The tiger roar echoed throughout the valley.

The emperor was so scared that he returned to the tent without stopping. The imperial guards surrounded him one after another and looked at the woods nervously.

One after another, the tiger roar and the startled birds all showed what happened in the woods.

The emperor stood nervously behind Li Dehai, wishing that everyone would stand in front of him.

After a while, the tiger roar suddenly disappeared.

The woods also returned to peace again. A team of imperial guards quickly brought people into the forest to check. When they saw the messy horse hoof prints and tiger's palm prints, their faces became unfair.

"Your Majesty, there are indeed tigers in the woods."

After listening to the team leader's report, the emperor's face turned pale and blue.

"Didn't this valley be cleaned up long ago and there are no beasts?" The emperor kicked the captain away in anger and said annoyedly, "What are you doing?"

He glanced around and found that he was the only one who acted the most fearful, almost losing all his face, and could not stop his murderous intent.

At this moment, Grand Tutor Jiang walked out of the crowd with great strides: "The emperor calms down. The most urgent task is to ensure your safety. As for why the tiger appears..."

He looked around and didn't see the figure, and an idea emerged.

"Where is Commander Xie?" Grand Tutor Jiang frowned unhappily and said in a deep voice, "He is the deputy commander-in-chief personally appointed by the emperor. He should protect the emperor personally. Why didn't he see him at such a critical moment? Could it be that he has gone to avoid laziness?"

Hearing this, the emperor narrowed his eyes and subconsciously looked in the direction of Pei Anlin.

But there was no strange color on Pei Anlin's bearded face.

Grand Tutor Jiang was furious, and the imperial guards dared not refuse to answer: "The commander said he would go to patrol the forest so that there would be no missing beasts that would hurt the emperor's dragon body."

The emperor nodded secretly, and he really wanted to do this. The tiger that suddenly appeared today is a best example.

"Since you're patrolling, why are there still beasts? It's still a huge tiger!" Grand Tutor Jiang said sternly, "It must be because he was lazy that such a big omission would appear."

Pei Anlin was furious when he heard this.

Clearing the hunting ground is the job of another team of imperial guards. Even if a tiger appears, it has nothing to do with Xie Yan. However, the words of Grand Tutor Jiang clearly meant to push all the responsibility on Xie Yan, which was clearly targeting Xie Yan.

He glanced at Taifu Jiang coldly, held his head up and said with a good word to the emperor.

But the eldest princess stopped him at this time and gave a wink to the right: "Xie Yan is here."

When Pei Anlin heard this, he immediately looked to the right.

The strong smell of blood filled the entire camp, and the calming woods fluctuated again, and the birds were shocked one by one.

Everyone subconsciously looked at the place where the noise was the most, and they were all dumbfounded.

"Is this... the tiger just now?"

"Commander Xie actually hunted a tiger back!"

Grand Tutor Jiang saw the tall figure of the man in the leader, and his face instantly became ugly.

How could it be him?

Xie Yan carried the tiger's corpse in one hand, and his face was covered with blood, which added a bit of hostility to this handsome and fair face.

The ladies watching looked at it, and their eyes were always following Xie Yan.

The unmarried ladies have to be much more restrained, but they will occasionally give Xie Yan a shy and excited look.

With these eyes, Xie Yan walked to the emperor calmly and firmly.

"Just heard the tiger roar, the empress led people to pursue him. The protection of the emperor came late, so he asked the emperor to forgive his crime."

The emperor looked at the tiger's corpse and his face turned a little pale, but he was excited: "Is this tiger you hunt?"

"It was our commander who killed it! There were two arrows in total, one shot the tiger's eyes blinded, and one arrow passed through the tiger's eyes!" Yue Rong said loudly, "It was what we saw with our own eyes!"

As soon as he spoke, the imperial guards brought by Xie Yan agreed one by one, and they echoed one after another, with great sincerity, full of respect for Xie Yan.

After half of the business, Mr. Jiang's plan was overturned, and his face looked extremely ugly.

He did not want to let Xie Yan go, so he winked at the people around him, and immediately someone came forward to kneel down and impeached Xie Yan: "Emperor, even if the commander Xie hunts a tiger, it cannot cover up his crime of neglecting his duties! As the deputy commander, he should follow the emperor and protect the emperor's safety, rather than hunting tigers for credit."

Xie Yanfeng's eyes drooped down and she glanced coldly at the person kneeling on the ground.

"According to the words of Qin Censor, I killed this tiger for the sake of credit?" Xie Yan curled his lips slightly and laughed sarcastically, "The officials really admire Qin Censor's ability to talk nonsense."

As he said that, he bowed deeply to the emperor: "Your Majesty, please tell me clearly. I led the team to patrol today to protect your safety, but during the patrol, I found a tiger chasing the eldest lady of the Gu family. Seeing that the eldest lady of the Gu family was about to die, I had to send an arrow to rescue him."

The imperial guards beside him knelt on the ground and explained.

"That's right, you can't stop saving me!"

"It was obvious that he saved people, but why did these civil servants take credit for the credit?"

"The civil servants just have a lot of thoughts, and this is not on the right path."

The emperor had already admired Xie Yan. Even though Xie Yan really went to hunt tigers for credit, since he could bring the tiger's body back, it was enough to prove his ability. In addition, there was also the imperial guards' proof, he looked down on Qin Censor Qin's little thoughts even more.

