When I brought out a plate of spicy rabbit dices, Chi Wanshen put away his smile and looked... heavy.

I said: "Prince Regent, please taste it."

Chi Wanshen declined: "No, I'm not hungry."

The expression of resistance on his face was even greater. I took a sip in confusion. It was not bad. It was spicy and flavourful, with moderate spiciness and compact texture. It was simply top quality.

Chi Wanshen returned to his previous expression and said, "I have other important matters, so I'll say goodbye here."

I saw his hurried back, and the doubts in my mind became even worse. I thought that what I made should be okay.

I called two cooks to taste it and they both said it was delicious.

That's all, Chi Wanshen didn't have a good taste, so I had to finish it by myself.

I bring a bowl of rice with dipping sauces, and Kuku is a dry meal. It was already dusk when I finished eating, and night was approaching. Many people had come back one after another, either with prey in pairs or two, or returning empty-handed...

Is winter hunting so bleak today? I didn’t see many people returning home with a full load.

I came out with the rice and took a look, and I caught sight of the princess. She was walking towards me, with an indignant expression on her face.

I said: "The princess is well. Why does the princess seem to be in a bad mood today?"

Princess: "My princess is very good, you're fine!"

I took two bites of rice, and the princess looked at me and asked, "Where did you get the rabbit meat?"

I paused for a while and then said: "The regent of Beiyin hunts those with humble positions. There is half of one left in the kitchen. Does the princess want to eat it?"

The princess looked surprised: "All the prey in the surrounding woods have been hunted by the Holy Emperor and Qin Che. How did the regent hunt this rabbit?"

I choked, as if the rabbit suddenly appeared in front of him, and then he killed the rabbit with an arrow... It was a bit incredible to think about it. How could such a big rabbit come from the heavy snow?

The princess ignored my silence and continued: "That fellow Qin Che really has a grudge against me! He snatched the prey in front of my eyes with one arrow! There is no respect for etiquette, justice, integrity, or first-come, first-served!" When he is sleeping soundly tonight, let’s see if this princess doesn’t take away his prey and make him so miserable today.”

Me: "..." The princess is really planning her plans openly.

The guards came to report that Ling Hengyuan and Qin Che had returned and asked us to pass.

Princess: "They must have returned with a full load and came to show off to us. I would like to go and see what rare things they hunted."

Arriving in front of Ling Hengyuan's tent, I saw a crowd of people from afar, and many courtiers praised me: "Your Majesty is really a dragon and a phoenix among men!"

"The general is also wise and mighty!"

I walked over and saw a wild boar in a cage. It was still alive and kicking, and kept hitting the cage as if it was not convinced.

Ling Hengyuan frowned and said, "I'll bake it today."

As soon as he finished speaking, servants carried the pig away.

Qin Che saw us and said in surprise: "Aji is here?"

The eyes of the people around me instantly looked at me, and I said: "..."

This is the first time Qin Che calls my name like this in front of everyone.

Qin Che slipped me out of the crowd and led me to a cage. Inside was a snow fox.

All white, he was lying obediently in the cage, looking at us only with a pair of fox eyes.

Qin Che: "Ah Ji, am I powerful? I was caught by you."

Ling Hengyuan sneered: "It's just a fox, what's so good about it?"

Qin Che ignored Ling Hengyuan and leaned over with an aggrieved look on his face, saying, "I accidentally injured my arm while hunting today. I wonder if I can apply some medicine for me?"

I said: "Injured? Where? Don't delay, you have to treat the wound first."

I was about to take Qin Che to deal with it, but Ling Hengyuan looked in disbelief: "How small is your wound? It has been scarred for so long, right?"

I bowed and said, "Seeing that the general is feeling uncomfortable, I'm afraid it might hurt him internally. I will take the general back to deal with it now. Your Majesty, please leave first."

Before Ling Hengyuan could react, I took Qin Che and left.

How could I not know what Qin Che was thinking? Such a small wound was simply not enough for Qin Che who was on the battlefield. I just wanted them to stop making noise in one place.

When he returned to Qin Che's tent, the furnishings here looked very familiar, probably not much different from the furnishings he had in the military camp before. I treated the wound that was scratched by something unknown for him, sprinkled the powder on it, and bandaged it with gauze. I saw Qin Che looking at me all the time.

I looked away from him and said, "I haven't done anything right all day long."

Qin Che said with a smile: "Aji is so good-looking, why don't you allow me to see more?"

Me: "Stop doing this."

Qin Che: "Ji smells like meat. Did he eat delicious food behind my back?"

I said: "The regent hunted a rabbit and rewarded me with it. I made spicy rabbit dices, and now there is half of it left in the kitchen."

Qin Che put away his playful smile: "Prince Regent... no wonder I didn't see him today. It turns out he was with you. Why did he find you if he wasn't with the eldest princess?"

I said, "What about the eldest princess? I didn't see her just now."

Qin Che snorted coldly: "This eldest princess followed your majesty all the way and didn't say a word. Your majesty saw that she was annoying, so he said a few words to her, and she left angrily. I think she should be back now. But the big princess The princess's archery and riding skills are indeed outstanding, and she should have hunted a lot of prey."

As Qin Che talked, he felt something was wrong: "Ji just said that the regent hunted a rabbit for you?"

I nodded: "Yes."

Qin Che: "But Your Majesty and I have already caught all the prey on our journey. There shouldn't be any fish that slip through the net."

My heart skipped a beat: "Could it be a mistake?"

Qin Che: "Impossible. I have long wanted to hunt a rabbit for Aji, but I didn't see one along the way. Rabbits are timid by nature. I'm afraid they won't be able to hide from such a large camp today. The regent hunted That one must not have appeared on the road we passed. Ah Ji, do you still remember which direction you went today?"

I thought seriously: "First the south, then...the southeast."

Qin Che: "But today we are going to the southwest."

I thought about it carefully: "He, he took me to the southeast, why?"

Qin Che: "I don't know, I'm afraid the intention is not simple. Ah Jimo wants to be alone with him these days."

I froze in place, replaying today's events in my mind. I thought that Chi Wanshen and I didn't bring any attendants, that he was the one leading the way, and that the smile didn't reach my eyes...

I was very excited, thinking that after I experienced "poisoning" and "horse loss", I was very worried about my life. The person behind the scenes has not been found out yet, so it is better not to be alone with a person who is hiding behind the scenes. .

I don’t know when Ling Hengyuan will be able to find out, and there is no news about the exotic antidote.
