On a big tree, Shen Yijia hugged the tree trunk with one hand and held a few bird eggs with the other. She looked nervously at the person under the tree.

“I’m really going to do it!”

Song Jingchen held back his laughter and looked up at this person who had just bragged about how good she was at climbing trees and refused to let others help.

It was quite smooth when she went up, but she didn’t know what to do when it was time to come down.

The trees that Shen Yijia used to climb in the courtyard were all artificially planted for viewing or shade, so they weren’t as tall as this one

Furthermore, she was holding a bird egg.

“Little Miss, I…” Mo Yuan wanted to say ‘I’ll do it’, but Rooster covered her mouth.

Young Madam was angry with Master. How could he let this opportunity for Master to perform be ruined by this tactless person?

“Trust me,” Song Jingchen said.

Shen Yijia took one last look at his beautiful face. She gritted her teeth and closed her eyes. She let go of the tree trunk and jumped down.

Song Jingchen jumped into the air and caught her.

Looking down at the timid person who still didn’t dare to open her eyes, he chuckled and teased, “Do you dare to do it again?”

Shen Yijia opened her eyes and puffed up her cheeks. “I dare.”

Anyway, with her beautiful husband around, she wasn’t afraid.

Song Jingchen held his forehead. He knew it.

Shen Yijia jumped out of his arms and showed the egg to Song Jingchen. “Roast it for me later. If it’s delicious, I’ll consider letting go of my anger.”

“Alright.”

Ah Xun, who was carrying the two rabbits, rolled his eyes. They had agreed to come out to get things done, but they were openly showing off their affection here. Could they take into account that he was still a child?

Mo Yuan grabbed Rooster’s hand and threw him aside. She took a few steps towards Shen Yijia. “Little Miss, I’ll help you roast it.”

This way, her young miss wouldn’t have to suffer and reluctantly forgive her husband.

Shen Yijia was stunned and blinked at her. Mo Yuan reached out her hand expressionlessly.

Shen Yijia was speechless.

Where did this fool come from? Hurry up and drag her away. Was eating roasted bird eggs the main point? The main point was the person roasting the eggs!

She hid the egg behind her and glared at Rooster, who was still rubbing his waist from the pain.

After receiving the gazes of his two masters, Rooster walked over with a bitter expression and pulled Mo Yuan back. He said angrily, “Young Madam only likes to eat eggs roasted by Master. Don’t cause trouble here. Come with me to gather firewood.”

Mo Yuan looked at Shen Yijia, who quickly nodded. Only then did she follow Rooster.

Song Jingchen’s lips twitched.

In order to appease this girl, not only did Song Jingchen roast the egg, but he also personally cooked the rabbit.

Shen Yijia sat at the side and watched Song Jingchen’s actions with sparkling eyes.

Her beautiful husband was amazing. Not only was he good-looking, but he was also good at doing things.

The few of them were eating barbecue in a circle when two people suddenly walked out of the forest.

The person leading the way was none other than South Wind, who had been sent out by Song Jingchen yesterday.

Seeing the person following behind South Wind, Ah Xun’s eyes lit up and he ran over. “Zodar, you’re here.”

Zodar knelt on one knee, placed his right hand on his left shoulder, and bowed. “Little Prince, I am late. Please punish me.”

Hearing this familiar form of address, Ah Xun’s eyes turned red. He blinked to hide his tears and helped Zodar up. “It’s not your fault. It’s Mungido who’s too detestable. Not only did he kill my father, but he also sent people to kill me.”

Zodar punched the tree trunk angrily. “I knew that person was ambitious. I reminded Chanyu Kedun to be careful when he was alive, but he was unwilling because of their brotherhood.”

The two of them weren’t speaking Central Plains Chinese. Other than Song Jingchen, everyone else was dumbfounded.

Shen Yijia glanced at Song Jingchen and tore off a piece of meat from the rabbit leg in her hand. She brought it to his lips and whispered, “Hubby, I’ll feed you.”

Song Jingchen knew what she was thinking at a glance. He reached out to take the meat and stuffed it into Shen Yijia’s mouth. He pulled her to sit beside him and explained Ah Xun’s identity and the internal strife of the Huns in a low voice.

Shen Yijia was dumbfounded. She never expected that the child she casually picked up would be the little prince of the Huns.

At the end, Shen Yijia sorted out her thoughts and concluded, “The current king of the Huns killed his brother and framed Great Xia, so these people want to attack Great Xia to avenge that person?”

Great Xia had been wronged!

No, the citizens of Xunyang City were wronged!

Song Jingchen’s eyes darkened. In order to clear his name, Mungido attacked Great Xia in the name of revenge and made those who were originally loyal to Kedun Chanyu acknowledge him. It was only one of the reasons why he successfully sat on the throne.

He probably wanted to use these people’s anger to attack Xunyang. Without Xunyang, it would be even easier to invade the Great Xia.

It was ridiculous that Emperor Chong’an thought that everything would be fine if he abandoned Xunyang.

After Ah Xun and Zodar finished reminiscing, Zodar suddenly walked up to Shen Yijia and bowed to her. He said in broken Central Plains Chinese, “Thank you for saving the little prince. If you have any requests, as long as I, Zodar, can do it, I’ll definitely fulfill them.”

Shen Yijia blinked and glanced at Song Jingchen. She pondered for a moment before saying, “Then can you retreat and not attack Xunyang?”

She actually did not care about Xunyang’s condition. However, Lord An Le was involved in this matter, and Lord An Le was someone her husband cared about. She could only reluctantly follow suit.

Zodar paused, clearly not expecting her to be so direct.

He laughed and narrowed his eyes. “Of course. This was originally a scheme by Mungido. The Great Xia assassin who supposedly killed our late Chanyu is probably fake too. When I return, I’ll immediately order the retreat. It’s just that…”

He paused for a moment and looked at Song Jingchen. “There are still many people who side with Mungido in the army. I’m afraid they won’t listen to me.”

After returning to the Royal Court, there would definitely be a fierce battle to fight if they wanted to overthrow Mungido and help the little prince ascend the throne.

Naturally, he did not want these traitors to return alive.

“That’s simple. Just put them all down with a packet of medicine.” Shen Yijia took out a pouch generously. This was her last stock. She had left in a hurry and didn’t have time to ask Lin Shao to prepare more.

Song Jingchen chuckled. “What my wife said is a good idea.”

Zodar thought, “The Central Plains people are indeed sinister and cunning.”

He reached out to take the pouch and bowed again. “Thank you. It’s not appropriate for the little prince to appear now. I hope you can take him in for a few more days. I’ll come and pick him up after I deal with those people.”

“Zodar, you have to be careful.” As soon as Ah Xun finished reminding him, Song Jingchen and Shen Yijia suddenly looked in a certain direction.

Without waiting for Song Jingchen to attack, Shen Yijia had already rushed over and grabbed the person in the dark.

When Zodar saw this person, his eyes widened in anger. He grabbed his collar and gritted his teeth. “Ruo Houchan, why are you here?”

This person was someone he trusted, but he did not tell anyone that he was here today.
