Thinking of this, Lin Tingwan couldn't help feeling a little flustered.

When the assassins take action, it's either you or I die. If Pei Jinan wasn't there today, she really didn't know what would happen.

She said in a somewhat depressed tone, "I was wrong just now. If I hadn't insisted on chasing after the white fox, this wouldn't have happened today."

Pei Jinan waved his hand nonchalantly and said, "What are you talking about? You didn't know about these assassins in advance, how can I blame you?"

But the more he said this, the more Lin Tingwan blamed herself. She lowered her head and nodded with a depressed mood.

Pei Jinan smiled and walked over to touch her head, "Okay Yangyang, I've told you it's okay, you don't have to take it to heart."

"I won't do that again in the future." Lin Tingwan said apologetically.

Pei Jinan was stunned. In fact, he could see that Lin Tingwan was a very arrogant person, but he never thought that she was also a person who would correct her mistakes.

"it is good--"

"Should we tell people to bring back their bodies?"

Having said that, both of them knew in their hearts that when the assassins went out to complete the mission, they would not carry anything with them, nor would they do anything to prove their identity.

They committed suicide by taking poison, and even if their bodies were left behind, only the clothes they wore were left behind, nothing else.

Pei Jinan half-knelt down, his eyes rolling, and said with a leisurely smile, "Don't worry, Yangyang, I will let others handle this matter. It's still early now, why don't we continue hunting?"

Lin Tingwan was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay."

Although she was no longer a simple girl, she knew Pei Jinan's good intentions. He was just afraid that she would be scared staying here.

If Lin Tingwan refuses such kindness, it would be too ungrateful.

Pei Jinan acted as if nothing had happened, but Lin Tingwan always felt there was something wrong in his heart.

After they shot a few more rabbits in the forest, they rode away on horseback.

In the camp, Fang Yule had returned, but the basket behind her was empty.

Compared to her, Lin Tingwan's basket was full of prey, and Pei Jinan, who was following beside him, seemed a little inferior.

His Majesty looked at the courtiers who were sitting next to him and laughing, and said, "Miss Lin is indeed General Lin's daughter. She is like a father like a daughter. She is even better than our brave and warlike King Zhenbei."

Pei Jinan did not seem annoyed when he heard this. Instead, he smiled at His Majesty and said, "Miss Lin is an excellent archer. Today, she really opened my eyes."

The two of them looked so natural, but it was a pity for the court officials below them, as they were not at peace in their hearts.

The affair between Miss Lin, Prince Zhenbei, and the Crown Prince was known to everyone in the court.

No one dared to say anything more, and immediately followed His Majesty's words and began to flatter Lin Tingwan.

Soon, the queen came out with a gentle smile on her face. Everyone stood up and said, "Your Highness, I pay my respects to you, Her Majesty."

"Everyone stand up——"

"Thank you, Queen—"

The Queen was also surprised when she saw the basket behind Lin Tingwan, "Ms. Lin is so amazing. I think the rabbit fur is very good."

"If your majesty likes it, I will offer you the flowers. What do you think?"

The Queen nodded happily upon hearing this and said, "In that case, I would like to thank Miss Lin."

As she waved her hand, the nanny who followed her came forward and took the basket away, and also picked up a new basket and placed it behind Lin Tingwan.

Lin Tingwan was originally standing with Fang Yule, so it seemed that they were the same.

Lin Tingwan smiled faintly and said nothing. She was a smart person, and she understood what the Queen meant now. It was nothing more than supporting Fang Yule.

But the queen's move was probably unnecessary, after all, everyone present had seen how much she had hunted.

So what if you have support? There are many things that cannot be changed.

Pei Jinan gently patted Lin Tingwan's hands from behind as a way of comforting her.

After finishing everything, the Queen turned around and looked at His Majesty as if nothing had happened and asked, "Why hasn't Yan Li come back yet?"

Eunuch Sun stepped forward and said, "The attendant just informed us that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will be back soon."

The queen seemed to have just seen Fang Yule. She covered her lips and smiled, "Did Yan Li ask you to come back first? Really, why are you so playful?"

This also gave Fang Yule a way out, and she left with Pei Yanli in full view of everyone.

Now Pei Yanli hasn't come back yet but she has returned first. It's just not right.

Prime Minister Fang was sitting not far away, and the look he gave Fang Yule was not exactly kind, so much so that the latter couldn't help but tremble.

"It's my fault. I'm not good at horse riding. Your Highness the Crown Prince's horse riding and archery are both first-class. I'm really holding your Highness back by following him." Fang Yule half lowered his head with a shy smile on his face.

Even if someone had noticed something, no one would say anything. Even if Prime Minister Fang didn't give them face, the ones sitting on the throne were His Majesty and the Queen, so they naturally had to give them face.

As they were talking, the sound of horse hooves was heard and Pei Yanli came back.

At this time, His Majesty still did not let Lin Tingwan leave, and she did not dare to move, so she had to stand beside Pei Jinan.

The two of them stood very close to each other, looking like a perfect match, which made Pei Yanli's heart skip a beat.

Eunuch Sun happened to say in surprise at this time, "Your Majesty, the Crown Prince actually hunted a tiger."

Everyone turned to look and saw that it was true. Eight servants were carrying the King of the Forest and slowly approaching.

His Majesty looked at him and laughed, "As expected of my son."

This was followed by a burst of compliments.

At this time, the remaining princes and young masters also came back one after another, but their baskets were full of small things, no different from Lin Tingwan's.

Everyone knew that this was not the time to stand out, and no one would steal the limelight from His Majesty's favorite son, Pei Yanli.

Even the princes chose to stay out of the spotlight for the time being.

"I offer this king of the forest to you, father." Pei Yanli knelt down and said, "Your Majesty is benevolent and admired by all the people. This tiger was frightened by your arrival, so I hunted it down easily."

His Majesty laughed out loud.

When the court officials saw this, they also knelt down immediately, "Your Majesty is so benevolent and virtuous that you are admired by all the people!"

"Your Majesty's benevolence is unparalleled, and all the people admire you!"

"Your Majesty's benevolence is unparalleled, and all the people admire you!"

For a moment, the voices of the court officials were deafening, for they were afraid that if they shouted too softly they would offend His Majesty and Pei Yanli.

Lin Tingwan knelt there, a little lost in thought. Benevolence, is Your Majesty really benevolent?

Does the Lin family’s affairs and Pei Jinan’s affairs have anything to do with him?

Is this what you call benevolence?

She doesn't understand.
