Chapter 19 Shooting Su Yanqiu
After Su Yuheng left the women's seat, he went into the peach forest.
It was March, the spring season, and peach blossoms covered the mountains and fields, covering the entire dense forest.
The dense forest of the Princess's Mansion is connected to the outside of Yanjing City. In addition to peach blossoms, there are some towering trees in this dense forest.
In order to ensure that everyone can have a great time at this spring banquet, the eldest princess arranged for people to release a lot of living creatures into the dense forest in advance.
Some young men and women from aristocratic families who did not participate in the examination jumped on their horses, pulled the reins and went to hunt in the dense forest.
Su Yuheng carried her skirt and walked into the depths of the dense forest. The peach blossoms all over the mountains soon hid her figure in the dense forest.
She found a peach tree in full bloom and stopped, then took out a jade flute from her sleeve and played it gently.
After a while, an unusual sound of footsteps was heard behind me.
"Sister Yuheng."
A gentle female voice was heard. Su Yuheng put the jade flute into his sleeve and turned around to see Princess Chaoyang leading a horse behind her.
Princess Chaoyang and she were close friends, and they had been like sisters since childhood. She and Huo Xingzhi were siblings from the same mother.
Ever since Su Yuheng cured the ugly scar on Chaoyang's face three years ago, Chaoyang and she have been close friends who can talk about anything.
She also often went to the princess's mansion to enjoy music and chat with Chaoyang, and had met Huo Xingzhi several times.
At that time, Huo Xingzhi had just won a battle, and the young man was full of heroic spirit, not as calm as he is now.
Chaoyang always mentioned her brother Huo Xingzhi in front of her, saying how good Huo Xingzhi was.
"Chaoyang, you are finally here." Su Yuheng raised the corners of his lips slightly and walked in front of Chaoyang.
Chaoyang smiled and threw the bow and arrow in his hand to her.
"Sister Yuheng asks me to come, and I will always come."
"I wanted to look for you in the jungle today, but I never expected to run into a woman who was dressed very similarly to you. She said she was your cousin."
Su Yuheng said: "She is indeed my cousin, and she is now in the Marquis' Mansion."
Chaoyang was a little dissatisfied and pouted, "Your cousin is obviously not simple. She even imitated your makeup and hair style. I almost made a mistake."
Su Yuheng said, "She wants to imitate, let's just let her do it."
"Thanks to you today, otherwise I wouldn't be able to bring this horse and this bow and arrow into the mansion."
Chaoyang sighed, reached out and gently stroked the horse's back, saying, "Sister Yuheng and I have been like sisters for many years. I don't know why you need this horse and this bow today, but you must have your reasons, and I won't ask any more."
She paused, glanced at Su Yuheng, and said, "Sister Yuheng looks like a fairy in this pink dress today."
"My royal brother is also in the northwest of the dense forest. If you encounter any problems later, go find my royal brother. He is a man who cherishes women, especially a beauty like you. He will definitely protect you."
Be gentle and considerate to women?
Su Yuheng frowned. She remembered that she was almost scared to death by Huo Xingzhi when she was in the City God Temple.
"I see."
"I have something important to do today, so I won't be accompanying the princess to enjoy the peach blossoms. I'll come to the princess's mansion to find you another day."
Chaoyang nodded, his eyes fell on the bow in Su Yuheng's hand and said, "Well, then I won't disturb Sister Yuheng from hunting."
After Chaoyang left, Su Yuheng took off the hairpin on her head and untied her bun.
In an instant, her inky black hair fluttered in the wind. She took out a wooden hairpin from her sleeve and tied her hair up.
Then he squatted down and buried the pulled-out pearl hairpin under the peach tree.
After everything was done, she jumped on the horse with her longbow, pulled the reins, and headed straight into the depths of the forest.
In a quiet and deserted place deep in the dense forest, Su Yanqiu and his personal bodyguard Mo Yu were rushing to the inspection site.
"Do you know what Heng'er is going to compete in today?" Su Yanqiu asked.
Mo Yu shook his head and said, "I don't know, but in previous years, the Fourth Young Lady was best at painting, so this year she should be painting as well."
"Painting?" Su Yanqiu frowned, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly when he thought of the painting in his darkroom.
"Heng'er is too conspicuous after all. I'm afraid someone might spot her during the competition. Go to the training grounds and send a message to her. Tell her to come to the forest to see me."
Mo Yu was a little surprised: "Prince, are we going now? What about Prince Qi's side?"
