Everyone present was concerned about Ge Yuanhui's situation, and no one noticed that Xue Zhiyi and Huo Wuyou were standing there whispering.

Only Shen Qingtang's eyes looked a little dull.

From this angle, she couldn't see Xue Zhiyi's expression. She only saw Huo Wuyou smiling at this moment, which made his face look even brighter. Even though he was looking towards Ge Yuanhui in an attempt to hide his expression, his body unconsciously leaned slightly towards Xue Zhiyi.

Her heart was like a box of ointment that was not delivered that day, and it sank to the bottom of the water with a splash.

Fu Rongxin saw Shen Qingtang's expression and looked at Xue Zhiyi again. Her smile deepened: The affairs between men and women in this world are like a knife that kills people. Who knows who the blade will point to next?

Ge Yuanhui's commotion prompted Gu Shichong to take action and carry her behind the curtain to rest. In this way, the game was considered a loss.

It's Xue Zhiyi's group's turn.

After Gu Shichong carried Ge Yuanhui back, he launched the first attack.

The second attacker was Xue Zhiyi. Just as she was about to walk towards the ball, she heard Gu Shichong whisper to her, "Yuan Hui was injured just now and can't walk. I can't let another man carry her."

Xue Zhiyi didn't react for a moment to why Gu Shichong said this to her. After realizing that she was still engaged to him, she said, "Your Highness is kind-hearted. Zhiyi thanks His Highness on behalf of Miss Ge."

In one sentence, the relationship between the two is clearly defined.

After saying that, he took the hammer and continued playing.

She thought to herself: In her previous life, Gu Shichong never considered any engagement with her, and even showed his dissatisfaction with her openly. Even when she begged so hard, he only pushed her back into the fire pit.

But in the end, Gu Shichong was able to team up with the Xue family to use the evidence she had exchanged for her life to defeat King Cheng, and then he abandoned her.

Be it the water dungeon or the whip, everything she suffered in Chunfeng Tower was also caused by Gu Shichong.

I don’t know what kicked his brain in this life, but he actually started to be interested in her.

So disgusting!

Thinking this in her mind, she stood next to the ball.

Zhao Lian stood at the ball pit and watched the game with little interest. Gu Shichong also stood at the ball pit and said to her, "Zhiyi, lift your hammer a little higher and go over the mound in front."

Hearing Gu Shichong's address, Huo Wuyou's brows knitted tighter and tighter, and he felt a tightness in his chest...

He felt like he was about to be doomed because of Xue Zhiyi. He actually started to become jealous.

Xue Zhiyi fiddled with the hammer, moving it a little bit imperceptibly so that the direction of the ball would be facing - Gu Shichong.

She took a deep breath, picked up the ball and hit it hard.

The ball actually flew towards Gu Shichong.

At the same time, Huo Wuyou quietly flicked a small stone from between his fingers and hit Zhao Lian's knee.

Her legs went limp and she screamed and rushed towards Gu Shichong.

The wooden ball hit her forehead hard.

Huo Wuyou threw another stone, which hit Zhao Lian's other knee. Zhao Lian, who should have fallen to the ground, suddenly fell towards Gu Shichong. They both fell to the ground at the same time and fell into the mud where Xue Runing had just picked up the ball.

Zhao Lian covered her forehead and screamed, "Help! It hurts! Am I going to die?"

Although Gu Shichong was not injured, he fell and was covered in mud, looking very miserable.

The breath that was stuck in Huo Wuyou's heart suddenly cleared up.

Xue Zhiyi hurried forward and said, "Your Highness... Your Highness, are you okay?"

Gu Shichong was helped to stand up by his attendants. Seeing Xue Zhiyi's panic-stricken face and his intense gaze on him, he held back the words that were on the tip of his tongue and pretended to be magnanimous, saying, "It's okay."

Xue Zhiyi grabbed his sleeves, his face full of guilt and apology, as if he was about to cry out of fear: "I'm glad that Your Highness is okay... It's Zhiyi's fault. I only thought about what Your Highness had told me to do, and tried to cross the mound, and I almost hit Your Highness."

Then, he looked at Zhao Lian, who was about to curse at him, with admiration, and said, "Fortunately, Miss Zhao was brave enough to save the emperor. Otherwise, if your precious body was injured, I really don't know what I would do!"

