Dethroned the Crown Princess? Then she became your mother

On the other side, Murong Shuo got up early in the morning, announced the start of hunting, and rushed into the forest with a group of people.

As soon as they entered the forest, they rushed forward recklessly. Some people had already entered the forest in advance to drive away the prey.

Murong Shuo turned around and looked at the people following him.

Everyone who should come has already come.

He didn't choose to hunt close to home, nor did he go to the places he had hunted in the past few days. Instead, he continued to go deeper into the enclosure. The further he went, the more prey there were, and the more ferocious they became. But these prey were also divided into several parts.

"Your Majesty, there is some danger here." Someone warned.

Murong Shuo seemed not to hear it and just glanced at it indifferently.

"emperor."

After a while, someone came over on horseback and whispered something in Murong Shuo's ear. Murong Shuo turned to look at the guards beside him and gave a few instructions.

He waved his hand and charged forward once more. Everyone followed closely behind him. By the time they reached their designated location, they were already deep within the enclosure.

At this time, someone drove the prey over.

When the prey was driven over, everyone saw it and immediately dispersed to start hunting. Murong Shuo also rode his horse and led some people to the side. He was wearing a dark hunting outfit and soon spotted a fox.

He took aim with his bow and arrow, and released the string. At the same time, King Cheng arrived nearby.

Murong Shuo glanced at King Cheng, pondering. The men he had sent earlier had already investigated King Cheng's location, but hadn't found any useful information. There were also a few other people, and Murong Shuo glanced at them. He fired three arrows in quick succession, hitting three prey: a fox, a wolf, and a leopard.

But the leopard dodged the arrow nimbly.

Almost all the prey here are so ferocious.

"Long live the emperor! Long live the emperor!"

Some people rushed over to pick up the prey and cheered excitedly.

Murong Shuo, however, seemed to have not heard anything, continuing to focus on hunting. He was preoccupied with the Crown Prince and ignored the cheers. Soon, another person came to report the situation. Murong Shuo took a look and stopped shooting, allowing the others to continue hunting.

Time passed unnoticed, and the hunt lasted from morning to afternoon. When everyone was hungry, they would just eat something and then continue.

As the hunt drew to a close, Murong Shuo, though he hadn't encountered any particularly large prey, still had a good harvest. The same was true for the others. Two of the people who had come from the border had performed even better than he had.

Murong Shuo looked at the sky and rode his horse out of the enclosure.

At this moment, in the woods outside the enclosure, a man was waiting anxiously. This man was Eunuch An.

Eunuch An had been filled with worry since morning, constantly glancing up at the sky and then at the sun. He swung his whisk in his hand, wondering when the Emperor would return.

He felt that the emperor should be back soon, because the emperor had said before that he would be back today.

But he had gone to the enclosure early in the morning and had not returned yet. Not even a shadow of him had been seen. No one had been sent back to report the situation. Eunuch An was very worried and wondered how the emperor was doing.

He became even more worried when he thought of what the emperor had said to him yesterday and the emperor's plans and thoughts. Even though the emperor had made very careful arrangements, he could not be completely relieved.

He was afraid that the emperor would be attacked by an assassin like the crown prince!

He wanted to follow the emperor to the enclosure, but the emperor would not let him go. He wanted to go but there was no other way but to stay here and keep an eye on the people in the enclosure and continue to track down the assassin's whereabouts.

The only thing he can do is to find the assassin, but until now he has not found any clues or suspects.

Your Majesty!

Speaking of which, His Majesty's sudden announcement this morning that he would continue the autumn hunt and even led his men into the woods to hunt had truly caught everyone by surprise. Eunuch An secretly speculated on the Emperor's intentions and plans...

Everyone thought that it would take some time to reveal the answer.

After all, the assassination of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is still a mystery.

However, all this did not seem to cause much waves.

Deep in the palace, the thoughts of the women were as unpredictable as the fluttering catkins in spring.

The Empress seemed to have summoned several concubines for a private conversation. The topic was unclear. Was it related to Concubine Liang? People secretly speculated, perhaps.

In fact, the Queen and several concubines were indeed discussing the matter of Concubine Liang.

The Queen Mother, the elderly and venerable one, did not step out of the palace today.

She was not feeling well and had taken medicine, but woke up around noon, feeling dispirited. It was not until much later that she learned that the emperor had gone hunting again.

Even so, she was powerless to say more.

The Emperor has gone away, pursuing the endless joy of the hunt.

The Queen Mother was secretly worried, but could not express it in words. She could only wait for the Emperor to return, and after the hunting was over, she would tell him everything in detail.

Time flies, and it is almost dusk. The emperor may be returning soon.

She looked out the window, her mind full of thoughts.
