However, she had just confirmed something!
These two lions weren’t from Upper Forest Court’s hunting grounds. They were trained to hunt her!
“Dr. Su! Dr. Su, are you okay?”
Lin Sisi’s booming voice reached them, and Su Yingxue quickly distanced herself from Chu Yihan.
Chu Yihan hadn’t finished hugging her and gave her a dissatisfied pinch on her little face.
Lin Sisi rode her horse over and greeted Chu Yihan, “Greetings, Your Highness!”
Then, she noticed the two lion heads and the separated lion body. Her eyes widened in surprise. “Wow, Dr. Su, you took down two lions!”
Su Yingxue was speechless.
Lin Sisi held her in high regard.
She smiled wryly, thinking of saying that Chu Yihan did the killing.
Chu Yihan unexpectedly handed her the sword. “Hold onto this.”
Su Yingxue received it in a daze. Then, Chu Yihan left, leaving her and Lin Sisi to be discovered by the palace guard who followed them.
Lin Sisi was overjoyed, her laughter unable to be contained. “Dr. Su, you’re incredible! I’ve been hunting so many times and never bagged a fierce beast! Teaming up with you this time was such a stroke of luck! And that Third Prince… Hahaha!”
Lin Sisi’s laughter echoed through the forest, a testament to her genuine happiness.
Su Yingxue pretended not to know and asked, “How’s the Third Prince?”
“He wet his pants! The tiger nearly had his head off! If it weren’t for the Seventh Prince’s arrow hitting the tiger’s eye, we’d be attending his funeral right now!”
When Lin Sisi spoke, her relief was palpable!
For her cousin and for the girls who had suffered at the hands of the Third Prince!
Su Yingxue smiled knowingly.
As she and Lin Sisi emerged from the forest, they spotted Sheng Ping not far off. Sheng Ping, usually downcast, now had a smile on his face when he saw Su Yingxue.
Their gazes met in the air, and Sheng Ping respectfully saluted her from a distance.
Su Yingxue nodded, and the two shared an unspoken understanding.
Lin Sisi and Su Yingxue returned with a full load. Lin Aotian was happy when he saw this. He patted Lin Sisi’s shoulder and laughed. “As expected of my daughter! Sisi, you’ve made me proud!”
“Of course! But, Father, the fierce beast was taken down by Dr. Su! Next time, 1’11 hunt a tiger for you and make a tiger-skin coat!” Lin Sisi was straightforward and honest, making sure Su Yingxue received credit.
Su Yingxue held Chu Yihan’s Qingfeng sword, her smile tinged with shyness.
“Su Yingxue, are you okay? I heard you encountered a lion!”
Chu Chengye rushed over in a disheveled state, still clad in his hunting attire.
When he had saved Chu Xiuwen earlier, Chu Xiuwen had already been sent for treatment due to his serious injuries. He also had injuries on his body, but after hearing the news about Su Yingxue, he could not control his feet.
Su Yingxue’s face turned cold when she saw him. “Thank you for your concern, Seventh Prince. I’m fine.”
Chu Chengye heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that she was fine. However, he frowned when he saw the sword in her hand. “That’s Qingfeng sword!”
His imperial uncle’s prized sword!
How did it end up in Su Yingxue’s possession?
Did he save Su Yingxue?!
A surge of intense jealousy gripped Chu Chengye’s heart.
If it wasn’t for the delay in saving Chu Xiuwen, he would have rushed in to save Su Yingxue!
“Dr. Su, you’re truly brave!”
Consort Xiang was supported by Chu Mingyuan. She had a smile on her face that always made people feel relaxed.
Chu Mingyuan went to see Chu Xiuwen. He was originally in a bad mood, but Consort Xiang accompanied him and spoke a few words along the way, immediately dispelling his worries..
