Upon hearing the guard's message, Gu Tingzhou almost immediately put down the pen in his hand.

A flattered and grateful smile instantly appeared on his face, and he even stood up and gave a non-standard bow in the direction of the guards: "Oh! Your Highness the Sixth Prince still remembers me! This is such a great grace that I will never be able to repay it even if I die!" His voice was loud and full of flattery.

After the guards left, Gu Tingzhou's expression changed immediately.

He has betrayed the eldest princess, and now he is a pawn in Huang Yunchu's hands, used to deal with the eldest princess.

I don’t know what mission he will receive in this hunt.

偏院

When Liu Rufeng heard the words "accompany the autumn hunt", he felt as if all the warmth in him was instantly drained away and his whole body was cold.

The murderous intent that was as cold as a substance and the cold and indifferent eyes at the training ground in the morning flooded into his mind again.

He could even imagine himself in a relatively closed place like a camp tent in the wilderness, facing that terrifying woman with unfathomable martial power and who loathed him immensely... He shuddered uncontrollably, a strong urge to vomit welling up in the depths of his throat.

That is not an "honor", it is walking into the tiger's den!

This means that he is almost always exposed to Huang Yunchu's sight!

His every move and every word will be magnified and scrutinized.

He wants to pass on information?

Want to avoid suspicion?

The difficulty increases sharply!

Did she already know something and deliberately imprison and torture him in this way?

Wasn't the intimidation this morning enough? Did it take even longer to torture him?

His disgust with himself reached its peak - he had to go again, put on a smile, and carefully play the role of that infatuated, favor-seeking fool!

However, in the depths of despair, the string called "loyalty to the Second Prince" was stretched even tighter.

Danger is opportunity!

The more chaotic the situation is, the more he needs to confirm Huang Yunchu's true purpose.

Even if it was extremely disgusting, he had to go!

This painful and twisted mission made his face pale and his fingertips dug deeply into his palms.

Warm room in the side courtyard

"Autumn Hunt? Me?!" When the guard read out his name, the teacup in Shen Ji's hand fell to the carpet with a clang, and the scalding tea soaked a large area of ​​the velvet surface, but he seemed unaware.

It was as if thunder exploded in his head!

How can this be? !

In his previous life, until the autumn hunt started, he was abandoned like a worn-out shoe, locked up in a remote corner of the mansion and no one cared about him.

Accompanying the autumn hunt, that is the "respectability" that only Liu Rufeng or Bai Mo deserves!

Why would Huang Yunchu choose him?

The horrific rumors about the autumn hunt in the previous life instantly exploded in his mind - bandits attacking the camp, venomous snakes attacking, accidental stray arrows... several princesses and noble children were injured or even killed!

What is particularly clear is the most favored attendant of the Second Princess Huang Yunli. It is said that he was eaten by wild beasts in the dense forest of the hunting ground. His death was extremely miserable. In the end, he was hastily buried without even his name being recorded.

Going autumn hunting?

That is a huge Shura field!

It's a dead end where you could die at any time!

The intense fear wrapped around his heart like an icy poisonous snake, almost suffocating him.

Compared to the threat of surveillance that Liu Rufeng felt, Shen Ji felt the naked and bloody threat of death.

His whole body was cold, and his fingertips were shaking uncontrollably. He had escaped in his previous life, but in this life, he was being pushed into the pit of fire?

This Sixth Princess, the woman who was pressing on him this morning, did she really suddenly fall in love with him, or... did she want to use his death to achieve some ulterior motive?

The prophet brought by his rebirth made him absolutely certain that the dangers of the autumn hunt were far beyond his imagination.

go with?

Never go!

He would rather live a humble life in the mansion than go to a place where there is danger at every step!

But could he disobey the princess's order?

The despair of being unable to resist and the determination to save oneself collided violently in his cold eyes, and finally precipitated into a kind of desperate coldness.

The guard conveyed the order indifferently and did not stay for a moment.

