"'Star Bamboo' is an army, very powerful, but with the death of the first four princes, they disappeared together. Over the years, many people have been looking for it, including the father, but they have found nothing." Xiao Shengyun hugged Jiang Ling sit down.

Jiang Ling: "Is it the fourth prince who went crazy because of the accident of the prince and concubine?"

Xiao Shengyun: "Yes."

Jiang Ling: "'Star Bamboo' is his power?"

Xiao Shengyun: "It's not just 'Xingzhu', the former four princes are talented, and their subordinates are capable and ambitious, but with his death, the power under him has gradually disappeared."

Jiang Ling: "But 20 years have passed, no matter how elite the troops are..."

Human beings will age, and twenty variables are too big, but thinking about the army led by Lian Su in the original book, it seems that there is no need to worry about this problem.

"What I want is not this army, I have my own army, but I want to use this army to see if I can find other forces left by the fourth prince."

Jiang Ling understood.

"I just don't know if Lian Xu is lying," Xiao Chengyun thoughtfully, "He said that the military talisman was left by his father, and the identity of his father is also debatable."

"Being able to leave him a military talisman, I think it has something to do with 'Xing Zhu', maybe it's the general of 'Xing Zhu'."

Outsiders knew little about Lian Su's parents. Jiang Ling learned from the Ninth Prince and others that Lian Su was the son of the Lian family's patriarch's younger sister, but the Lian family kept his father's identity a secret.

"We'll know when the dark guard returns."

The disappearance of Lian Su did not have any impact. Jiang Ling observed the Lian family, and the Lian family really didn't care about this child at all.

The Ninth Prince asked privately once.

"What's the matter with Lian Su?"

"His Royal Highness sent him away."

"It's not an accident that he will appear there."

"Well, it was done by Lian's family. He was not on the entourage list. He was quietly brought here. Now that we send him away, they don't dare to say anything. Maybe they think that he has been dealt with according to their ideas."

There are many wild beasts on the mountain, if you leave people so ignorant in the deep mountains, the possibility of being eaten by wild beasts is very high.

That night, the second son of the Lian family who threw Lian Su up the mountain quietly sent someone to search the mountain, but they couldn't find anyone.

"Maybe it has already been eaten. No one will be alive or dead, so no one will suspect you of the young master." The boy said in a low voice.

"Is it all cleaned up?" the second son of the Lian family asked.

"Don't worry, my lord, we brought him here quietly. He doesn't have much presence in the mansion, and no one knows that he's here. Besides, the place we're looking for is rarely visited by people, so no one will go there."

They brought the person in a box, and only a few people knew about the whole process, and they didn't let the person out after they brought it. They just found a place and left the person.

Thanks to the Lian family who were ordered to investigate the safety of the mountains this time, there is a lot of room for maneuver.

"I really don't know why my father left this broom star at home. I've seen him displeased for a long time. Let's see how arrogant he is this time."

Lian su thought that it was the head of the Lian family who wanted him to die, but he didn't know that the head of the Lian family didn't know about this incident at all, it was planned by the second son of Lian.

Speeding up the horse, two days later, the dark guard came back with the jade talisman, but Lian Su was placed elsewhere and did not go up the mountain.

"Is this the thing?"

The jade talisman was the size of a palm, and there was a mysterious pattern engraved on it. Jiang Ling picked up the jade talisman and looked around, feeling familiar.

"Your Highness, do these lines look familiar to you?"

Xiao Shengyun observed carefully: "It seems to be somewhat similar to the pattern on the jade tablet that Master Qianwu left you."

The jade tablet was placed in the East Palace, and if you want to compare it, you can only wait until you go back.

"I heard from the prince that you were sick two days ago, are you feeling better recently?" The queen called Jiang Ling to her side and asked in a warm voice.

"It's all right, the queen mother doesn't have to worry."

Jiang Ling secretly glanced at the man beside her, Xiao Chengyun held his hand tightly: "The queen mother asked us to come this time, but I have something to say."

"There is something about your father. Did something happen the day you hunted the white tiger? All the guards who followed your father that day were secretly disposed of by your father." The queen knew about this incident by accident, and she was worried. This matter was related to the prince, so he called the young couple over.

"Did those guards do something wrong?" Jiang Ling asked.

Queen: "Should not be."

"That day, it was the white tiger that the father met first, and the servant heard the exclamation before rushing over."

There is no need for Xiao Shengyun to say more, the queen who has been married to Emperor Chongming for more than [-] years can roughly guess the reason.

"Your father is really getting more and more confused."

At the same time, I couldn't help but feel worried. Emperor Chongming was so small that he couldn't even tolerate a few guards. What about the prince who made a big splash because of this incident?

"My son will be careful." Seeing the worry in the queen's eyes, Xiao Shengyun said.

After returning, Jiang Ling pulled Xiao Chengyun to sit down: "The queen mother asked us to go to remind us that the emperor might be unfavorable to His Highness?"

"But why?" Jiang Ling was puzzled, "And those guards, why should they be dealt with if they did nothing wrong?"

"Maybe because he felt that those people saw his gaffe."

"Just because of this?"

The image of Emperor Chongming fell repeatedly in Jiang Ling's heart.

Xiao Shengyun patted his head: "Maybe he thinks that, as an emperor, he shouldn't be seen to lose his composure."

Jiang Ling couldn't understand this kind of behavior, so he bowed his head into the man's palm: "A good emperor, shouldn't he love his people like his son? He punished the guards at will because of his personal emotions, how innocent are those guards?"

