It's getting faster, there's no answer.

Xiao Yu crossed the fire guards and the crowds and saw the prince sitting there—

He hasn't played with his father for a long time.

He was so happy that his father brought him to hunt this time.

He thought about a lot of things, and wanted to ride a horse with his father, draw bows and shoot arrows together, chase prey in the forest together, sleep on the ground together, and look at the stars in the sky together-

But in fact there is nothing.

He could only look at his father from a distance, and his father didn't have time to look at him.

"——Young Master, what are you holding?" Eunuch Zhu received the hint from Eunuch Qi's eyes and realized it. He smiled and looked at the bamboo tube in his hand, "Is it a gift to Your Highness the Crown Prince?"

Xiao Yu took a step back, hugged the bamboo tube tightly in his arms, and shook his head: "No, this is my toy."

After saying that, he turned around and walked away.

Eunuch Zhu looked at Eunuch Qi in shock. Eunuch Qi looked helpless at him and turned around to follow Xiao Yu.

The children were like this, and Eunuch Zhu didn't care. He turned around and hurried back to serve the prince. This delay made those little bastards take the opportunity to grab his place.

Xiao Yu rushed into the luxury camp with a bamboo tube in his arms.

The thick curtains hung down to isolate the noise and the luxurious tents were decorated with light incense, with only a few women among them.

The princess sitting in the middle was lying down and sewing something, but the needle and thread in her hand had not moved for a long time, and the palace maid next to her seemed to have not seen it.

The tent is like a painting, beautiful and solidified.

Xiao Yu rushed in and teared the picture.

"Yu'er." The Crown Princess hurriedly reached out and smiled under the lamp.

Xiao Yu ran over with a bamboo tube in his arms and was about to throw himself into his mother's arms. The palace maid next to him hurriedly reminded him "Be careful."

The Crown Princess then realized that she was still holding needles and thread in her hand, and almost poked Xiao Yu. She hurriedly smiled and put down: "I'm making you a pair of socks."

As a princess, she doesn't need to do needlework, but the princess has always been accustomed to making close-fitting clothes for the prince and his son.

In fact, the mother had nothing to do except needlework and threading. Xiao Yu was a child and could also guess this conclusion. Her father married her mother and asked her to be the crown princess, but she did not have much enthusiasm for her mother. Her father liked to be with the riding and shooting officers and other women in the East Palace. Those women could drink, sing, dance and have fun without restraint - the mother's identity is not suitable for doing such things.

My mother is like a decoration in the East Palace, just sit steadily.

But my mother is a human being.

So the emperor's grandfather asked him to live in the palace to study, and he didn't really want to go there.

"I want to be with my mother," he said.

But my mother was both amused and angry: "What are you doing with me? Your eldest grandson, if you want to study, even if you want to accompany you, you will be with Your Majesty."

The mother stroked his head gently and expectantly.

"Yu'er, the glory of your mother's life is all about you."

The little child probably understood that his mother did not need his company, she only needed him to bring glory.

"What is this?" the princess looked at the bamboo tube in her son's arms and asked curiously.

Xiao Yu hurriedly put the bamboo tube behind him: "It's the treasure I found."

The Crown Princess smiled and didn't want to see it anymore. With so many eunuchs and guards around her, he wouldn't have any problems with what he had to eat, use and play.

"I've been out for a day today, are you happy?" the princess asked with a smile, looking at her son's red face, and her hair and clothes were stained with dust and grass leaves.

It is completely different from being in the palace.

Although you can't practice martial arts like the prince, you still have to learn how to ride and archery to strengthen your body.

"This time you hunt, you have to hunt some prey and go back to give it to the emperor's grandfather." The Crown Princess said, "When your uncle was as old as you, he not only read well, but also rode and archer-"

In the past, Xiao Yu liked to listen to her uncle's story, but today, the Crown Princess said, Xiao Yu yawned: "Mother, I'm sleepy."

The Crown Princess hurriedly stopped the topic and stroked her son's face: "You're tired after running for a day." She looked up and called out, "Send Yu'er to wash and let him sleep."

The palace maid and Eunuch Qi both responded quickly.

Xiao Yu stood up, and did not forget to hold the bamboo tube and follow the palace maid, Eunuch Qi, to the end, and turned around and asked, "Mom, will my uncle come to see me tomorrow?"

The Crown Princess looked at the expectation in her son's eyes, felt very guilty, and nodded vigorously: "Yes, surely, he will. He will go to your third uncle's literary meeting today, and he will come tomorrow. There is no way. You also know that your uncle is talented and everyone knows it. He will not be able to go to the literary meeting, but he is both civil and military, so he will have to come to your father's hunting meeting tomorrow to show his skills."

Speaking of this, I smiled again and squeezed at my son.

"He also prepared a gift for Yu'er, a bow he made himself, and asked me to hide it from you and give you a surprise. I'll tell you secretly, you'll have to pretend you don't know."

Xiao Yu's eyes were full of smiles and nodded happily: "I can do it, mother, don't worry, I will definitely not let my uncle see it!"

The child turned around and jumped away for a few times.

Seeing his son walking out, the smile on the face of the Crown Princess dissipated and she called the palace maid: "Go, let someone go to see Yan Fang immediately now, and let him come tomorrow no matter what. Tell him that I have already promised a gift to Yu'er for him."

The palace maid responded and turned around and went out.

The capital city was closed at night, but it was nothing to the prince's people.

Two guards surrounded the two eunuchs and soon came to the city gate from the hunting ground in the distance.

The city gates were brightly lit in the night, and you could see the patrol guards passing by on it.

They appeared under the city gate and were immediately discovered by the guards.

"Open the door."

Without waiting for the city gate to question, the eunuch in charge shouted loudly.

"Empress of the Eastern Palace."

After shouting this, the eunuch ignored the city gate on duty and turned to speak to the eunuch beside him: "I will see the third young master later, so stay here, and go together tomorrow-"

Another eunuch nodded, and then couldn't help but look at the city gate. According to the convention, when he heard the words "Empress Eunuch" in the East Palace, the city gate would immediately open, and the city gate general would greet him respectfully—

But, the door-

His gaze looked over, the tall and heavy city gate was closed and motionless. What's going on? Didn't you hear it? His gaze looked up, and just as he was about to open his mouth and shout again, he saw a group of soldiers appear, holding a crossbow in his hands—

At the moment when the sight collided with the crossbow, a buzzing sound cut through the night sky and cold lights flew over.

Neither the two guards under the city gate could react and let out a scream and fell from the horse's back. The next moment, more arrows fell like rain.

.....

.....

In the capital city behind the deep walls, in the Xie family's house, the sleeping Mr. Xie suddenly opened his eyes.

The black shadows were shaking outside the tent, and the voices were low and urgent.
