The third princess smiled brightly and gave Fu Zhao a thumbs up without hesitation.
"Master Fu, your archery skills are so good. You killed one before I even saw the prey."
Fu Zhao curled his lips slightly and held his hands towards the third princess, "Your Highness, you are so complimentary. It's just of an ordinary level."
These two people are in perfect harmony with each other. Yu Nianchu is smiling but is not smiling at all. Now he is praying desperately, if only there is a chance to let her leave...
"Ouch~" Suddenly a familiar voice came from behind, and an arrow shot crookedly, hitting the tree trunk.
Xie Yu had regret written all over his face. After running a few steps, big beads of sweat were already flowing down his forehead.
"It's so difficult to shoot an arrow while riding a horse. I really don't know why my father has to do it alone."
Fu Zhao was busy saluting, and the third princess immediately covered her face and laughed, "Brother, I thought you were going to stay in the tent to sleep!"
Yu Nianchu also nodded slightly, "I have met His Highness the Crown Prince."
Xie Yu clicked his tongue and rode up to the three of them, with a charming smile on his lips.
"Xu'er, you are so unkind. It's such a good thing to be accompanied by a beautiful woman, but you don't call me Shanggu~"
"It's really useless to hurt you!"
Xie Xu was shocked. She had wanted to be alone with Fu Zhao, but now that Xie Yu was here, she could take Yu Nianchu away.
"Hey~ Why doesn't Xu'er miss my brother? I'll lend Miss Yu to you now, okay?"
"Miss Yu is not very good at riding horses, so she just happened to be walking with her brother on horseback."
Yu Nianchu was naturally happy. She and Xie Yu knew each other who the other was, so even if she wanted to do something bad, there was no need to be too shy about it.
Moreover, she was planning to find an opportunity to give a cloak to Xie Yu.
"Okay, then I'll ask His Highness the Crown Prince to take care of you."
Xie Yu pinched his chin, still hesitant.
"Tsk, isn't it good? If other beauties see that there is a beauty beside me, they will be too scared to get close to me."
Fu Zhao, who had been silent all this time, spoke with a somewhat anxious tone.
"Yes! This is inappropriate, and His Majesty said that Wei Chen should take the Third Princess and Miss Yu hunting. It is difficult for Wei Chen to refute the imperial edict."
"Ah~" Xie Yu sighed, and immediately stretched out his hand towards Yu Nianchu, "Refuting the imperial edict? It sounds exciting!"
"Since Miss Yu can't ride a horse, just ride with Gu."
Yu Nianchu thought for a while, and quickly stretched out his hand neatly. Xie Yu gently lifted her hand and went to his horse.
"Chu'er! You..."
When Fu Zhao invited her just now, she immediately refused, but now to Xie Yu...
Fu Zhao felt really unbalanced.
At first, he was still brainwashing himself. Last time about the money bag, he was too impatient, so Chu'er said angry words.
Now it seems that there must be something going on between the two of them!
Xie Xu happily waved to the two of them, "Then I'll leave Miss Yu to Brother, and Xu'er will go hunting with Master Fu."
No matter how reluctant Fu Zhao was, he could not defeat the two His Highnesses.
Seeing that the four people were about to separate, Ayun immediately rushed forward, took off the water bottle from Yu Nianchu's horse and handed it to her.
"Miss, bring your water."
Xie Yu clicked her tongue again, "You girl, you are quite considerate."
"Seeing that there are few people over at Xu'er, just go and wait on me."
Ayun was surprised and happy, this meant that she could legitimately stay with Fu Zhao!
She thanked her repeatedly, "Yes, I obey!"
Fu Zhao was suffocating in his heart, but before leaving, he still turned around and looked at Yu Nianchu reluctantly.
"Chu'er, please be safe."
After saying that, he left with the third princess.
Xie Yu shook his head helplessly and threw the kettle handed over by Ayun with his backhand.
"Really, I'm exhausted from acting every day."
"This girl is also stupid. She has been with you for so long and has not been able to learn your essence at all."
Yu Nianchu sighed, approached Xie Yu's arms, and whispered, "There are people around, how can you say these things."
"Aren't you afraid of falling short?"
Xie Yu snorted, being amused by the little girl again, and flicked the tip of her nose with his finger.
"Silly girl, I dare to say this, naturally because they are all our own people~"
Hoshino on the side repeatedly echoed, "Yes, yes, His Highness also regards you as one of his own~"
"Originally His Highness didn't want to come out, but he was really worried about you. No, his waist is no longer sore, and his legs are no longer hurting~"
"Ahem!" Xie Yu rolled his eyes at him, "If you don't speak, no one will treat you as a mute."
Hoshino pouted unconvinced, "I'm not talking nonsense..."
Xie Yu's earlobes were already a little red, but Yu Nianchu in front of him was as calm as ever, not at all like a sixteen-year-old girl.
It's quite desireless.
"That's all, you all go down and keep some distance to protect yourself."
After Hoshino and the others left, Xie Yu got straight to the point.
"Tell me, bad girl, what are your plans?"
"I've warned you, but you still insist on hitting the knife edge. Do you think you will live longer?"
Now there are only two of them left, and Yu Nianchu has returned to his normal appearance.
Just like Xie Yu said, acting is quite tiring.
"Your Highness, what you said is wrong. How can you think that your own life is too long? I just think that others' lives are too long."
Hearing this, Xie Yu understood instantly.
This girl probably wants to continue to investigate the cause of her mother's death.
However, there were too many people involved in that matter, and she couldn't afford to offend each one of them.
"Chu'er, does it have to be like this?"
Yu Nianchu made no secret of it, "Yes, I must do this!"
"Whoever killed my mother deserves to die."
She said through gritted teeth, her eyes filled with hatred, and she was very determined.
In this case, Xie Yu didn't persuade him anymore.
All he could do was give her all the help within his ability.
"Forget it, I won't stop you, tell me first, what exactly do you want to do this time?"
The girl looked at him suspiciously, "Why should I tell you?"
"With one less person knowing, I'm much safer."
Xie Yu clicked her tongue, easily picked up Yu Nianchu's chin with her slender fingers, and shook her little head violently.
"If I take the initiative to help you, wouldn't the probability of success be much higher?"
Yu Nianchu looked like he was thinking, but he actually nodded.
"That's true, but I still don't understand why you are so nice to me? This is very unreasonable."
"For example, I worked hard and turned thousands of times to get a bunch of candied haws."
"But when I turned around, you suddenly gave me a banquet without any price or reason."
"I... feel uneasy."
Xie Yu clamped the horse's belly slightly, and the horse under him ran into the woods in front of him.
He hugged Yu Nianchu's small body and thought for a long time before answering, "No, there is a price."
"I never do business at a loss. Everything I do for you now will be repaid in the future, with interest."
