Chapter 269 Are you hostile to me?
Yang Yan said calmly, "Your Highness, this is an enclosure. How can you hurt people so casually?"
"He let my pig go!" The third prince's eyes were red as he glared at the guard fiercely. Then he turned around and glared at his younger brother.
The pig being lost is not the most important thing, but not only was the pig lost, it also ran to the second prince. How could he not be angry?
He raised his hand and called over a eunuch: "You, go ask the Crown Prince and the Second Prince how much they have hunted."
Even though the hunt has not ended yet, there is still competition between the teams, and they will all inquire about each other's results.
The Third Prince came today with a purpose. His opponent was no ordinary man, but the Crown Prince! He had been ranked third for so many years, and this year he must rise to the occasion and take first place, showing his father what he could do.
When the eunuch came back, the third prince became even more angry.
"Your Highness, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has hunted thirty-six, and the Second Prince has hunted twenty-nine, but among them... is that wild boar."
In terms of quantity, the crown prince is first, but in terms of quality, I'm afraid it's the second prince.
The Third Prince asked, "What about us?"
"Reporting to His Highness, we hunted twenty-eight."
"What!" The third prince's eyes widened.
Twenty-eight, that is, if he hunted that pig, he would surpass the second prince.
After so many years, this was the first time he could match the second oldest, or even surpass the oldest, but he still failed.
Before, it was because he was young, but now? He's thirteen!
The Third Prince's eyes widened in anger. He turned around and quickly walked to his younger brother: "It's all your fault."
The younger brother was startled and subconsciously took a step back, explaining: "Your Highness, I... don't know how to ride and shoot."
He had never been good at riding or shooting, and he had told the Third Prince about it from the beginning. When the Third Prince arranged the hunt, he had not included him at all. How could he be blamed now?
"If you hadn't held me back, how could I have failed?" The Third Prince's face was terribly gloomy. "Come, arrest him. Today, I will punish him."
Yang Yan quickly came over and whispered, "Your Highness, it's not possible for now."
The Third Prince said viciously, "Even if I kill him today, it won't matter. What about the Marquis's son? If the Marquis's son dies, my father will only reprimand me. You can't ask me to pay for his life."
Yang Yan's eyes flickered slightly. He glanced at the Third Prince, then at his younger brother. His eyes flickered slightly, and he said in an annoyed manner, "But, Concubine Xin will be worried."
"A woman's kindness!"
The third prince asked someone to catch his younger brother, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he raised his eyebrows and said.
"Besides, this prince didn't want him to die. He just wanted him to understand that if he did something wrong, he should bear the consequences!"
A dagger slipped out from the sleeve of the Third Prince. There was only brutality in the Third Prince's eyes, like a beast smelling blood. He gestured with the dagger on his younger brother's face.
The younger brother was trembling with fear: "Your Highness, I was wrong... I was wrong."
However, the more he begged for mercy, the louder the Third Prince laughed.
"You were wrong? I'll make you understand what a real mistake is! I'm going to cut off your skin bit by bit, do you understand? Bit by bit, I want to hear you cry and howl, but I won't take your life..."
The third prince was so excited that his whole face was distorted.
Yang Yan took a step back, as if frightened. Tang Bantu also pulled out a dagger, laughed heartily, and thrust one into the hand of Wan Bantu next to him.
"Come, let's share His Highness's worries."
Only then did I understand that the Third Prince really had a problem. No wonder he had changed so many study partners before. Anyone who couldn't be in cahoots with him was probably dealt with.
In addition to Yang Yan, there are also people who know how to plead for him, but I am afraid that if I continue to plead, the Third Prince will take action against Yang Yan as well.
The younger brother was so scared that he started to cry. The knives were about to scrape his body one by one, just like slow slicing. He had only read about it in books before, but today, he was afraid he would have to try it himself.
Who can save him this time?
It's impossible for his father and sisters to come in here.
King Ning?
It was Prince Ning who saved him just now.
A glimmer of hope suddenly emerged in the younger brother. He disliked Prince Ning because he was his brother-in-law, yet he had forgotten his sister. But at this moment, he hoped Prince Ning would appear.
Whatever comes to mind.
King Ning's voice rang out: "What are you doing?"
The Third Prince’s knife was right on my face. He turned a deaf ear to what others said and raised his hand to cut with the knife.
A flash of pity flashed in Yang Yan's eyes. He quickly stepped forward and grasped the Third Prince's hand: "Your Highness."
He shook his head.
The violence in the Third Prince's eyes dissipated a little, and he turned around and looked at Prince Ning: "What does this prince's affairs have to do with you?"
Prince Ning's eyes were icy as he said, "Your Highness, you want to hurt someone? As the Minister of Justice, I will never watch any of my subjects hurt others in front of me!"
"you……"
The third prince wanted to curse, "Who do you think you are?"
But Yang Yan whispered in his ear, "Your Highness, the Emperor loves Prince Ning very much. You must think twice!"
The third prince was very dissatisfied. No matter how much the emperor liked Prince Ning, could Prince Ning still surpass him?
But in the end, he held his anger and didn't continue.
The third prince was very angry and left with a group of people, including the attendants and eunuchs who followed his younger brother.
Prince Ning dismounted, walked over to help his younger brother up, and asked, "How are you?"
When his life was at stake, he missed Prince Ning so much, hoping he would come and save him. But now that the crisis was over, he still didn't want to show any favor to Prince Ning.
"fine."
The younger brother rubbed the aches and pains all over his body and prepared to go back, but he saw the same scene everywhere. Without anyone to lead the way, and with the enclosure being so huge, he had no way of finding the way back.
Prince Ning saw through it and said, "The enclosure is too big. If you wander around like this without encountering the guards, it would be bad if you encounter animals first."
Even if wild animals are kept in captivity and are not very aggressive, it does not mean that they are safe.
The younger brother paused. He didn't know the enclosure well, but he knew it was definitely dangerous. What should he do?
Prince Ning jumped on his horse and said to him, "Get on, I will take you back."
The younger brother was reluctant and looked around, still hoping to see the guards.
Prince Ning said, "The hunt is over, and the Third Prince has probably reached the resting area. Your family will be worried if they see the Third Prince return without you."
The younger brother's heart tightened. How could he have forgotten this? His father and sisters were still waiting for him.
Regardless of King Ning's identity, he has to go back first.
There were no more people along the road. The hunt was over, and people from all parties had left, and the guards were also leaving.
Prince Ning rode his horse leisurely and asked, "Do you have hostility towards me?"
