Chapter 11 Hunt Rescue
Zhao Yan escorted me back to the Chu residence.
He said, "A lifelong matter cannot be taken lightly. This Prince will handle those rumors."
"This Prince must also reconsider your spouse."
I asked, "Can this subject decide this matter himself?"
He looked at me calmly. "Chu Bingzhi, do not forget: This Prince's crown princess was chosen by you."
"This Prince must personally select your future wife."
I vaguely sensed.
He was already on the brink of collapse.
After that day, I heard Lu Yinchuan was studying diligently at home.
But I knew he was actually injured.
That day, Zhao Yan had nearly struck lethally.
I did not dare visit him.
Until the end of the month, the royal hunt.
I saw Lu Yinchuan again.
He raised an eyebrow at me. "You really have no conscience, not checking on me all this time."
I had no words.
Entering the hunting ground, my archery was poor, so I only caught a few rabbits and deer.
I put away my arrows, planning to leave soon.
But I forgot I did not know the paths.
Previously, I always followed Zhao Yan.
Walking and walking, not only did I not exit, but I entered the deepest part of the grounds.
When I realized, a fierce tiger appeared before me.
In both lives, I had never faced such a scene.
I turned and ran, but it caught up.
Just as I thought I would perish here, someone rushed in front of me, using his body to block the strike.
He was knocked down, spitting blood.
He glanced at me, then stood and charged again.
So I watched as he killed the tiger.
Crown Prince Zhao Yan, upright and serene, like a clear breeze and bright moon—when had he ever been so disheveled?
