After the subjugation of the country, she became the favorite concubine of the enemy

After a period of delay, the biennial spring hunt still started.

As everyone had guessed, this year's Spring Hunting Concubine Mei accompanied Shen Chen to participate.Originally, the imperial concubine would accompany her at the request of the queen mother, but before she left, the imperial concubine herself suddenly told the queen mother that she seemed to have contracted a cold and wanted to stay in the palace to recuperate, so she would not travel with her this time.

Because of the absence of the imperial concubine, the status of the only accompanying concubine Mei seems to be more conspicuous, and many people are discussing behind her back.

In fact, Ling Xiche didn't want to go to this spring hunt at first, after all, he would spend several days outside the palace, and there were too many people, so he was afraid of being seen, but Shen Chen insisted on letting him come together, he couldn't stand Shen Chen again and again Tell him, and finally reluctantly agree to come together.

When he first arrived, he showed his face because of the rules, and then got into his and Shen Chen's tent. There was a banquet in the evening, so he had to come out for dinner, and then the first day here passed by like this up.

On the second day, he planned to stay in the camp all day, so he took out a book he had brought and opened it, planning to read it all day.

Just when I started to read the content, someone opened the tent and got in.

"Brother, what are you doing?"

Ling Xiche raised her head and glanced at her, "Didn't you clamor to come earlier? Finally, why don't you go play?"

Ling Qiyuan squatted down in front of him, holding her chin and said, "I want to play with you."

"I won't go, you can go by yourself." Ling Xiche continued to read the book.

"What's wrong with you? You're in a bad mood? I saw you looking unhappy last night. Did someone bully you in the palace? Tell me who it is, and I'll avenge you next time you enter the palace."

"No."

"Really? Did Xu Yanrong bully you again? I said you are too serious. How can you be bullied?"

Ling Xiche smiled, "If you were married into the palace back then, how would you protect yourself from being bullied?"

Ling Qiyuan replied without thinking, "Whoever wants to trouble me, I will beat him up until I dare not make trouble again."

Ling Xiche asked again, "Then what if someone uses conspiracy?"

Ling Qiyuan said indifferently, "If you really can't play with others, then admit it."

Ling Xiche poked her cheek, "Then I can only say that the prince is a good person, you don't need Gongdou Zhaidou."

Ling Qiyuan took advantage of the situation and grabbed Ling Xiche's hand, "Since you haven't been bullied, then you can go hunting with me."

"Don't go."

"why?"

"I don't want to kill."

Ling Qiyuan expressed her disbelief, and said, "I don't want to kill? Who was the one who roasted my little white rabbit when I was a child?"

Ling Xiche finally told the truth, "Today, the royal family members are all here, and there are also the imperial army and servants. There are a lot of people. There are so many people. I don't want to hang around in front of others."

"It's okay, let's stay away from them, let's go!"

Ling Qiyuan insisted on dragging Ling Xiche out of the tent.

Not far away, a masked man had been secretly watching Ling Xiche's side.

He was planning to make a move just now, but Ling Qiyuan's sudden appearance disrupted his plan. Seeing Ling Xiche coming out of the tent, he quietly followed, waiting for an opportunity to strike.

Seeing that there was no one else beside Ling Xiche except Ling Qiyuan, the masked man slowly approached them, ready to find the right time to strike.

Ling Qiyuan pointed to the two horses in front and said, "Brother, shall we go hunting on horseback?"

"I don't want to be too ostentatious. Or I'd better forget it and go by yourself. I'll wait for you here."

Ling Qiyuan smiled, "It's okay, all the prey you kill are mine, so no one will pay attention to you."

"You want beauty."

Only then did Ling Xiche notice a sword hanging from her waist.

"What are you doing with your sword?"

Ling Qiyuan took Ling Xiche's arm, "I'll protect you."

Ling Xiche nodded her forehead, "I don't need your protection."

Seeing that Princess Jin and Concubine Mei seemed to have an unusually close relationship, the masked man dodged behind a tree that was closer to them, wanting to hear what they were talking about.

Although the sound in this position is not particularly clear, but some words can be barely heard.

It seems that Princess Jin's name for Concubine Mei is a bit wrong. Why does it seem like she is calling her brother?

The masked man held his breath and listened more carefully. Concubine Jin really called Concubine Mei's brother.

elder brother?

Concubine Jin has an elder brother. Everyone knows this. Isn't her elder brother Ling Shangqing Ling Xiche who is well-known in the Three Kingdoms?

Ling......

The masked man's eyes widened.

Ling Xiche!

Concubine Mei is also from the Ling family. Although she doesn't know her boudoir's name, she is indeed surnamed Ling. She is from Ye Kingdom, and Princess Jin still calls him brother.

Is it...

Ling Qiyuan had just persuaded Ling Xiche to go hunting together, and was happily preparing to bring the horse over when she heard the sound of a tree branch being stepped on behind her.

"Who!"

Ling Qiyuan pulled out the saber at her waist and pointed it in the direction of the voice.

Seeing this, Ling Xiche also held the small crossbow hidden in his cuff.

Seeing that he had been discovered, the masked man could only continue to perform the task he was supposed to perform, drew his sword and rushed over.

