Clusters of fires ignited in the camp, dyeing the pitch-black sky red, and the clouds floated slowly. The silvery white crescent seemed to be separated by a layer of veil, unable to squeeze through the layers of floating clouds.

Around the camp, the flames and smoke of roasting wild game rose into the sky. Soldiers circled the fire to invite the moon with wine, beat pots and sing.

The eldest prince returned to his tent early and ordered his cronies to put their hands on the door.

When no one was watching around the tent, the First Prince got out from the other side of the tent as soon as he slipped out.

He didn't bring his attendants with him, and with a torch in his hand, he followed the dense passages of the paddock and quickly got into the woods.

Although he has a fat body, he is the blood of the Jiangxia Dynasty after all, and his skills are definitely beyond the reach of high-ranking nobles. The spies surrounding the camp were easily thrown off.

It didn't take long to reach the destination. The eldest prince groped into the stone cave dug earlier, pushed aside the layers of vines, and stepped in. Then he took out the bamboo tube and blew up the sparks.

It was very quiet in the cave, until the fire light illuminated the First Prince's face, then there was the sound of light footsteps not far away.

"Your Highness is down?"

The eldest prince hurried up to meet him, held the torch, and lit up the lamps prepared in the cave one by one, and Gu Rao, who was wearing a smoky blue skirt, stood in front of him.

The two sat together on the simple stone couch, the eldest prince sighed: "Why do you insist on coming to the paddock with me, this barren mountain and wild ridge can't be guarded by people, what if it is caught by wild beasts?"

Gu Rao leaned into his arms, and said softly, "This place is outside the hunting range, so there are royal people chasing and outflanking it, how can there be any wild beasts that can escape the hunting range."

The eldest prince patted her on the back, hesitated for a moment, and persuaded: "It's better not to go to that Gu Sheng, endure the momentary anger, and avoid a hundred days of worries. When the time is right, I will take care of you." Justice."

Gu Rao shook her head, and said softly: "Why did Your Highness hurt Prince Luo because of that lowly maidservant? You don't need to take action at all, as long as the slave family shows her face a few more times when she is on the order, scaring her in Luo Insane and disrespectful in front of the Prince, just like last time in the Yan Mansion, are you afraid that she will not be rejected by Prince Luo?

The day of canonization next year will be the time when she will be divorced. "

The eldest prince looked suspicious, and said in a deep voice, "Ah-Jiu is quite concerned about that woman, but I'm afraid that if she gets in a hurry, she will get serious with us."

Gu Rao sneered and said, "Shangxin? Going back to Yan's mansion, Gu Sheng was so frightened. So far, I haven't seen Prince Luo pursue the matter. How can there be any sincerity? It's just a marriage according to the holy will.

The newlywed Yaner, the super-rank emperor is still young, and now he has just tasted human affairs, and he has a short-term attachment to that lowly servant girl. This kind of friendship is so fragile that it will be broken at the touch of a finger. "

**

Gu Sheng saw that His Highness the Ninth Highness had been eating wild game for several days in a row and was unhappy. After returning to the camp, he couldn't help asking why, but the little scumbag avoided talking about it.

According to the experience of taking care of Sheng for more than ten years, His Highness Ninth Prince's attitude is usually due to some embarrassing things.

This kind of time is really not suitable for detailed questioning, His Royal Highness needs to digest it by himself.

I wondered in my heart, I don't know which guy who doesn't have eyesight offended the Emperor of Resentment, and probably won't live to the day when the little scum ascends the throne...

His Highness the Ninth Prince has been frustrated for two or three days. If the matter of the Eldest Prince's possession of death row prisoners is brought to the father's side, the Eldest Brother will be completely abolished.

This is tantamount to helping Jiang Han uproot his biggest opponent and unify Jiang Han's power in the court.

In recent years, in order to win over civil servants and generals, Jiang Han has used increasingly extreme means.

The emperor was not ignorant, although he kept turning a blind eye, he deliberately snubbed Jiang Han and got close to the eldest prince, thus barely maintaining the delicate balance between the parties in the court.

Breaking this balance will do all harm to His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince.

Taking a closer look at the pros and cons, after the eldest prince has guarded Gu Rao's private house layer by layer, as long as Gu Rao keeps his own place and never gets close to Gu Sheng, His Highness the Ninth Prince does not want to have a confrontation with the eldest prince.

But this time, Gu Rao ventured into the Mulan paddock, apparently with evil intentions.

After all, this place is in the mountains and forests, so it is not as well guarded as the First Prince's private house, the assassination of Gu Rao can be done seamlessly.

His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince wanted to take this opportunity to eradicate this scourge, but it was a pity that his subordinates were unable to find Gu Rao's hiding place for many days.

