Su Wenyuan no longer counted on him.
It's still better to rely on Sheng Jingyu. Sheng Jingyu has kept his eyes so well hidden, probably to guard against the Emperor.
The group began to discuss how to deal with Jinkouhe.
No one offered any specific suggestions, and Sheng Jingyu didn't offer any either. He simply fired an arrow as soon as the time was up, quickly turning Jinkouhe into a hedgehog.
The emperor neither ordered the release nor the execution, thus vaguely delaying the matter.
Empress Yuan and others tried every means to plead for them, but they couldn't even get past these ministers.
Their emotions were even more intense than before. Initially, they felt that Ankawa could not back down, as doing so would be considered an admission of weakness.
They are now seeking justice for Marquis Anle. Since the Emperor is not bringing up the past, they can only find some psychological comfort in the present situation.
This can be considered as doing something for Marquis Anle.
The most bewildered people right now are the military officers who have just returned from hunting.
It wasn't time yet, but everyone had received the news and rushed back to see what had happened.
Some people, with a sharp tongue and poor eyesight, would ask from afar, "Who's flying a kite over there?"
Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a living person.
Sheng Yuanhe was so surprised he couldn't close his mouth. He had only been hunting a few rabbits when this place became so lively.
Princess Heyi was at her wit's end, so she saw him and quickly ran over to ask him to plead for her.
Anyone can die, but not Jin Kouhe. If he dies, we'll be in big trouble.
Sheng Yuanhe did not rush to plead for leniency, but instead asked first, "What exactly happened? What happened?"
While others were talking, Jin Kouhe was hit by another arrow.
Sheng Yuanhe stared in astonishment at the scene. They were merely hunting prey in the woods, while Sheng Jingyu was killing a prince from another country for fun.
Not killing means playing around?
Such ruthless methods are terrifying to behold.
Sheng Jingyu leaned back in his chair, playing with the sachet at his waist, looking casual and languid, completely unaffected by the horrific and bloody scene.
"How is Princess Consort Chen?" the Emperor asked.
Ye Shan replied, "She is still unconscious, but the bleeding has stopped. She needs to rest well in the future. The princess is weak, and this arrow almost took her life."
To put it in an exaggerated way, it's easier to make a big deal out of it.
Princess Heyi gritted her teeth and said, "She was only hit by an arrow, it's not that serious. On the contrary, the Crown Prince is about to die. Why don't you put the Crown Prince down right now?"
Sheng Jingyu sneered, "You make it sound so easy. You've only been hit by an arrow? How about this, I'll shoot you an arrow too and see how serious it is."
Princess Heyi was just saying it offhand, and besides, what she said was true.
Jin Kouhe is already like a hedgehog, yet he still has the energy to shout. Su Wenyuan was only hit by an arrow, so why is she being so dramatic?
Empress Yuan's eyes suddenly lit up, and she seized the opportunity to say, "If the princess is willing to take this arrow, could Your Highness release Prince Jin?"
"What are you saying?" Princess Heyi was grinding her teeth in frustration.
She was pleading for Jin Kouhe, and her teammates wanted to push her out to take the blame?
Sheng Jingyu raised an eyebrow and said, "Sure."
It looks like Jinkouhe is going to fail. Originally, Sheng Jingyu was going to release it anyway.
However, because Sheng Jingyu always appeared aggressive, no one thought he intended to release Jinkouhe, which is why Empress Yuan resorted to this desperate measure.
Princess Heyi quickly refused, saying, "I won't..."
"Princess!" Empress Yuan emphasized, stopping Princess He Yi from saying what she was about to say.
The emperor remained silent, finding the scene quite amusing.
Princess Heyi has already started working for Qikong Kingdom. Does that mean they are having internal strife?
"Your Highness must keep your word," Empress Yuan said.
Sheng Jingyu smiled and said, "Alright, let the princess step forward."
Empress Yuan nudged Princess Heyi and explained, "The prince just said that you wanted to shoot arrows, not that you asked your guards to do it."
This is taking advantage of Sheng Jingyu's blindness; they really dare to imagine making a blind man shoot arrows.
Sheng Jingyu was also surprised, but not angry. He said, "What if I accidentally kill her?"
Empress Yuan spoke solemnly: "Princess Heyi is a princess sent for a peace treaty. If she dies here, the two countries will have to renegotiate peace."
He didn't care whether Princess Heyi was alive or dead; if she was, Anchuan Kingdom would just send another one.
Princess Heyi's face was ashen, and her whole body was trembling, not from fear, but from anger.
Nobody really cares whether she lives or dies.
The Emperor then advised, "Why don't we just let it go? Prince Jin has been shot with several arrows; you've already vented your anger."
Sheng Jingyu can't see it, so shooting off-target is unsightly and will make him a laughingstock.
If the arrow hits but doesn't injure a vital organ, that's fine. But if Princess Heyi dies, it will cause a lot of trouble later.
After much deliberation, the Emperor decided it was best to end this chaos as soon as possible.
They've been making a fuss for long enough, and Sheng Jingyu hasn't suffered any losses.
Unexpectedly, Sheng Jingyu said, "Princess Heyi thinks being shot by an arrow is nothing, and Lord Yuan has also agreed to let Princess Heyi replace Prince Jin. Does Father Emperor think there is anything wrong with that?"
Seeing that he was serious, the emperor frowned and said, "Your eyes..."
“You can’t see, but your hearing is still good. Will the princess speak for herself, or will you have my men stand behind you?” Sheng Jingyu raised his hand, gesturing for Ye Shan to hand him the bow and arrows.
Princess Heyi didn't believe he could shoot even if he couldn't see, and replied weakly, "I'll do it, but you can't keep me talking."
"Just one sentence will suffice." Sheng Jingyu stood up.
Everyone made way, and Princess Heyi stood at a distance.
The emperor didn't even want to look at it; wasn't this just making a fool of himself? They were putting on quite a show, though.
Sheng Yuanhe's expression turned solemn. If he could hit the target from such a distance using only sound, then all his years of training would have been for nothing.
He also recalled what Su Wenyuan had said before the hunt began.
Su Wenyuan said that Sheng Jingyu's horsemanship and archery skills have always been unmatched, even after so many years...
"We can begin!" Princess Heyi said, getting ready.
Just as she was about to speak again, an arrow suddenly flew over, pierced through her right shoulder, and embedded itself in the tree trunk behind her.
The whole process happened in the blink of an eye.
"Wow..." Su Wenyuan couldn't help but exclaim in surprise from afar.
Then he grimaced and covered his wound, crying out in pain.
Sheng Jingyu's clean and efficient movements amazed her.
So even from that far away, it's possible to hit the target?
The force and speed with which it can penetrate the body are unbelievable to anyone who sees it.
Fortunately, the archer was Jin Kouhe. If it had been Sheng Jingyu, she wouldn't have been able to dodge and would have died there long ago.
Everyone was equally astonished, thinking, "This is too fast! It even went through? How could he not see it?"
Sheng Jingyu calmly said, "The princess is injured here, so I don't intend to kill her. As for how serious the arrow wound is, the princess can decide for herself. Put the prince down."
Before anyone could react, Sheng Jingyu was already gone.
Sheng Yuanhe was heartbroken; he couldn't compare to Sheng Jingyu of yesteryear.
Even Sheng Jingyu, who is now blind, is no match for him.
