Chapter 560 Autumn Hunting (1)
The weather after autumn has long lost the scorching heat of summer. Only at noon, the sun is still a bit blazing. The group's temporary stop is in a small forest. There is a small river nearby, which is just right for those who love it. The clean ladies got out of the car, washed their faces, and walked along the river for a while to relieve themselves from the hard work of boating and traveling.
The prince's bright yellow chariot was parked under a big tree. The breeze blew and lifted the gauze curtain on the window. A thin figure could be vaguely seen standing on the wall of the chariot with his eyes closed and concentrating.
Although the spacious carriage was very comfortable, the road was uneven and bumpy along the way, which was bearable for ordinary people, but for the frail Chu Heng, it was extremely difficult.
At this time, Chu Heng's face looked very bad, and the black and blue color seemed to be aggravated. If he hadn't drank some spiritual spring water and swallowed ginseng slices, he would have been lying down in the car by now.
Xiao Ruiyuan sat under the big tree, gnawing dry food with cold water, and paying attention to Chu Heng's movements, with deep worry lingering in his eyes.
A group of people came over not far away. The two leading them were dignified in appearance and extraordinary in appearance. One was Prince Heng, who was the third among the princes and was deeply favored by the emperor. The other was Qi, who was the seventh and was conferred upon his wedding not long ago. The king, followed by several princes who were still underage and still living in the palace.
Xiao Ruiyuan narrowed his sharp eyes, swallowed the last mouthful of dry food and stood up slowly. When King Heng, King Qi and others walked in, he bowed slightly, cupped his fists and saluted: "I have met His Highness King Heng and His Highness King Qi!"
Hearing the icy salute, King Heng didn't take it seriously. Instead, he said very politely: "The smooth journey this time is all thanks to General Xiao. Thank you for your hard work, General Xiao!"
King Heng has a gentle face, is modest and kind, and loves his brothers and sisters. He is known as the "Wise King" in the court. He is even more famous than the prince who is gentle and elegant but lives in seclusion. Because of this, he has won over many ministers in the court, and he is the most popular candidate for the successor prince among more than a dozen princes and princes.
Being praised, Xiao Ruiyuan didn't even move his brows, and said in a cold voice: "It is my duty to protect the Holy Emperor and the Crown Prince. Your Highness, Prince Heng, said it hard."
King Qi on the side couldn't stand the arrogant look of this man. Before King Heng could speak, he couldn't help but stand up and said sarcastically: "What a 'duty', I see you following the prince every step of the way." , I thought you were a dog raised by the prince, who only knows how to protect the prince, the real owner, and doesnt take anyone else seriously!"
Xiao Ruiyuan lowered his eyes and said nothing, not even looking at King Qi, as if the living person in front of him did not exist at all.
Seeing that he was being ignored, King Qi's handsome face began to twist. Just as he was about to speak and punish Xiao Ruiyuan for being disrespectful, a cold voice came over: "Seventh Emperor Brother, you are here just to embarrass General Xiao. ?
King Heng and King Qi froze and looked at Chu Heng in the carriage, who didn't know when he opened his eyes.
King Heng reacted quickly. He walked quickly to the carriage window and bowed solemnly to Chu Heng in the carriage, with his usual smile on his face: "Brother Second Emperor is worrying too much. Brother Seventh has a bad temper." Its clear that its too late for him to worship General Xiao, so how can he be malicious?
According to the rules, King Heng should call Chu Heng the prince or the prince's brother, but King Heng never did this. Every time he greeted Chu Heng, he called him "the second prince brother". Others thought he was a brother-in-law, calling him the second emperor brother to show his closeness. Only those who knew his true face could understand the ambition hidden behind the title.
