Chapter 213: Hidden Arrow
When she passed by a large tent that was obviously much more magnificent than her own tent, she suddenly saw the door curtain being lifted from the inside, and Qi Yi actually walked out from inside.
When Yun Wansheng looked at him, her eyes naturally glanced into the tent, and coincidentally, her eyes met the man inside who was looking outside.
This unexpected collision made Yun Wansheng's heart jump. She was originally walking slowly, but after seeing this, she immediately quickened her pace.
I just came out and wanted to say hello to her, but she just walked away without even paying attention to me. It was really rude.
Just as he was about to go to eat, he heard his master calling him from inside the tent: "Ni Yi, come in for a moment."
Yun Wansheng found the kitchen, borrowed the bowls and chopsticks there, prepared her meal, and then walked back.
When she was about to reach the place she had to pass, she saw Qi Yi still waiting at the door of the big tent.
This made her think in her heart that the man was too unkind. It was time for dinner but he didn't even let his subordinates go to eat.
Muttering to himself, he walked closer to the big tent. In order to avoid letting the people inside hear his voice, he decided not to greet the guard.
But she didn't say anything, so Na Yi took two steps forward to stop her: "Miss Yun, the Regent wants to ask about your eldest brother. Once he has clarified the matter, you can return to the tent."
Upon hearing this, Yun Wansheng subconsciously glanced at the guards standing guard on both sides of the door.
"Guard, do you know why the Regent wants to see me?" Yun Wansheng knew that the man was definitely not looking for her to ask about Shangguan Lan.
But she couldn't just walk away in front of outsiders; if she did, it would definitely arouse suspicion.
"Miss Yun, the Regent didn't tell me, so you should go in and ask him! Please come in!" He lifted the curtain and gestured for her to come in with his eyes.
Yun Wansheng paused for a moment, then pursed her red lips and walked into the luxurious tent.
As soon as he saw her enter, he put the curtains away and whispered to the guards standing on both sides: "Don't let outsiders get close to the tent."
"yes!"
Yun Wansheng in the tent looked at Mu Xingci who was sitting at the table: "What do you want from me?"
Mu Xingci looked at the woman standing at the door, his brows softened, and he raised his hand to beckon her: "Come and sit down!"
"No! If you're okay, I'll go back. I'm afraid of being misunderstood." After saying that, he was about to leave.
"Wan Sheng, are you so afraid that I will implicate you?" Mu Xingci stood up and walked towards her.
Yun Wansheng's eyes paused slightly: "Of course! Let's not meet alone again in the future, especially now." After saying that, she turned around and wanted to leave without waiting for the man to reply.
But before she could take the second step, her arm was grabbed by the man who was walking towards her. Before she could break free, she was pulled back and fell into the man's arms. Then she felt a tightening around her waist, bringing her closer to the man.
"What are you doing? Let me go!" Yun Wansheng struggled in a panic.
Does this daring dog know what he is doing now? If someone finds out that the two of them are together, things will be even more troublesome later.
"Don't be afraid! As long as you don't shout, no one will know that I'm hugging you." Mu Xingci smiled roguely, then let go of her, but took the bowl from her hand.
"Let me see what you are eating?" As he said this, he saw that the bowl was mostly filled with rice, covered with two dishes, one meat and one vegetable. It was simple but not shabby.
"There are not enough dishes. Come here and eat with me before you leave." As he said this, he was about to lead the person to the table.
"No need. The food is very good. There are vegetables and meat. It's enough." Yun Wansheng glanced at the eight dishes on his table and then took her bowl.
"Regent, I don't want to cause any trouble at this critical juncture." He said in a light tone and walked out with the bowl.
Mu Xingci watched her leave, his eyes tinged with determination: "Yun Wansheng, don't even think about getting rid of me in this lifetime. If you continue to be so stubborn, I don't mind using force again."
The hunt began in the afternoon. Mu Xingci and Shangguan Lan escorted the little emperor up the mountain, followed by several officials.
The other officials and the women formed their own groups and then dispersed to go up the mountain.
Yun Wansheng deliberately kept an eye on the Duke in secret, and saw him and his men rushing towards the West Mountain.
The momentum that was unique to him as a soldier was so majestic and powerful that it made people feel afraid.
Watching them climb up the mountain, Yun Wansheng's eyes were filled with worry and expectation. He didn't know how Mu Xingci was going to plot against him.
When I returned to my tent, I found that there was no one inside. I guess they all went up the mountain.
Yun Wansheng thought for a moment, then carried the prepared bow and arrow to the stable, asked the soldier in charge of the horses for a black horse, and drove towards the southeast mountain.
Because there were only women from official families in this direction, in order not to arouse suspicion, she could only pretend to go up the mountain.
Not long after she went up the mountain, she caught up with a few young ladies. Thinking that she was not familiar with them, she did not say hello and continued driving inside.
Not long after running, she saw a sika deer running past in front of her. This instantly made her interested in hunting. She immediately drew her bow and arrow, stepped on her horse and chased after it.
While chasing, she met a few women again, and they also saw the sika deer.
Then, five or six women from official families also chased after him, determined to compete with him.
Yun Wansheng was not annoyed when she saw someone competing with her. Hunting is fun only when there is competition. This made her take it seriously immediately, even though she was not very interested at first.
After being chased and blocked, the sika deer was surrounded by several women in a sparse grove, and it could be vaguely seen standing behind a small tree.
Yun Wansheng raised her bow and aimed at it, and other women also aimed at it.
Just as everyone shot their arrows, a woman's scream echoed around, making several women look slightly frightened. They didn't even bother to check whether the deer was dead or not, but looked in the direction of the scream.
They saw a woman had fallen off her horse, with a sharp arrow stuck in her back. This made them instinctively look behind the woman, but they found no one behind her.
Someone was injured, and no one was in the mood to look at the prey, so they all ran towards the woman.
The Prime Minister's daughter, Tang Lian'er, took the lead and carefully helped the person up. Only then did she see clearly who it was.
"Madam Yun?"
"It's really her. Who is so blind to shoot someone?" The other woman obviously also recognized Yun Wansheng.
"Madam Yun, how do you feel?" Tang Lian'er looked at the arrow and saw that the arrowhead had hit her back. She didn't know if she was in danger.
Yun Wansheng's face was pale at this moment, and she felt an unbearable pain in her heart. "Ms. Tang...Ms. Tang, please go...find my elder brother."
"Okay! You wait!" Tang Lian'er agreed readily, "Zhao Simei, you guys take care of her. I'll be back soon."
After all, this woman is engaged to her cousin, so it is only right and proper for me to help her.