***

In late autumn, the royal enclosure is covered in layers of red maple leaves, and flags flutter in the air filled with the cool fragrance of grass and trees.

The hunting ceremony is not only a royal event, but also a smokeless battlefield for adult princesses to demonstrate their strength and test each other.

The Sixth Princess Huang Yunchu's carriage slowly drove into the core camp.

What was different from the past was that four men in uniform hunting suits but with very different styles got off the accompanying carriage behind her - they were Shen Ji, Bai Mo, Liu Rufeng, and Gu Tingzhou.

Shen Ji was dressed in a dark green suit, which made his skin look as white as jade. His black hair was tied up high, which made him look less gorgeous than on the soft couch and more youthful and heroic. However, his eyes were still calm and restrained, and he followed quietly behind Yun Chu.

Bai Mo was dressed in moon-white, with a jade flute tied around his waist. His temperament was as cold as the snow on the distant mountains. Even in the bustling hunting ground, he looked like a walking ink painting.

Liu Rufeng was wearing crimson clothes, with his long hair untied, a few strands scattered on his handsome yet aloof face. He had a short knife hanging from his waist, his eyes as sharp as hooks, and he glanced around warily.

Gu Tingzhou was dressed in a calm dark blue, looking steady and reliable, but his shrewd eyes were constantly observing the seats of the princesses and the movements of the people coming and going.

The moment these four appeared, they immediately became the focus of everyone's attention. They were too dazzling, and each had their own unique style, silently confirming the reputation of "the six debauched princesses," but also subtly showcasing Yun Chu's astonishing "taste" and "control."

"Hey! Look who's here?" The Fifth Princess, Huang Yunxuan, spoke first, her voice tinged with exaggerated laughter. "Sixth sister, you're making quite a show today! You even brought your newly-collected 'treasures' with you on your hunting trip. Tsk tsk, Master Shen's demeanor and bearing are truly rare in the capital."

Her naked gaze roamed back and forth over Shen Ji, with undisguised teasing and covetousness.

"Sixth Brother, you have to speak with your ability in the hunting ground, not rely on these fancy tricks to attract attention! Be careful not to get yourself into trouble if you bring a bunch of encumbrances with you." A hearty but sarcastic voice sounded.

The eldest princess Huang Yunjin sat on the high platform, dressed in ochre and gold hunting clothes, looking majestic. Her eyes swept over the four people behind Yun Chu, and especially lingered on Gu Tingzhou for a moment.

Yun Chu immediately put on her signature lazy and nonchalant smile and walked up to the viewing platform. "Big sister, you're joking. I just brought a few people to help me out. It's so windy in this enclosure, and they're more useful than a fireplace."

She glanced at Liu Rufeng, who stiffened slightly. "Right, Rufeng?"

Liu Rufeng lowered his eyes, his voice lacking emotion: "It is a blessing for me to serve His Highness." But in his heart he sneered: See, he is using us as a shield again!

"Blessing?" Another voice as cold as an ice spring sounded.

The second princess, Huang Yunli, was dressed in a dark riding outfit. Her posture was as straight as a pine tree, and her eyes were as sharp as a knife, as if she could see through Yun Chu completely.

Her cold gaze swept over Liu Rufeng, the spy she had planted, and then fell back on Yun Chu: "There are many hidden talents in Sixth Sister's mansion. I heard that this Mr. Rufeng is good with a knife, this Mr. Bai is an excellent painter, this Mr. Gu is well versed in accounting, and even this new Mr. Shen... Oh, Shen Ji, right?"

She paused, and with a scrutinizing look in her eyes, Shen Ji lowered his head slightly. "I heard that he is also... 'possessing special skills'?"

Every word of these words is heart-piercing. It seems to be a compliment, but in fact it points out that the people around Yun Chu are "not simple", implying that she may have some ulterior motives.

Liu Rufeng clenched his fingers in his sleeves instantly, nervously waiting for Yun Chu's reaction. At the same time, he keenly felt that the Second Prince's eyes had a subtle scrutiny than before.

He felt a little nervous.
