C262 Was it him?

Was it him?

Xuanyuan Chen's gaze followed the direction of the silver needle that Xie Qingrong had shot out, and just happened to hit the grey rabbit's heart. The grey rabbit's body twitched a few times before falling to the ground.

Xie Qingrong easily caught a wild hare, as if she was in a very good mood. The corner of her mouth slightly raised, and laughed: "The lunch today looked pretty good."

Shen Haoxuan looked at Xie Qingrong with admiration. He didn't sense any trace of wild rabbits nearby and didn't expect that Xie Qingrong would actually prepare today's lunch so easily. The admiration in his heart gradually deepened.

He walked forward, and without caring about anything, he picked up the grey rabbit's ears and followed behind Xie Qingrong.

Shang Zhiqing looked around and found a few edible red fruits. She picked some and returned to the place where Xie Qingrong had cooked.

The grey hare's fur had already been cleaned and placed on a branch. A raging fire was burning beneath the hare.

Shang Zhiqing wiped the red fruits clean and divided it among Xie Qingrong, Shen Haoxuan and Xuanyuan Chen.

Xie Qingrong received the fruit and immediately recognized that this was a fruit that only appeared in the tropics. She did not immediately bite the fruit, but stared at Shang Zhiqing with a smile that was not a smile. At the moment, Shang Zhiqing did not eat the red fruit either, she was only taking out the parchment and pen from before, and was recording something.

"To think that you would be able to accurately distinguish a fruit that is easy to mix with poison fruits despite being very experienced and knowledgeable in emotions." Xie Qingrong praised, but her tone hid a bit of probing tone.

Originally, this kind of fruit was a rarely seen fruit. It tasted sour, sweet, and sweet, and was essential to quenching one's thirst. However, this type of tropical red fruit would often be confused with a similar poisonous fruit. Without a strong ability to distinguish between the two, it was extremely likely that one would be able to pick a poisonous fruit without being aware of it.

Then, where did Shang Zhiqing get her confidence from? She was sure that this was a fruit that could be used, not a poisonous fruit.

"Ever since I was young, I have loved to read books and even had the ability to remember things. This fruit has been recorded in books. I've seen it once and I've never forgotten it." Shang Zhiqing explained blandly. She had indeed seen this from a book. On this point, she had really not deceived Xie Qingrong.

Xie Qingrong noticed the sincere expression on Shang Zhiqing's face and confirmed that she was not lying.

At this point, the topic was cleared.

Only, Xuanyuan Chen played with the red fruit in his hand, and asked in a low voice: "merchant girl and A Rong are sisters, A Rong has always lived in the General's Estate without any backing. Furthermore, due to certain reasons, A Rong has been known as the "Heaven's Punishment Solitary Star" since she was young, her days in the General's Estate will not be easy. "

"Rumor has it that A Rong's mother, Shang Huaiyue, died in childbirth, and her sister died young, so why is the merchant girl still living well in this world?"

Xuanyuan Chen's tone was very casual, as if he had just randomly brought up a topic.

Xie Qingrong smelled the fragrance of the roasted rabbit meat and took off the shelf. After she heard Xuanyuan Chen's words, she paused for a bit and then continued with her actions as if nothing had happened.

Shang Zhiqing's expression did not change as she bit down on the fruit. She did not panic, but remained calm and composed.

From the moment she decided to recognize her own sister, she had already made the preparations to tell Xie Qingrong everything.

There were some things that could not be revealed to Xie Qingrong yet.

Shang Zhiqing lowered her eyes, her long eyelashes covering the emotions beneath her eyes as she softly said: "Actually, fifteen years ago, my mother was in a difficult situation where she gave birth to a baby and my sister was safely given birth. However, because of my miscarriage of child, father expended a great amount of effort to ensure my safe birth, but my mother's life was in danger.

"In the year of mother's pregnancy, many things happened, forcing mother and father to separate, but father found her in the end. Moreover, in order to protect his elder sister, his mother and father had done many things. I can't tell Big Sister about this right now, but I hope that Big Sister will find out about it someday, so don't blame Father and Mother. "

Shang Zhiqing's words were vague, but Xie Qingrong could vaguely guess that it was probably because her own mother or father had an enemy, which was why she was raised in the General's Estate as the daughter of a general. Emperor Xuanyuan should know about this matter as well.

It seemed that there were still many secrets waiting for her to uncover.

Xie Qingrong indifferently replied, and could be considered to have given her a promise.

Dividing the torn rabbit meat to Shen Haoxuan, Shang Zhiqing and Xuanyuan Chen, seeing that Xuanyuan Chen still wanted to ask something, Xie Qingrong secretly stopped him with her eyes.

Xuanyuan Chen could only swallow down the question he was about to ask.

Shen Haoxuan bit onto the rabbit meat and realized that the atmosphere was a little silent. He braced his teeth and praised Xie Qingrong with a mischievous smile, "Princess, the rabbit meat you're roasting is so delicious, can you teach me?"

Xie Qingrong knew that Shen Haoxuan had the intention to ease the atmosphere, thus she grabbed the opportunity to give his a good one, and said with a slight nod: "I can teach you. But I'm afraid you won't be able to learn it! "

Just as she finished speaking, she suddenly felt a trembling that made people tremble in fear. She raised her eyes slightly and saw that the distant horizon seemed to have formed a long black line that connected with the horizon.

Xuanyuan Chen, Shang Zhiqing, and Shang Zhiqing all sensed this indescribable restlessness.

Xie Qingrong twiddled her fingers, as if trying to figure out the reason behind this anxious intuition of her. She squinted her eyes and continued to size up the black horizon in the sky.

The golden sunlight shone on the horizon, vaguely revealing a human figure. It was quickly heading in their direction, as fast as lightning.

The white figure drew closer.

Crown Prince of Chu Gongsun Heng!

Why would he appear here?

He seemed to be carrying a girl on his back. However, he could not see her face clearly. The aura he was emitting was extremely unstable, as if something bad had happened to him and they had to run forward with their lives on the line.

The agitation grew larger and larger, and it was as if the earth was trembling non-stop. Xie Qingrong's brain was working extremely quickly, as she continued to think about what the hell was this thing.

He suddenly thought of the horizon that was linked together into a line.

Xie Qingrong instantly realised what it was and her relaxed expression immediately changed. With a dark expression, she shouted towards Xuanyuan Chen and the other two: "Run!"

After shouting, she shook off the rabbit meat in her hand and ran forward desperately.

Xuanyuan Chen, Shen Haoxuan, and Shang Zhiqing still did not understand what happened, but seeing Gongsun Heng carrying a girl and rushing towards them nonstop, they heard Xie Qingrong's shouts again.
