Chu Xingyue only learned the news that he was leaving the Hunting Palace from Zhao Ling, who was lying beside him, when he fell asleep at night.

In fact, she really didn't have much of a good impression of this spring hunt.

Being able to go back early makes me feel comfortable.

It's just that thinking of Yunxiao's hurried figure coming and going during the day, she still couldn't help but be curious: "I see that Yunxiao is busy with his feet not touching the ground today, but he is still following your orders, tracking down the assassin who escaped?" ”

Zhao Ling hugged the delicate woman in his arms tightly, looked at her moving eyebrows, and dropped an intimate kiss on the tip of her nose: "If you dare to commit murder under the eyes of this king, this king will naturally not spare this person." ”

Chu Xingyue believed what Zhao Ling said, but she always felt that looking at Yunxiao's face, it seemed that things were not so simple.

Seeing Chu Xingyue rolling her smart and penetrating eyes, Zhao Ling was really afraid that she would detect some clues, so wouldn't everything he had painstakingly conceal be exposed.

Now, he could only speak out again: "Yue'er, do you remember what this king said to you, don't let you show your archery skills in front of others again." ”

Chu Xingyue nodded and said, "Remember, so in the past few days, many people have handed over prayer posts and wanted to ask me for advice on archery, but I have all refused on the grounds that I am unwell." ”

"Very well done." Zhao Ling took her hand and kissed her in her delicate palm.

Chu Xingyue glanced at Zhao Ling, who was smiling with satisfaction, but she was surprised in her heart.

This guy seemed to mind her showing off her archery skills very much, and told her more than once in private alone.

Before, she thought that it was because he didn't want to toss these men by himself, but after thinking about it for a long time, it didn't seem to mean that.

Could it be that Zhao Ling sensed something from the amazing archery skills she showed on the hunting ground that day, so she had this series of strange behaviors?

Chu Xingyue looked at Zhao Ling tentatively, and asked him cautiously, "Why don't you want me to touch the arrow again?" ”

Zhao Ling was also thinking of an excuse in his heart to deal with her.

"Yue'er, you are gifted and have super high archery skills, if this thing falls on ordinary people, it will naturally be gratifying; But you are now Princess Ling, with a noble status, and your words and deeds are seen by the world; Do you see a woman in a deep house in the capital who does not like to embroider flowers and flutter butterflies, but stands under the scorching sun with a bow and shoots arrows? ”

Chu Xingyue also felt that this guy's words made some sense, but she was still a little skeptical: "Is it really just because of this reason?" ”

"That's not the reason, which one do you think it is?"

Zhao Ling scratched her nose with a smile and told her seriously: "Yue'er, your eyesight is very good, and your talent is also very good, so you will stand out in archery and other aspects; But you have to know that this is a world that does not allow for special aliens, and when you show your uniqueness, you will also attract danger as well as applause. ”

Zhao Ling hugged Chu Xingyue tightly, firmly embed her whole person in his arms, and continued: "This king hopes that you can live an ordinary life, it doesn't matter if you don't know how to shoot arrows, this king will be fine, don't be afraid of danger coming to the door, because this king will protect you." As long as you are the princess of this king, it is enough. You know? ”

Chu Xingyue was a little confused when she heard Zhao Ling's words, but she also heard a hint of strangeness from his tone.

Could it be that this guy has discovered her special abilities?

Thinking of this, Chu Xingyue couldn't help but be a little frightened; carefully recalled the bits and pieces of getting along with him these days, and sorted out whether he had exposed anything in front of him.

In the end, all the suspicions point to the assassination that happened suddenly last night.

At that time, she had just experienced the cold arrow that flew in, and seeing Zhao Ling desperately protecting her regardless of life and death, she opened her heavenly eye in front of Zhao Ling when she was moved and excited; Told him all the locations of the enemies outside the house, and it was probably at that time that he noticed something.

However, fortunately, this guy didn't seem to ask in detail because he wasn't sure about it, so he said such a vague thing to her.

As long as Chu Xingyue thought that the secret she had carefully hidden might have been exposed, and it might be known to Zhao Ling, she couldn't help but sweat in her palms, and kept raising her eyelids to look at Zhao Ling secretly.

Seeing her caution and the erratic look in her eyes, Zhao Ling raised her chin with a smile and smiled at her: "What's wrong?" Looking at this king with such strange eyes? ”

In fact, at this time, Chu Xingyue really wanted to ask him if he already knew something.

However, another voice sounded in her head, in case this guy casually said it and blew her up, wouldn't she expose herself by asking this?

After much hesitation, she decided to wait and see what happened; Anyway, the secret is on her, as long as she insists on not saying it, no one can do anything about her.

"Zhao Ling, if you encounter something like last night in the future, will you continue to protect me?"

Zhao Ling looked at the silly girl in his arms, put her head on his heart, and told her: "This king will protect you for the rest of his life, even if this king himself is in a deep crisis, he will not let you have any mistakes." ”

Chu Xingyue listened to this answer that only the male protagonist of a romance drama can say, and it was definitely fake to say that she was not moved; However, she still had too many concerns to be honest with him.

