The four Song brothers rode their horses to the hunting grounds, their eyes falling on their fifth sister. They had been arguing about who should lead her, but now, seeing Chu Junting beside her, they suddenly realized that all their previous arguments had been in vain.

"Wait for me a moment," Song Ruozhen said to Chu Junting.

Chu Junting nodded, the corners of his lips curving upwards revealing his good mood. Although he knew that Song Ruozhen wouldn't bring up traveling with him for no reason, as long as they could travel together, that was enough.

"Brothers, you'll go in the direction I'm telling you later, understand?"

"I've remembered everything, Fifth Sister, don't worry."

Song Zhiyu nodded. Although he didn't understand why his fifth sister wanted him to go to a specific place, he listened to whatever she said.

Song Yi'an knew that her younger sister must have a deeper meaning in making such arrangements, and asked, "Is there anything we should be aware of?"

"You must seize this incredible fortune today," Song Ruozhen said with a smile.

Song Yanzhou was very curious, "What wealth? Could it be that there are ferocious beasts roaming over there?"

"There will be assassins lying in ambush in the mountains later. Their target is the Second Prince. I will find a way to lure the First Prince there. When the First Prince is in danger, you all need to find a way to save both the First Prince and the Second Prince. Do you understand?"

Song Ruozhen blinked. Qin Shuangshuang saved one person back then, and now their Song family is simply saving two.

Although the Second Prince was not a good person, the Song family's contributions were still doubled!

Upon hearing this, the four members of the Song family stared wide-eyed at Song Ruozhen in disbelief. They could understand each word she said individually, but how could they not understand it when they put them together?

Fifth Sister not only knew there were assassins lying in ambush, but she also knew exactly where they were lying in ambush!

If one didn't know about their fifth sister's abilities, they might have thought the assassin was arranged by her!

"Fifth Sister, I don't understand. Since you knew the Second Prince would be attacked, why did you still lead the First Prince there? Wouldn't that make things even more dangerous?"

Song Yanzhou frowned deeply. What kind of strange move was this?

"It's killing two birds with one stone! Saving one is the same as saving two, so of course saving two is more worthwhile! Won't you get promoted faster that way too?"

Song Ruozhen's eyes were clear, and she spoke as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

Song Yanzhou: "???"

Song Yi'an: "..."

Song Zhiyu and Song Jingshen: "!!! Fifth sister, you are so smart!"

"Brother, don't think about informing us in advance. Although this is one of your responsibilities, nothing has happened yet. If we tell others, it will only make people suspect that we are involved."

Song Ruozhen looked at Song Yanzhou, knowing that her older brother's upright and incorruptible nature couldn't be allowed to act stubbornly at a time like this.

"Fifth sister, don't worry, your eldest brother knows what the best course of action is and will certainly not let you down."

Song Yanzhou had a bright smile. Some people had said that he was too rigid and easily broken, but after experiencing so much, his personality had long since changed.

This is indeed a good opportunity.

If they could save the two princes, the Song family's status would undoubtedly be elevated.

"Hide well then, don't let anyone find out. There might be suspicious people lurking nearby," Song Ruozhen said.

"Don't worry, we understand."

After explaining the matter, Song Ruozhen was completely relieved. Her brothers were both smart people, and with her eldest and second eldest brothers around, they were able to handle any unexpected events.

All she had to do was find a way to lure the eldest prince over there.

Chu Junting watched from afar as the four Song brothers looked on in astonishment after Song Ruozhen finished speaking, a playful glint in his eyes.

Ruozhen's secret... is truly extraordinary.

As Song Ruozhen nimbly mounted her horse, she and Chu Junting rode into the mountains together.

During this time, Song Ruozhen kept an eye on the direction the eldest prince had left in. It wasn't until they went deep into the mountains that Song Ruozhen witnessed Chu Junting's unerring accuracy with his arrows.

Despite being an extremely fast-running wild animal, it had no chance of escaping from him.

The arrow, once unleashed, was fatal.

Seeing the astonishment in Song Ruozhen's eyes, Chu Junting smiled, his deep gaze fixed on her, "Did you like me a little bit today?"

Song Ruozhen: "???"

How can anyone answer something so direct?

"Your Highness, is this how you usually woo girls?" Song Ruozhen asked in return.

"No." Chu Junting shook his head. "I have never pursued any other girl. The only one I have ever liked is you."

Hearing these seductive words, Song Ruozhen unconsciously turned to look at him. "Such a smooth talker doesn't seem like someone who has no experience."

"So you don't like my glib tongue? Or could you give me some pointers on what kind of person you like, and I'll try my best to improve."

Chu Junting's casual and carefree demeanor was tinged with a hint of seriousness, as if he intended to study diligently as Song Ruozhen had instructed.

Song Ruozhen couldn't help but say, "If you really change it as I say, wouldn't you no longer be yourself?"

"Isn't it only natural to make some changes for someone you like? It's just that I'm making some changes, but I will never change."

"All I care about now is whether you like me or not."

The man's gentle voice seemed to possess a bewitching power, causing Song Ruozhen to blush unconsciously.

She had many suitors, and there had been many bold and passionate confessions, but it must be said that these words coming from the mouth of the man in front of her were truly impactful.

It's hard not to be tempted.

"Ahem..." Song Ruozhen coughed lightly, feeling her cheeks getting hot, and changed the subject, "Actually, I have something I want to tell you."

Chu Junting nodded. "I guessed it. You specially invited me to come along today, and you also wanted to follow the direction my eldest brother left in. Is it because you have something you want to discuss with me but don't know how to bring it up?"

Song Ruozhen was slightly taken aback. She hadn't mentioned it the whole way, but she never expected Chu Junting to be so observant. He even noticed that she was deliberately following the direction the First Prince was in.

"You can trust me, no matter what."

Chu Junting's deep, captivating eyes were full of seriousness, and his words were like a promise, giving people a sense of reassurance.

"Actually, I did a divination. Today's hunting competition is not so simple. The Second Prince will be attacked, so I arranged for my brother to go and rescue him."

Song Ruozhen spoke slowly, observing Chu Junting's reaction.

When Chu Junting heard this, he was somewhat surprised, but then he thought of Song Ruozhen's abilities and understood a bit.

However, this matter is clearly not that simple.

"Since it was the Second Prince who got into trouble, and you arranged for Yan Zhou and the others to rescue him, this matter should be over. But you specifically asked me to accompany the First Prince. There must be another deeper meaning behind this?" Chu Junting asked.

Song Ruozhen nodded, "I heard... that you have a good relationship with the First Prince?"

I originally intended to discuss this matter with you first, but since you arrived a bit late, I made some decisions ahead of time.
