Chapter 37 Undercurrent

Outside the hunting ground, the sky gradually faded, and many princes and nobles had already taken their prey out of Shangyang Mountain.

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

"Didn't Yaoyao's cousin come out yet?"

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

Hunting is a physical job, and most of the people who participated were men. Many women left Shangyang Mountain before the sky was dark and gathered in the camp at the foot of the mountain. The same was true for his fiancée Zheng Yueyao.

Realizing that something was wrong, Emperor Yong's face also darkened a little, and he whispered a few words to the guards beside him.

Not long after, the guards came to report, but they didn't know what they said, Emperor Yong's tone became more and more serious:

"Let's look for it again."

The reason why he was so relieved that Li Mingji took Shu Yao away was that, first, this was a hunting area designated by the royal family, with officers and soldiers guarding the edges, and the probability of encountering danger was not high; second, he had already chosen a personal guard for Shu Yao. Shortly after Shu Yao entered the mountain, this personal guard also followed and protected it in the dark.

However, the guard heard news that it was the captain of the personal guards who said that they had lost Shu Yao and the others very early, and had been wandering in the forest for an afternoon but still not looking for them. They are now searching deeper.

Shangyang Mountain has been a hunting ground for so many years. Emperor Yong came to Shangyang Mountain with the former emperor when he was very young. He was very familiar with every grass and tree. He knew that there were no beasts here at all, and the only dangerous thing was a cliff. What could Shu Yao and the others do?

Zhang Sheng looked as usual and comforted: "Your Majesty, the princess is protected by guards. It should be just the little princess who is too playful, so she came out later."

"I hope so."

Having said that, Emperor Yong still felt uneasy. Some eunuchs counted the number of people and reported to Emperor Yong: "Your Majesty, I have already asked about these aristocratic families. In addition to Princess Huaxi, there are Prince Xie and Miss Shu Er who have not returned."

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

Princess Huaxi, Prince Xie, Miss Shu Er?

The story of two women fighting for a man, especially the personal sisters fighting each other, is not uncommon among wealthy families. I just didn’t expect that Princess Huaxi and Prince Xie had such a good relationship, and such an accident would happen...

Before Emperor Yong could speak, the prince's patience was exhausted first, and he pressed the saddle with one hand, "Father, I want to go into the mountain to find Yaoyao's cousin."

As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of horse hooves drew from far to near. Li Mingji led the horse, and Shu Yao sat on the horse's back, waved to Emperor Yong, and smiled brightly: "Uncle, I'm back!"

"Yaoyao."

Seeing that the little princess was indeed well protected, a smile finally appeared on Emperor Yong's face, and the prince also frowned slightly, "Cousin Yaoyao, don't be so reckless in the future. Both Gu and his father are worried about you."

He was concerned and generous and calm, as if he was a very care and greeting between brothers and sisters.

Shu Yao dislikes others to discipline her the most, but after all, she is in the wrong, so she has to stick out her tongue and explain: "We don't know that we will wander around the mountains for so long..."

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

Emperor Yong couldn't bear to blame his niece who had been raised by himself 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 were in danger in the afternoon! Fortunately, with Li Mingji here, he protected me."

The little princess has never liked to hide her thoughts, and her intention to praise was very obvious. Emperor Yong was amused by her and said, "Li Mingji has made great contributions to protecting the emperor, so he should be rewarded. Yaoyao tell me, what happened to you in Shangyang Mountain?"

"We met a group of wild wolves, but Li Mingji has solved them."

As soon as these words were said, the expressions of the people around him suddenly changed. Especially Zhang Sheng, who was standing by the side silently, had a strange expression.

Taking all the subtle changes in his eyes, Li Mingji calmly closed his eyes.

Emperor Yong said in a deep voice: "Wild Wolf?"

How come there are wild wolves in Shangyang Mountain?

Li Mingji nodded, "The wild wolves were hungry, probably for a few days. As Yibeizhi saw, the wild wolves came over the fence from the other side of the mountain. I heard that the Shangyang Mountain Hunting Ground is protected by fences, but what happened to those fences?"

Every year, the autumn hunting is controlled by the Palace Front Office. The commander of the Palace Front Office is Zhang Sheng. When he met Emperor Yong's sight, Zhang Sheng immediately said: "Your Majesty, before the autumn hunting begins, his subordinates have ordered people to inspect it again and again, and no problem with the fence is found."

Li Mingji has no idea: "That's someone who destroyed it?"

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

The wild wolves were wandering on Shangyang Mountain. If Li Mingji hadn't been by his side, Shu Yao would have met the wild wolves alone... Emperor Yong's face became darker and he turned over to the horse, "Yaoyao went back to the carriage to rest first. Li Mingji, where are those wild wolves? Take the imperial guards and follow me up the mountain."

Li Mingji said that he was gentle.

He led the horse and took Shu Yao back to the camp. He passed by the carriages of the Xie family and Shu family. Shu Yao blinked and suddenly spoke in surprise: "Oh! Why did I forget about this princess? There is another thing. Brother Yanzhou and Shu Ningyou fell down from 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 him were colorful, especially Qin Yanghou. When he met the pressure-filled gaze of the Xie family, Qin Yanghou felt very regretful and ordered in a calm voice: "What are you hesitating? Why don't you follow His Majesty to the mountain to find the second lady?"

...

The night was dark, and the guards set up tents, raised bonfires, and shared their prey today.

A palace servant brought her new soft boots. Shu Yao changed into new shoes, hugged lazily in the carriage, and massaged her shoulders with a pine needle.

"Princess, this is the barbecue sent by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Do you want to try it?"

Chunrui came in with a plate.

The prince obviously came prepared and prepared a lot of seasonings. The barbecue on the bamboo sticks was processed, with even slices, golden color, and exuded a greedy fragrance.

Shu Yao had no appetite. Instead, she recalled that Li Mingji took her to pick up branches on Shangyang Mountain and used the most primitive way to make fire and barbecue. Although the roasted meat was not as delicious as the dish, it was a rare and interesting experience in her life.

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

Chunrui nodded and said yes. She went outside for a walk, then opened the curtain with the news, "Princess, Li Langjun and the others are back."

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