The next day, Yan Yu heard that the emperor had neglected Concubine Jin.

Concubine Jin was still too young and had only been in the temporary palace. She had never seen the palace's complicated rules. After being favored by the emperor for a few days, she thought she had grasped the emperor's heart.

After the emperor ignored Concubine Jin, he became interested in hunting again and took the princes to hunt.

Xiao Chengji received the oral order early in the morning, and Xingwen was helping him change into travel clothes.

Yan Yu was worried: "Your Highness's injuries have not healed yet. Can he ride a horse? He probably can't draw a bow and arrow, right?"

Xiao Chengji rubbed Yan Yu's hair and said, "Don't worry, there's no problem riding a horse. I only follow the emperor and don't draw a bow and shoot arrows."

His injuries are mainly on his shoulders and back, and he is currently unable to pull a bow that is too hard.

Yan Yu said: "The Seventh Prince has ulterior motives, Your Highness should be careful of him and never be left alone."

"Xiao Qirui has ulterior motives, so Xiao Jiashan is a good person?" Xiao Chengji said, "I think this incident was most likely done by Xiao Jiashan."

Xiao Chengji was prejudiced against Xiao Jiashan. Even though Yan Yu laid out the evidence and told him that there was no movement from Xiao Jiashan's side in the past few days, but there were major personnel changes on Xiao Qirui's side, and Xiao Qirui himself was elusive, Xiao Chengji still believed that Xiao Jiashan was the culprit.

Yan Yu said casually: "Prince Rui doesn't have such ability. The Queen Mother and the Queen didn't come. What can he arrange alone?"

Xiao Chengji was unhappy: "In your heart, is Xiao Jiashan so good?"

Yan Yu was very angry with him: "Your Highness, you really want to argue with me?"

Xiao Chengji snorted coldly: "I know that Xiao Jiashan is a good person in your heart."

"..."

Yan Yu really didn't know how to tell him. She had already laid out the facts, but he still insisted on making trouble.

Considering that Xiao Chengji was injured, Yan Yu did not argue with him. He pretended that he knew nothing and came over to tidy up his clothes.

Xiao Chengji held her shoulders and said, "If you don't say anything, it means you admit it."

"No." Yan Yu said helplessly, "I told you about the Seventh Prince, but you insisted on bringing it up with Prince Rui."

Xiao Chengji raised his eyebrows: "Then you can say that I am 10,000 times better than Xiao Jiashan, and Xiao Jiashan is just a despicable villain."

Yan Yu had no way to deal with someone like Xiao Chengji who was always jealous.

"You are a thousand times better than Xiao Jiashan." Yan Yu pulled his collar, "Xiao Jiashan is a despicable villain, and you are a gentleman, okay?"

Xiao Chengji held Yan Yu's face and kissed her.

Yan Yu stood on tiptoe, put his arm around his shoulders, and looked up at him: "Then Your Highness must remember my words and stay away from the Seventh Prince."

Her eyes were moist and clear, and she looked innocent. Xiao Chengji lowered his head and kissed her twice more: "Okay."

Facts proved that Yan Yu was right. As soon as Xiao Chengji walked over, Xiao Qirui walked up to him with a smile: "Third brother."

Xiao Qirui used to get along well with Xiao Jiashan, but now Xiao Jiashan doesn't play with Xiao Qirui anymore. So Xiao Qirui gets closer to the ninth prince Xiao Taiqing on some occasions.

Laojiu is still a little young, and except for Xiao Qiru, no one else is willing to take Laojiu to play together.

Xiao Jingshuo has always been close to Xiao Chengji. He smiled and said, "When I came here just now, you ignored me, Old Seven, but now you come forward when you see Third Brother coming. What's going on?"

Xiao Qirui said: "Today I want to compete with my third brother to see who can catch more prey."

Xiao Jingshuo laughed and said, "You still want to compete with Third Brother? Old Seven, are you confused today?"

Xiao Qirui glanced at Xiao Chengji and asked, "Are you willing, Third Brother?"

Xiao Chengji said: "Not interested."

He was always aloof and didn't usually gossip with these people, so no one found it strange.

Xiao Qirui's eyes swept over Xiao Chengji's entire body.

He suspected that Xiao Chengji was injured. After all, with so many martial arts masters, it would be very difficult for Xiao Chengji to escape. It would be difficult for a normal person to come out alive.

But looking at Xiao Chengji's behavior and expression today, it's hard to tell what's wrong with him.

That day, Xiao Chengji ran away secretly with his princess, which was a big taboo.

Xiao Qirui bet that he would not tell the emperor that he was assassinated and injured.

For an ambitious man, getting emotional is a big taboo on the road to success.

Xiao Chengji was immersed in the love affair and was bewitched by his beautiful princess. He could no longer devote all his energy to the fight for the throne.

Xiao Qirui firmly believed that he could use Xiao Chengji's weakness to defeat him.

Xiao Jingshuo put his arm around Xiao Chengji's shoulder affectionately: "Third brother, do you know? A letter came to my house the day before yesterday, saying that I have a son and a daughter, and I have become a father. When the emperor heard about it, he was very happy."

Xiao Chengji was not interested in the affairs of his mansion. Xiao Jingshuo's princess was good in every way and had nothing to do with the Prince of Qin's mansion.

However, Xiao Jingshuo was a man who did everything without thinking too much. He put his arm on Xiao Chengji's shoulder and put half of his body weight on him. The wound on Xiao Chengji's shoulder suddenly hurt and almost split open.

He pushed Xiao Jingshuo away: "Stay away from me."

Xiao Jingshuo was still heartless - his third brother had always been like this anyway, as cold as an iceberg, not liking to talk to people, and even less liking any physical contact with people.

Xiao Qirui glanced over and saw Xiao Chengji unconsciously covering his left shoulder and his eyes narrowed.

At this time, the emperor also came over on horseback.

The emperor had a quarrel with Concubine Jin yesterday, but unexpectedly he brought Concubine Jin out today.

In fact, when Concubine Jin heard that the emperor was going hunting, she immediately had her red horse brought over, changed into a heroic riding outfit, and appeared in front of the emperor.

The styles of exotic beauties are different from those of beauties from the Central Plains. The emperor likes tall, bright, and unruly beauties. When he saw Concubine Jin's clothes, he instantly became interested and forgave her for what she did yesterday - it was not her fault that the foreign woman had never seen good things and was short-sighted.

Therefore, the emperor brought Concubine Jin with him on this hunting trip.

Concubine Jin looked bright and charming, and her riding clothes made her look particularly free and easy. Her every frown and smile was full of charm. With such a beauty by his side, the emperor felt that he had become many years younger.

Xiao Qirui stood to the left of Xiao Chengji, suddenly raised his hand and patted Xiao Chengji's shoulder heavily, lowered his voice and said: "Third brother, others say that Concubine Jin and Empress Xiaohui look similar, what do you think?"

Xiao Chengji's biological mother, Concubine Bo, was posthumously named Empress Xiaohui after her death.

In an instant, Xiao Chengji's face changed drastically and he pushed Xiao Qiru away.

Xiao Qirui had used a lot of strength in that slap just now, and the scab on the wound instantly split open, and blood seeped out.

Xiao Chengji was wearing dark clothes again today. As it was a little colder in the north, Yan Yu asked him to wear an extra layer inside. After being stained with blood, there was no sign of anything unusual.
