Grand Concubine Palace...
“The Third Prince's palace is indeed no ordinary place. Not just come back with no results, but they will never come back until anytime.” Grand Concubine Li Wei realized her two men had no hope of returning to report the results of their work.
Grand Concubine Li Wei again summoned two spies who were trained directly by the Li Family. However, this time he did not tell them to look for information in the Third Prince's palace.
“You both went to the capital of the Kingdom of Shu, gather as much information about Princess Liu Yao's two bodyguards,” he said.
The two people who had already understood about their duties, just as soon as the two of them left the Great Concubine Li Wei's room, and with the technique of lightening the bodies of the two went straight to the capital of Shu Kingdom.
As for Grand Consort Li Wei, this morning he was scheduled to attend the trial to determine Crown Prince Qin Yuwen's sentence, then in the afternoon he had to accompany King Qin Duan Ren in the series of birthday events of the King.
The Empress, who was also the mother of the Crown Prince, was unable to accompany the King due to problems with her health.
When Grand Concubine Li Wei came out of her palace, she met Princess Liu Yao's entourage who was enjoying the beauty of the Chen Kingdom palace area.
In the entourage of Princess Liu Yao, the two eyes of Grand Consort Li Wei were always fixed on the figure of the princess's bodyguard whose face was always covered in a mask. Despite being covered in a mask, Grand Consort Li Wei could see a pair of eyes that were familiar to him.
After saluting each other, the Grand Concubine and Princess Liu Yao's entourage went to their respective destinations. However, Grand Consort Li Wei found it hard to forget the eyes of Princess Liu Yao's personal bodyguard.
‘Everything I saw on him was almost the same as what the Third Prince had. However, I am still not sure if they are the same figure, before I find evidence that can uncover the truth of what I saw,’ Grand Concubine Li Wei said in her heart.
Continuing onward, Grand Concubine Li Wei's entourage finally arrived at the building, which served as the court office of the Chu Kingdom.
The arrival of Grand Concubine Li Wei was greeted directly by King Qin Duan Ren who happened to have arrived first at the court office.
As soon as the King and Grand Concubine entered the trial room, the supreme judge immediately began the trial.
Crown Prince Qin Yuwen, who is a suspect for many crimes, is ready to accept whatever punishment he will be given.
In the end, the trial, which lasted almost an hour, had decided on the punishment for Crown Prince Qin Yuwen.
Despite being able to escape the death penalty, Crown Prince Qin Yuwen must be willing to lose his Crown Prince title, even he also lost the title of the Royal Prince of Chu.
Qin Yuwen's current status was only that of a lower level resident in the Chu Kingdom, a low status that was only one level above a slave.
Besides having such a low status, Qin Yuwen also had to live a life on the border, and without being summoned directly by the King, he was not allowed to enter the Royal capital.
As for all the efforts that Qin Yuwen had, all were confiscated and belonged to the Kingdom. However, the King who was still on good terms, he let Qin Yuwen still have one of his businesses that was in the border region.
Once the punishment for Qin Yuwen had been decided, Grand Consort Li Wei asked the King for permission to return to his palace. The woman reasoned that she wanted to change her clothes before going to accompany the King to the hunting ground, which was included in the series of King's birthday events.
King Qin Duan Ren of course allowed the Grand Concubine to return to his palace, as he himself also had to return to his residence to make preparations before picking up the Grand Concubine, and together went to the hunting grounds.
On the other hand, a man smiled widely after confirming what punishment was given to Qin Yuwen.
That man was none other than Qin Hao, the Second Prince of Chu Kingdom who had long been eyeing the position of Crown Prince belonging to Qin Yuwen.
Now, with his expulsion of Qin Yuwen from the Kingdom and the disappearance of the Third Prince, he was the only Prince of the Chu Kingdom who deserved the title of Crown Prince.
“From all the options available, Father can only choose me to become Crown Prince, and become the sole successor of the King of the Kingdom of Chu.”.
“Perhaps, the only person I need to be aware of is the third Prince. If he returns, it is certain that Father will choose him as Crown Prince.”.
