Hearing this, the emperor raised his eyebrows.

He sneered in his heart, narrowed his eyes slightly and looked back and forth between Tang Kun and Xiao Duo for a moment. Thinking of the rare calmness of his second son these days, he calmly looked away.

He ordered: "Liu Shen, take him down and show him to the imperial doctor."

Liu Shen should be right.

Xiao Duo also breathed a sigh of relief, and his clenched fingers under the table slowly loosened.

Tang Kun was very reluctant, but because of the emperor's face, he had no choice but to hand Tang Qiyan over, deliberately picked him up from the ground, and threatened in a low voice: "You know what you should and shouldn't say, otherwise …”

He bit the last few words so softly that only two people could hear them clearly.

Tang Qiyan suddenly looked up at him.

His breathing became heavier, his dark eyes seemed to be burning with fire, and his eyes were as fierce as a lone wolf that had been hungry for a long time.

Liu Shen quickly took the person down.

Xue Mingyue didn't see the confrontation between the Tian family's father and son that she was most looking forward to seeing, and she felt a little regretful. However, this episode did not affect the lively competition on the field.

She was thinking about Tang Qiyan's situation in her mind.

At least he saved her, and she happened to run into the Tang family's affairs, so she had to do her best to help him.

She despised that Tang Kun.

Since he was able to bring up the idea of ​​birth defects in front of His Majesty, it shows that he is not afraid of revealing his secrets. It is very likely that he will bribe the imperial doctor to collude with the confession in front of His Majesty. The more ruthless it is, the better to confirm the matter.

All Xue Mingyue could do was to advise him to be more vigilant.

If possible, try to recuperate his body as much as possible.

·

The first test ended not long after.

The emperor did not stay any longer. He casually said a few words of encouragement, stood up and left the stand. As soon as he left, the palace guards also left with him, and the officials around the venue also dispersed.

Xue Mingyue also packed up and prepared to leave.

Looking around, he suddenly realized that Xie Lang did not follow the emperor, but walked straight towards her.

"?"

Xue Mingyue was a little confused, why didn't he follow to protect His Majesty?

As soon as Xie Lang came over, he squeezed Liuyun Liuxing out, and when he was about to help her leave, he suddenly paused, looked down at her and asked: "You are frightened, should I help you go to the tent to rest?"

"..."

A look of astonishment appeared in Xue Mingyue's eyes.

She took half a step back to avoid his hand, shook her head and refused, "No, I have Liuyun and the others, that's fine."

Xie Lang's eyes darkened slightly, he retracted his hand calmly, nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll go with you."

"Although Jin Wuwei is busy, he can still find time to send you back."

He chuckled.

After all, he didn't give her a chance to refuse again.

Xue Mingyue had just finished typing the manuscript, and when she heard him say this, she had to swallow it back and said, "Okay."

A little smile overflowed from Xie Lang's black eyes.

It was getting late, and the setting sun dyed the sky a rich orange-red color, and long shadows were cast behind people walking around the venue.

Along the way, both of them were silent.

"The person who rescued you today is Tang Qiyan, the eldest son of the Zhenguo General's Mansion. I will have someone give him a thank you gift later. Do you have any thoughts on this matter?" Xie Lang was the first to break the silence.

Um? Xue Mingyue turned her head and looked at him.

Why did he suddenly become at odds with her today?

She felt a little weird, and after thinking about it, she asked, "Can I prepare a thank you gift myself?"

"Of course," Xie Lang nodded and added, "Tang Qiyan and General Tang's father and son have a bad relationship. It is best if the thank you gift we send can be delivered to Tang Qiyan for sure, otherwise he will definitely ignore him. .”

"..."

Xue Mingyue's mouth twitched slightly.

What you said is that you didn't save any face for Tang Kun.

She glanced at Xie Lang with complicated eyes. He was not worried that the words would reach Tang Kun's ears. He clicked his tongue in his heart and nodded: "Okay, I'll note it down. What do you think about sending some medicinal supplements?"

