"Young Master?" Li Zhao was stunned for a moment and couldn't remember who Su Minglang was talking about.

"The son of the Marquis of Yueyang." Su Minglang added, "He sent me a pile of furs today."

"I have never met that prince before, so I feel unworthy of this gift."

"Oh! So that's what happened." Li Zhao remembered, "When the prince was hunting with me today, he kept talking about the maid next to the queen. I guess he was talking about you."

"What does the prince think of Xiaoye?" Su Minglang frowned.

"So that's what you're worried about?" Li Zhao said nonchalantly, "The prince is young and will go his separate ways when he returns to the capital in a few days. He will forget about it when he returns to his fiefdom. Your Majesty doesn't need to worry."

"I hope so." Su Minglang's tone turned cold when he mentioned this matter. "Master Li, please do as you wish."

The guess was confirmed, and Su Minglang no longer had the energy to deal with Li Zhao. Even if things really developed as Li Zhao expected, Su Minglang would never be at ease knowing that someone was thinking about Xiao Ye.

After the two parted, Su Minglang hurried back. She had mixed feelings along the way. It seemed as if there were two little people fighting in her mind. One said that the fur sent by the prince should be hidden and not given to Xiaoye, and the other said that Xiaoye's choice should be respected and let her make her own decision.

The two villains fought back and forth, making Su Minglang's mind a mess.

As soon as Su Minglang entered the room, he saw Nanxing holding the piece of fox fur in his hand and talking to Xiaoye excitedly. The tense string in Su Minglang's heart suddenly broke.

"Xiaoye!"

Xiao Ye was startled by Su Minglang's urgent cry. He turned around and saw Su Minglang staring at the thing in his hand with a nervous look on his face. "This fur..."

Su Minglang suppressed the urge to snatch it away and said, "The quality of this fur is average, and it's not well processed. If you like it, go to the storehouse and pick out a good one when you return to the palace."

"No need, madam." Xiao Ye put the fox fur back into Nan Xing's hand: "Actually, this servant doesn't like this kind of thing very much. I always think that the fur is best when it is still on the animal."

"Huh!" Su Minglang breathed a sigh of relief for some reason. After he was nervous, he realized how impulsive he was just now. The nervousness was almost written on his face.

"My lady?" Xiao Ye tilted his head and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

"That thing was given by the prince." Su Minglang thought about it and decided that he should tell her.

"Well, I know. When I meet the prince, I will go and thank him." Xiao Ye nodded and said with a strange expression.

"Cough!" Su Minglang coughed lightly, then waved to Nan Xing, who was standing beside him with a confused look on her face, to signal her to go out first.

"Xiao Ye, what do you think of the Prince of Yueyang Marquis?" Su Minglang was still a little worried. The storybook was full of such plots. An unknown girl was favored by a prominent family, and then a heart-wrenching and physically abusive love affair began. When Su Minglang thought that those clichéd plots might happen to Xiao Ye one day, he wanted to throw these broken things away.

"Prince?" Xiao Ye thought about it for a moment and shook her head, "I don't know, I have never seen him."

Su Minglang suddenly realized what she said. That's right! Xiao Ye had never met the Prince of Yueyang before. Even on the horse racing field that day, he had his back to him. How could he have any thoughts about someone he had never met?

She is so concerned that she is confused!

"But I don't know why the prince would send me such a gift." Xiao Ye looked at the pile of fur with some sadness. "These little guys were skinned and their tendons were taken out after they died. It's really pitiful."

"But why do you suddenly ask this, Madam?"

"Nothing." Su Minglang touched his nose, "Okay, it's getting late, let's go to bed quickly. You are all exhausted today, right?"

"I think horse riding is quite interesting. Your Majesty, can you take me there again tomorrow?" Xiao Ye said to Su Minglang with anticipation.

Su Minglang thought of what happened during the day and hurriedly shook his head, "Tomorrow, not tomorrow!"

"I have something to do tomorrow and can't accompany you. You can go to the shooting range with Nanxing tomorrow. I will go and give you instructions."

"Okay!" Xiao Ye wasn't sad knowing that he couldn't ride a horse. Thinking about how he almost couldn't get off the horse today, he realized that riding a horse was not suitable for him.

"But can you do it alone?" Xiao Ye asked worriedly.

"It's okay." Su Minglang shook his head. If it wasn't too conspicuous to go out now, Su Minglang would have wanted to take the doctor to the mountains right now.

Hopefully that guy can make it one more night.

Although she met him on the third day in her previous life and was found and brought here by the patrolling guards, too many things have happened in this life and she doesn't know if this series of changes will have any impact. What's more, Li Zhao is involved. Now she can only pray that everything goes well.

Seeing that Su Minglang didn't want to say more, Xiao Ye stopped asking. She took the water handed to her by Nan Xing and helped Su Minglang wash up, and then they went to bed early.

On the other side, in Xiao Heng's tent, Li Zhao handed a piece of broken fence to Xiao Heng.

"Your Majesty, the broken fence of the hunting ground was the main factor that allowed the wild wolves to enter."

"There have been no large animals in the enclosure. Perhaps that's why the wild wolves were attracted here. However..." He pointed at the broken part and said, "Your Majesty, look at the trace of the break here. Although the break of the fence is rough, if you look closely at the back half, it is still different from a natural break."

"I suspect someone may have deliberately enlarged the gap to lure wild animals into the forest."

"Has the forest been cleaned up?" Xiao Heng asked unhappily.

"I have already sent people to repair it, but it will take some time to search the forest for any signs of wild animals."

"Deal with it as quickly as possible!" Xiao Heng slammed the table, "Find out who did it. I want to know the exact name!"

"Yes!" Li Zhao knelt down to accept the order. He thought of the bloody man again, but when he thought of Su Minglang's promise, he swallowed the words back.

I hope Su Minglang didn't deceive me this time, otherwise I would have been badly hurt by her.

But who would have thought of doing this? This method is so secretive that it might not even work.

Li Zhao's mind kept flashing through face after face, but he couldn't get the answer he wanted from any of them.

Maybe that person will have the answer?
