Xiao Huan glared at the chief eunuch, what an eyesore.

"What are you still standing there for? Hand him over to the steward."

He ordered coldly, his anger barely concealed.

"Yes." How could the servant holding Xiao Yue dare to disobey? He responded tremblingly and quickly handed the person to the eunuch chief.

"eleven."

When the steward retreated behind Xiao Zhan holding the child, Sun Xiurong immediately stepped forward and looked at Xiao Yue with concern.

Sun Xiurong was Xiao Yue's biological mother and also a concubine in the harem. When she saw her coming, the steward quickly handed the child to her, as a way of giving Sun Xiurong face.

"Thank you, butler." Sun Xiurong took the child and thanked the butler gratefully.

"Okay, it's getting late. I have to take Eleven to report to father. As for Seventh Brother's cooperation, I will report to father." As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Zhan had a meaningful smile on his face. He took Jiang Xue's hand and led everyone out of Xiao Huan's tent.

"hateful."

As soon as Xiao Zhan walked out of the tent, he heard an angry curse behind him, followed by the sound of ping-pong.

Judging from the noise, something must have been smashed to the ground.

"It seems that His Royal Highness Prince Huan is very angry."

Jiang Xue smiled slightly.

"I just want to piss him off." Xiao Zhan's tone contained a hint of pride.

This kid is usually very reserved and rarely loses his temper, but today I made him mad and explode in public, which is something to be proud of.

"Today, thanks to fourth brother for his help."

When Xiao Zhan returned from Emperor Beiling's tent, Xiao Jin immediately stepped forward and bowed to express his gratitude.

Xiao Jin was a proud and arrogant man. Since he was old enough to understand, no one had ever been able to make him express his gratitude so sincerely.

And today, Xiao Zhan is the first one.

"Tenth brother, there is no need for us to be so polite. It is natural for brothers to help each other."

Xiao Zhan helped him up and said with a smile.

"I have used golden needles to force out the remaining tranquilizing powder in the Eleventh Princess' body. Fortunately, the dosage was not large, and it only made her sleep a little more deeply, but her brain was not affected. The Tenth Prince and Empress Xiurong can rest assured."

Jiang Xue put away the golden needle, wiped the sweat from her forehead, stood up and carried the Eleventh Princess to the arms of Sun Xiurong who was waiting on the side.

"Wen Yuan will always remember the kindness of the fourth sister-in-law."

Xiao Jin bowed deeply to Jiang Xue again, his gratitude evident in his words.

"Jingxian will never forget the kindness that Princess Gong gave to Eleven. If the princess needs anything in the future, our Sun family will definitely do our best to help her."

This was the second time Jiang Xue saved Xiao Yue. The smallpox two years ago and this time, Sun Xiurong remembered these two life-saving graces in her heart. She solemnly made a promise to Jiang Xue.

"You're welcome, Madam Xiurong. Eleven is pure and smart. I like her from the bottom of my heart and I don't want her to get hurt. She was able to escape danger twice, which shows that she is very lucky. I just played a supporting role."

Jiang Xue held Sun Xiurong's elbow, helped her stand up, and helped her sit on a chair nearby.

"After resting for a while, we will continue on our journey. We expect to arrive at the hunting ground tonight. I have already told my father about Eleven's situation. I have asked him to approve that Empress Xiurong, you and your son, can ride in the same car with my husband and me. My medical skills are pretty good, so it's always good to have someone to take care of you." Xiao Zhan said.

"Really?" Xiao Jin was a little surprised and very satisfied with this arrangement.

Originally, due to the limited number of carriages, Sun Xiurong and the children had to squeeze into one carriage with Wu Meifeng.

But Wu Meifeng had too many little thoughts, and the mother and her two children didn't want to go with her at all. Xiao Jin had previously asked the Emperor of Beiling to let the mother and her two children ride in a separate car, but was rejected on the spot by Xiao Yan.

Xiao Zhan's proposal just happened to meet the wishes of Xiao Jin and the other two.

"Of course it's true." Xiao Zhan touched his head and said.

Thinking of the awkward expression on Emperor Beiling's face when he made this request just now, Xiao Zhan couldn't help but find it a little funny.

He knew that Emperor Beiling was worried that he would take this opportunity to win over Sun Xiurong and thus gain the recommendation of General Sun.

Sorry, Xiao Yan guessed correctly. He did have this plan.

General Sun was an old senior of Beiling, highly respected and held an important position in the court of the Northern Song Dynasty.

This recommendation is as heavy as Mount Tai.

Once someone's name appears on his memorial, the candidate for the next Grand Marshal will basically be decided.

He knew that General Sun loved Sun Xiurong, so he helped Sun Xiurong many times in order to win General Sun's favor.

"Your Highness, I will always remember your care." Xiao Zhan had helped many times, and Sun Xiurong had kept it in mind all these years.

As a concubine, she had lived in the deep palace for so long, so she naturally understood that Xiao Zhan must have some ulterior motive for helping her.

After all, there is no free lunch in the world.

The palace is like the sea. To gain a foothold in Yujing City, a cannibalistic place, exchanging interests is the law of survival in Yujing City. She has a clear mind about this.

Having something in mind actually made Sun Xiurong feel at ease, and the peace gained at a price made him feel at ease.

"I will write a letter today and send it to the Grand Marshal's Mansion, telling my father in detail what happened today."

General Sun is old and has difficulty moving, so he did not participate in this hunting trip. He stayed in the General's Mansion in Yujing to recuperate, which gave him a good opportunity to carefully consider the candidate for the next General.

The significance of this letter from Sun Xiurong is self-evident.

"I am here, thank you Queen Xiurong." Xiao Zhan knew what Sun Xiurong meant.

He was full of gratitude and bowed deeply to Sun Xiurong to express his thanks.

Jiang Xue sat aside, watching the two interact and smiled slightly.

Each party gets what they need and forms an alliance. Today, Sun Xiurong has established an alliance with their Prince Gong Mansion.

From now on, they will have a powerful ally in Yujing City.

As the sun sets, the huge team finally arrives at the hunting ground.

Under the arrangement of Xiao Zhan and Xiao Yun, everyone was arranged into their respective rooms.

I thought that after a day of running around, I could at least have a night's rest and get enough energy for the next day's hunting.

Who knew that after dinner, Emperor Beiling summoned everyone to the yard.

"What's the point of this?"

"I don't know."

While waiting for Emperor Beiling to show up, discussions were heard all around.

"Fourth brother, can you guess what the emperor is up to?"

Xiao Yun put his hands in his sleeves, nudged Xiao Zhan lightly with his elbow, leaned slightly towards him, and asked quietly.

"Let's not guess what His Majesty is thinking." Xiao Zhan reminded softly, glancing at the palace maids and eunuchs standing beside him and giving Xiao Yun a wink.

Be careful in what you say and do. These four words must be kept in mind even if you are not in the palace.

Otherwise, if you are not careful, someone might catch you and the consequences will be disastrous.

"Wow, there are so many people! Sister Changle, it's so lively."

Xiao Yue woke up on the way, regained her usual liveliness, and jumped around holding Jiang Xue's hand.

The child was born to love crowds. It was a rare sight to see so many people gathered together in the palace, and he was extremely excited.
