Everyone crowded around to ask what happened.

Officials from the Great Yan Dynasty asked, "How is the Crown Prince? Is he injured? What about the First Prince and the others?..."

The Chu Yue people asked, "Where is our princess? Is our princess injured? Why are only you returning?..."

The people from Da Jiang, who were being squeezed to the side, said: "It's us Da Jiang people who are injured now. Can you... alright, we also want to ask how our Second Prince is? Is he injured?"

Zhang Qi: Doesn't anyone care about my injuries?

The guards who came back with me were chattering in my ears, but I couldn't hear what they were saying or know who to answer.

Fortunately, Zhang Qi's men remained rational. "Everyone, please make way. Guard Zhang is seriously injured and we need to treat him first. The Second Prince and the Crown Prince are unharmed and will be coming out soon."

"What about our princess? How is she?" asked the Chu Yue people.

Blocked by someone, the person had to answer first, "We went separately and didn't encounter Princess Chu Yue. I believe they should be alright."

As soon as he finished speaking, the people behind him saw Princess Chu Yue's entourage and the First Prince's men come out together.

Everyone rushed forward to offer their concern.

Zhang Qi's men finally had a chance to carry him into the tent, and at the same time sent someone to fetch the imperial physician.

Zhang Qi had already fainted by this point, otherwise he wouldn't be so quiet.

Princess Chu Yue only learned after being shown concern by her subordinates that something had happened to someone on Prince Jiang's side.

The eldest prince knew in his heart that something bad was bound to happen, but he pretended not to know and asked in surprise, "Who was in trouble? How is the Crown Prince?"

Although he secretly hoped that the Crown Prince would get into trouble and disappear, he still had to show concern and brotherly affection on the surface.

A guard replied, "The Crown Prince is fine; it was Second Prince Jiang's bodyguard, Zhang, who got into trouble!"

"what?"

The eldest prince blurted out, his tone extremely anxious.

Realizing he had overreacted, he quickly explained, "I was worried about everyone. How did Guard Zhang get injured?"

"Where are the Crown Prince and the others?"

After asking, the eldest prince realized something was amiss and then inquired about the crown prince's situation.

The guard replied, "We encountered a large black bear. While fighting the bear, Guard Zhang accidentally fell into a trap and injured his leg and foot while trying to escape the bear."

After the guards answered everyone's questions, the Crown Prince, the Second Prince Jiang, Murong Xiao, and others appeared not far from the exit of the hunting grounds.

A group of people rushed forward to check on their masters, and at the same time they saw the carcass of the large black bear that the guards were carrying behind them.

Everyone who saw the huge black bear was speechless with astonishment.

The eldest prince stepped forward and asked with concern, "Are your third brother and uncle alright?"

Then he looked at Jiang Qiyun and said, "Second Prince Jiang, I'm sorry you were frightened. Your guard Zhang has been taken to the best imperial physician, who will do his best to cure him."

Jiang Qiyun nodded, "Thank you, Your Highness."

Then he went to see Prime Minister Xiao to see if Zhang Qi's leg was beyond cure.

At this moment, Eunuch Mu, who was by the Emperor's side, came over and invited the Crown Prince and Murong Xiao to the Emperor's tent, as he had something to ask them.

Murong Xiao nodded to Qin Wanyou, telling her to go and rest first, and that he would be back soon.

Qin Wanyou gave Murong Xiao a reassuring look.

The eldest prince wanted to go, but was stopped by Eunuch Mu. "Your Highness, the Emperor only summoned the Crown Prince and Prince An. Please wait a moment before going."

The eldest prince felt a lump in his throat, but he understood what his father-in-law meant. "Alright, thank you for reminding me, Father-in-law."

Eunuch Mu said nothing more and followed the Crown Prince and Murong Xiao away.

The eldest prince clenched his fist and turned around.

Seeing Qin Wanyou standing in the afterglow of the setting sun in her red dress, her extraordinary temperament made her seem to be glowing.

This is Qin Wanyou!

The eldest prince was amazed and was about to ask a question.

But Qin Wanyou turned and left without even glancing at him.

The eldest prince made a gesture behind him, as if to call out, but seemed to have nothing to say.

When Qin Mingzhu came out from behind and saw this scene, she was furious. Her eyes were blazing with anger as she glared at Qin Wanyou's back as if she wanted to burn her to ashes.

Seeing Qin Mingzhu's reaction, Fu Yingying smiled and said, "Consort Qin, how about we cooperate?"
