Mother, I have returned to the throne.

"What are you standing there for? Go!"

"Can you move faster? Others have already caught countless prey, but we still have nothing!"

"Song Yuan, can you please hurry up? You've come this far without even seeing any prey. It's all your fault!"

Along the way, Song Yuan felt extremely tormented.

I don’t know who it is, but he is so unlucky.

In short, the two of them teamed up and ran for more than ten miles. There was no movement around them, whether in the sky or on the ground.

Hunting hunting.

There's not even any prey here, so what's the point of fighting?

Even Situ Jing, who was a martial arts expert and considered himself the best in the world, couldn't help but feel anxious when faced with this scene.

On the way, he kept urging Song Yuan, as if he was a punching bag.

Song Yuan's anger grew stronger. It was all Old Deng's fault. If it weren't for his arrangement, how could he have suffered like this?

But on second thought, Song Yuan suddenly realized something was wrong.

its not right!

This royal hunting ground was prepared early on. If there were too few prey, new prey would be sent in advance.

Otherwise, the emperor personally went around for half a circle and didn’t see a single hair. Wouldn’t you have made His Majesty unhappy?

The situation I am facing today is definitely not as simple as encountering an evil spirit.

After hesitating for a long time, Song Yuan couldn't help but think of a possibility. Could it be that someone did it on purpose?

correct!

The emperor had previously specifically ordered that no birds should be shot. What did he mean by this?

Thinking of Song Youji's previous behavior, Song Yuan's heart skipped a beat and his pupils dilated.

That cheap old man is really capable!

First, he used a few short sentences to stir up everyone's desire to win, and then made arrangements in advance and ordered people to take action in this royal hunting ground!

If I'm not mistaken, what happened to the two of them is not an isolated case. I'm afraid no one has encountered any prey so far!

The old emperor had already ordered his men to clear away the prey, so it would be a miracle if we could see anything!

This old fellow clearly wanted to use this move to test the loyalty of the princes under his command.

It seems that anyone who has any evil intentions for the sake of victory will be in big trouble!

"Thinking about it this way, isn't that cheap old man cheating me? Deliberately telling Situ Jing that there will be a punishment if she loses, isn't this forcing the silly girl to commit a crime?"

In just a moment, Song Yuan realized that his cheap father had clearly dug a big hole for him!

Looking at how anxious Situ Jing is now, he probably wants to shoot the horse he is riding!

"There's movement!"

Situ Jing, who was walking in front, suddenly screamed. This sudden change made Song Yuan frown.

what's the situation?

Could it be that I guessed wrong?

But when a few people approached, they saw the prey in the grass, with an arrow in its neck, clearly lying on the ground.

Song Yuan's whole body was shocked!

Isn't this clearly throwing bait in front of a black carp that has been hungry for several days?

Song Youji first cleared the area of ​​prey, and then ordered people to release the prey that had been shot in secret.

The rules of this hunt had been clearly stated by Song Youji before: the beast must be killed by the prince himself!

If anyone uses these dead prey to impersonate others, it will be like a fish taking the bait!

Cast yourself in the net!

"No one is allowed to touch this prey!"

Seeing Wang Chao Ma Han beside me rubbing his hands and walking forward, I was ready to lift the prey onto the horse's back.

Song Yuan suddenly stretched out his hands and blocked the two of them.

After these words were spoken, Wang Chao and Ma Han could only stare blankly.

"Your Highness, if you don't even want the prey that's delivered to your door, are we just going to sit there and wait for defeat?"

"I said no, and I said no. Father said before that only kills by oneself count. This prey is clearly dead. Is impersonating someone else the right thing for a prince to do?"

Song Yuan was very happy that his subordinates knew that they were worried about him.

But Song Yuan was very dissatisfied with the little tricks in the two's minds!

What was even more frustrating was that Song Yuan was not sure if there were other people around. Even though he had seen through Song Youji's plan, he did not dare to tell him openly!

"You're not such a wimp!"

