Yuan Wei's Quick Travel

Chapter 448: Cannon Fodder in Stepmother's Story 20

Yuan Wei smiled slightly, as if she was not surprised by the result.

She winked mischievously and replied, "This is the result of my secret extra practice."

Yuan Xinyan looked at her expression and looked away with some discomfort.

It’s not that Yuan Xinkai’s face is that ugly, but the thought of a man using such a little girl’s expression is a little unacceptable to him.

But when I thought that this was my fifth sister, it seemed that there was nothing wrong with it.

Yuan Xinyan was very conflicted for a moment.

Thinking about what Yuan Wei said about extra training, he had been concentrating on reviewing his lessons during this period and had indeed not practiced riding and archery for a long time.

In this case, it is not surprising that he lost to the fifth sister.

"Are you a little stronger now?"

Yuan Xinyan recalled the scene when Yuan Wei blocked the arrow he shot, and clearly felt the tremendous strength displayed by Yuan Wei, which was even much greater than that of an ordinary man.

"Yes."

Yuan Wei simply responded without further explanation.

She knew very well that as long as she didn't speak up, Yuan Xinyan would definitely make up a reasonable excuse for her in his mind.

As Yuan Wei expected, after hearing her answer, Yuan Xinyan showed a thoughtful expression on his face, then nodded slightly and did not continue asking questions.

After a while, Yuan Xinyan looked up at the sky, pointed to a stream not far ahead, and said to Yuan Wei, "Should we go over there to rest for a while, or go back directly?"

Before they knew it, they had gone deep into the jungle and completely lost contact with other people.

It was obviously too late to go back for lunch at this time.

It would be better to use local materials here and make plans after filling your stomach.

Yuan Wei looked at the crystal clear stream and the dense woods around it, and thought it would be nice to take a rest here. She nodded and agreed to Yuan Xinyan's suggestion.

Although they said they were resting here, Yuan Wei and Yuan Xinyan didn't actually need to do anything.

The guards around them will naturally take care of everything.

Perhaps they had anticipated such a situation, as they brought a complete range of items, including not only various seasonings but also a full range of cookware.

What is even more surprising is that one of the guards in the team is from a family of royal chefs and his cooking skills are unparalleled.

Seeing this, Yuan Wei realized that she couldn't help much here, so she turned to Yuan Xinyan and said, "Brother, I want to go for a walk around the neighborhood."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Xinyan frowned slightly, a look of worry on his face, "Shall I go with you?"

Yuan Wei quickly shook her head, "No need, brother, I'll just walk around here, I won't go far."

Yuan Xinyan thought for a moment, then finally nodded in agreement, "Okay, but don't go too far."

The reason why he was so relieved was that the hunting ground would be cleared at this time every year and all the ferocious beasts would be driven out, so there shouldn't be any ferocious animals here.

Yuan Wei doesn't think so.

Although the hunting ground has been cleared, who can guarantee that no accidents will happen?

Otherwise, how could the prince have encountered an accident here?

They just met a blind bear!

And it’s not just a blind bear, but a family of three!

As for the specific details, the original owner actually didn't know much. She just heard that the prince was able to escape after encountering a blind bear and was protected by the guards.

But who could have imagined that they were chased again during their escape, and the prince was unfortunately shot to death by a stream.

The hunting ground was extremely vast, but there was only one stream in the north, and that stream was the one next to them.

The reason why Yuan Wei specially brought everyone here was to observe the environment in advance.

The prince will encounter an accident tomorrow. According to the direction they are heading, if he encounters the blind bear and escapes, he will be in danger again at this location.

Yuan Wei walked around the area, carefully examined the surrounding environment, and did not find anything special.

Just as she was about to turn around and go back to the stream, she suddenly caught a slight sound.

Yuan Wei's expression changed slightly, and she immediately quickened her pace and quickly walked under a big tree.

She jumped up lightly, like an agile cat, and stood steadily on the branch.

Then Yuan Wei looked down at the front from a high position.

Just then, the sound of horse hooves came from far away.

&34;Have a ride...call...&34;

With the shouts of the riders, a team loaded with prey stopped under the tree.

"Your Highness, the stream is just ahead. Should we take a short break there?"

One of the team asked the leading Third Prince for instructions.

The Third Prince nodded calmly, "Okay."

His voice is low and gentle, revealing a reserved temperament.

Recently, the third prince has been keeping a low profile.

Now, his image in front of the emperor and court officials has plummeted, making it impossible for him to be as flamboyant as before.

Especially when he felt the emperor's fierce gaze, the third prince felt as if a thorn was on his back and was very uncomfortable.

He knew very well that his father had doubts about him.

The third prince was not too worried about his father discovering his ambition.

As a prince, it is only natural for him to covet the supreme position.

As long as he did not take overly radical or inappropriate measures to fight for it, he firmly believed that his father would never be disgusted with him.

However, secretly meeting with the beauties in the harem is another matter entirely.

This is like plucking hair from a tiger's head, an extremely dangerous and stupid act.

The Third Prince is fully aware of the interests involved, so how could he act so rashly?

What kind of beauty has he not seen?

Why should I covet my father's woman?

He once explained this matter to his father, but now it seems that his father did not believe him.

This made the third prince feel extremely depressed and anxious, so much so that he now dared not set foot in the harem again.

But he didn't know that his actions were seen as a sign of guilty conscience in the eyes of the emperor.

The third prince had originally planned to completely eliminate the crown prince during this hunt.

But now, he has no time to take care of the prince. His every move is under the surveillance of his father. How could he do such a thing?

All he was thinking about now was how to perform well in front of his father and win back his trust and favor.

Although he is unable to personally implement the plan against the prince now, the arrangements he made before cannot be wasted.

The third prince sneered to himself.

As for the final result, it all depends on the prince's own luck.

Anyway, he had already dealt with all the evidence, and no matter how the investigation was done, it would be impossible to trace it back to him.
