Shen Lingjun had already guessed what was going on: "It should be like the previous nine-spotted rat, it was lured here by someone, and it came for me."
Mo Chonggui then turned to look at Shen Lingjun: "What are you doing here?"
Shen Lingjun paused for a moment when asked this question.
These three brown bears couldn't have followed her from the palace; they must have been sent to this forest beforehand to wait and attack her.
The key point is that it was Qi Xuan who called her here, but Qi Xuan shouldn't be able to harm her. She can also guarantee that it was indeed Qi Xuan at the time, and not someone in disguise.
Why did Qi Xuan bring her here? What did he originally want her to see?
It was too complicated to explain, and without knowing the whole story, Shen Lingjun didn't want Mo Chonggui to suspect Qi Xuan, so she simply didn't say anything and planned to ask Qi Xuan herself later.
He simply said, "I just came out for a casual stroll."
Mo Zhonggui looked at the three brown bears again, her expression very unfriendly.
The incident where the nine-spotted rat bit Shen Lingjun has still yielded no clues. The other party, having failed in their first attempt, probably wasn't satisfied with not being caught and came back a second time.
They absolutely must take Shen Lingjun's life!
The person behind this is far too arrogant!
Mo Chonggui pondered for a moment, then said to Shen Lingjun, "Let's keep quiet this time and set a trap right here. I'll lead my men back as usual, and when we find that the Crown Princess is missing, we'll send people to search for her. If we can't find her, the person behind this will most likely lose patience and come here to confirm whether you are truly dead. Whoever finds this place first will be the prime suspect."
Shen Lingjun understood immediately: "Good idea. Then I won't go back to the palace for now. Have someone surround this grove of trees."
Then he remembered something: "Oh right, could you send someone to call Qi Xuan out? I need to talk to him about something."
Mo Zhonggui agreed and then gave the order to arrange for men to ambush the area around the pine forest.
The corpses of the three brown bears were all taken away, and the mess left after the fierce battle was cleaned up and restored to its original state, as if nothing had ever happened.
Shen Lingjun waited outside the woods. After a while, the guard sent out by Mo Chonggui returned and said, "Your Highness, we haven't found Young Master Qi in the camp. We asked around, but no one knows where he went. I have already arranged for people to look for him."
Shen Lingjun was surprised that Qi Xuan had disappeared at this time, which made her feel even more confused.
If all her fellow disciples wanted her dead, then there were very few people in the world she could trust. Besides, Qi Xuan had no reason to harm her.
But what exactly happened to him?
Shen Lingjun couldn't figure it out, so she could only give up for the time being and wait until she found Qi Xuan.
At this time, Mo Chonggui had already led his men back to the camp. By evening, he "discovered" that the Crown Princess had not returned and was missing, so he sent people to search for her everywhere.
The news of the Crown Princess's disappearance quickly alarmed the entire palace and camp. Everyone who could be mobilized went to search, but after searching for half the night, they found no trace of her.
Shen Lingjun hid near that pine forest, just like the other guards lying in ambush there. He was well hidden and naturally could not be found.