However, what Song Yuan did not expect was that Situ Jing also agreed with him on this matter.

After just a glance at the prey, Situ Jing jumped on the horse.

How could a girl as proud as him be interested in the prey hunted by others?

"Aren't you afraid that our father will punish us both?"

Song Yuan was a little surprised, and immediately chased after him, deliberately provoking him with words.

Situ Jing was stunned for a moment, then raised her eyebrows: "People from the Zhennan Palace have always been willing to lose face rather than battle. At worst, I will personally accept the punishment when the time comes. In short, I will not do anything foolish!"

Song Yuan nodded secretly in his heart, at least he found one good point in Situ Jing.

This girl has a bad temper and isn't very smart, but at least she has some basic persistence!

"Oh, that's so annoying!"

But Song Yuan's affirmation did not last long. As time went by, Situ Jing gradually became uneasy.

Along the way, apart from a few dead prey, the two of them didn't encounter a single living thing!

"It's all your fault. Don't follow me anymore. I think you're a jinx. I've never had anything good happen to me while I'm around you!"

"From now on, you and I will act separately. Once your influence is gone, let's see how I perform!"

"no……"

Situ Jing suddenly started complaining to Song Yuan, then pulled the reins and rode away without giving Song Yuan a chance to explain.

Looking at Situ Jing's receding back, Song Yuan narrowed his eyes.

Even rabbits will bite when they are cornered.

Is Situ Jing going to make a mistake?

As if to verify Song Yuan's guess, only half an hour later, accompanied by the sound of horse hooves, Situ Jing, who had left earlier, returned with a full load!

After just a short while, there were already two sika deer and a lot of rabbits on Situ Jing's horse!

"Look, I've already said it before. If you weren't a burden, I wouldn't have lost!"

"Did you catch all these?" Song Yuan asked with his eyes narrowed.

Situ Jing's eyes flickered. "What do you mean? Are you questioning my ability?"

Seeing that the other party was still trying to be stubborn, Song Yuan was too lazy to pretend. He walked forward and pulled out the arrow from the neck of the dead prey.

Seeing Song Yuan's action, Situ Jing's face turned red.

Song Yuan turned around and said meaningfully, "Then explain to me, how could the blood in this animal be drained out in just half an hour?"

"You said you caught him, so you must know the reason..."

"I... okay, I admit it, I don't want to lose!"

Faced with Song Yuan's repeated pressure, Situ Jing finally lowered her head.

"Your Majesty once said, 'A tiger father will have a dog son.' I don't mind my own humiliation, but no matter what, I absolutely cannot let my dead father be humiliated by this!"

What else can be said?

Song Yuan originally wanted to take this opportunity to teach Situ Jing a lesson, but he didn't expect the other party to admit it directly and give such a reason.

In this case, Situ Jing's behavior can be considered excusable.

Song Yuan pursed his lips, but ultimately did not say a word of reprimand.

However, when Song Yuan turned around, he immediately waved to Wang Chao Ma Han behind him and gave an order.

"Unload the prey and throw it into the bushes. I've said it before, we didn't kill any of them ourselves, so we won't take any of them. Even if we lose, at least we must lose with honor. In short, this thing can't be faked!"

"Your Highness!"

Wang Chao Ma Han panicked when he heard this: "Your Highness, you are now in the limelight, and those princes are waiting to see you laugh at them. If they take advantage of this opportunity to kick you when you are down, His Majesty will definitely punish you!"

"In my opinion, we should first find a way to deal with this problem. Bottom line, bottom line. Trouble is trouble!"

"Don't you two understand what I'm saying? Do you want me to repeat it a second time?" Song Yuan had no intention of changing his mind at all. Instead, he urged in a stronger tone.

"Principles are principles, and they can never be changed! Once principles are transcended, what else can't be done?"

"Due to your two loyalties, I will not pursue this matter further. However, hurry up and unload these prey. Anyone who dares to say another word will be asked to resign upon their return. I cannot keep such people in my Prince's Palace!"