The disappearance of several guards did not cause any splashes.

Early the next morning, Jiang Ling was dug out of the quilt by Xiao Shengyun.

"Your Highness, I still want to sleep for a while, what are you doing up so early?" Jiang Ling hugged the quilt and did not let go.

"We're going to act together today, Ling'er forgot?"

Jiang Ling stared and sat up, stretched out her arms to let Xiao Shengyun help him get dressed, and remembered that today they were going to hunt with Emperor Chongming.

After a simple breakfast, Jiang Ling and Xiao Shengyun headed for their destination.

Those who could be with Emperor Chongming were all his valued sons and ministers. Jiang Ling saw King Xuan and Jiang Xu among the crowd.

As if feeling his gaze, Jiang Xu turned his head and smiled at him.

He also saw Prince Dingyuan Hou, but not Zhan Lezhang.

Those present were all those who had entered the court and made some achievements in the court. Zhang Shimian and Zhan Lezhang had not entered the court for the time being and did not come over.

After today, the autumn hunt is coming to an end.

Jiang Ling rode her big maroon horse and walked beside Xiao Shengyun.

Today, the two wore riding uniforms of the same color, but one was light and the other was dark, so they matched very well when walking together.

With Emperor Chongming, when not with the Ninth Prince and others to relax, Jiang Ling didn't have much thought about hunting, and simply followed Xiao Shengyun's side, going where he went.Xiao Shengyun aimed at a deer, and Jiang Ling waited for him in place.

It's always been like this along the way. Occasionally Jiang Ling gets interested and moves a little bit. Most of the time, it's Xiao Shengyun who finds the prey, chases after it, brings the prey back after hunting, and the two continue to move forward.

Sitting on the horse's back bored, Jiang Ling heard a rustling sound in the grass, looked for the sound, and saw a big rabbit.

It was bigger than the ones he had hunted before, and it looked very fat.

Such a big rabbit can be eaten with His Highness after being roasted.

Thinking of Xiao Shengyun's craftsmanship, Jiang Ling couldn't help salivating.

He took out the arrow, put it on the bow, took aim, and was about to let go.

There was a sound not far away, and the rabbit was frightened and ran out of the grass.

How could there be any reason to let go of the rabbit that was delivered to your door?Jiang Ling tightened the reins: "Chi Xue, let's chase."

Chixue obediently drove people to catch up.

After chasing for a certain distance, Jiang Ling shot the rabbit, he walked too fast, the palace guards couldn't keep up, so he had to pick it up by himself.

"The princess is so inseparable from His Royal Highness, aren't you afraid that His Royal Highness will find you annoying?"

A slightly jealous voice sounded from behind, Jiang Ling picked up the hunted rabbit and turned her head.

A teenager wearing an indigo riding uniform stood not far away, looking at him unkindly.

The young man had a melon-shaped face with exquisite features. Jiang Ling searched through her memory, but couldn't find anything related to this person.

"This is a private matter between me and His Highness, so I won't bother you as an outsider." Jiang Ling had no impression of this person, and could feel the malice from this person, so her attitude was not very polite.

After speaking, he got on his horse, he was not interested in wasting time with a stranger.

"Wait," the young man finally waited for him to place the order, how could he give up and catch up, "You are already the crown princess, so you shouldn't know the general situation, and take care of the East Palace for His Highness, so that His Highness has no worries? If I were you, I would definitely not let His Highness worry about unnecessary things..."

After walking two steps, Jiang Ling saw Xiao Shengyun coming towards him on a horse, and the young man saw it too. He stopped talking, his expression became weak, and he looked at Xiao Shengyun with a hesitant expression.

It's a pity that Xiao Shengyun didn't even give him a look.

The prince only has his own princess in his eyes.

"I didn't see Ling'er after I came back. I heard from the palace people that Ling'er came chasing a rabbit?"

"Yeah, it's such a fat rabbit, it must be delicious after roasting it," Jiang Ling couldn't wait to share it with him, "Your Highness, I hunted that big rabbit. After I go back, Your Highness will roast the rabbit meat for me, okay?"

"it is good."

"I will give His Highness a big rabbit's leg when the time comes."

The closeness of the two, especially Xiao Shengyun's only tenderness towards Jiang Ling, made the young man very uncomfortable.

As if suddenly thinking that there was another person there, Jiang Ling changed the subject: "Your Highness, do you know him?"

Xiao Shengyun's gaze finally fell on the young man, and he moved away after only a moment: "I have no impression."

The boy bit his lower lip and was about to say something when Jiang Ling had already spoken.

"He said I couldn't do without His Highness, and His Highness would find me annoying, would His Highness?"

Unexpectedly, Jiang Ling would ask in person, the young man opened his eyes wide in doubt: "You..."

Jiang Ling tilted her head: "Didn't you ask this? Instead of asking me, wouldn't it be more straightforward to ask His Highness?"

The young man was speechless.

Xiao Shengyun's eyes fell on him again.

But this time it was completely different from what he had imagined.

The man's eyes were cold, looking at him as if he was looking at a dead object.

In an instant, the young man fell into an ice cellar, and he finally realized that the one standing in front of him was that ruthless and unreasonable prince. Before Jiang Ling appeared, no one could get him to treat him differently.

"It's not that the Crown Princess can't live without Gu, it's that Gu can't live without the Crown Princess."

He heard the prince's cool voice.

"It's the orphan who should be worried."
