When a novice practices archery with his arms exposed, the area inside his wrist can easily be injured by the bowstring, leaving a bruise.
There were bruises on Shen Wei's elbows.
Looking at Shen Wei's left index finger, the skin was already broken, and the red between the white fingers was really shocking.
Shen Wei seemed not to notice: "I don't feel good wearing the arm guard, so I took it off. Archery is very interesting. Watching the sharp arrow pierce the target makes me very happy."
Li Yuanjing's eyes were gloomy.
I suddenly felt a little regretful. I shouldn't have taught Weiwei archery on a whim.
Archery is a man's thing. How could Shen Wei, a delicate woman, endure such suffering?
"Don't practice anymore in the future." Li Yuanjing looked at the bruises on Shen Wei's arm, his heart aching.
Chen Wei smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I am not afraid of hardship. If I can become a master archer, I can protect you if you are in danger in the future—"
After a pause, Shen Wei suddenly lowered her head and added sullenly: "Three years ago, you took me to the hot spring villa. On the way, you encountered an assassin and were shot by an arrow... At that time, I thought that if I could shoot arrows and do some martial arts, maybe you would be less injured..."
Look, she practiced archery so hard not just for herself.
She did all this for the Emperor!
Are you touched?
Li Yuanjing's heart was filled with emotions as he recalled the events of three years ago.
He held Shen Wei tightly in his arms, lowered his head and kissed Shen Wei's hair, his heart was filled with dense pain, mixed with unconcealable emotion and love: "I am a man, how can I rely on a woman's protection."
At dawn, all people in the world are praying for the emperor's protection.
Only his Weiwei actually wanted to protect him with her weak shoulders.
"Come here, remove the target." Li Yuanjing ordered.
Shen Wei was shocked and grabbed Li Yuanjing's sleeve: "Your Majesty!"
Li Yuanjing stroked her hair and said, "Weiwei, be obedient. You don't need to practice archery anymore. I will protect you for the rest of your life."
Shen Wei curled her lips silently in her heart.
Life is long, how can it be smooth sailing?
But on her face, Shen Wei still pretended to be surprised, and then tears welled up in her eyes: "Your Majesty is my heaven, and I want your Majesty to live a safe and smooth life."
The two hugged each other tenderly for a while until the eunuch came to announce that dinner was ready.
Li Yuanjing personally applied ointment to Shen Wei's arm, and the two of them had a meal together.
Perhaps out of concern for the bruises on Chen Wei's arms, Li Yuanjing was very quiet and just hugged Chen Wei and fell asleep.
Late at night, Yongning Palace was quiet. Shen Wei listened to the even breathing sound coming from her ears and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
The self-torture tactic was still useful, and she finally didn't have to practice archery anymore.
...
...
On the second day, Chen Mieyue escorted the Yue State delegation to Yanjing City. Chen Mieyue is a famous god of war who protects the peace of Daqing and has a very high reputation among the people.
In the past few decades, in the border wars between Qing and Yue, Yue often had the upper hand.
Since the emergence of Shenmie Yue, Yue State has not gained any benefits from the war.
As soon as Chen Mieyue entered Yanjing City, the people lined the streets to welcome him. There were also groups of young people who excitedly raised their arms and shouted that the general was mighty.
The news reached Shen Wei in the palace. Cai Ping danced with joy, her eyes showing undisguised admiration: "Master, General Chen Mieyue is majestic and powerful, and in his armor, he looks exactly like the god of war in the picture book! The people lined the streets to welcome him, shouting that he is a great hero."
“There are many children, jumping and following General Shen Mieyue, saying that they are willing to be General Shen’s soldiers and swear to follow the great general Shenwu until death.”
Cai Ping chattered non-stop, obviously admiring Shen Mieyue very much.
Shen Wei's frown deepened, and she put the account book down with a snap.
She smelled a conspiracy.
It is understandable that Chen Mieyue returned to the capital in compliance with the imperial order and the people lined the streets to welcome the general's return. But inexplicably, there were more young men and ignorant children who claimed that they wanted to follow Chen Mieyue.
Where does this put the emperor?
A minister whose reputation exceeds that of the current emperor is considered to be too great to be trusted by the emperor!
Shen Wei asked, "Has my elder brother entered the palace?"
Cai Ping replied, "He has not yet entered the palace. At this hour, the envoy should be sent to the embassy."
Shen Wei hurriedly fetched paper and pen and quickly wrote a note. She handed the note to Cai Ping and said, "Run faster and find a guard named Liu Erniu at the palace gate before my elder brother enters. Ask Liu Erniu to give the note to my elder brother."
Cai Ping saw that Chen Wei had a serious expression on her face, so she immediately retracted her smile and took the note cautiously: "I will do it right away."
Caiping greased her feet and ran very fast.
In the room, Shen Wei held the brush and called the eunuch Jixiang again: "Jixiang, contact Shopkeeper Ye of Weiyanji. Ask her to find out who instructed those nonsense kids."
Shen Wei was not idle during the three years she spent in Donghua Mountain. She worked hard to expand the shops in Yanjing, and relying on her business empire, she established her own information network to keep abreast of the latest developments in Yanjing.
In addition to doing business, Ye Qiushuang, the owner of Wei Yan Ji, also secretly operates this huge information network.
Jixiang receives the order.
Shen Wei thought about it, and suddenly called Jixiang again: "Wait."
Jixiang turned around and said, "Master, do you have any other instructions?"
Shen Wei thought for a moment and smiled coldly: "Forget it, there is no need to ask Shopkeeper Ye to investigate. Let the emperor personally investigate the instigator of the youth and the child..."
The emperor can gain the greatest benefit by finding out the instigator behind the scenes.
The rats in the gutter dared to fan the flames secretly, so Shen Wei simply let the fire burn more vigorously and let the person behind the scenes get burned.
