She is a heartthrob who wants to live a good life

Chapter 61: The Scheming Princess 18

Xiao Chongyu, dressed in rust-red tights, rode his horse through the forest. He saw a white shadow in the distance. He narrowed his eyes and skillfully bent his bow and drew his arrow.

Soon, Ji Ming came over carrying a white fox cub: "Your Highness."

The arrow that Xiao Chongyu had just shot hit the young fox's hind leg. At this moment, the fox was trembling in Ji Ming's hands, squeaking weakly.

Xiao Chongyu took a look and confirmed that the fox had no vital injuries, then he said, "Take it back and apply medicine to it. I will give it to Cang Cang as a gift."

"Yes."

Yesterday, he heard Cang Cang pestering Xiao Chongling to hunt a white fox for him. Xiao Chongyu thought with contempt in his heart that Xiao Chongling's archery skills were not as good as his.

Ji Ming handed the fox to the guard who followed him. When he turned around, he heard Xiao Chongyu ask him, "Which forest did Xiao Chongling go to today?"

"Yes, you mentioned yesterday that you saw a fox in that area, and King Jing went there today."

Xiao Chongyu was in a good mood thinking about what was about to happen. Hearing the sound of a deer calling deep in the forest, he waved his hand to let Ji Ming and several secret guards retreat: "I will go by myself, don't follow me, so as not to scare the prey."

On the other side, Xiao Chongling and Shen Weicang were riding together, both of them were looking for the white fox seriously.

"Brother Prince Jing, did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince lie to you? We have been here for so long, and we haven't even seen a pheasant, let alone a fox."

Shen Weicang had a short patience. After an hour, the two of them gained nothing and she wanted to leave.

Xiao Chongling sensed her impatience and thought that Xiao Chongyu might have gone to the wrong place. He was about to take Shen Weicang back, but the horses they were riding began to move restlessly.

Xiao Chongling subconsciously felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly pulled the reins to try to turn the horse's head, but it was too late. The slightly low bushes in front shook a few times, and a huge black bear came out.

What frightened Xiao Chongling was that behind this bear, there was another bear that was even bigger.

Xiao Chongling's first reaction was to reach out and cover Shen Weicang's eyes.

"Brother Jing Wang, what are you doing? Why are you covering my eyes?"

Shen Weicang lowered his head just now and did not see the black bear coming out. He thought Xiao Chongling was playing with him.

Xiao Chongling whispered, "Cang Cang, there is a bear in this forest. Don't panic. Brother Jing Wang will take you away right away."

Bear?

Shen Weicang's body suddenly stiffened.

It's easy to guess who did it.

She held Xiao Chongling's hand tightly and moved it away, and was immediately frightened by the two bears.

Xiao Chongyu was too cruel. One was not enough, so he released two black bears. Was he going to kill Xiao Chongling directly in this forest?

Xiao Chongling controlled the horse to retreat slowly, but today he was worried that Shen Weicang would be shaken, so he deliberately chose the horse with the most docile temperament.

Although it had a gentle temperament, it was also very timid, and both men noticed that the horse's legs were shaking violently.

Seeing the two black bears tentatively take a few steps forward, the frightened horses turned around and ran away.

Xiao Chongling cried out inwardly that something was wrong and flew off the horse while holding Shen Weicang in his arms. One of the bears ran towards the fleeing horse.

As soon as Shen Weicang's feet touched the ground, he heard the horse's scream and trembled in Xiao Chongling's arms.

"It happened!"

The secret guards following Shen Weicang suddenly became anxious, and one of them said, "Go and report to His Highness immediately, the princess is in danger!"

At this moment, they didn't care whether they would be exposed in front of Xiao Chongling. If they didn't show up, if the princess was really injured, His Highness would definitely tear them apart alive!

Xiao Chongling brought Shen Weicang to this forest to hunt a white fox for her. He did not bring any weapons such as swords, only a bow and crossbow.

But in front of a black bear, I'm afraid bows and arrows won't be of much use.

He was ready for hand-to-hand combat, but he was surprised to see several figures falling beside him.

Shen Weicang recognized that this was the secret guard assigned to him by Xiao Chongyu, and he felt relieved.

The fact that these secret guards would show up now to protect him at least showed that Xiao Chongyu had no intention of hurting him.

"Who are you?"

Xiao Chongling narrowed his eyes and looked at the secret guard vigilantly. He had already realized that something was wrong with what happened today.

"I am a subordinate of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

The more you talk, the more mistakes you make. The less you talk, the fewer mistakes you make. After the secret guard finished his brief introduction, he said, "Your Highness and the Princess, please leave quickly. We will take care of this place."

Hearing them say that they were Xiao Chongyu's men, Xiao Chongling did not feel relieved and still held Shen Weicang's hand tightly.

While staring at the black bear, he was also wary of the movements of these people and was unwilling to expose his back to them.

Since the black bear had a horse as its prey, it shouldn't be so hostile to the two people. It's probably because someone had done something to him.

The black bear finally couldn't help it and pounced on them.

Xiao Chongling pulled Shen Weicang behind him and was about to shoot an arrow at the bear's eyes, but the secret guards rushed out desperately to block them.

"Your Highness, please take the princess away from here!"

Xiao Chongling confirmed that they had no ill will towards him, then he hugged Shen Weicang and used his Qinggong skills to leave the forest as quickly as possible.

But he did not dare to take it lightly. He sent Shen Weicang back to the tent of Qingyang Palace, told her to have a good rest and not to go out, then turned around and left.

Liuguang and Yicai handed Shen Weicang a wet towel to wipe her face, while the other poured her a cup of tea: "Princess, calm down."

Xiao Chongyu hunted a deer and just rode out of the woods when he saw Ji Ming's ugly face.

He asked casually, "Is it possible that you can't even handle such a small matter?"

Ji Ming knelt down hurriedly: "Your Highness, the princess did not stay in the camp today, but went to the forest with King Jing. The secret guard just sent a message saying that King Jing was injured!"

"what?"

Xiao Chongyu realized that something was wrong and asked sternly, "How is the princess?"

"The princess is unharmed," Ji Ming reported with his head down, "Prince Jing sent the princess back and then returned alone, so he only suffered minor injuries."

Xiao Chongyu clenched his fists. It was a pity that such a good opportunity wasted and it didn't even make him a cripple.

At this time, Lu Ning also hurried over and said, "Your Highness, Prince Jing was attacked, and the Emperor is looking for you."

Xiao Chongyu sneered: "Let's go and see how badly my good brother is injured."

"My son, I have met my father, the emperor, and my mother, the queen."

Xiao Chongyu ignored the emperor's inquiring and suspicious look and saluted without changing his expression.

Queen Jiang was sitting beside Xiao Chongling's couch and crying. The emperor had not spoken for a long time, so Xiao Chongyu remained kneeling on one knee.

Xiao Chongling moved slightly on the couch and wanted to sit up: "Yu'er is here."

Queen Jiang quickly held him down: "Don't move."

The emperor then looked away and told Xiao Chongyu to stand up in a calm tone.

Xiao Chongling insisted on sitting up, so Queen Jiang had to have someone support him from behind.

"Thanks to my brother's guards, my son and I were lucky enough to escape danger today."

Xiao Chongling looked a little pale, but his expression was very gentle.

"Really? Why are your guards following Ling'er?"
