Shen Chu and Jiang Fuling were soaked when they returned to Mingyue Village. They had a high fever that night. For the sake of their lives, they both spent their points to buy some antipyretics in the system mall that night. Otherwise, if the fever continued, their brains would be damaged.

The next day, they slept until noon.

Because they took antipyretics, they looked fine.

It was also because of this that Shen Chu and Jiang Fuling dared to open the door when Xu San came to the door.

The other party came here because he was bored and wanted to gossip with them.

After knowing the other party's purpose, Shen Chu did not refuse him entry and let him in.

"What gossip? Tell me about it."

She was holding a tea bowl in her hand, which contained hot tea that had cooled down a bit. She had just finished making tea and wanted to drink some hot tea to warm herself up.

Seeing Shen Chu's initiative, Xu San fanned himself with his feathers and slowly answered Shen Chu's question, "It is said that Taiping Mountain has been confined by His Majesty this year, in preparation for a big hunt next year. This year's hunt will be held at Longhu Mountain, right next to Qingxi Town."

"It's a pity that the spring hunt had already ended when we learned the news. Otherwise, we would have been able to see the Crown Prince's heroic figure."

He sounded emotional, as if he was looking forward to it.

Jiang Fuling understood after hearing this.

It is indeed spring hunting.

"Have the results of the spring hunt come out yet?"

Shen Chu asked.

"He's out. It's the Third Prince Xie Xuan. Originally, everyone was guessing who would take first place, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince or General Shang Xiao. But for some reason, both of them fell into the water and fainted on the shore, missing out on first place."

Shen Chu was slightly surprised. How could Xu San know so much?

"You know this as well?"

Xu San fanned them carelessly, his voice lazy, "I know, not only do I know this, I also know that they were unconscious for a whole day and night before waking up."

so long?

It seems that the attack was a bit heavy-handed.

But they deserved it.

After exchanging a glance with Jiang Fuling, Shen Chu asked one last question, "After they woke up, did they tell anyone who caused them to fall into the water?"

Hearing this question, Xu San spoke up, "The first thing the two did when they woke up was to issue a missing person notice nationwide, but they didn't mention who had murdered them."

"It's really scary, do you know who these two are looking for?"

Shen Chu clenched his fists, "Who?"

"Minister Shen's daughter, Shen Chu; and Minister Jiang's youngest daughter, Jiang Fuling."

After the words fell, Shen Chu and Jiang Fuling were dumbfounded.

After Xu San finished telling the gossip and left, Shen Chu and Jiang Fuling immediately began to pack up, planning to go somewhere to avoid the limelight.

Neither Shen Chu nor Jiang Fuling had expected that these two people would do such a thing.

Isn't it just a dream? Just wake up and pretend it never happened. What's the big deal about issuing a wanted notice for her?

Jiang Fuling was also speechless.

No, why would Shang Heng look for her? If he didn't look for her when she was alive, why would he look for her after she died?

"Let's go somewhere far away so we don't get caught."

"I agree with your opinion."

The two of them had the same idea, and after careful consideration, they decided to move to a small house in a remote mountain area.

She and Fuling bought that cottage when they first came here, but they had never lived in it.

Now it comes in handy.

-

Two distinguished guests came to the Third Prince’s residence today.

One of them was his younger brother, Crown Prince Xie Ming; the other was General Shang’s only son, Shang Heng.

The two arrived at the Third Prince's Mansion almost at the same time. Xie Xuan had guessed that these two would come to visit, but he did not expect that they would be so impatient and could not wait to come to him as soon as they woke up.

It's really scary.

"Didn't Your Highness and General Shang fall into the water and faint? It looks like you both just woke up. Why are you here?"

He pretended to be serious, but Xie Ming didn't buy it at all. He winked at the person beside him and said, "I heard that my royal brother has been very interested in jade recently. I wonder if this item can be exchanged with my royal brother for the rare treasure that my father gave him during the spring hunt yesterday?"

The guard who came with him took out a red wooden box. The lid of the box was carefully opened, and the contents inside were revealed.

It was a piece of blood jade of extremely fine quality. Judging from its size, it should be the blood jade that was auctioned for ten thousand taels of gold at the Treasure Pavilion in the capital some time ago.

He originally wanted to buy it, but the person who bought it raised the price. Even if the blood jade was of good quality and extremely beautiful, it was still not worth him spending ten thousand taels of gold on it.

There were not many people in the capital who could take out so much gold at once. At that time, Xie Xuan had guessed that it might be Xie Ming, but there was no evidence to prove that it was Xie Ming who took the blood jade, so Xie Xuan could only pretend that he knew nothing.

As a result, Xie Ming took out the thing just like that, in front of everyone, without any intention of hiding it.

While the person was still at the door, Xie Ming got straight to the point, clearly not wanting to dawdle and waste time.

But it wasn't just him who came, Shang Heng was also there. If Xie Xuan agreed like that, wouldn't that just destroy the little bit of friendship that he and Shang Heng had worked so hard to build up?

So Xie Xuan laughed and invited them in, "Your Highness and General Shang, if you have anything to say, please come in and talk. It's very windy outside."

He stepped forward and calmly closed the mahogany box that the guard had opened. He took Xie Ming's arm with his left hand and Shang Heng's arm with his right hand and forcibly pulled the two of them inside.

During this process, both of them had unhappy expressions, except for the third prince Xie Xuan who had a smile on his face the whole time.

If Xie Ming and Shang Heng had not fallen into the water, he would definitely not have been the winner of this year's spring hunt. However, Xie Ming and Shang Heng fell into the water. It was obvious that God was helping him.

In the hall, Xie Ming and Shang Heng sat on either side, while Xie Xuan sat at the main seat. He looked at the two men with a smile, "My father only gave me one rare treasure. If both His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and General Shang want it, what should I do?"

Xie Xuan's eyes swept back and forth between the two of them, wanting to know how they would fight for this rare treasure.

Shang Heng, who had practiced martial arts and swordsmanship since childhood, did not like beating around the bush and said directly, "Third Prince, please name a price."

It means I want to buy it directly.

After entering the hall, Xie Ming's face became increasingly gloomy, with an unresolved sullenness between his brows, as if he would quarrel with someone at any time. He did not ask for an offer like Shang Heng did, but simply said calmly, "What does my royal brother want? I can get it and exchange it with you."

He said it calmly, as if as long as Xie Xuan opened his mouth, he would be able to do it.

Xie Ming's self-confidence was something Xie Xuan had disliked since he was very young. Because Xie Ming's brilliance was too bright, he always looked inconspicuous when standing next to him, whether in the past or now.

Hearing this, Xie Xuan clenched his hands into fists, suppressing the resentment rising in his heart and trying hard to put on a smile. "This will offend His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's kindness. I don't have anything special to ask for right now."

Both of them had put forward their conditions, but Xie Xuan was not satisfied with any of them. These were not what he wanted.

Xie Ming, who was sitting in his seat, was playing with the tea bowl in his hand with some boredom. He said, "It seems that my brother should be..."

Before he could finish his words, a guard in black rushed in from outside the mansion and whispered something into Xie Ming's ear.

Xie Xuan didn't wait for the unfinished words. When Xie Ming spoke again, his tone was completely different. "If my royal brother really doesn't have what you want, then ask Liu Shaoqing's daughter. Maybe she has it."