If the news leaks out, the First Prince will definitely escort Gu Rao back to the city immediately.

To sum it up, Jiang Chenyue had to get rid of Gu Rao and get rid of her own relationship while keeping the secret for the eldest prince.

This is the reason why His Highness Ninth Prince did not eat very well for several days in a row.

At night, there was only one dim candle burning in the tent.

Gu Sheng saw the little scum aggressively pushing him down, and hurriedly refused: "Your Highness, there are guards outside, and we agreed not to have sex during the autumn period."

In the dark light, the person on her body passionately sucked her right cheek inch by inch, kissing all the way to the stem of her neck, and then to the front of her eyes. Only then did she slightly open her pale gold eyes, and whispered in her ear: "I want to give you a big gift, how do you want to repay it?"

Gu Sheng was immediately elated, no matter what kind of gift it is!Finally looking forward to the little scum asking again!

But looking around, this empty tent, my heart suddenly became cold again——

This is even more inappropriate than a bath, the little scum really knows where to choose!

"What kind of gift?" Gu Sheng muttered, thinking about what to say, so that His Royal Highness Jiu could happily wait until he returned to the mansion.

Jiang Chenyue raised her head and lowered her eyes to look at her, her long eyelashes cast thick shadows in her shallow pupils, she raised her eyebrows and said mysteriously: "I can guarantee that you won't be disturbed by nightmares in the future."

Gu Sheng was stunned, and when he mentioned the nightmare, the face that floated in the pond that day appeared in his mind, his face turned pale with fright, and he shrank his head and said in a trembling voice: "Your Highness! It's already the second watch, Let’s talk about it again in the morning!”

**

In the early morning of the second day, the First Prince and the Seventh Prince had just arrived at the foot of the mountain in the south when they heard a report from a cavalry: a female corpse was found near the Beishan paddock.

Hearing this, the eldest prince's face turned pale in an instant, he turned his horse's head, swung his whip and galloped towards Beishan!

The Seventh Prince hurriedly called him back, but saw the First Prince hastily told him to stay here and wait, and disappeared at the end of the intersection in a blink of an eye.

The monk of the Seventh Prince Zhang Er couldn't figure it out, he turned his head to look at the hundreds of cavalry behind him, if they chased up together, they might disturb Sheng Jia, so they had to wait for him to come back.

The first prince had just arrived at the northern entrance of the mountain, and happened to see Jiang Chenyue, with a few subordinates, slowly heading towards this side.

He hastily turned and got off his horse, stepped forward and asked, "Ah Jiu! Who is the deceased? Have you found out?"

His Highness Ninth Prince was sleepy, yawned, and said slowly: "Brother is here too? Gu also just heard the news——

The cavalry who surrounded the beast found bloodstains at the entrance of the cave, and searched for a female corpse along the way. It is said that she looked like a lady from a rich family in the city, which is really strange. Where did the lady from a big family come from after the mountain was sealed off?

Exactly who it is, has to go up the mountain to identify it. "

The eldest prince was suddenly thunderstruck, and his fat body staggered a few steps backwards.

His Royal Highness Jiu quickly reached out to stabilize his arm, tilted his head and asked in doubt: "Brother? What's wrong with you?"

The eldest prince waved his hands in despair, turned his head tremblingly to enter the mountain, and murmured calmly: "Brother will accompany you...go and have a look..."

"Brother, don't worry," His Highness Ninth Prince put his hand on his shoulder and said calmly, "Second Sister also entered the forest from the north of the mountain, and she will be there in a while, let's wait for her to come with me."

The First Prince opened his eyes violently upon hearing this.

As soon as Jiang Han was mentioned, his mind immediately recovered——

If it was really Gu Rao who was killed, once Jiang Han recognized the dead body, he would definitely catch him to deceive the emperor. If he was reported in front of the vassal king for the crime of hiding a death row prisoner, it would not be as easy as confinement or demotion thing.

"No! No!" The corner of the eldest prince's mouth twitched in anxiety, he grasped Jiang Chenyue's hand, and said anxiously: "We... we must dispose of the corpse first! Father must not be alarmed!"

Jiang Chenyue said in a low voice: "It's just a commoner who was attacked, and the emperor will not punish him."

"No!" The eldest prince yelled suddenly, holding Jiang Chenyue's hand with trembling arms: "Ah Jiu, listen to the elder brother, this matter cannot be spread! You just stay here, don't make it public, I will deal with it Corpse!"

After speaking, she let go and wanted to leave, but Jiang Chenyue grabbed her wrist backhand!

The eldest prince turned his head, and saw that those shallow pupils were no longer sleepy, and they were staring at him sharply——

"Brother? What's the matter with you?"