Seeing this, Ling Qiyuan swung her sword to meet him.

Just after a few tricks, it seems that no one can see who is in a weak position, but Ling Xiche knows in his heart that Ling Qiyuan is a woman, and she must not be able to compare with this well-trained masked killer in terms of strength and physical strength. In addition, she has been in the palace for the past two years. There will be no chance to use force at all, and a long battle will suffer losses.

Ling Xiche took out a small crossbow, pointed it at the assassin, saw the timing, and fired an arrow when Ling Qiyuan was not fighting with him, and shot it at the assassin's neck.

After the assassin was hit by the arrow, he covered his neck. Ling Qiyuan saw the timing and stabbed him with an arrow, piercing his chest, and the assassin fell to the ground.

Ling Xiche walked quickly to Ling Qiyuan's side, "Yuanyuan, are you hurt anywhere?"

Ling Qiyuan shook her head, glanced at the assassin, and found that he was still moving, so she went over to make another stab.

"Brother, do you think he's dead?"

Ling Xiche squatted down beside the assassin and touched his neck.

"Should be dead."

Ling Qiyuan was still worried, "Are you sure? He was so close to us just now, he should have heard me call your brother. If he was rescued without dying, then your identity will be exposed."

Ling Xiche didn't study medicine after all, so he wasn't sure.

Ling Qiyuan walked up to the assassin, gritted her teeth, swung a sword and slashed at his neck, almost half of his neck was cut off.

"Xi Che!"

"Yuanyuan!"

Shen Chen and Shen Yu were hunting not far away, and when they heard the sound of fighting here, they hurried over.Seeing that it was the man in black who fell on the ground, they all heaved a sigh of relief and got off their horses.

Shen Yu ran to Ling Qiyuan's side, and took a good look at her whole body.The cuffs of the clothes were cut, but luckily there was no blood.

Feeling uneasy, I asked again, "Yuanyuan, were you fighting the assassin just now? Did you get hurt anywhere?"

"Don't worry, I'm not hurt."

Shen Chen also took a good look at Ling Xiche, so he was relieved.

Ling Xiche took out the small crossbow that Shen Chen gave him, shook it and said, "Thank you for giving it to me, it really can be used every time."

"I didn't protect you well, sorry."

Ling Xiche just smiled lightly and said nothing more.

Shen Chen glanced at the corpse on the ground, walked over and knelt down beside the corpse, took off the mask of the masked man, and found that he hadn't seen it before.

Shen Yu also came over and saw that the neck of the corpse on the ground was almost cut off, only some flesh and skin were still connected together, there was a large pool of blood on the side, and the feet were a little weak.

Ling Qiyuan supported Shen Yu, "My lord, are you alright?"

"This...is this knife so ruthless?" Shen Yu's legs were still a little weak.

Ling Qiyuan said, "Well, I chopped it off."

"you……"

"He should have heard me calling brother, so he couldn't survive, so I... made up for it twice."

Shen Chen stood up and said, "Qi Yuan, as long as you are outside, don't call him brother."

"Yes, I understand."

Shen Chen walked back to Ling Xiche and held his hand. Although the weather is very warm now, his fingertips were a little cold.

"Are you ok?"

Ling Xiche said lightly, "It seems that some people really can't tolerate me."

"Do you know in your heart who is going to kill you?" Shen Chen asked.

Ling Xiche shook his head.

In fact, who is very clear.

Ling Xiche glanced at Shen Chen, he seemed really clueless now.

That's right, it's been so long since the matter of the ledger, and Uncle Xu Guo hasn't done anything to him for so long, not to mention Shen Chen, even Ling Xiche himself almost thought that they wouldn't do anything to him, it seems It's not that they don't do it, but that they are waiting for a good time.

Ling Xiche walked to Ling Qiyuan's side, "Yuanyuan, let's meet as little as possible in the future."

Ling Qiyuan grabbed him, "No."

Ling Xiche smiled lightly, "You can also see that there are many things around me, and I don't want to burden you. Now that you have An An, you should think more about him."

"elder brother......"

Shen Yu also came over, put his arms around Ling Qiyuan's shoulders and said to Ling Xiche, "Don't say such things, we are a family, if there is anything, we will help each other and bear it together."

"My lord, I'm really afraid that I will bring you some bad things."

Shen Chen on the side couldn't listen anymore, and said, "Xi Che, you don't need to think about these things, I will protect you well. I am the emperor, if I can't even protect my lover, then the emperor doesn't care."

After they left, they left the body where it was.

When it was getting late, a young man came out to inquire about the situation because he couldn't wait for the assassin to return to his life. After inquiring around in the camp, he didn't hear that there was any assassination incident today, so he went out to the hunting ground to search for a long time. until the body was found.

The appearance of the corpse was frightening, the boy wanted to leave quickly, but from the corner of his eye, he saw the corpse's hands clenched tightly, and he could vaguely see something in his hand.

The boy forcibly plucked up his courage and walked over.

The corpse's hands were already stiff, and the servant took a lot of effort to separate his hands, and inside was a delicate bead flower.

The servant picked up the bead flower and quickly left the scene.
