She has been hiding under their wings in both lives. She should do something for this family and not let herself become their weak point.

But what could she do for them?

Mu Luan blinked her moist eyes and suddenly thought of something.

What if she got married?

Who would covet a married woman's fame, and who would deliberately use her to strangle the general's mansion?

The light gradually illuminated Mu Luan's gloomy peach blossom eyes, revealing a look of determination.

At sunset, the drums are beaten to signal the end of the hunt.

Shen Yin walked happily towards Mu Luan's tent and shouted from a distance, "Yaoyao, come out quickly."

Hearing the voice, Mu Luan opened the curtain, and a figure in red rushed towards her.

She subconsciously hid her injured hand behind her back.

But Shen Yin tried her best to stop when she was half a step away from her.

"What happened? You look so happy." Mu Luan couldn't help but curl up the corners of her lips in a gentle smile.

"Yaoyao, look, we have a great harvest today," Shen Yin pointed to a place excitedly.

Mu Luan looked in the direction of her hand.

The troops returning to the camp formed a long line, and the soldiers in the middle were all holding the prey hunted by their masters.

There were hares, pheasants, musk deer, etc., as well as some rare and strange prey. The most eye-catching one was the wild deer carried by four men.

Shen Yinle was as happy as if she had eaten honey. She suddenly moved closer to Mu Luan and whispered, "Yaoyao, guess who hunted that wild deer?"

Mu Luan shook her head and narrowed her beautiful eyes.

Shen Yin couldn't help herself and blurted out, "It's the Fourth Prince!"

Mu Luan's smile froze, perhaps because the Fourth Prince left too deep an impression on her today.

When I heard his name now, I really couldn't laugh.

Shen Yin did not notice Mu Luan's abnormality, and said to herself: "I didn't expect the Fourth Prince to be so skilled in riding and shooting. The fact that the Crown Prince hunted a fire fox already opened my eyes, but who knew that the Fourth Prince would shoot down a wild deer directly afterwards? In today's competition, he won the first place without any suspense. He is really brave."

"Shen Yin, you are a woman after all. If you keep talking, your eyes will fall on the Fourth Prince."

A sour voice came from behind the two of them.

Shen Yin looked back and saw that it was Mu Qingyu. The smile on her face faded a little. She said sarcastically, "It's up to you to take care of it. Unlike some people, they sneaked away in the middle of the game, leaving me alone to fight the enemy. They don't take any responsibility at all."

"Are you hurt?" Mu Qingyu walked forward, regardless of the fact that Mu Luan was still there, pulled Shen Yin's wrist, and looked her up and down.

This sudden concern made Shen Yin stunned for a moment. He glanced at Mu Luan who was grinning, and his cheeks felt inexplicably hot.

She pushed Mu Qingyu away, having clearly decided that after returning from the hunting ground, she would never talk to that bastard again.

But for some reason, seeing his concerned expression, I couldn't get angry at all.

But she still deliberately kept a straight face and said, "How do you know that your ears heard that I was injured?"

Seeing that there were indeed no signs of injury on her body, Mu Qingyu felt relieved, "It's good that you're not injured."

He sighed softly and turned to look at Mu Luan.

"How about you? How are you feeling?"

Shen Yin didn't understand and looked at Mu Luan, "What happened?"

Only then did he realize that something was wrong with Mu Luan. "Yaoyao, why is your face a little red?"

Mu Luan was stunned for a moment, raised her hand and touched her slightly hot face, and said nonchalantly: "It may be because I stayed in the tent for too long."

She didn't know what was wrong with her, but she felt inexplicably restless throughout the afternoon.

It wasn't like she had a fever, nor was she feeling particularly uncomfortable, but her limbs felt a little weak due to the dryness.

Shen Yin looked over Mu Luan with scrutiny and suddenly saw the bandage on her hand.

He held her arm with concern and asked, "What's wrong?"

Mu Luan glanced at his second brother and his eyes moved slightly.

Not wanting Shen Yin to be implicated, he only said, "I was accidentally injured by an arrow while hunting, but I'm fine now."

To prove that she was really okay, she raised her hand and moved it in front of Shen Yin, but inadvertently saw the bloodstains on the bandage.

She pretended nothing had happened and withdrew her hand, not letting the two of them see what happened.

I wondered why the bleeding started again. It seemed that I would have to change the medicine again before the dinner.

Shen Yin heaved a sigh of relief upon seeing this, with guilt still lingering in his eyes.

Only then did she understand that the reason Mu Qingyu came back in such a hurry was because Yaoyao had an accident.

In order not to spoil her hunting pleasure, he did not tell her about this.

She misunderstood him.

"Don't look at me with that expression. Yaoyao is my sister, you don't need to blame yourself." Mu Qingyu's eyes had a faint smile, but his tone was very serious.

Mu Luan looked at Shen Yin's slightly awkward expression, and then glanced at the tenderness in her second brother's eyes.

She raised her eyebrows prettily.

It seems that there is a chance between the second brother and Ayin!

Mu Luan concealed the smile on her lips, took Shen Yin's hand and walked into the tent.

As night falls, weary birds return to the forest, the silver moon is half hidden in dark clouds, and darkness swallows the dark blue sky.

In an open space in the enclosure, the emperor, his important civil and military officials, and the sons of officials sat around a huge bonfire.

The flames flickered, illuminating the wine in the glass and the game on the table.

The emperor was very pleased and rewarded the crown prince who hunted the fire fox and the fourth prince who hunted the wild deer.

Amid the congratulations of his ministers, the emperor ordered the roasted wild deer to be distributed so that people could share today's harvest.

Since the emperor was present at the dinner, all the maids and servants of the officials' children were not allowed to come along.

Song Wenjing and the Fourth Prince sat on one side. Ever since he arrived at his seat, his eyes had been following the graceful figure behind the general.

But whenever Mu Luan looked in his direction, he would unconsciously look away.

I was afraid of meeting those beautiful crystal peach eyes.

I was afraid that what she said to me today was not just a momentary impulse, but the truth.

He lowered his eyes and drank cup after cup of wine, numbing his clear mind.

Jun Zhiling saw that Song Wenjing only drank alcohol and didn't eat meat, and there was a look of melancholy in his eyes, as if he was drinking to drown his sorrows.

This was the first time he had seen someone look so lonely.

After observing for a while, I found that Song Wenjing always looked in the direction of Mu Sinian intentionally or unintentionally while raising his glass.

The Song family and the Mu family have a deep connection. When Song Wenjing was young in the capital, his best playmate was the second son of the Mu family.

There was deep thought in Jun Zhiling's eyes.

If the Mu family and the Song family join forces, the wind direction in the court will probably become turbulent again.

He lowered his eyes to glance at the palm of his hand, remembering the softness he had caught in the woods today. His gaze fell on the location of the general's mansion, and he couldn't help but feel more inquiring.

But after looking for a long time, he could only see a piece of light pink dress behind Mu Qingyu.