Su Yanqiu said, "There will naturally be someone on King Qi's side who will help him get things done."
"After the Spring Festival Banquet, the Fourth Young Lady is not allowed to leave the house without this prince's order. From now on, she can't go anywhere. This prince cannot allow her to show her face in public again."
"If I had the chance, I really want to imprison her in my Qingfeng Courtyard for the rest of her life."
Seeing Su Yanqiu being so paranoid, Mo Yu felt a chill on his back.
Su Yanqiu turned over and got off the horse.
Mo Yu handed him a longbow and whispered, "Why don't you tell the prince that the fourth young lady is not of the Su family's bloodline?"
"Let's say the Fourth Young Miss is an orphan with no relatives and that the Su family took pity on her and adopted her. This will not only make the Fourth Young Miss grateful to the Su family, but also prevent her from doubting her identity in the future."
Mo Yu's words made Su Yanqiu frown slightly. He suddenly thought that Mo Yu's method was not bad.
"She's an orphan with no one to rely on. If that's the case, our mansion has done her a favor. We can repay her with our favor and let her marry me."
Su Yanqiu seemed to feel suddenly enlightened, and a happy smile appeared on his face for a moment.
Su Yuheng was hiding in a secluded place. When he heard the conversation between the master and servant, he found it extremely ridiculous.
Grateful and repaying favors, this is indeed Su Yanqiu.
She took out a long arrow, pulled the bowstring suddenly, and stared at Su Yanqiu with a pair of hateful eyes.
She has a lot of things to do, and as long as Su Yanqiu is around, it will be extremely difficult for her to enter and leave the Marquis' Mansion in the future.
She curled her lips and snorted in her heart: "My good brother, let's see who can outplay whom in this life."
In front, Su Yanqiu walked into the depths of the dense forest. After taking just two steps, he suddenly felt something was wrong.
He turned his head to look into the hidden depths and saw only a few pink peach blossoms swaying in the wind.
He turned around subconsciously, and in an instant, a long arrow as fast as lightning shot straight at his forehead.
He dodged to the side, and the long arrow pierced through his arm.
"Master." Mo Yu ran over and saw that Su Yanqiu's face was already pale.
The red blood dripped onto the ground. Su Yanqiu gritted his teeth and, ignoring the pain, pulled the arrow out of his flesh.
He watched the movement in the hidden area ahead and said through gritted teeth, "I'd like to see who has the guts to hurt me at the Spring Banquet!"
After throwing down the arrow, he casually bandaged himself with his clothes, then jumped on his horse and chased after the figure in front.
The peach blossoms all over the mountains were blown gently by the wind, and the petals fell with the wind. He could not see the figure of the person in front of him, but only saw his hair, which must be a man.
Su Yuheng pulled the reins with one hand and patted the horse's back with the other, going deeper into the dense forest.
Behind him was Su Yanqiu who was pursuing him relentlessly.
She didn't expect that Su Yanqiu's life would not be taken today, but she made two preparations.
The arrow was coated with poison. Even if the long arrow did not pierce Su Yanqiu's head, it would pierce his arm.
As long as the arrow comes into contact with his flesh and blood, the poison will spread to his limbs and bones.
She patted the horse's back, thought of what Princess Chaoyang said, and immediately turned the horse's direction and headed northwest.
Huo Xingzhi was over there, so Su Yanqiu didn't dare to go forward.
The horse ran for about a quarter of an hour. When she saw the familiar tall black figure, she immediately jumped off the horse, pulled out the hairpin in her hand and stabbed it hard on the horse's back.
The horses were frightened in an instant and ran around like crazy in the dense forest, rushing towards Su Yanqiu.
Su Yanqiu was on the horse. Just as he was about to see where the person in front was going, he saw a horse charging towards him.
His eyes widened suddenly, and he was about to jump off the horse, but before he could sit firmly, he fell off the horse's back.
Hearing the noise, Huo Xingzhi turned around suddenly and saw Su Yuheng, dressed in men's clothes, coming towards him.
"Your Highness Prince Li, what a coincidence."
Su Yuheng went straight into Huo Xingzhi's arms without thinking and kissed his protruding Adam's apple.
The sudden courtesy made Huo Xingzhi's eyes change slightly.
It was not until he caught a glimpse of Su Yanqiu approaching from the corner of his eye that he realized what was going on.
He stretched out his broad palm, and swung the ink-black cloak suddenly, wrapping her slender body directly under the cloak.
His voice was low and filled with anger: "How dare you play tricks on me."