“No... no, I won't let it all happen! Whatever I will do to prevent that person from returning to the Chu Kingdom!.” murmured Prince Qin Hao, then he began to prepare a plan to get rid of the Third Prince, he said, if only he had returned to the Chu Kingdom.

Daytime in the forest not too far from Luoyang City...
All the Princes of the various Kingdoms and Empires were already preparing for the hunting event that was about to begin. The Second Prince who was the sole representative of the Chu Kingdom had also prepared everything, and he had already prepared some means to win the hunting event.
For the Princesses including Princess Liu Yao, they still participated in the hunting event, but their names were represented by bodyguards or generals who accompanied them. However, only bodyguards and young-aged Generals were allowed to represent their names.
Princess Liu Yao had no trouble determining who represented her as she had two bodyguards and a young General by her side. It didn't take much to think Princess Liu Yao had dropped the choice On Qin Chen and General Shang Hong to represent him, while Qiao Bao kept the security around him.
Qin Chen and General Shang Hong who had already been chosen by Princess Liu Yao, both of them immediately went to prepare for the hunting event, and they both promised not to disappoint Princess Liu Yao.
Qin Chen chose the arrow he wanted to use. While choosing the arrow, Qin Chen inevitably came face to face with Grand Concubine Li Wei who was looking at the weapon retrieval.
Realizing being noticed Grand Concubine Li Wei, Qin Chen calmly said to the woman, “What did Her Highness Grand Concubine do in this place? Looking at the age of the contents of His Majesty's Concubine, Your Majesty should not be too exhausted.” Qin Chen who had made a choice on the weapon of his choice, he just left immediately not waiting for Grand Concubine Li Wei's reply who clearly wanted to answer her question.
“From the broadcast he was not the Third Prince, but from the way he spoke really resembled the Third Prince. Wearing a mask with so much in common with him. You managed to make me very curious about your true identity,” muttered exclaimed Grand Concubine as she stared at Qin Chen's increasingly distant back.
As for Qin Chen who had just left away Grand Concubine Li Wei, he had already regrouped with General Shang Hong and the two looked so meticulously pick the horse they would use to hunt.
“General, we should choose these two horses..” Qin Chen pointed at the two horses that looked a little smaller than the other horses, then back he said, “While they are a little smaller, the muscles these two horses have are better, and again their breath is more regular than other horses.”.
General Shang Hong agreed with Qin Chen's choice, as he also saw the superiority of the two horses after hearing everything Qin Chen said.
Finished choosing the weapons and horse mounts, Qin Chen and General Shang Hong returned to Princess Liu Yao's place. Both of them remained on the horses standing gallantly before the special place that Princess Liu Yao occupied.
Once all the participants who participated in the hunt had finished choosing his weapons and horse mounts, King Qin Duan Ren got up from his seat, and after giving a few words of welcome he began the hunting event by throwing a blunt arrow towards the sky.
Qin Chen and General Shang Hong just drove their horses into the forest area. Both of them who both have a sharp instinct in determining the location of hunted animals, it is very easy for them to find hunted animals.
“General, what animal do you want to hunt? Wolf or deer?” qin Chen asked General Shang Hong when the two saw a pack of deer and some wolves.
“Mr Chen, how about we split the task? I hunt wolves, and Mr Chen hunt deer!” general Shang Hong said.
“Actually I want a wolf, but I also do not mind if I have to spend all the deer in this forest.” Qin Chen just shot two arrows, both of which just hit the head of two deer.
“Directly kill two deer in one arrow bow pull. Mr. Chen is indeed very extraordinary,” said General Shang Hong who just shot straight, hunting down a herd of wolves.
Qin Chen ignored General Shang Hong's departure because at the moment most of his attention was on the movement of the deer, “Because you guys are not leaving this place, meaning you guys do want to become my hunted beasts, and I will not hesitate to bring you before Princess Liu Yao as a result of my hunt.” Qin Chen again released an arrow, killing the deer that was within reach of his arrow.
The four Chu Kingdom warriors who accompanied Qin Chen, while showing a cynical smile unbeknownst to Qin Chen, they began to gather all the deer that were successfully hunted by Qin Chen.
