Feng Rulian and Feng Ruohui were brought back to General Feng's Residence in low spirits. The moment they disappeared from's sight, Feng Yu immediately broke free from Xuanyuan Zhan's embrace, showing a "flick once you've used them" look, and even patted the creases on his clothes.

Xuanyuan Zhan creased his eyebrows at her actions, a trace of anger flashed past his eyes, but he was helpless.

The moment Dou Dou returned to the courtyard, he pounced in front of that pile of food. His small mouth didn't stop at all, and Feng Yu was afraid that he would be full so he rubbed his stomach, leaving the rest for the night.

Xuanyuan Zhan looked at the way Feng Yu treated Dou Dou, and the anger in her eyes gradually dissipated to become a faint gentleness.

If not for what happened six years ago, they would have definitely stayed together with him and he would have accompanied Dou Dou to the end of his growth. Every day, he watched Feng Yu treat him and Dou Dou with the gentlest of expressions, but now, all of Feng Yu's gentleness was given to Dou Dou alone.

When he thought about what happened just now, Xuanyuan Zhan felt as if he had grasped onto something. He raised his eyes and asked: "Yu Er, why did you follow Feng Rulian and Feng Ruo Yurou just now? Didn't you know that they didn't have a good relationship with you? This King also heard that they often humiliated you before you were married. "

His own wife had been bullied by his concubine's sister, but he didn't show it at all. As expected of an iceberg, maybe he really didn't have any feelings for the real Battle Princess.

Therefore, she also didn't want to tell Xuanyuan Zhan about the things that she had planned for.

"What does that have to do with you?"

"Does this have anything to do with your disappearance for six years? They probably know something. "

Feng Yu was slightly stunned, thinking how could this dead ice mountain be so sensitive, yet its face still maintained the expression of not wanting to reveal anything.

"Since I said that it has nothing to do with you, then why are you guessing so much?"

"Because this duke is curious, Yu Er actually did not think about escaping." Xuanyuan Zhan said in a low voice, "Does Yu Er think that it's very safe to stay by this king's side?"

Safe was safe, but if something unexpected happened, it would be like the scene in the alley just now.'s thick and warm embrace appeared in Feng Yu's mind, and Feng Yu's eyes flashed a little.

Feng Yu said in a sharp tone, adamantly refusing to admit the tiny amount of reliance she had in him.

Xuanyuan Zhan smiled in satisfaction. He knew that although he had not given up on running, she had no way of escaping.

"Since that's the case, Yu Er and Dou Dou can stay at the Duke Palaces without having to worry. I guarantee that no one can hurt you two here, and even if I don't personally protect you two, no stranger will be able to get within a hundred steps of you."

This was no different from a jail cell. Feng Yu muttered in her heart as she suddenly caught a glimpse of the contents of his words and turned her head to look at him.

"You mean …" You won't personally protect us?... Where are you going? "

Xuanyuan Zhan could see that there was no reluctance in her expression and encounter. He sighed in his heart, but he still revealed the matter to her.

"It's going to be the annual Autumn Hunt soon. Everyone in the royal family will be participating, be it your majesty, the crown prince, or even the princes and princesses are not allowed to shirk their duties. Even a few princesses will be participating."

Feng Yu's eyes shone brightly, and she almost jumped up and danced for a while. Although she restrained herself, the joy on her face was still enough to make the corner of her mouth twitch uncontrollably.

Looking at her eager to leave right now, he felt a sense of frustration and helplessness engulfing him. His heart was faintly aching.

By his side, Dou Dou was naturally happy in his heart when he saw his mother. The "bad Your Highness" was about to leave, and if he were to go out in the future, he would be able to go with his mother once more. He didn't really like the thought of a third party appearing between him and his mother that was not very pleasing to the eye.

Seeing that Dou Dou was also like that, Xuanyuan Zhan's expression became even uglier. Not only his face, his tone of voice also became even colder.

"Even if I am not here anymore, you can forget about doing what you did last time. Don't think that the crown prince will not give up on his resolve to deal with you just because he is participating in the Autumn Hunt. Don't forget about the people under his command."

"I won't forget." Feng Yu was still immersed in the joy of his departure. Even if there was an army rushing towards her now, it wouldn't be able to stop her from being in a good mood.

Xuanyuan Zhan returned to his courtyard with a dark face. Lightning and rain suddenly appeared behind him, and knelt down to report to him.

To report to the Duke, the two young mistresses of the Feng Family have already been sent in front of General Feng, and everything is as he expected. Feng Haotian was greatly enraged, but they gritted their teeth and did not reveal what they had said to attract the attention of the Crown Princess.

Xuanyuan Zhan's brows slightly tightened, was this clue broken just like that?

"Got it, continue monitoring the two of them. Feng Rulian's mouth isn't too tight, she will always reveal something, it's good to keep her waiting."

After Lightning left, Lei Yu continued to listen to other orders.