"I also think Xie Aiqing is young and promising." The emperor smiled, "He is a rare talent. Qin Jingshi, can you shoot a tiger to death with two arrows?"

The emperor's cold words made Qin Jingshi soaked in cold sweat.

He didn't dare to say anything more, knelt on the ground, and said with a trembling voice: "I can't do it."

"Since you can't do it, don't talk nonsense." The emperor glanced at him angrily, "I haven't spoken yet. What crime are you in a hurry to convict Xie Yan?"

"I know my mistake." Qin Censor said hurriedly.

The emperor never looked at him again. In contrast to his cold attitude, he patted Xie Yan on the shoulder with relief: "You did a good job. You can not only save Miss Gu, but also eliminate this harm. You are really young and promising! In the future, you must be as brave as you are today on the battlefield!"

"I will definitely not be humiliated!" Xie Yan replied loudly.

The emperor laughed happily, turned around several times in front of the tiger's huge body, and kept nodding and praising Xie Yan. Everyone could see his appreciation for Xie Yan. Many people with hidden thoughts focused on Xie Yan.

Pei Anlin saw it and was anxious in his heart.

He and the eldest princess left the crowd, with a very bad look on his face: "Mother, if this continues, Xie Yan will be with the emperor..."

"He is a smart child. You don't have to worry about knowing how to do it." The eldest princess patted the back of his hand. "Besides, the emperor is stupid and his prestige in the court is not as good as before. As long as he gets rid of the Jiang family by himself, the Chu country will change hands."

The emperor had no talent and virtue, and was greedy for his wife's beauty, so it was common for him to force him to be raped into the palace. Those ministers who had his wife abducted by him were sent to miserable places like Lingnan or Yuezhou and were not allowed to return to the capital for life. The ministers who were favored in the capital were respectful to him on the surface, but who did not have any uneasiness in his heart? Who knows whether the next person to be taken away by his wife is himself?

Moreover, over the past few days, disasters have occurred everywhere in the Chu State and the public has been indignant. A group of officials led by the Jiang family ignored the public's grievances and devoted themselves to the party to attack the differences, so as to turn the Chu State's court into their own one-man show.

The king is foolish and the people are complaining, and they are all the signs of the destruction of the country.

The more capable Xie Yan is, the more convincing he can be. Once he succeeds in his future and regains that position, these are all powerful cornerstones for him to consolidate his position.

The eldest princess has a plain attitude and does not regard the emperor's favor for Xie Yan as a disaster.

Seeing her attitude, Pei An

Lin sighed quietly: "No matter what your plan is, my son will send Anyang and Ning'er to Yuezhou at that time."

"It's okay to send it to Yuezhou." The eldest princess nodded slowly, "Even if the matter fails, they can still have a way out."

"Since that's the case, then Gu Zhiyuan's incident can no longer be delayed." The eldest princess's eyes were sharp and said word by word, "Send the mother and son to the capital and remove Gu Zhiyuan's skin!"

"Don't worry, my mother, the people I sent to Yuezhou to stay by the mother and son early on." Pei Anlin was excited, "I'll let someone do it now!"

Not far away, Gu Ning came out of the woods.

She was in a very happy mood with the most important map in her arms. When she saw the eldest princess and Pei Anlin looking at her from afar, she had a bright smile on her face, and she lifted her skirt and ran towards the two of them.

"Grandmother! Uncle! Why are you here?"

She smiled between her eyebrows and eyes, and walked briskly to the two of them.

The eldest princess breathed a sigh of relief, but did not forget to look her around carefully. Seeing that her clothes were intact, she breathed a sigh of relief: "I heard that Gu Qingqiu met a tiger, but Xie Yan saved her."

Gu Ning nodded: "Yes, she was riding a crazy horse at that time, and she took her down from the cliff directly. If it weren't for the fact that there were many trees growing on the edge of the cliff, she might have lost her life."

The eldest princess didn't speak for a long time. She stared at Gu Ning and suddenly spoke.

"You did it?"

Gu Ning coughed a few times and waved his hand quickly: "You look up to me, I just happened to pass by."

As he said that, Gu Ning approached the eldest princess and whispered, "I guess it was made by Jiang Ruzhu."

"The second lady of the Jiang family?" The eldest princess frowned and then realized it, saying disgusting, "Is it for Chu Yunyi again?"

Gu Ning nodded: "I found this in the woods."

As she said, Chunyu took out Gu Qingqiu's outer dress that was thrown halfway, explaining: "This is what Miss Gu threw on the halfway. I have checked it and there is beast-attracting powder on it."

"The heart of the Jiang family is indeed exactly the same as the same viciousness." The eldest princess snorted coldly, "A such a trap was set up in the hunting ground filled with wild animals. Even without the tiger that suddenly appeared, any few small beasts would be enough to seriously injured Gu Qingqiu."

Gu Ning agreed very much: "You are right, I..."

Before he could finish his words, the rushing sound of horse hooves stopped beside her.

Chu Yunyi glared at Gu Ning in anger and gritted his teeth and asked, "How could Qingqiu's clothes be with you!"

His eyes were bloodshot and he reached out to grab Gu Ning, but he was stopped by Chunyu.

"You poisonous woman! You tried your best to harm Qingqiu!" Chu Yunyi cursed with gritted teeth, "You and I have already terminated the engagement, so why should you chase Qingqiu again?"

Gu Ning rolled his eyes and threw a slap on Chu Yunyi's face.
