and watched Zhu Yuting get on his horse and leave.

Pei Xiaoran touched his chin, and whispered:

"Your Majesty has more manpower than ours, so it's not easy to cause accidents, and I didn't hear the arrows being fired from there. Isn't the move of the Third Highness a bit superfluous?"

Zhu Tingzhi turned his head and looked at her. Both of them saw some kind of speculation in the other's eyes, and they couldn't help smiling at each other tacitly.

Seeing this scene, Zhu Lianxi who was next to him couldn't help narrowing his eyes slightly, and there was a little cold light in his eyes.

Probably because of being pissed off by Pei Youmin, after the guards came back from the search and reported that there were no more suspicious people in the forest, Zhu Lianxi immediately led the men and horses and ran towards the depths of the forest, venting their anger on the wild beasts in the forest up.

Pei Xiaoran was not very interested in hunting, and walked slowly behind Zhu Tingzhi.

Zhu Tingzhi didn't seem to like killing animals either, he only caught a few hares and then stopped. He didn't catch them with arrows, but got off his horse to catch them alive himself.

Pei Xiaoran unexpectedly discovered that His Royal Highness's skills are quite good, but he is usually too low-key, so that few people know about it.

After distributing the hares to the guards, Zhu Tingzhi picked out the smallest little gray rabbit and walked towards Pei Xiaoran, crouched down and asked with a smile:

"Do you want to touch it? It's very nice to touch."

The sunlight fell from the branches and leaves, and fell into his smiling eyes, which was crystal clear.

Even though he was born in the most complicated and cruel royal family, he has such a pair of pure and innocent eyes, which shows that this person's heart is firm and pure.

Pei Xiaoran stretched out a small paw to touch the rabbit's body. The fur of the little rabbit is much softer than that of the big rabbit. The soft and warm fine fur slides over the pulp of the finger, which is really easy to touch.

Pei Xiaoran couldn't hold back and touched a few more times. After she touched it enough, Zhu Tingzhi let the little gray rabbit go.

A group of people strolled for a while, seeing that it was almost noon, they headed towards Linwaixing.

Emperor Chixuan came out with all the civil and military officials a long time ago, and everyone gained a lot. After all, in order not to disappoint the emperor, someone would go to the forest to release some prey in advance.

Among the three princes who came today, Zhu Yuting gained the most, followed by Zhu Lianxi, and Zhu Tingzhi came last.

Emperor Chixuan was not partial, and encouraged everyone one by one, and then invited everyone to eat meat and drink together at night.

Naturally, everyone did not disagree, but Pei Xiaoran saw that after everyone dispersed to rest, Zhu Tingzhi asked the guards holding the hare to send the hare back to the forest.

She sighed slightly, and there was only one thought left in her mind:
Good people are not rewarded.

Pei Xiaoran turned around, and just wanted to see how her cousin who was bitten by a snake was doing, but out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of a young man curled up in a dark corner with his head bowed, his body twitching Yes, it seems to be crying.

Pei Xiaoran couldn't help feeling a little strange, walked over, and asked softly:

"Little brother, what's wrong with you?"

The young man was completely immersed in grief, he didn't notice that someone had discovered him and came over to talk to him. Hearing this, he quickly lowered his head and buried his face in his arms, wiping all his tears and snot on his sleeves, and then opened his mouth in a muffled voice. road:

"No, nothing..."

Pei Xiaoran took out his handkerchief from his sleeve and handed it to him, then poked him.

The young man looked up at her, then looked down at the handkerchief handed to him, but he did not refuse her kindness, took the handkerchief and thanked him in a low voice.

Pei Xiaoran didn't ask any more questions, but walked to the boy's side, and squatted down, silently accompanying him.

Judging by the young man's attire, he is definitely the young master of some family, but seeing that there is no servant around him, one can tell that he sneaked out by himself.

What happened to you so sad that you need to sneak out to vent?
Probably because there was someone by his side, the boy's mood gradually stabilized, and after a while, he said in a low voice with a strong nasal voice:

"I... I had a very good, very good partner who just died."

Pei Xiaoran was startled, and subconsciously said:
"Could it be bitten by a poisonous snake?"

But after thinking about it, I think it's impossible, because in the forest where the Holy Majesty is going, there can never be any animals that are dangerous to human life. Even snakes with good concealment will definitely dig three feet to kill them. Finished.

The boy really shook his head and said:

"I was not bitten to death by a poisonous snake, but shot to death by someone with an arrow."

Pei Xiaoran was puzzled:
"You also met an assassin?"

The boy still shook his head and said:
"It's not an assassin, it's one of our own, but I don't know who it is. At that time, everyone scattered to find prey. He found a sika deer and asked me to help him catch it. I chased it with him. The deer went, but who knows, while running, suddenly an arrow was shot from nowhere, and it just hit him."

Pei Xiaoran frowned, she had heard of accidental injury in her last life when she married Zhu Lianxi and went hunting with him, but this was the first time she had heard of such an accurate 'accidental injury'.

The boy continued:

"I immediately sent people to chase the arrow in the direction it came from, and then I sent people to bring him back to the doctor, but the arrow hit his heart, and the doctor said there was no way to save him. The people who went after me also came back and told me that there are several people in that direction, and several people have shot arrows, and no one knows who shot the arrow."

I don't know what came to mind, the boy felt sad again, covered his face with a veil and cried out:

"Then...then he died, his father was afraid of spoiling the Holy Spirit, so he immediately took his body away, and I wanted to follow, but my father disagreed, saying that it was wrong to leave without the Holy Spirit's permission." Disrespect to the Holy Majesty, I want to ask the Holy Majesty, but my father will not let me, so..."

Pei Xiaoran patted him on the shoulder to show comfort, and then asked:
"What's the name of your partner?"

Maybe she can help to check and see if there are any clues, because from the boy's narration, she heard something unusual.
