Lu Xingci did not wait to come back, but Yan Siyuan followed him first. He held a rabbit in his arms and walked to Qingyun. Mo Jingchun also took the initiative to make room for Yan Si.

"Xue'er, are you angry?" Yan Siyuan put his head towards Qingyun.

Qingyun turned her head away from him and said, "Who is angry? I am not."

Yan Siyuan smiled and stroked the rabbit in his arms, "Then you are jealous."

"How is it possible, I...I didn't, you are overthinking." Qingyun's reaction was very intense, and she felt like she was hiding something.

Yan Siyuan looked at her with suspicion. In order to divert attention, Qingyun snatched the rabbit from Yan Siyuan's arms.

"This rabbit is so special, the tips of its fur are pink."

She had discovered a long time ago that the rabbit in Yan Siyuan's arms was different, as if the sunset was draped over her body.

Yan Siyuan reached out and touched the rabbit, "It's different. I thought you would like it, so I hunted it."

"No wonder", the rabbit's hind legs were bandaged with cotton, and there was faint blood oozing out.

Qingyun touched her hand, and Rabbit shivered in pain. He looked at Qingyun helplessly with clear eyes.

Qingyun couldn't bear it, so she stroked its head soothingly, "Let's let it go when it's healed."

"Aren't you going to keep it?" He thought Qingyun would keep it because Qingyun had always liked special things.

Qingyun raised her head and glanced at him, and Yan Siyuan saw the unbearable look in her eyes, "That's not necessary. It's quite free in the forest. It's not nice to injure it and then force it into captivity."

Yan Siyuan was stunned for a moment. An idea flashed through his mind and he couldn't grasp it. When I tried to think deeper, I couldn't think of anything.

He looked at Qingyun who felt sorry for the rabbit and nodded "Okay".

"Is there anyone back?" This was the third time Emperor Yan ordered someone.

"Your Majesty, Master Lu and Shaoqing Qing have not returned yet."

"Not back yet?" Emperor Yan looked at the setting sun.

"Come here, go search Lin." No matter it is Lu Xingci or Qing Xiao, nothing can happen to either of them.

A large number of guards entered the woods and began a carpet-like search. Even Bian Guanyue sent female soldiers to search.

Qingyun looked at the anxious Mo Jingchun and said, "You guys should go too." Three sounds pierced the air and disappeared silently. They are the secret guards guarding Qingyun.

Qingyun didn't think there would be any danger in the forest. This was a royal hunting ground, and there wasn't even a wild beast in it.

Before autumn hunting, safety is checked countless times. Even if there is danger, it must be man-made.

Qingyun's eyes scanned the field one by one. Meng Xiaoxiao and Yan Jingcheng left with an excuse. They had no shame in staying any longer.

Except for Chu Xionghui, no one else in the Chu family is still here. Looking at the Duke's Mansion again, Meng Zirou and Fu Wanting were sitting dignifiedly, like statues. Qingyun felt tired for them just looking at them.

Only Meng Zhiyuan and Qingyun met their eyes, showing a hint of gloating and ill-intention. Qingyun stuck out her tongue and made a face. Meng Zhiyuan was so angry that she stamped her feet, but there was nothing she could do.

Finally Qingyun turned her attention to the Zhao family. Everyone else was fine, except Zhao Wumian, who kept looking at Lin Ruochu. He frowned, looking very troubled.

Lin Ruochu's eyes were always on the other side of the woods, and she didn't notice Zhao Wumian looking at her.

Qingyun thought for a while. It seemed that she had never investigated why Lin Ruochu came to Zhao's house.

Logically speaking, the relationship between the Lin family and Zhao is not very deep. They can only be regarded as distant relatives. In addition, Lin Ruochu's father is only a small county magistrate. The Zhao family should not bring Lin Ruochu over for no reason.

Yan Siyuan followed Qingyun's gaze to Zhao Wumian, then followed Zhao Wumian's gaze to Lin Ruochu, and said lightly, "The Zhao family originally wanted Lin Ruochu to be their concubine."

Qingyun looked at Yan Siyuan in surprise, no wonder, no wonder Yan Xuan framed Lin Ruochu. Because she knew that Lin Ruochu was here to compete with her for favor.

But she herself is also raising her face outside. She is really a domineering person. Even if she is flying colorful flags outside, the red flag at home cannot be dyed in other colors.

"However, Zhao Wumian has reconciled with Yan Xu'an, so Lin Ruochu can no longer be a concubine."

"I can no longer be a concubine. The Zhao family now wants Lin Ruochu to be their stepmother."

"Don't the Zhao family know that Lin Ruochu has good relations with the Prime Minister's Mansion?".

Lin Ruochu played with Qingyun and the others and did not avoid anyone.

"Of course I know, but the Zhao family is a neutral party and doesn't want to take a stand."

"But……".

Qing Yun was about to say that the Prime Minister's Office was also a neutral party, but she quickly realized that the Prime Minister's Office used to be a neutral party, but it is different now.

Yan Siyuan was the Ninth Prince, and he was so close to the Prime Minister's Mansion. Everyone had already assumed that the Prime Minister's Mansion was for Yan Siyuan.

In this way, Mo Linghuai and Qing Rongxu really doted on Qingyun, never restricting her freedom, and were not afraid that she would bring trouble to the family.

"Then Lin Ruochu is willing?"

"She didn't want to, so she had always had her own plans, but it seemed that they had stalled because of Qing Xiao's appearance."

Qingyun and Yan Siyuan looked at Lin Ruochu at the same time. She was still looking towards the woods, her hands clenched, and there was unhideable worry in her eyes.

"How do you know so clearly?" Qingyun looked at Yan Siyuan, not missing the slightest change in his expression.

Yan Siyuan hesitated and said, "Because I have my own intelligence network."

"That's what you told me? Aren't you afraid that I will spread your secret?" Qingyun bent down and approached Yan Siyuan with a smirk on her face.

Qingyun's station is two steps higher than Yan Siyuan's, so Qingyun is now taller than Yan Siyuan.

Yan Siyuan took the initiative to approach her and "spread the news as you please, as long as you are happy."

Qingyun straightened up. She felt that Yan Siyuan was too close to her. Meng Zirou accidentally saw Meng Zi looking this way and gave her a provocative expression. An angry Meng Zirou turned her head and stopped looking at them.

If someone doesn't come back, the dinner party won't start. We need to ensure that everyone comes back safely, so everyone can only wait. But there are always people who are impatient.

"How long do we have to wait? If they don't come back, won't we have a banquet?"

The speaker was Li Shumiao's mother, Wang Fang. She has not participated in autumn hunting in previous years, and this is her first time here.

Li Shumiao kept tugging on Wang Fang's clothes, "Mom, stop talking." She could feel the disdainful looks from other noble ladies.

"Oh, don't hold me back, why can't I say it? We can't keep us waiting just because of the two of them, right?"

Wang Fang pulled off her clothes and spoke loudly, and she could hear the dissatisfaction in her words.

"Since Mrs. Li can't wait any longer, why not go back first?" Bian Guanyue said coldly.

"I'm not going back. You can't even try to trick me into going back. I know there will be a banquet tonight."

"I can't wait and want to attend the banquet again. I wonder what Mrs. Li wants to do?" Bian Guanyue's eyes were cold.

"We can just start first. What are we waiting for them to do? Who knows if they are still alive."

"Mom! Stop talking!".

Li Shumiao tried to stop Wang Fang and was so anxious that she almost cried. She kept thinking about why Li Hangyu didn't come back.

Wang Fang was angry with Li Shumiao and slapped Li Shumiao on the face.

"You damn girl, why are you stopping me?".
