Suddenly, a wild boar jumped out in front of us. The horse, which was running wildly, was frightened and went crazy, running around recklessly.

Qin Ruhuan held the reins tightly, not daring to let go. At this moment, she had been shaken and fell off the horse's back. With her feet stuck in the stirrups, her whole body was hanging on the side of the horse.

Seeing this, Xiao Jingxuan jumped onto her horse without hesitation, picked her up from the side, and tightened the reins hard, and the horse slowly stopped.

He helped Qin Ruhuan off the horse and carried her under a big tree.

"Ruhuan, are you hurt? Is it serious?"

Qin Ruhuan's face was pale at this time. Even though she had experienced life and death before, she was still frightened by the sudden startle of the horse.

She didn't even have time to use her Qinggong skills to leap down. It felt like everything happened in a flash and she couldn't do anything. If it weren't for Xiao Jingxuan, the consequences would have been disastrous.

Looking at the concerned look on the man's face, her anger subsided a lot. She suddenly felt that she had scolded him a little harshly in her heart just now. In fact, except for always liking to "bully her", he did everything else perfectly.

Xiao Jingxuan listened silently to her inner self-examination, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Can you still walk? If not, I'll carry you back!"

Qin Ruhuan shook her head, "Ride a horse!"

"Alright! You can ride mine!"

So the two exchanged horses and continued to run towards the camp.

At a fork in the road not far from the camp, we met Huo Wenjun and others, the brothers of the Huo family.

"Cousin Ruhuan! You are here too!" The eldest cousin greeted Qin Ruhuan warmly.

Huo Wenying and Huo Wenwu also dismounted, "Ruhuan, hunting is so dangerous! Why don't you rest in the camp?"

Seeing the three brothers surrounding Qin Ruhuan and asking about her well-being, Xiao Jingxuan felt unhappy as if he was being ignored.

He coughed lightly.

The brothers then turned around and saw the person behind Qin Ruhuan.

"Prince Jing, why are you with Ruhuan?" Huo Wenying asked.

Xiao Jingxuan raised his head and chuckled, as if claiming his sovereignty, "We are traveling together, is there any problem?"

The Huo brothers always felt something was wrong when they heard this! Are Ruhuan and King Jing very familiar with each other?

With questions in mind, they rushed back to the camp.

When we returned to the camp, many people had already returned and their prey was hung in front of their tents.

Qin Ruhuan also saw an old acquaintance - Princess Xiao Ya!

It's true that when enemies meet, they become particularly jealous of each other. When Qin Ruhuan saw her, her eyes suddenly became fierce.

But in the eyes of Princess Xiao Ya, they didn't know each other yet.

But when she saw Xiao Jingxuan and Qin Ruhuan coming back together, her eyes seemed to be filled with poison.

"Brother Jingxuan! You're back! I've been waiting for you for a long time!" Xiao Ya trotted to Xiao Jingxuan.

She reached out to pull Xiao Jingxuan's sleeve, "Cousin Jingxuan, you must be exhausted. Yaer has prepared hot tea for you!"

Xiao Jingxuan frowned slightly, brushed Xiao Ya's hand away, and shook his sleeves in disgust.

"No, I don't want to drink!"

After saying that, he walked past him without looking back and ran straight to his tent.

The three Huo brothers were watching the excitement with their eyes wide open. What was going on? A love triangle? That was quite interesting!

Qin Ruhuan turned around and said to her cousins, "Cousins, Ruhuan is going back to rest first!"

After saying that, he walked over without even looking at Xiao Ya.

Princess Xiao Ya was so angry that she was fuming. "You... stop right there!"

Qin Ruhuan stopped and didn't look back. "Princess, do you want to talk to me about something?"

Xiao Ya came over angrily, "You know I'm a princess, but you still dare to snatch my cousin from me! I think you are tired of living!"

Qin Ruhuan really didn't want to pay attention to her. She had been riding a horse for an entire afternoon and wanted to go back and rest, but this girl insisted on making a fuss.

"Compete with you? I think your cousin seems to ignore you!" Qin Ruhuan sneered.

Xiao Ya was already annoyed because Xiao Jingxuan ignored her, and when she saw that he dared to mock her, she became even more angry and raised her hand to slap him!

The slap did not come down, but was stopped by Huo Wenjun.

Xiao Ya looked up and saw a handsome young man in green. Her tone softened immediately. "Why did you stop me? I am the princess. She is disrespectful to me. Beating her is the least of my worries!"

Huo Wenjun grabbed her wrist and gently let her go. "My princess, are you bullying me because I have no one in the Huo family? You actually beat our sister for no reason in front of the three of us brothers!"

It turned out to be the Huo brothers. All three of them looked so good, yet each of them was different.

Xiao Ya was a bit of a fangirl. She just couldn't get angry with a good-looking man. "Forget it! For the sake of the young master, I won't bother with her this time! I won't let her off easily next time!"

The Huo brothers looked at her expressionlessly, as if they were looking at a dying person.

We in the Huo family only have this one sister, and you still want to bully her? You’re dreaming! We can’t spoil her enough!

However, Xiao Ya was still flirting with us without knowing what was good for us. She even flirted with us before leaving, which almost made us vomit!

After Xiao Jingxuan returned to the tent, Fei Ye reported to him the interrogation of the man in black.

Several of them kept their mouths shut and did not utter a word even under torture. This matter was a bit tricky!

After resting for a while, he went to report the matter to the emperor. After all, assassinating royal relatives was a serious crime.

Emperor Wen Xiao Jingyu was also furious after hearing this. Someone actually dared to assassinate the prince in the royal hunting ground. How bold!

"Someone! Send a team of guards to investigate the situation in the forest!"

"We must interrogate the people we caught and find out the result!"

Emperor Wen looked at Xiao Jingxuan distressedly, "Jingxuan, are you injured? Are you feeling well?"

"Brother, I am not injured. I just happened to meet the left prime minister's Qian Jin Gang. She got some scratches and got frightened in order to save me! This time, thanks to her, I was able to stay safe and capture the bandit alive!"

Emperor Wen was shocked. "The daughter of the left prime minister? The legitimate daughter?"

Xiao Jingxuan nodded, "Yes, her name is Qin Ruhuan!"

Emperor Wen's eyes were full of praise. "Ruhuan? She knows martial arts? I don't think I've ever heard of that. I have seen the two little daughters of the left prime minister, but the legitimate daughter rarely attends palace banquets!"

Emperor Wen always felt that something was wrong. Why did Jingxuan seem to be very familiar with the daughter of the left prime minister? He stared at Xiao Jingxuan, as if trying to see something from his eyes, but there was nothing but a cold feeling!

"Well, it's true that a good father will have a good son! Your father is a pillar of our Great Sheng, and your daughter is as capable as any man! I will reward you handsomely!"

"Come here! Reward Qin Ruhua, the daughter of the Left Prime Minister, with 100 taels of gold, a jade ruyi, a set of jade and pearl head ornaments, ten rolls of Jiangnan silk, and a pair of jade bracelets! Give her a waist badge so that she can enter the palace at will!"

Xiao Jingxuan was a little stunned. He just mentioned it casually, but he didn't expect that his brother was so generous!

That woman should be happy to see the reward! After all, these things combined are enough for an ordinary person to spend for several lifetimes!

However, this would make her the center of attention, contrary to her low-key attitude. Would she be unhappy?