"When I hunt in the autumn, I will strengthen the guards of the manor. Everyone must look out for my imperial concubine. If she leaves the house, I must keep a close eye on her. I must not relax in the slightest, and I must not let anyone get too close to her."

Thunder Rain bowed his head in acknowledgement, seeing the complex feeling lingering around Xuanyuan Zhan's eyebrows.

Finally, the day that Xuanyuan Zhan was going to leave, she almost waved her handkerchief to tell him to leave quickly. Xuanyuan Zhan had wanted to say something to her, but seeing her expression, he snorted angrily and turned his horse to leave immediately.

Arriving at the hunting grounds, they saw that there were already many people outside who were prepared to participate in the Autumn Hunt. Not only were there the descendants of the various martial generals and nobles, but also the heirs of the civil officials.

Xuanyuan Zhan saw Feng Haotian among the crowd, and his face was extremely ugly. The tip of his eyebrows was creased with worry, and Xuanyuan Zhan could tell that he had done something shameful just by looking at it.

Xuanyuan Qingtian was naturally there as well. He had brought a lot of people with him, making him look majestic, but the coldness on his exceptional face had all disappeared after the first lesson, making him look like a qualified crown prince.

She was very clear about what Xuanyuan Qingtian looked like, but even if he was the eldest son, she could only swallow all of his opinions. Furthermore, the Yan Fei was really good with things, if she talked back to Xuanyuan Mo casually, it would ruin the affection of her siblings.

's health was not that good, she left a princess behind and then passed away. For many years, Xuanyuan Mo had not been able to establish himself as an empress for a long time, and Yan Fei had relied on his and Empress' 90% similar appearances to be doted on, causing the fourth of Xuanyuan Mo's six sons to die a long time ago. The fifth son, matriarch, was extremely unpampered, and the sixth son was still young.

Because of the existence of the Ning Fei, Xuanyuan Zhan could not leave.

After exchanging eye contact with Xuanyuan Qingtian, Xuanyuan Zhan's face immediately recovered, while he smiled even wider.

"Prince Zhan has arrived a bit later than in the past."

"Yes." Xuanyuan Zhan replied indifferently, "When I left, I couldn't bear to part with Yu Er and Dou Dou, so I stayed for a while."

No one would have thought that he would bring up Feng Yu and Dou Dou so openly. After all, their identities had not been confirmed yet, so it might even be a heinous crime.

The muscles on Xuanyuan Qingtian's face twitched, a look of strangeness flashed past his face, but he still managed to smile.

"Didn't royal father want to see them? If we find them, shouldn't we bring them to the Imperial Palace first? "

This question was asking why he didn't dare to bring them into the palace. Hiding his true identity for fear of being seen as a fake was a crime against the sovereign.

Of course, Xuanyuan Zhan didn't care about these things, he indifferently swept his eyes across Xuanyuan Qingtian.

If I hadn't protected them, they might have already died under the arrows. This king comforted them for a long time to calm their hearts, Yu Er is a strong person, he can still hold on, Dou Dou is still young, he is only six years old. "

Xuanyuan Qingtian's face distorted once again. Wasn't this the same as slapping him in front of everyone, secretly ridiculing him for being an evil person?

Xuanyuan Feng was completely confused by what he heard. His two brothers' words made him unable to interject at all, and when he heard Xuanyuan Zhan's words, he immediately frowned in anxiety.

"That's not good. Third imperial concubine, you must report this to royal father as soon as possible. Hurry and catch that villain." Xuanyuan Feng's face was innocent, he did not seem to understand the hidden meaning behind his words, "This evil man dared to make a move on Third royal concubine, he was even able to capture her and give her a proper punishment."

Xuanyuan Qingtian's eyes flashed with a sinister light as he coldly swept his gaze at Xuanyuan Feng like a poisonous snake, causing him to shrink back in fear and hide behind Xuanyuan Lin.

Seeing Xuanyuan Lin deeply staring at him, Xuanyuan Qingtian realized that he was being too frank and immediately looked away.

"Sixth brother is right, we need to catch that evil man as soon as possible. We should leave this matter to elder brother. When the time comes, Royal father will inform you that Imperial Father is extremely concerned with national affairs and does not need to bear any new burdens."

If it was given to him, wouldn't it just destroy all the evidence?! Xuanyuan Zhan lightly rejected his.

"No need, This King has his ways. Thank you, Your Highness."

Xuanyuan Qingtian's eyes flashed, and guessed that Xuanyuan Zhan might have caught on to something, causing his heart to become nervous, and his eyes to once again shine with a sinister light.

At this time, Xuanyuan Mo appeared. Everyone could only calm down and kowtow to Xuanyuan Mo and say how long it had been.

Xuanyuan Mo's gaze swept across everyone present and stopped on Xuanyuan Qingtian and his body for a long time, moving away without leaving any trace.