She really hoped that one day in the future, when he knew all her secrets, including her identity from the future, he would be able to say such things to her so frankly and affectionately.

……

As soon as the news of Emperor Showa's decision to return to the capital in the near future spread, the entourage living in the hunting palace began to prepare.

The tranquility of Yusheng Juli was also broken, Chun Xing was capable, and she didn't need Chu Xingyue's advice to do everything well, which saved Chu Xingyue a lot of effort.

In the next few days, Chu Xingyue had been carefully watching the movements of the clouds.

It's not that she's suspicious, but since the assassination that night, Yunxiao has begun to become elusive.

Several times she saw that he was obviously in trouble with his legs and feet, but she still gritted her teeth and insisted on doing what Zhao Ling explained.

After the last inquiry, I found out that Yunxiao was not doing well, and he had not found the escaped assassin so far, so Zhao Ling rewarded him with a board in a fit of anger.

Twenty boards slapped on the ass and immediately made his buttocks bloom.

Chu Xingyue knew that Zhao Ling had always been gracious to her subordinates, so she naturally wouldn't interfere in this matter.

However, seeing that Zhao Ling even punished Yunxiao, it can be seen that Zhao Ling's attitude towards this matter is firm.

In the past, she had always thought that these killers were most likely sent by those jealous women who wanted to assassinate her, but now looking at Zhao Ling's attitude towards this matter and the trickiness of this matter, Chu Xingyue vaguely felt that things didn't seem to be as simple as she thought.

If these killers were really dispatched by some women, how could they give Yunxiao such a headache and make Zhao Ling so important.

But if everything is not what she guessed in her heart, what will the truth be?

After all, this matter is about himself, and Chu Xingyue is not hanging high; But she couldn't find out the intelligence news from Zhao Ling's mouth, and for a while, she could only get angry and guess in her heart.

And just like that, a few more days passed slowly.

And today, it is the day when Emperor Showa returned to Beijing with his relatives and accompanying officials.

Chu Xingyue sat in the carriage when she came and slowly swayed back, looking at the curtains that were blown and rolled up by the wind, but her thoughts drifted to the first day of coming to Luli Mountain.

At that time, her relationship with Zhao Ling was not as good as it is now, and she also participated in this spring hunt with the purpose of being embarrassed with Zhao Xuan; I didn't expect so many things to happen and so many changes to happen.

No wonder the old people often say that the world is impermanent, and all plans cannot keep up with changes.

After these fifteen days of getting along, even if she didn't want to admit it, she couldn't deny that Zhao Ling's evil had left a shadow in her heart.

Chun Xing has always been a lively and laughing person, she served by Chu Xingyue's side, and she also understood her temperament to some extent.

Although Miss has been as usual these days, Chunxing is still keenly aware that she seems to have something on her mind.

Many times, the young lady sat alone and was silent, and her eyebrows were slightly locked, and she didn't know what she couldn't understand in her heart, so she would reveal this description.

Today, I was finally able to leave the Hunting Palace and go home, Chun Xing's mood has always been very good, sitting in the carriage and chattering, thinking of ways to make Chu Xingyue happy.

"Miss, the prince said two days ago that he would take us to Longquan Temple for incense, the slave maid took a look at the beautiful weather, prepared a carriage, and went to Longquan Temple together, okay?"

For Chu Xingyue, with her current mood, let alone going to Longquan Temple, she just wanted her to see the real dragon, and she didn't have much interest.

It's just that seeing Chun Xing's eagerness to try, and then thinking that Zhao Ling took the time to accompany him, he couldn't bear to blow the hearts of the two of them, so he nodded and agreed.

Chun Xing shouted in surprise and began to chirp again.

At this time, the carriage, which had been moving slowly, suddenly stopped, and then heard a woman's voice coming from outside the carriage: "The slave maid is from the Quewei Palace, and she came to deliver banquets and snacks to Princess Ling on the order of the noble concubine Niangniang. ”

Chu Xingyue was bored, and suddenly heard this female voice outside, and immediately the hairs on her spine exploded.

Why did Yanran come to the door again this week?

Chu Xingyue glanced at Chunxing, who had already gone to open the car door, and poked her head out.

Sure enough, I saw a palace lady dressed in pink palace clothes standing in front of the carriage, holding a red tray in her hand, on the left side of the tray was a letter of worship, and on the right was a delicate snack box.

Seeing Chu Xingyue appearing, Gong E knew the etiquette very well, and after saluting Chu Xingyue, she spoke.

"There are seven more days, it is the birthday of my concubine Niangniang, every year on Niangniang's birthday, I will invite my friends to come to the party; The concubine said that she and the princess hit it off at first sight and liked it very much; Therefore, I have invited you this year, and I hope that the princess will be able to attend on time. ”

Saying that, Xiao Gong'e looked at the dim sum box in her hand again, and looked at Chu Xingyue with a pure smile: "The concubine said that the princess loves pastries, these dim sum are carefully cooked by the imperial kitchen, and the princess can eat some dim sum to pass the boring time." ”
