Chapter 102

Inside the camp.

Accompanied by her palace maids, Concubine Xue strolled around the tent.

"My queen, it's too cold outside. You will have to sit on the high platform with the king for a long time when we count the prey later."

"I'd better help you back to the tent to rest first."

Thinking of the old immortal in the tent, Xue Fei showed impatience.

"The imperial physician said that the king cannot be exposed to the wind when resting. It's very stuffy in the tent. What's wrong with me coming out to get some fresh air?!"

She was too lazy to look at that old face full of wrinkles and age spots, and didn't want to smell the old man's smell!

The palace maid looked terrified and knelt on the ground to admit her mistake.

"Your Majesty, please calm down. I shouldn't have said too much. I was the one who said something wrong."

Concubine Xue snorted lightly, glared at her, and held out her hand with an arrogant look, as if waiting for the palace maid to help her.

"Get up, and stop acting like I'm treating you harshly."

Upon hearing this, the maid quickly stood up and supported her arm again.

At this moment, the entrance of the camp suddenly became lively.

"Hurry, hurry, the Second Prince and the Fifth Prince are back with their prey!"

"The Second Prince also hunted a black fox!"

Hearing the voice, Xue Fei looked over expectantly.

The palace maid beside her also stood on tiptoe to look around.

"I don't know which of the two princes will win the prize this year."

"I heard that the prize is a jade pendant made of top-grade warm jade, and it is also a personal item of the king."

Xue Fei was still staring over there, muttering softly.

"Of course it's the Second Prince."

Suddenly, she saw something and an anxious expression appeared on her face, and she waved at the palace maid.

"Go and tell the chief steward that the two princes have returned, and have him help the king to get up."

The maid was a little hesitant.

"What about you here?"

"I'm waiting here, how can you run away?!"

"Yes, I will be back soon. Madam, please don't go too far."

Xue Fei waved her hand impatiently.

"Got it, let's go!"

After the palace maid left, Princess Xue looked around, then lifted her skirt and walked to the edge of the camp.

Sure enough, I saw a tall and burly figure in the corner.

"Second Prince."

Shang Xiaohui turned and looked at her.

"Axue, you're here."

Xue Fei lowered her head slightly, her face flushed.

"Your Highness, please accept my condolences regarding the matter of the little grandson. The most important thing is to take good care of your health."

There will always be children.

When talking about this, Shang Xiaohui's face was full of pain.

"I suspect someone secretly tampered with Xu'er's case."

"I will make that man pay the price!"

After saying that, he looked at Xue Fei.

"Xue'er, you will help me, right?"

Looking at his bloodshot eyes, and the sadness that was almost drowning me.

Xue Fei's heart seemed to be grabbed by a big hand, rubbed hard, and finally put into the aged vinegar.

The pain in my heart is unbearable and I feel extremely sour and bitter.

In her heart, the second prince has always been a hero who is brave, majestic, and high-spirited.

But now, she felt a hint of fragility and helplessness in the second prince.

How could her hero show such an expression?

Absolutely not!

She stepped forward, held Shang Xiaohui's hand, and nodded heavily.

"Okay, I will definitely help you."

After getting a satisfactory answer, Shang Xiaohui smiled.

"Then tell me, how is Father's health now?"

…

About a cup of tea later, Xue Fei came out from the corner with slightly red cheeks.

Suddenly I noticed two guards passing by carrying a cage with a small animal with yellow and black stripes in it.

The two guards talked as they walked.

"Send it to the Second Prince's tent quickly. I heard that the Second Prince's wife likes small beasts the most."

Hearing this, Xue Fei secretly clenched her fists.

"stop!"

The two guards turned around and when they saw it was her, they knelt down and greeted her.

"Your humble servant pays respect to Her Majesty the Snow Queen. May Your Majesty be blessed with good health and good health."

Xue Fei held her chin high and pointed at the cage in their hands with a haughty look on her face.

"This, I want it!"

"this..."

The two guards looked embarrassed.

Originally, Xue Fei was upset when she heard them mention the Second Prince's wife. Now that she saw that they dared to disobey her, she felt even more angry.

"Why? It's just a raccoon slave. Do you think I still want it?!"

The two guards had sad faces.

"Your Majesty, calm down. This is not a civet cat, it's a tiger cub."

Xuefei waved his sleeves heavily and shouted angrily.

"So what? I want it, and you dare not give it to me?!"

"I dare not, I dare not."

The two guards quickly placed the cage at her feet.

Xue Fei glared with her beautiful eyes.

"Why don't you get out of here?!"

"Yes, yes, yes."

The two guards tumbled and crawled as they ran away.

I took a look at the little tiger in the cage. It had yellow fur and light black stripes. It was curled up anxiously and kept howling.

Xue Fei's expression eased a lot.

He bent down, opened the cage, and pulled the tiger cub out with one hand.

Look, so what if it's going to be given to the Second Prince's wife?

As long as she wants it, won't those people have to offer it to her respectfully with both hands?

If this little thing is, then the others should be too.

Perhaps she was thinking of something, but the strength in her hands suddenly increased. The little tiger felt pain and raised his claws to scratch her twice.

"Ahhh!"

"hiss!"

Looking at the two scratches on the back of her hand that were faintly stained with blood, a hint of hostility and cruelty flashed in Xue Fei's eyes.

A strange smile appeared on her lips, and she gently stroked the tiger cub's back with her hand.

Looking at the little guy curled up in her palm and shivering, her childish cry rang in her ears.

It looked so weak, as if she could kill it with just a slight force of her hand.

Thinking so in her heart, Xue Fei did the same.

She wrapped her hands with her wide sleeves to prevent them from being scratched again, and pinched Xiaohu's neck hard.

"Ahhhh!"

Xiaohu struggled desperately and screamed.

Seeing the strength of the struggle getting weaker and weaker, a hint of relief flashed in Xue Fei's eyes.

"My queen!"

"Madam, where are you?"

When she saw the figure of her personal maid, her hands suddenly loosened.

"My lady, the king is looking for you."

Suddenly, the palace maid noticed the dying little creature at Concubine Xue's feet and covered her mouth and screamed.

"This is?"

Xue Fei didn't care at all.

"We just found it. It seems to be injured. You can take it back and take care of it."

The palace maid hurriedly picked up Xiaohu.

"yes."

After Concubine Xue left, the palace maid held the little tiger carefully.

"Don't worry, little guy. I will definitely heal you."

As she spoke, she hurried towards the palace servants' tents.

After they left, a figure flashed out from the corner.

Looking at the backs of the two people, he snorted coldly.

At this time, the two guards also came and smiled at this man in a flattering manner.

"Master Aoki, we have followed your instructions. Is that right?"

As they spoke, the two men rubbed their fingers together, with greedy looks on their faces.

Aoki first glanced around, then looked at them meaningfully with an inexplicable tone.

"Don't worry, you will definitely get some benefits."

"But you also have to remember to keep your mouth shut. It should be clear what you should and shouldn't say, right?"

The two guards nodded repeatedly, with fawning looks on their faces.

"Yes, yes, don't worry. We have very bad memories. We forget everything the moment we turn around. We won't remember anything."

"Really?"

Qingmu reached for his sleeve pocket, his eyes suddenly sharpened, and he quickly pulled out the dagger hidden in his sleeve and slashed it forward neatly.

After two swishing sounds, the two guards fell to the ground, holding their necks.

"But I only trust the dead!"
