Immediately afterwards, there was another loud noise, and Xu Shihuan knew that it was a bear falling into a trap. Not taking any chances, she hurriedly jumped down from the rock wall, and the two envoys hurried over behind her.

In the trap, a huge brown bear was breathing heavily. A spear hit its heart. Death was just a matter of time.

Princess Shuhui actually fell next to the trap with Wen Yidi, with a look of shock on her face. It was not difficult to guess that the scream just now was made by her.

There was silence for a while, and Li Xianer seemed to have calmed down. She struggled to get up, kicked Wen Yidi in the face, and cursed angrily:

"You cheap businessman! How dare you make me fall down! Do you not want to live anymore?"

Wen Yidi could only hug his body into a ball, trying not to leave any traces of injury on his face. However, Princess Shuhui only kicked her two or three times and then suddenly stopped.

Wen Yidi quietly let go of his body and wanted to figure out what was going on, but saw Xu Shihuan walking over with a cold face and said angrily:

"Master Wen, what's going on? I told you a few days ago that you won't be allowed to appear in front of Princess Shuhui. It seems that Master Wen didn't listen to what I said!"

As she spoke, she changed her tone to a softer tone and said to Princess Shuhui:

"This cheap businessman has repeatedly offended the princess. It is the official's dereliction of duty. I hope the princess will be more lenient."

Li Xian'er had never seen Xu Shihuan be so humble. She instantly felt that she had the upper hand and began to say reluctantly:

"Master Xu, what you said is wrong. I can certainly not pursue your dereliction of duty, but Wen Yidi cannot let it go so easily. How about..."

Before Li Xianer finished speaking, Xu Shihuan spoke first:

"In this case, why don't I chop off his head on the spot, so that I can give an explanation to Princess Shuhui and the two envoys. Come here! Bring Wen Yidi to me!"

With that said, Xu Shihuan pulled out the sword from one of the guards, looking full of murderous intent! The people around him were so frightened that they took a few steps back.

They thought Xu Shihuan was just talking, but looking at this attitude, she actually wanted to do it for real? After hesitating for a moment, two brave guards stood up and tried to persuade them:

"Master Xu, Master Wen was ordered by the emperor to escort Princess Shuhui. Of course he was at fault, but you don't have to do anything for him."

Li Xian'er also panicked at this time. Just now she was standing next to the trap watching the excitement, and the bear suddenly rushed out, which really shocked her.

If Wen Yidi hadn't pulled her, she would have fallen into the trap. Although Li Xian'er had beaten and scolded Wen Yidi over the years, she never thought about actually taking his life.

Seeing Xu Shihuan's attitude of not giving up until Wen Yidi was killed, she finally couldn't help but stand up:

"Sir Xu, it was originally a happy event to escort this princess to the Suwu Kingdom. Do you insist on beheading Wen Yidi because you want to bring trouble to both countries?"

She had taken medicine that made her body weak, and she had just been frightened, so her words were trembling. Especially the way Xu Shihuan looked at her, it seemed that what he wanted to chop off was not Wen Yidi's head, but Li Xian'er's.

"Master Xu, please calm down, the envoy from Suwu Kingdom is still watching."

An attendant reminded him softly, and the two envoys came over as expected, with blank expressions on their faces, not knowing what they were arguing about.

Xu Shihuan then put away his sword and walked up to the two envoys to explain:

[They did something wrong just now, which frightened the goddess. I am teaching them a lesson. 】

The two envoys were immediately relieved when they saw that it was such a trivial matter. They were more concerned about how to deal with the big brown bear at the moment.

"You guys, go and see if the brown bear is dead? If it is, deal with it quickly. We will rest in this cave tonight and eat bear meat."

Xu Shihuan gave the order and several attendants got busy. She then said to the two envoys:

[Tonight we will eat bear meat. The bear skin will be cleaned up and the goddess will take it to the country of Suwu. 】

The two envoys were looking for this bear skin, and they were instantly satisfied after hearing Xu Shihuan's arrangement. It was too cold outside, so they didn't stay long. They hurried back to the carriage and changed into clean clothes, waiting for the evening meal.

"Princess Shuhui, I will spare this cheap businessman's life for your sake today. However, if I see Wen Yidi appear in front of the princess again and make the princess unhappy, then I will not Don't be too lenient!"

Hearing that Wen Yidi was no longer in fear of his life, Li Xianer rarely argued with Xu Shihuan, but just stared at Wen Yidi in silence, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Come here! Take Wen Yidi back to the carriage. Don't let him get down without my order! Don't give him anything to eat!"

Normally, Xu Shihuan's words had no deterrent effect, and they even wished they could hide in the carriage and not come out. But in this snowy weather, the carriage was as cold as an ice cellar. Staying there for a few hours, let alone a night, was very difficult.

Wen Yidi did not struggle and followed the two attendants back to the carriage. There was a blanket in the car that he had prepared in advance, and it didn't feel cold when it was covered with him. However, the frostbite on his hands and feet seemed to be returning, and the pain and itching were hard to ignore.

It wasn't until the sky completely darkened and everyone finished dealing with the brown bear and cleaning up the cave that Wen Yidi realized something was wrong.

The carriage and horses were placed in a cave inside, leaving only one attendant to guard them. The rest of the people set up tents in the cave outside, lit bonfires, and ate bear meat.

It wasn't until there was a burst of voices outside that it turned out that other attendants had finished their meals and came here to change their posts, Wen Yidi finally realized the reality. It turned out that what Xu Shihuan just said was true.

There was a pot of herbal tea in the car, as well as the dried apricots, dried meat, and snacks he brought from Chengzhou, so he wouldn't be hungry. He wrapped the fur blanket around his body. Although his body still couldn't feel the warmth, he wasn't shivering from the cold.

Since childhood, Wen Yidi has suffered far more hardships and sins than he does now. But he looked like an abandoned puppy, looking aggrieved and about to burst into tears the next moment.

There was a vague guess in his heart that Xu Shihuan was angry. But the scary thing is that Wen Yidi doesn't know what she is angry about, and she doesn't know whether from now on, she will be tired of herself and will never put any extra energy on herself.

He covered his head completely with a blanket, deceiving himself and telling himself that as long as he slept, everything would be fine. But when he thought that Xu Shihuan was angry, he couldn't sleep.

Outside the cave, the snow is falling heavier and heavier. If they hadn't found a cave to rest in advance, they might have been stuck on the road tonight.

From afternoon to evening, Xu Shihuan had been busy and had just had time to rest and eat. She looked at the cave inside, finally sighed, took some things and walked over.
