Chapter 332: She panicked after a slight move
Liao Yunfei did not hesitate, and without even raising her head, she replied firmly: "Yes!"
"Keep your head up."
Only then did Liao Yunfei raise her head.
The eldest princess looked at her with a smile on her face, "I like honest children like you, but you have to pay a little price, are you afraid?"
"Don't be afraid!" Liao Yunfei's tone became more determined.
She has been waiting for this day!
She knew that she was a pawn in the hands of the Queen Mother! The Queen Mother must have ulterior motives in arranging a marriage for her!
Finally, she got what she was waiting for.
With the Queen Mother and the Princess as his backers, what is Ji Chuhe!
"Come here, I'll tell you exactly what to do."
……
Xiao Yan'an was standing under the shade of a tree, leading his horse to eat grass.
For hunting today, horses and bows and arrows are all uniformly equipped in the palace.
He only took the horse and no bow and arrow.
Rong Xiaosi trotted up to him.
"Brother Crown Prince, I finally found you! Father asked me to tell you something. Just now, the eldest princess actually invited my sister-in-law to the hunting ground to watch the hunt!"
Xiao Yanan's face suddenly darkened.
"Where is the lady now?" He immediately grabbed Rong Xiaosi's arm and asked.
"Sister-in-law is still at the banquet hall. The hunt hasn't started yet, so they won't come over at this time. My father asked me to tell you because he's worried that Sister-in-law might be in danger. He's already making preparations. Our people will always be near Sister-in-law to protect her in secret."
Xiao Yanan's mind was in a state of confusion. "Fourth cousin, the princess is a lunatic! She must have had bad intentions in inviting Madam! Madam is in danger!"
"Brother Crown Prince, calm down. Maybe things are not as bad as you think."
Xiao Yan'an had not originally planned to go to the hunting ground. Firstly, he had not much interest in hunting, and secondly, because of the injury on his arm.
Now, he has to go!
"Fourth cousin, come with me to get the bow and arrows first, and then we will go to the hunting ground together."
"it is good!"
Over at the banquet hall, the Queen slowly came over, supporting the Queen Mother.
Everyone immediately knelt down and saluted.
"Greetings to Her Majesty the Queen Mother, and greetings to Her Majesty the Queen."
"Everyone, please excuse me."
"Thank you, Queen Mother, and thank you, Queen Mother."
"Today is the autumn hunting festival. Normally, there is nothing for us to do, but we'd like to join in the fun. Don't be restrained, just sit down." The Queen Mother said amiably.
Just as everyone sat down, the eldest princess arrived and everyone hurriedly saluted.
The eldest princess walked through the people who were paying their respects with a smile on her face and came to the side of the Queen Mother.
"Mother."
"It's rare that you're willing to come out today. You didn't even attend my birthday party."
"Please don't blame me, mother. I was not feeling well those days and I was afraid I might have offended you."
"You, I am most worried about you."
Suddenly, a loud horn sounded in the distance, followed by bursts of firecrackers. Although I couldn't see the scene over there, I could feel its grandeur.
"Mother, I want to go to the hunting grounds. I just made an appointment with the Crown Prince's wife to go together."
Ji Chuhe, whose name was called, stood up immediately.
As she moved, the jade pendant hanging around her waist made a crisp sound.
The Queen Mother and the eldest princess looked at Ji Chuhe at the same time, both of them with shocked expressions.
This jade pendant belonged to the previous emperor!
It was originally in the hands of Prince Huaiyang.
Some people in the court also said that the late emperor bestowed this jade pendant with the intention of passing the throne to Prince Huaiyang!
Prince Huaiyang clarified on the spot that the jade pendant had been bestowed by the late emperor a long time ago and there was absolutely no intention to make him the crown prince to inherit the throne, thus calming the matter.
This jade pendant is now in Ji Chuhe's hand. It must have been given to her by King Huaiyang.
The late emperor's jade pendant could save one's life at a critical moment. Yet Prince Huaiyang gave such a valuable item to Ji Chuhe so easily.
The Queen Mother looked at the eldest princess meaningfully, signaling her not to kill Ji Chuhe.
This jade pendant was given by the late emperor. Anyone who makes a request to the emperor with it cannot be refused!
If anything happens to Ji Chuhe, the Huaiyang Palace and the Rongguo Palace will definitely join forces to attack her! Even with the status of the eldest princess, she may not be able to escape unscathed!
There was no need for them to cause so much trouble just for Ji Chuhe.
Anyway, the emperor will take action against Prince Huaiyang sooner or later.
No one from the Huaiyang Palace can escape!
The eldest princess smiled at the queen mother, indicating that she should not worry.
What's the point of taking Ji Chuhe's life directly?
She never intended to do that.
What she likes most is to hold someone's lifeline and watch them struggle to death in front of her!
This way, it’s exciting enough!
You see, she only made a slight move and scared Ji Chuhe so much that he took out the jade pendant of the late emperor.
Ji Chuhe followed the eldest princess, walked through the door, and walked along a long corridor to the end.
There was a sedan chair parked there, and the eldest princess sat on it.
"See that pavilion up ahead? It has a wide view from up high. Let's go there and have a look."
"Yes."
The eldest princess rode in a sedan chair and was carried by people.
Ji Chuhe stepped up the stairs step by step.
She was not the kind of weak woman who stayed at home for a long time, never going out of the house.
However, climbing these stairs also made her breathless. She had a thin layer of sweat on her body and her legs were a little sore.
It will take some time to reach the pavilion on the hill.
Ji Chuhe adjusted his breathing and continued to climb.
The eldest princess looked back at the embarrassed Ji Chuhe, and the corners of her lips slowly curled up.
Finally, after climbing up to the pavilion, Ji Chuhe was already a little out of breath, but she still tried her best to remain dignified.
"Madam, look, isn't that the Crown Prince? It seems like he has caught some prey." The eldest princess smiled and pointed in a direction.
Ji Chuhe looked in the direction of her finger and saw Xiao Yanan's figure.
Xiao Yan'an was holding a red fox he had just hunted and looking in their direction!
As soon as he saw Ji Chuhe, he immediately rode forward.
The eldest princess looked at Xiao Yan'an's approaching figure, and the smile in her eyes deepened.
It's not just Xiao Yanan, there are quite a few people around here.
It seems that not only Prince Huaiyang and the people in Duke Rong's Mansion care about Ji Chuhe, but even Xiao Yan'an has Ji Chuhe in his heart!
A man cannot hide his worry and panic for a woman.
Not long after, Xiao Yan'an appeared in the pavilion.
"Meet the eldest princess."
"We are all family, no need to be polite. An'er, the red fox you hunted is quite good."
"The eldest princess likes it, so this red fox is given to her."
"Then I'll accept it." The eldest princess raised her hand.
A eunuch immediately came forward and took the red fox from Xiao Yan'an's hand.
"I heard that wolf packs could be seen during hunting in previous years. Wolves are not ordinary beasts. Once you encounter one, it is not easy to deal with it! I wonder if there is a chance to see wolf packs this year."
As soon as the princess finished speaking, the howling of wolves was heard not far away.
Xiao Yan'an immediately became alert. Several sturdy wolves with gray and white hair were already looming in the woods.