"Okay, what do you want for dinner?"

"??"

Xie Lang deliberately slowed down and walked side by side with her.

He lowered his head and met her clear eyes, his heart moved slightly: "Then I will ask them to send a prepared rabbit over later. If you are frightened, you can stay in the tent to rest at night. There is no need to go to the courtiers and their families. It’s over.”

Xue Mingyue's heart suddenly moved, this was just what she wanted.

"Is this okay?"

"It's okay. I'll have someone bring you food then."

After sending her back to the tent, someone from Jinwu Guard came to Xie Lang and said it was about the hunting area, so Xie Lang left in a hurry.

After hesitating for a long time, Lidong and Liuyun said hello and followed them.

Xue Mingyue didn't care much. She went back to the tent to take a shower and change her clothes. After she finished washing and came out, the sky had darkened outside and the tent was filled with the rich aroma of fish soup.

There was only one happy Liu Xing left in the tent.

"Miss, we set up a fire outside to roast rabbit, and we're just waiting for you!"

Xue Mingyue laughed: "Little greedy guy."

Liu Xing also smiled and hurriedly stepped forward to tie her hair, put on a lake green coat, and put an extra cloak on her. Then the two of them walked out and walked all the way to the creek. under the tree.

The emperor and his courtiers all ate in the prepared place.

A bonfire was lit in front of the open space, with the emperor sitting in the center and the other courtiers scattered around the fire.

Further away, there is the bonfire place for the female relatives.

Xue Mingyue glanced at the faint light of the campfire in the distance and the lively sounds of music and dance. She blinked her clear apricot eyes and suddenly thought of Xie Lang.

I thought he should be with His Majesty at this moment.

She didn't follow Qiu Lie in her previous life.

But later I heard that Xie Lang gained His Majesty's appreciation at the Autumn Hunting Paddock, and was directly promoted from the captain of the Jinwu Guard to the rank of Lang General, second only to the Lieutenant General Lian Dongshu, and became the second-in-command of the Jinwu Guard.

Because of this, he has become a popular candidate for the prince to win over.

Thinking of this, Xue Mingyue suddenly paused, a trace of regret flashed in her eyes, and then shook her head helplessly, why did she always think of these things.

What happens to Xie Lang in the future has nothing to do with her.

The heaviness rising in Xue Mingyue's heart dissipated in an instant, and she walked briskly towards Liu Yun and the other two people in front of the fire. As soon as they got closer, they heard the sound of barbecue being sizzling and oily, and the aroma was rich.

There is a cool breeze blowing by the stream, carrying the scent of green grass and dew.

The skin of the roasted rabbit glowed golden in the firelight.

There is a small table next to it.

Xue Mingyue glanced around after sitting down and found that there were several plates of barbecue, as well as wine, vegetables and fruits. She couldn't help but asked in surprise: "Where did these come from?"

"Miss, this was sent by the Marquis just now."

"……oh."

Liuyun glanced at her expression carefully and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she was not unhappy. He poured a cup of milk tea brewed in the stove and handed it to her.

Xue Mingyue picked up the meat with chopsticks and swallowed it as if nothing had happened.

He lowered his eyes and said, "I'll clear out a bowl of fish soup later, and find an opportunity to send it to him. Just treat it as returning his barbecued meat."

Lest he get distracted when the time comes.

Lidong had just brushed some sauce on the skin of the rabbit. When he heard this, his eyes lit up and he immediately said: "I'll go, I'll go! Madam, leave this matter to me, and I'll make sure it's done well for you!"

Xue Mingyue smiled and said: "It's done."

In the crackling firelight, the four masters and servants happily ate the barbecue with some wine.

Suddenly, a young, thin voice came from behind.

"elder sister."

Xue Mingyue was stunned at first.

Turning around, I saw a half-grown child standing behind the tree, leaning out half of his body, looking at them with a round head.
