The Fourth Prince had no choice but to let her get on the horse as well. The race began, and the two of them walked through the dense forest. The Fourth Prince was a little anxious and said to her in front, "Get off!"
Hua Xiangrong held the reins in his hand and asked, "You want to win?"
"certainly!"
"But I want to lose!"
The Fourth Prince looked at her in disbelief: "Do you hate the palace so much?"
"It's not annoying," she said, deliberately spurring the horse to go faster and farther away from the guards, "it's extremely annoying."
Seeing her like this, the Fourth Prince threw her off his horse and said, "I want to win."
"You think you've won?" she said. "You know the emperor will never let you leave the palace! You are the future emperor."
The fourth prince turned around and looked at her suspiciously: "What nonsense are you talking about?" The emperor has always been optimistic about the prince and never taken him seriously.
"Think about it," she stood up, "Why did the Emperor want to marry me to the Crown Prince? Everyone knows that the Prime Minister's Mansion has always been at odds with the Crown Prince. And what about your injury? Was it an accident?"
The Fourth Prince dismounted, the pain in his feet no longer a big deal. If anyone else had heard what she said, they would have lost their heads. But he didn't understand her purpose in doing this; it seemed she wouldn't gain anything from it.
She walked around a tree and continued, "The Emperor will not lose. He will send people to give the Crown Prince plenty of prey. You are just pawns in his hands, and you can only act according to his ideas."
The fourth prince was a little unhappy: "Father is not that kind of person."
"You've been in the palace for so long, haven't you seen this clearly?"
The Fourth Prince looked at her. Why was this woman's idea so incredible? "If we lose, what will you do?"
"Don't use 'we'," she emphasized. "You are you, and I am me. In fact, this bet is in your favor. What if the prince wins? Will the prime minister let him off? Who will the prime minister support then? Of course, you! With the support of the emperor and the prime minister, you can become the future emperor. If the prince loses, that's even better. The emperor has an excuse, and the prime minister has another reason. I will marry you, and you will still be the future emperor."
The Fourth Prince stood there, never expecting the end result to be something he didn't want. He didn't want to stay in the palace, let alone become the emperor. He just wanted to be a simple person.
Hua Xiangrong lay on a soft lawn, waiting patiently for the prince to receive the "prey" that the emperor had already prepared.
The Fourth Prince looked at her and asked, "Does Father think so too?"
"No, he thinks differently than I do," she said. "He hopes the prince will win."
"Go!" said the Fourth Prince. "Ride away on horseback, the farther away from here the better."
She remained unmoved and continued to enjoy the fresh air brought by the forest. She hadn't smelled such air for a long time, and it was truly refreshing.
He forced her onto the horse.
"But I have a way!" Hua Xiangrong said, "You can get the result you want."
The Fourth Prince blinked. "What?"
She touched the bow and arrow on the horse and said, "Watch me." She rode away.
The guards hurried over, and the Fourth Prince rode another horse and chased her. Her bow and arrow were aimed at the Crown Prince. The Fourth Prince stood between them and looked at Hua Xiangrong: "What are you doing?"
"I'm trying to scare him." She lowered her bow and arrow. The prince had sensed something. He was not a soft-hearted man, and he knew who his enemies were.
The Crown Prince shot an arrow from his bow, hitting the Fourth Prince in the back. The guards were in chaos, and only she got on the Fourth Prince's horse and drove him back.
"Your Majesty!" Hua Xiangrong's voice was loud, attracting everyone's attention. The Fourth Prince endured the pain and became even more suspicious of Hua Xiangrong. She was so full of thoughts that he couldn't predict what she would do next.
"Quickly call the imperial physician!" The emperor noticed the fourth prince's injury and quickly sent someone to carry him into the tent. While the imperial physician was busy removing the long arrow, the emperor was busy blaming the guards.
Hua Xiangrong stared at the Fourth Prince. He had made a profit from this arrow.
A day passed, and the Fourth Prince awoke. The Emperor's decree also arrived: "From this day forward, the Fourth Prince is enthroned as the Fourth Prince, residing in the Fourth Prince's Palace. Special permission is granted for him to recuperate at home. Hua Xiangrong is enthroned as the Fourth Prince's Consort, and will reside with the Fourth Prince in the Fourth Prince's Palace."
An imperial decree gave everyone the result they wanted.
She also left the palace.
The commercial started and people around booed.
Dongya was getting a little impatient waiting and asked a child next to him, "Is there only one TV here?"
"Yeah," the child nodded, "adults don't watch TV, only we do."
"Go have fun!" Dongya gave him some money, "Buy something and share it with your friends."
"Thank you." The child was very polite.
Ouyang stood up, stretched, put on her sunglasses, and continued to pretend to be blind. The children kept circling around her for fun, giving her some small toys from time to time.
"Auntie, where are you going?" asked a little boy.
"Where is Xiaoqin's house?"
"Xiaoqin?" the other party asked in surprise, "She has already returned to her hometown and lives here."
"Yeah?"
Dong Ya followed her, and he was surprised to find someone she knew here. He was impressed. Soon she turned into a small alley and disappeared.
Soon, he felt something hit him hard from behind, causing him to fall to the ground and gradually lose consciousness.
Ouyang, who was hiding in a room, told the children next to him to be quiet: "Shh!"