Zhao Lian covered her swollen head and just as she was helped to stand up, she wanted to tear Xue Zhiyi apart, but she heard Gu Shichong also said: "Miss Zhao is worthy of being a general's daughter. She is very brave. This prince will petition for a reward for Miss Zhao."

Zhao Lian choked, unwilling to suffer this loss, but also reluctant to give up this credit. She blushed and finally gritted her teeth and endured it: "Your Highness... Your Highness is too kind, I just... It's just a small favor."

Hearing this, Xue Zhiyi looked up at Gu Shichong and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, for pardoning my fault. Your Highness is truly magnanimous and benevolent."

Being praised like this, Gu Shichong's mouth corners raised uncontrollably. Covered in mud, he said, "It's just a small matter. It's easy to hurt someone accidentally when playing Chui Wan. I'm not an unreasonable person."

Xue Zhiyi smiled sincerely: "In this case, I wonder if you can finish this last shot?"

At this moment, Gu Shichong was extremely magnanimous and benevolent: "Of course."

Xue Zhiyi bowed again: "Thank you, Your Highness."

Looking at all this, Huo Wuyou's mouth twitched... No, what is this? A nameless anger surged up, and his heart was even more blocked!

Xue Zhiyi pulled Xue Runing to deliver the final blow.

The ball hit Zhao Lian and fell to the ground, landing right next to the ball pit, only three or two steps away from the pit.

Xue Runing held the hammer tightly, solemnly -

Sure enough, the ball hit the target.

Xue Zhiyi clapped his hands repeatedly, and deliberately shouted loudly so that those who had just bullied Xue Runing could hear: "Runing, thanks to your attack, we won!"

Xue Runing smiled shyly, her little face full of excitement, red in the sunlight.

The game ended and the spectators dispersed.

The gentle and kind Ge Yuanhui prepared tea for them and invited them to rest in the tent.

Gu Shichong wanted to change clothes and Zhao Lian wanted to heal her wounds, so only Xue Zhiyi, Xue Runing and Huo Wuyou went together.

Fu Rongxin and Shen Qingtang are also here.

At this moment, Ge Yuanhui looked terribly ugly, especially when he looked at the complacent Xue Zhiyi. The gentleness and generosity on his face finally showed a crack.

Fu Rongxin was indeed very satisfied. After this incident, Ge Yuanhui must have hated Xue Zhiyi to death. Having faced such an opponent, Xue Zhiyi was in for a lot of trouble.

But she suddenly met Xue Zhiyi's eyes, which gave her a startle.

Xue Zhiyi smiled meaningfully. She looked at Ge Yuanhui and said, "I don't know how serious Miss Ge's injury is. Is it serious?"

Ge Yuanhui forced a smile and said, "It's okay. Thank you Miss Xue for your concern."

"I'm glad you're okay." Xue Zhiyi said as he put down the teacup, but accidentally knocked over a bamboo tube on the table, and the bamboo sticks inside also fell to the ground.

Xue Zhiyi said sorry and wanted to bend down to pick it up, but he saw Ge Yuanhui instructing the servants to clean it up.

After putting the bamboo tube back on the table, Xue Zhiyi took a look and said, "It turns out to be the lot we drew just now."

After that, she sighed, "How come both of them are the ones His Highness drew?"

Ge Yuanhui frowned, took it and looked, and sure enough, the names of Xue Zhiyi and Xue Runing were written on both bamboo sticks.

Realizing something, she suddenly looked at Fu Rongxin.

Fu Rong felt a chill on her back... The two bamboo sticks she prepared indeed had the names of Xue Zhiyi and Xue Runing on them. This way, as long as Prince Gong drew first, he would be on the same team with Xue Zhiyi no matter what.

But she is not stupid, why would she leave both of them in the lottery box?

Just now, when they were playing chuiwan, she had plenty of time to replace the bamboo sticks into the correct shape. But she didn't know what happened, why there were suddenly two identical bamboo sticks in the bamboo tube.

Xue Zhiyi suppressed his smile: Of course it was because she had asked Qiuyun to secretly forge a bamboo stick and then hid it under her sleeve, and when she accidentally knocked the bamboo tube off, she threw that stick on the ground as well.

For a moment, Fu Rong was speechless.
