After the marriage, the abstinent prince turned me on

Qinghe responded quickly and took out an exquisite small jade box from the bag she was carrying.

"Shuang'er still loves me." Jiang Yulian took the jade box and said with a smile.

Jiang Yulian was a thoughtful and observant person. She noticed that Xie Mishuang had been protecting her belly intentionally or unintentionally. She was moved and asked in a low voice, "Shuang'er, you are not... pregnant, are you?"

Xie Mishuang quickly made a silent gesture and whispered, "Don't make any noise for now."

Jiang Yulian's eyes widened immediately, and she said in surprise, "Oh, okay, okay, let's go into the tent and rest for a while."

Xie Mishuang smiled and shook his head: "I just rested for a while, and now I want to go out and relax, how about you accompany me?"

"Okay, leave this matter to me. I will definitely escort the Crown Prince to safety." Jiang Yulian patted his chest and promised, with a hint of sarcasm in his tone.

Feng Zihan, who was hiding behind a tent, heard the conversation between the two clearly. A sinister light flashed in her eyes. It turned out that Xie Mishuang was pregnant, and it seemed that she had not told the male protagonist about it. She had to seize this opportunity.

Jiang Yulian accompanied Xie Mishuang for a slow walk in the paddock. The two talked and laughed, looking very comfortable.

"Jiang Yulian, so you have been hiding here and being lazy. I will report this matter to the emperor later and deduct your military points." A slightly frivolous voice suddenly came from behind.

Jiang Yulian looked back and saw Yan Yunfei wearing silver armor, riding on a tall horse, looking at her with a smile.

Jiang Yulian rolled her eyes and said unhappily, "Yan Yunfei, don't go too far. I have an important job right now and I don't have time to argue with you."

Yan Yunfei jumped off his horse, walked up to Jiang Yulian, reached out and brushed the strands of hair off his forehead, and said arrogantly, "I am your instructor now and have the right to restrict all your behavior."

Jiang Yulian looked at Yan Yunfei, who looked like he deserved a beating, and really wanted to punch him in the handsome face.

Xie Mishuang looked at the two bickering, as if they were a pair of bickering lovers, and couldn't help but lower her head and smile.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yulian pulled Xie Mishuang behind her, straightened her back, and said righteously, "Yan Yunfei, look carefully, this is the current Crown Princess. I have been ordered to escort the Crown Princess. How dare you disrespect the Crown Princess?"

Only then did Yan Yunfei notice Xie Mishuang behind Jiang Yulian. He looked her up and down and almost forgot about Brother Jing's woman. She was indeed very beautiful. No wonder Brother Jing was so fond of her.

Seeing him like this, Jiang Yulian was immediately enraged. She blocked his view and shouted, "Yan Yunfei, what are you doing? You're just staring at her. She's the Crown Princess. You're so bold! Be careful that the Crown Prince finds out and has you chop off your head!"

Yan Yunfei was amused by her words. He made a face at Jiang Yulian, turned around and left in a leisurely manner.

Jiang Yulian looked at his back as he left and then breathed a sigh of relief.

Xie Mishuang couldn't help but feel a little funny when watching the two people bickering. Jiang Yulian and Yan Yunfei are really a pair of happy enemies.

Soon, the emperor and the empress arrived in their best attire, surrounded by the crowd, and Xie Mishuang and Jiang Yulian also returned to the hunting site.

At this moment, the paddock was bustling with colorful flags flying and the noise of people talking.

Eunuch Huai's sharp voice echoed across the empty enclosure, announcing the hunting rules: "This hunt will be attended by the crown princes and princes. The top three finishers will receive prizes of varying values. The time limit is set at two incense sticks. Female members of the family may rest in the tents."

As soon as he finished speaking, a soldier held up a red flag, indicating that the hunting competition officially began.

The next moment, more than a dozen horses rushed out of the starting point like arrows and galloped towards the distant forest. The sound of horse hooves, shouts, and whips intertwined together and resounded through the sky.

Xie Mishuang's eyes followed Ouyang Jing's figure closely, but a sense of unease surged in her heart. In her previous life, Ouyang Jing had died during this hunt because of her scheme.

Now, although Ouyang Jing should not encounter any more accidents without her plan, the uneasy feeling in her heart still lingers.

At this moment, Xie Mishuang felt several malicious gazes falling on her. She looked around vigilantly and soon met the eyes of Xie Chuxue in the crowd.

Xie Chuxue had a sinister smile on her lips, and her eyes were as vicious and cruel as a poisonous snake spitting out its tongue.

Xie Mishuang's heart trembled. Could it be that Xie Chuxue was secretly plotting something to harm Ouyang Jing?

Thinking of this, Xie Mishuang didn't dare to delay any longer. She immediately turned back to the tent and ordered Qing He: "Go and invite General Jiang over quickly. I have something important to discuss with you."

Qing He took the order and left, and soon brought Jiang Yulian in.

Xie Mishuang stepped aside and told Jiang Yulian about his uneasiness. He also described the vicious look in Xie Chuxue's eyes when he and Xie Chuxue looked at each other just now.

Jiang Yulian's brow furrowed slightly after hearing this, but she quickly regained her composure and comforted Xie Mishuang, "Your Highness, the Crown Prince is blessed by heaven and will be safe. Besides, the hunting grounds are heavily guarded this time, so even if something unexpected happens, it will be discovered in time. The Emperor also has an imperial physician accompanying him, so just relax and focus on your pregnancy. Don't disturb the fetus."

Although Jiang Yulian's words were plain, they carried a reassuring power, and Xie Mishuang's originally anxious mood gradually calmed down.

Xie Mishuang was comforted by Jiang Yulian's words. She slowly sat down and gently stroked her lower abdomen with her hand.

As time passed, the atmosphere in the tent became more and more solemn.

The two incense sticks in the incense burner were almost burned out, and Xie Mishuang's heart was in his throat.

"Maybe I'm really worrying too much..." Xie Mishuang murmured softly, trying to convince himself.

However, just as he finished speaking, a soldier covered in blood stumbled in front of the Emperor and Empress, fell to his knees with a thud, and said in a trembling voice: "Report... Report to Your Majesty, something bad has happened, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince... His Royal Highness the Crown Prince... is missing!"

"What?!" Xie Mishuang, who was sitting in the tent, also heard the sound. He was suddenly struck by lightning, his eyes went dark, and he almost fainted.

"What did you say?!" The emperor's majestic voice came from outside the tent.

The Queen's face was filled with worry, while the Emperor's expression was terribly gloomy.

"What's going on? Why did the prince disappear?!" the emperor shouted, his voice full of anxiety and anger.

The soldier trembled with fear, buried his head deep in the ground, and said in a trembling voice, "Reply...Reply to the Emperor, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was chasing a white fox when he suddenly...suddenly disappeared. We...we searched for a long time but couldn't find him..."
