Chapter 225 Idiot

When the two of them walked out, the emperor was also escorted out of the dragon tent.

"Your Majesty." Liangpin called out in a delicate voice and walked up with her waist twisted.

The scene of an old man and a young wife was so beautiful that Shen Anan found it a little spicy. If she said that the two had not hooked up before the former Liangpin, she would not believe it.

The emperor glanced at Shen Anan through Liangpin.

"Greetings, Father." Shen Anan knelt down and saluted.

Liangpin immediately said, "I was afraid that I would be bored staying outside alone, so I thought of asking the Fourth Prince's wife to talk to me."

"Well," the emperor replied calmly, "you'll be my companion, as long as you stay outside and don't run around."

These words sounded like concern, and Shen Anan only felt that the ability of these two people to cooperate in acting was really amazing.

Perhaps all the civil and military officials were watching her, and they were worried that something might happen to her in the hunting grounds and that she wouldn't be able to explain to Xiao Yuan.

"Don't worry, father. Your daughter-in-law will pay attention to her safety and will never run around."

The emperor looked at her deeply, then continued walking forward.

He was escorted onto the tall horse in the middle. The palace maids and eunuchs had already tied the prepared high-quality arrow feathers to the horse.

"Today's hunting is the same as in previous years. Everyone can participate. The person who hunts the most prey will be the champion today. I will reward you handsomely when you return to the palace!"

The people on horseback were excited and ready to go.

The hunting ground is the time to demonstrate one's kung fu. If one can catch the emperor's eye, he might be able to rise rapidly among the military officers.

But the emperor's target was not on the periphery.

With the help of the palace maid, Liangpin got on the docile pony that the eunuch had prepared long ago. Shen Anan looked at her posture and it didn't look like she had learned it before. She was pretending, and even the hand pulling the reins was pinched with an orchid finger.

Liangpin looked at her, and Shen Anan jumped up without saying a word. The horse was much lower than ordinary horses.

Liangpin raised her eyes slightly and looked away.

"Fourth Prince's wife, the reins of this horse are old. I will replace them for you."

The groom walked forward with a smile, and when he approached Shen Anan, he said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Master Qingfeng has left."

"Um."

At this moment, the eunuch's sharp voice rang out.

The emperor took the lead, and the horses of the other officials' sons rushed out one after another, heading straight for the depths of Lingshan Mountain.

"Your Majesty, there is a little rabbit over there. It's so cute."

Along the way, Liangpin was heard talking in a mixed tone. The emperor also gave her face and hunted many small things for her.

Concubine Liang became more and more presumptuous and began to show off her power.

Shen Anan followed slowly behind the others.

"Your Majesty, look, it's a deer!" an official said excitedly.

The emperor raised his eyes and looked into the woods. Sure enough, he saw a shadow running fast, and his eyes lit up.

"Your Majesty, that is a deep mountain. I am afraid."

Shen Anan raised her eyes and glanced at the pretentious Liangpin.

Didn’t you say when you came that we should wait outside and the emperor would go to the mountains? What are you pretending to be now?

"You and the Fourth Prince's Consort wait outside. I will be back soon."

"Well then," Liangpin pouted and said reluctantly, "Then you must pay attention to safety. I wish the emperor a happy return."

The emperor whipped his horse whip and was escorted into the mountains by the crowd, amid the flattery of Concubine Liang.

"Riding a horse is really tiring. If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have come here."

She got off the horse and sat down on the grass. She stopped speaking and returned to her normal tone.

Shen Anan felt that her ears were finally not suffering so much.

"The hunt will probably take most of the day, so shall we just sit here and wait?" Shen Anan also jumped off the horse.

"Otherwise, you want to go back early after accompanying the emperor on a hunting trip?"

Is there a way back? Liangpin snorted coldly, with a cold light in her eyes.

"So what are we having for lunch?"

“Roasted rabbit.”

Shen Anan looked at the cute rabbit in her mouth on the horse's back, and the corners of her mouth twitched.

Why does she dislike this hypocritical woman so much?

"Sit down. What are you daydreaming about?" Liangpin patted the seat beside her. "Are you still worried that I will hurt you?"

Shen Anan raised his head and glanced at the swaying branches not far away, then walked over with an expressionless face.

"In fact, I never understood why you don't like me." Liangpin tilted her head and looked at Shen Anan, "That day in Luoying Palace, I think I behaved very well, well-behaved and docile."

“…”

Shen Anan, "No one would like a woman who competes with them for a husband, especially since we are newlyweds."

"Just for this?" Liangpin was a little surprised, "Don't you dislike the Fourth Prince?"

"Who said that?"

Liangpin retracted her gaze and looked forward, "No matter who said it, I just know that you married the Fourth Prince just for the Shen family."

"Then did you marry the emperor because you loved him?" Shen Anan glanced at her, "If not, then you are now on the same front with the emperor, helping him do things."

Liangpin's eyes flickered, but she said nothing.

"The Fourth Prince is my husband, my man. Whether he likes me or not is our private matter. Now that the door is open, we are a family that stands united against all odds, with no distinction between us."

"There is no difference between us." Liangpin muttered silently, with a dazed look on her face. "I thought the royal family was only about use and value."

For example, her aunt.

Shen Anan stared at her and suddenly said, "The fate of the former Liangpin is still before my eyes. I don't understand why you want to get involved in this muddy water."

"Her fate was caused by her stupidity." A hint of disgust flashed across Liangpin's eyes.

