In the Nanyuan Royal Hunting Ground, Shen Shuyi sat in front of Li Zhan, riding a horse with him and galloping across the vast grassland.
The wind blew so hard that it hurt her cheeks, and Shen Shuyi quickly grabbed his arm.
"Your Majesty, please slow down."
Li Zhan slowed down his pace, lowered his head and chuckled in her ear, "Shuyi, don't you want to experience the feeling of fine clothes and galloping horses?"
"But it's too fast. It makes me dizzy."
"Okay, let's go back and rest."
"No, Your Majesty, please teach me archery. Once I learn it, I can even compete with you."
Li Zhan expressed his anticipation. He dismounted and returned to the camp holding the beauty.
There were many people standing in front of the camp, including Emperor Chen Junliu and his favorite Concubine Zhen, as well as a group of ministers and young men and women.
Many people's eyes fell on Li Zhan and Princess Xuanhua, they were really a perfect match.
The beauty was like the most beautiful flower on the grassland, making people unable to help but take a second look. However, due to the murderous aura of the regent, they did not dare to overstep the line.
Shen Shuyi glanced over and happened to meet the resentful gaze of Lu Zhener beside Chen Junliu.
[Host, be careful! Lu Zhen'er has arranged assassins to kill you, and Chen Junliu also wants to kill Li Zhan. A large number of assassins have already arrived.]
"Well, I just took this opportunity to detonate the hidden bomb between me and Li Zhan."
Given Li Zhan's intelligence, it is impossible for her to keep the secret of being a killer hidden for her entire life. Moreover, once Chen Junliu discovered her betrayal, he would definitely use it as a threat to sow discord.
It would be better to let her tear open the truth with her own hands.
[Host, please don't get hurt by the explosion. If Li Zhan can't handle it, he might kill you.]
Shen Shuyi chuckled and said nothing more. With an 80% favorability value, even if Li Zhan turned from love to hate, he would never kill her.
Hunting during the day and a bonfire party at night. Shen Shuyi drank a lot of wine, and Li Zhan also drank a lot. However, the light from the bonfire shone on his face, and he didn't look drunk, and his expression didn't change much.
Shen Shuyi asked System 66 to help keep an eye on Chen Junliu to see when he was going to take action.
During this hunt, she noticed that Li Zhan brought a lot of personal soldiers with him, and Chen Junliu must be looking for an opportunity.
The blazing bonfire gradually dimmed, marking the end of the bonfire dinner.
Li Zhan stood up and stretched out his hand to Chen Shuyi. Chen Shuyi raised her hand and held it. She thought Li Zhan would take her back to the tent, but unexpectedly the man bent down and steadily picked her up horizontally.
"It's late, let's go back and get some rest."
Chen Junliu almost crushed the wine glass in his hand when he saw Shen Shuyi shyly burying her face in Li Zhan's chest.
Is Shen Shuyi really going to betray him?
The leader who was in charge of the assassination of Li Zhan came to the emperor and asked, "Master, if Shen Shuyi rebels, should we take the opportunity to kill her as well?"
Chen Junliu pinched his brows and said, "Let her live first."
"yes!"
That night, Concubine Zhen summoned the imperial physician.
Ever since Lu Zhen'er fell into the lotus pond, her heart ached every once in a while. When the pain was severe, she turned pale and cold sweat broke out on her forehead.
The imperial physician came forward to feel her pulse and said, "Your Majesty is in good health. I apologize for my inability to find the cause of the pain."
"Useless!" Chen Junliu kicked the imperial physician to the ground. "What use do I have for you?"
"Change it."
The imperial doctors queuing behind stepped forward tremblingly, while those whose turn it was not yet were busy wiping the sweat from their foreheads.
They thought the emperor was horribly unreasonable and said the regent was extremely powerful and had killed countless people, but the imperial doctors who had treated the regent would not think so. At least the regent would not beat or kill people at will.
After several imperial physicians examined her, only one younger one guessed, "The Empress may have been poisoned by some unknown poison."
"What kind of poison is it? Is there any antidote?" Chen Junliu frowned. How could she be poisoned while she was in the harem?
Could it be that some criminals sneaked into the harem?
Chen Junliu was worried when he thought of this possibility. Today, the imperial concubine was poisoned. What about tomorrow...will he also...
"Your Majesty, I am incompetent..."
"Develop it for me. If you can't, I'll take your heads!"
The imperial doctors filed out, and Chen Junliu hugged Lu Zhen'er and asked, "Zhen'er, how do you feel?"
Lu Zhen'er seemed to have recovered, and she quickly grabbed Chen Junliu's hand.
"Your Majesty, I suspect that it was Shen Shuyi who did it. I felt pain in my heart after the sunset that day. You must believe me."
Chen Junliu hesitated to speak, "She also fell into the water. What can she do?"
Lu Zhen'er felt a pang of bitterness in her heart, and she said, "Your Majesty, she is just a secret guard. Is she more important than me?"
"Don't let your imagination run wild." Chen Junliu said immediately, "She's still useful to me."
Lu Zhen'er was exhausted and could no longer argue with Chen Junliu. The most important thing was that tomorrow was the day Shen Shuyi would die. Why would she bother with a dying person?
…
The next morning, the flags of the royal hunting grounds fluttered in the rustling autumn wind, and the gilded patterns shone so brightly in the morning sun that it was hard to open one's eyes.
Li Zhan half-supported and half-carried Shen Shuyi onto his Arabian horse. Her back was against the man's warm chest. She curled her fingertips and was about to say that she could try riding a horse alone when the man's arm around her waist tightened.
"Hold on tight." Li Zhan's voice was slightly hoarse from waking up in the morning, and he whispered behind her ear, "There's trouble in the forest today."
Shen Shuyi raised an eyebrow and tilted his head to look at him innocently: “Your Highness, are you afraid that someone will steal your first place?”
The cavalry slowly entered the dense forest, and the whistling sound of arrows breaking through the air gradually rose.
