Su Xiaoxiao took out the dagger at her waist. “My father’s dagger fell off. Please give this to my father.”
Su Qi took the dagger and strode towards the entrance of the hunting ground.
“Uncle! ”
Su Cheng tightened the reins.
The others also habitually looked back.
Su Qi saw that person’s face clearly.
After handing the dagger to Su Cheng, he returned to his seat.
The Old Marquis and Qin Canglan were called over by Emperor Jing Xuan. Wei
Ting was not there either. He was there to supervise the marking of the papers. Su Yu said, “What’s wrong, Second Brother? You don’t look right.”
Su Qi clenched his fists and said with a serious expression, “The imperial guard beside Qin Jiang… was… the archer who hid in the forest that night!”
Su Yu was stunned. “You mean the expert who escaped from Big Brother?”
Su Qi nodded. “That’s right!”
Su Yu confirmed again, “The was the one who assassinated the Third Prince and Wei Ting?”
Su Qi said seriously, “It’s him! He covered his face that night, but I remember his figure and eyes… There’s a small scar on his right eyelid… I can’t be wrong!
Oh no, Uncle is in danger!”
Su Yu was a little confused. “Second Brother… I don’t understand..
Su Xiaoxiao explained patiently, “Wei Ting and Xiao Zhonghua were assassinated. The Eldest Prince arrived with the imperial guards and killed the last few survivors. At that time, the archer in the forest escaped. If that archer was also from the imperial guards, it proves that the Eldest Prince’s appearance that night was not a coincidence. The assassination was arranged by him!”
She and Wei Ting had long guessed this, but Su Yu did not think too deeply about it.
Su Qi nodded. “That’s right!”
Su Yu was still puzzled. “But what does this have to do with whether Uncle is in danger?”
Su Xiaoxiao said, “No matter who wins tonight, the Emperor intends to hand the military power to Xiao Zhonghua through marriage. How would the Eldest Prince be willing to let his younger brother obtain military power? He will definitely stop it.”
Su Yu seemed to understand a little. “How would he stop it?”
Su Xiaoxiao said calmly, “Kill them both.”
Su Yu’s face paled in shock. “What?!”
“This, this, this…” Su Yu lowered his voice and said, “Is he so bold? This is under His Majesty’s nose!”
His Majesty’s nose!”
Su Qi said coldly, “It’s because he’s right under our noses that no one will suspect him. Besides, if he’s not bold, how can he be the emperor?”
In this world, the timid would starve to death while the bold would die from overeating.
Su Qi and Su Xiaoxiao looked at Xiao Duye, who was chatting happily with Emperor Jing Xuan.
The siblings exchanged glances and stood up at the same time.
Su Yu asked, “What are you doing? Don’t tell me you’re going to report the Eldest Prince?”
Su Qi shook his head. “There’s no evidence. It’s useless even if we report it. At most, the Eldest Prince will stop the operation and blame us.”
Su Yu probed tentatively, “Then..
Su Qi said, “We have something to do and have to leave.”
Su Yu panicked. “Hey, Second Brother! Daya! You guys… bring me along!”
Su Xiaoxiao said to him, “Stay here and find a chance to tell Xiao Zhonghua.”
Su Yu asked softly, “Is he reliable? Will he help Qin Jiang and use the Eldest
Prince to kill Uncle?” Su Xiaoxiao paused. “He won’t.”
“Let’s go,” Su Qi said.
“Hey, hey, hey, you guys…” Su Yu wanted to shout, but he did not dare to be too loud. He could only watch as the two of them left.
The royal hunting ground was not in the palace. There were no impenetrable walls around it, but there was a natural barrier. It was not easy to sneak in.
“Although my martial arts aren’t as good as Big Brother’s, in terms of familiarity with the terrain, Big Brother isn’t as good as me.” Su Qi smiled.
He brought Su Xiaoxiao to the other side of the forest.
It was a seemingly calm lake.
“Wait for me here. I’ll sneak in from below.”
“No need.”
Su Xiaoxiao said.
“You know how to swim?” Su Qi asked.
“A little.” Su Xiaoxiao.
She said a little, but as soon as she got into the water, she left Su Qi far behind like a fish.
Su Qi remarked, “Your definition of a little bit is more than a little bit different from mine.”
After Su Cheng entered the forest, he immediately began to search for the white-tailed fox.
However, the forest was so big. Where could he find a little fox?
Wasn’t this deliberately torturing him?
“Has His Majesty always been like this?” He asked the imperial guard beside him.
The imperial guard did not reply.
“Do you think I can fool them if I find a similar one?”
The imperial guard still did not answer.
“If I search for ten days to half a month, will it still count after I go out?”
The imperial guard tightened his grip on the reins.
“If I can’t find it, that guy shouldn’t be able to find it either. If he finds it and I rob him, will it be mine?”
The imperial guard was about to lose control.
Su Cheng sighed. “You’re so young. Why are you mute?”
The imperial guard who was trying his best to control his rampage was speechless.
Su Cheng rode his horse in the forest for a while and unexpectedly bumped into Qin Jiang.
Su Cheng raised his eyebrows and said, “Yo, isn’t this the defeated opponent?”
Qin Jiang sneered. “Su Cheng, don’t be smug. The prey is mine. I’ll definitely win today!”
Su Cheng said, “Then I’ll follow you.”
Qin Jiang was stunned.
Su Cheng gave him a look that signaled him to leave quickly. “Go ahead and look. Why aren’t you looking anymore?”
“I’m still waiting to rob you!”
Qin Jiang gritted his teeth.
Su Cheng followed closely. If Qin Jiang went east, he would go east too. If Qin Jiang went west, he would go west too.
Finally, Qin Jiang couldn’t take it anymore. “Can you stop following me!”
Su Cheng asked, “Did they say that I’m not allowed to follow you?”
Qin Jiang was so angry that he fell backward. He was not leaving!
He dismounted and found a big tree to sit under.
Su Cheng also slowly sat down opposite him.
It was lunchtime.
Qin Jiang had never thought of eating in the forest. He only brought a water bag.
Su Cheng was different.
His daughter had prepared lunch for him!
Su Cheng untied his bag from the saddle and took out the food box. After opening it, he revealed a glossy braised chicken drumstick, two yellow and orange minced pork buns, two pieces of dried meat sprinkled with sesame seeds, and four oily and fragrant wife biscuits.
He even drank fruit wine!
Su Cheng ate heartily.
Qin Jiang swallowed hard.
Was he here to hunt or to have a picnic?!
Qin Jiang wasn’t hungry at first, but Su Cheng was eating too happily, making him hungry.
Su Cheng picked up a wife cake. “Do you want to eat it?”
Qin Jiang gulped. “I…”
Su Cheng: “Even if you want it, I won’t give it to you!”
Qin Jiang was dumbfounded.
After eating and drinking his fill, Su Cheng asked Qjn Jiang, “Aren’t you leaving?
Qin Jiang said angrily, “If you want to leave, go by yourself.”
Su Cheng: “Then I won’t leave either.”
Qin Jiang was speechless and frowned coldly.
He actually had a way to chase after that white-tailed fox, but he had to shake off Su Cheng.
However, Su Cheng was like a plaster…
Qin Jiang had a headache!
“What are you looking at?” Su Cheng asked impatiently.
Qin Jiang was about to say that he wasn’t looking at him when he looked up and realized that Su Cheng wasn’t talking to him.
Su Cheng was staring at the imperial guard beside him..