"What's even more ridiculous is that, even now, she still hasn't figured out what the problem is. Before she died, she was still shouting that she was wronged and said that the maid was talking nonsense. Little did she know that the maid had betrayed her a long time ago."

"Everything was ordered by the emperor, and she was just a scapegoat."

Liangpin laughed sarcastically.

Shen Anan heard about what happened at the flower-viewing banquet in the palace that day, and Liangpin's frank statement made her alarm bells ring.

She immediately stood up from the ground and stared at Liangpin with cold eyes.

Liangpin laughed, "You are quite perceptive. Why, are you scared?"

Shen Anan said nothing, just stared at her.

Liangpin also supported herself and stood up from the ground, "Don't say you didn't guess that I asked you to come to the hunting ground today just to deal with you."

Of course Shen Anan guessed it, and she also knew that if she told the emperor about the former Liangpin's maid, she would be 100% sure that she would die here.

Liangpin sighed, "In fact, what I admire most is your courage. You dare to come here alone even though you know it's dangerous."

"But there is nothing I can do if you don't come. If I want you to die, I have a hundred ways to make you die quietly here."

"What did the emperor promise to your Li family that made you so reckless? Aren't you afraid that Xiao Yuan will come back and settle the score with you?"

Liangpin's expression seemed to change, and then she smiled and said, "The emperor doesn't like the fourth prince, so what can he do if he comes back? He is just a grasshopper in autumn, and he won't be able to jump for a few days."

Shen Anan narrowed her eyes, her hand suddenly reached for her waist, and before Liangpin could react, she put the knife to her neck.

“It is better to strike first than to wait to be controlled by others.”

Liangpin's face turned pale instantly. She never thought that Shen Anan would carry a dagger.

"You...you dare, I am the emperor's woman, if you dare to hurt me, it will be a capital crime."

Shen Anan said expressionlessly, "Compared to the death penalty you will face after leaving the hunting ground, isn't it more important to save your life right now?"

She thrust the dagger forward, and blood immediately oozed from Liangpin's slender white neck.

Liangpin was immediately shocked and screamed, "Come quickly, what are you waiting for?"

Shen Anan narrowed her eyes and looked around.

"Fool," a woman dressed as a palace maid came out from behind the bushes and glared at Liangpin coldly, "You are incapable of accomplishing anything, but more likely to cause trouble than accomplish anything."

Liangpin did not refute, after all, she was still waiting for the palace maid to save her life.

She didn't expect that Shen Anan would act like this after just a few provocative words.

"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and find a way to save me."

“Shut up.” The maid glared at Concubine Liang and turned her gaze to Shen Anan.

The plan has changed from the beginning, and Shen Anan has an additional hostage, Liangpin. But it doesn't matter. As long as Shen Anan can be eliminated, it is worthwhile to sacrifice Liangpin.

Besides, it was her own fault.

She narrowed her eyes, drew her bow and arrow, and aimed at Shen Anan's brow.

"What are you going to do?" Liangpin widened her eyes in horror, guessing that the palace maid was going to abandon her.

"I am the emperor's woman, and my father is still in there, he won't let me go..."

call out--

The palace maid's arrow shot out and sank deeply into Liangpin's shoulder blade. Her face immediately turned pale in pain and her waist bent slightly.

“If you don’t shut up, the next shot will be in your heart.” The maid said coldly, and suddenly shifted the arrow to aim at Shen Anan.

"Are you alone?" Shen Anan looked around, "How did you have the courage to show up?"

"I am alone, it is enough to kill you."

Shen Anan glanced at Liangpin, who was trembling in pain, and smiled, "The reinforcements haven't arrived yet, right? I guess it's not the time you agreed on yet?"

The maid frowned, and Shen Anan knew that she had guessed right.

"Then it seems that I should thank Lady Liangpin. If she hadn't revealed it to me, I would have taken action earlier and called you out. When the reinforcements arrived, I would have been unable to escape."

"Thank you, Madam Liangpin."

Liangpin's lips were trembling and she looked at the palace maid pleadingly, but the palace maid's eyes were full of disgust and hatred.

If the plan was ruined today because of her, she would let the emperor skin her alive.

She aimed at Shen Anan's brow and slowly loosened her fingers.

The arrow feathers shot towards Shen Anan quickly with the sound of whistling wind.

At this moment, a black shadow flashed quickly from somewhere, and the arrow feather instantly broke into two pieces and fell to the ground.

The palace maid frowned, and then shot the second arrow and the third arrow.

They were both stopped by the man in black, and after a few rounds, the two started fighting in mid-air.

Shen Anan looked up and squinted at the sky.

Liangpin suddenly said, "You did it on purpose. You had already arranged for people to wait here. Even if I didn't say anything, you would force them out in advance, right?"

"Didn't you ask her to come out and rescue you? What does it have to do with me? Besides, how could you think that I would dare to come here alone without my secret guards?"

Liangpin choked.

They naturally knew about it, so they prepared a lot of manpower, but they haven't arrived yet.

"She is obviously stupid," Liangpin glared at the palace maid who was fighting with the man in black, "How dare she come out alone, idiot."

When the emperor asked her about it, she said that she acted like that because she thought everyone was present. It was Jianqiu who acted on her own and was exposed.

Shen Anan looked at Liangpin like a fool, lowered her head and glanced at him, "If she doesn't come out, my people won't be able to find her?"

She was shouting and screaming, did she think her people were blind?

Liangpin fell silent immediately.
