He did not expect the mechanisms in this small courtyard to be so powerful. Not only could they defend against people, they could even guard against the air. It seemed that this Xue Luoyun was truly a powerful person. It was a pity that such a person could not be used by her. She could not allow her to stay.

After cleaning up the corpses in the courtyard, Xue Luoyun sat down and seriously thought about the things that happened in that period of time. At first, she didn't understand. She'd first been targeted by the rapist, and then why Xue Shaoli had drugged her and lured the emperor over. What was her goal? It definitely wasn't so simple as to have her become Mu Zheng's concubine. There was also the fact that Mu Zhuozhi was being hunted, in addition to the fact that they were all well-trained death soldiers. There seemed to be no connection, but there seemed to be some sort of connection behind it.

First of all, it was definitely related to Xue Lian painting Xue Shaoli. In addition, from the looks of the people in the school, it seemed that there was an even greater power backing them. Moreover, the matter concerning the crown prince should be related to the imperial power. But who exactly was that? Xue Luoyun thought hard, but was unable to find an answer.

"He can't even kill her with this. He sure is resilient." When Xue Lian heard the news of his failure last night, he felt an incomparable pity.

"Looks like I won't be able to find any opportunities to attack him in this small courtyard." "We will only have the chance to let her walk out of this courtyard." Xue Shaoli thought to herself, "But this Xue Ruyun is still on guard against us, she doesn't have a chance."

Xue Lian looked deep in thought. He silently pinched his fingers and calculated. "If I think about it carefully, there is such a good opportunity."

"Oh? What plan does little sister have? " When Xue Shaoli saw that Xue Lian seemed to be confident, she could not help but ask.

"Elder sister, you forgot. In another month, the annual hunting competition of the Imperial Family will be held. Since the Emperor values Xue Ruyun this much, he will definitely allow her to participate. This is our chance. "

"Yeah, how could I have forgotten about that?" Xue Shaoli smacked her head. This was indeed a rare opportunity. Indeed, two people's brains were much better than one person's. However, after thinking it over seriously, she frowned again. "But the emperor and the other members of the imperial family are here. We can't do it under the watchful eyes of everyone."

"What I want is for everyone to see." Xue Lian smiled sinisterly.

"Think about it, what if something happens to Xue Ruyun? But at that time, the Emperor will definitely investigate." However, if she were to be killed in front of all these people, even the Heavenly Emperor himself would not be able to save her. " Xue Lian was extremely smart and had meticulous thoughts. Unfortunately, all of her thoughts were used to harm others.

"Right, little sister, you have thought it through more thoroughly. If someone was poisoned or injured, the emperor would naturally investigate. However, if the animal was angry and had bitten wounds, such as a fierce tiger, everyone would personally witness it. What was there to investigate? "Hahahaha..." The two of them looked at each other and laughed sinisterly.

Xue Ruoyun was currently reading a book, when he suddenly felt a chill.

On this day of the hunting competition, there was a sea of people and it was bustling with noise and excitement. Basically, all of the nobles, court officials, and elite troops had arrived. The entire scene was filled with red flags, gongs, drums, and the sound of horns. It was an extremely grand scene. There were thousands of soldiers on guard. There were also various weapons, war horses, maids, eunuchs, etc.

Xue Luoyun was wearing a light, gray, and long gown with her sleeves tightly tucked away. Her head of black hair was tied up with a white silk cloth, leaving only a few strands of hair floating in front of her forehead.

Seeing Xue Luoyun come over, Mu Zheng, Mu Ying, and Mu Zhuo were all secretly happy. Xue Moyun faced them, nodded, and sat in her own seat. Actually, Japan doesn't want to participate in this hunting competition today, because there are too many people and it's easy to get into trouble. Xue Luoyun was extremely worried, afraid that there would be more problems. Unfortunately, he had already agreed to Mu Zheng's request, so he couldn't refuse.

Not long after, he saw Xue Shaoli and Xue Lianqing slowly walking over, wearing heavy palace uniforms.

"Why are these two here as well?" Xue Ruoyun said to Yun Zhi in a displeased tone. According to the previous rules, unless there were special circumstances, only the daughter of the direct disciple could participate in the hunting competition. Only after hearing that they weren't there did Xue Ruoyun come to participate in the competition with a relieved heart. Unexpectedly, he still met them.

"Miss, these lists were added later. With these two here, Miss should be more careful. " Yun Zhi slightly bent her body and whispered into Xue Luoyun's ear. For some unknown reason, the two of them were able to participate. It seemed like the power behind this was within the Royal Palace.

"Big sister, you really have a way to get into the hunting grounds." Xue Lian said respectfully.

"What can I do? It's all because of us, the third prince." Let's not talk too much. I have serious matters to attend to today. " Xue Shaoli maintained a generous smile, but was actually secretly plotting with Xue Lian.

"I know."

"Did you bring everything?" Xue Shaoli coughed fakely and covered her mouth with the handkerchief.

"Of course, this is the infant urine that was specially bought at a high price, so the hunter can go to that tiger's den and take it." Xue Lian said while covering his mouth as he picked up a cup of tea beside him. He pointed to his sleeves again, looking pleased with himself. Thinking back, that tiger was really powerful. It had taken the lives of seven or eight experienced hunters to obtain this bottle. If it wasn't for the high price, no one would dare to go.

"We'll act accordingly later."

The matter from last time was a failure, so the two of them would definitely not let it go so easily. Xue Ruyun looked at their expressions today. He must be harboring malicious intentions. Who knows what sinister methods he would think of to harm others.

"Miss, you must be careful." Yun Zhi's heart was not at ease as she repeatedly warned Xue Ruoyun.

Xue Muyun had already seen through this. It was just that he didn't know what tricks they had up their sleeves. If he was a bit more careful, he would deal with them as he pleased.

At this time, Xue Shaoli signaled to Xue Lian with her eyes. The two of them came to a place where there was no one around, then they combed through the methods of harming others.

After a few horns sounded, Mu Zheng stood up and said a few words that encouraged his descendants by praying for a good harvest. In any case, Xue Ruoyun was busy eating, so he didn't think too much about it. The fruit was delicious today, all of it from the pines. Even in the modern world, Xue Luoyun had eaten such a strange and delicious fruit. The ancient emperors truly knew how to enjoy themselves. It was no wonder that everyone wanted to become an emperor, sighing emotionally.

Little did they know that in the distance, when Mu Heng saw her eating, his usually cold face wanted to laugh, but at the same time he wanted to remain aloof. He was so stifled that he wanted to choke to death. Did Xue Muyun starve to death? Why was he eating so hurriedly? Bring some to her next time you have a chance.

After hearing Mu Zheng announce the start of the hunting competition, Xue Luoyun hurriedly sat up straight, acting as if nothing had happened. After that, Xue Duan emerged and announced the rules for this year's competition. All the adult princes and princesses had to participate. Other than the injured Mu Zhuo, who had not fully recovered from his injuries. In addition, all of the court officials present, each family sent a child to accompany the competition. After the competition, they would be able to count the number of prey. Those who hunted the most would be able to obtain the Gold Armour Jade Robe bestowed by the Emperor.