The eldest prince was anxious, worried that Jiang Han would arrive at any time, so he could only break free from the restraints, and said anxiously: "Let's talk about it later!"

Jiang Chenyue stepped forward quickly, turned around and stopped in front of him, stood on the road slope, looked down at him, and said sternly: "After all, it is a life, and now the identity is unknown, how can the eldest brother hide it at will? "

The eldest prince staggered back a few steps. Seeing the sun rise, it was almost time for the cavalry on the North Road to hunt. In front of him was the Ninth Emperor Sister who couldn't be fooled. He was sweating profusely in an instant.

In a panic, he pulled Jiang Chenyue over and whispered in his ear: "This matter is no small matter! That female corpse may endanger the life of my elder brother! We cannot delay!

Ah Jiu, to tell the truth, big brother, now that you are married to Jungui, whom your second child likes, it is hard to prevent that she will not beat you up in the future!

Once the elder brother completely loses power, who else can protect you?Our brothers and sisters are broken bones and connected muscles!Let me go! "

Jiang Chenyue showed a look of panic, and hurriedly asked: "Is that female corpse related to you?"

Seeing that the eldest prince was hesitant and refused to speak out, Jiang Chenyue said decisively: "Brother, what's going on? It's at this juncture, why are you hiding it from Gu Gu? Protecting your status is the only way to protect Gu Gu's own safety!"

The eldest prince let go after hearing the words, he naturally believed that Jiang Chenyue would not have a quarrel with him because of the private enmity between his wife and concubine, and then he revealed Gu Rao's secret hidden in the mountains!

His Highness the Ninth Prince seemed very shocked, complained to him in a few words, and quickly decided on a countermeasure: "Brother, don't worry about other things for now, you should hurry back to your team and hunt as usual! You must separate yourself from this matter, and don't arouse second sister's suspicion. , let Gu handle the corpse."

The eldest prince didn't expect the Ninth Emperor Sister to cooperate so much, and he felt mixed feelings for a moment, and he couldn't help but sigh again and again.

Jiang Chenyue stabilized his shoulders with both hands, raised her chin and stared at him: "Listen, now is not the time to talk, you have to go back quickly..."

Turning his head to look at the forest, he squinted his pale golden pupils, and asked the eldest prince sincerely: "Second sister is coming soon, brother, is there a shortcut to find that cave sooner?"

In desperation, the First Prince didn't have time to think about it, so he hurriedly revealed the route.

After getting Gu Rao's hiding place, Jiang Chenyue glanced down the mountain with a stern expression. Seeing that Jiang Han hadn't arrived yet, she stabilized the eldest prince's shoulders, stared at him, and whispered, "Go quickly. When someone asks, it is said that the maid who died was brought by Gu, do you understand?"

The eldest prince nodded solemnly, and patted Jiang Chenyue on the shoulder: "I leave it to you!"

"rest assured."

Seeing the eldest prince fleeing in a panic, His Highness the Ninth Prince turned around and waved, and the two confidantes immediately rushed down from the tree.

This time, Gu Rao's hiding place was easily defrauded. His Highness Ninth Prince asked the two to go and take it immediately, and sent Gu Rao to the Prince's Mansion to be imprisoned immediately.

After finishing the order, His Royal Highness returned to the camp and took Gu Sheng into the mountain together.

After all, in the past, they slept until the last minute before showing up, and this day was no exception, so as not to arouse Jiang Han's suspicion.

Hunting is business as usual.

**

When the golden wuxi fell, clusters of bonfires lit up in the camp.

After three bowls of wine, Anar got up staggeringly, and danced among the sergeants with a drunken face, attracting admiration from the surroundings.

When she was excited, she suddenly wanted to toast Jiang Chenyue, but was stopped by the servants of Da Xia around her.

The servant girl told her that Prince Luo "is not very good at drinking".

Anar didn't believe it, she swung her arm away from the crowd, pointed at the maidservant and said displeasedly: "You...do you think His Highness Ninth Prince...wouldn't talk to me?"

Having been repeatedly rejected by Jiang Chenyue in the past few days, Anar suddenly felt a burst of sadness at this moment, she pursed her lips and said aggrievedly: "You...don't underestimate me..."

"Anal."

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly remembered the voice that haunted him in his dreams!

Ana suddenly became [-]% sober, turned around suddenly, and saw the firelight illuminating the slender figure opposite, illuminating that face like a dream.

"Your Highness Ninth Prince?" Anar opened her cat-like amber eyes, and pointed her index finger at the tip of her nose: "You... called me?"

Jiang Chenyue had no expression on her face, she tilted her head: "Come with me."
