"If you follow me again, I'll have someone throw you off the mountain!" Gan Qiongying chased Song Ci away. This time, Song Ci didn't pester her and quickly disappeared from Gan Qiongying's sight.
Just then, amidst the noise, an announcement came: "Grand Princess Huian has arrived."
Her heart, which had been at ease, was stirred again. Gan Qiongying turned around and saw the sedan chair of the Grand Princess of Hui'an. She looked at the sedan chair and then at the scene, and was immediately shocked.
The fighting continued, and the sedan chair of the Grand Princess of Hui'an was getting closer and closer. Because many people had already gathered outside, the Grand Princess of Hui'an had to get out of the sedan chair ahead of time.
From afar, Gan Qiongying saw that her aunt without eyebrows and another aunt were supporting Princess Hui'an, who was swaying and in poor condition.
Gan Qiongying's words at the banquet clearly had a significant impact on Princess Hui'an. She was still not fully rested and had to be supported by two people to walk properly.
She was clearly putting on a brave face to try and break up the fight.
Princess Hui'an walked towards the center of the field, with attendants constantly pushing through the crowd to clear a path. However, there were too many people gathered, and they had completely lost their minds.
The sudden dispersal caused people to jostle and trample each other, and a fire pit on a fire stand that was taller than a person was suddenly knocked over by the crowd.
The brazier was smashed down, sending up countless sparks that landed just a few steps away from Princess Hui'an. Princess Hui'an even felt a heat in front of her and smelled the kerosene from the brazier.
The maids and servants nearby were all startled. Princess Huian screamed and her legs went weak, causing her to sit down on the ground.
Gan Qiongying immediately pushed through the crowd and rushed over. Fortunately, the brazier landed upside down, and most of the fire was contained by the brazier, so no one was injured.
But oil kept leaking from the edge of the brazier and was still burning as it flowed onto the ground. Princess Hui'an was terrified. When she was helped up from the ground, she was swaying and breathing rapidly, and her vision was blurring.
A gust of wind suddenly blew by, and Princess Hui'an, looking at the flickering flames on the ground, closed her eyes and fainted again.
"aunt!"
Seeing the pale-faced Princess Hui'an, Gan Qiongying quickly called several maids to help her into the sedan chair. The eyebrowless aunt immediately had someone summon Physician Wu and go to the courtyard to wait.
Gan Qiongying ran a few steps following the palanquin of the Grand Princess of Hui'an, then suddenly stopped. She turned back to look at the still noisy crowd, shouting like madmen, her eyes filled with anger.
She turned around and strode into the arena. Seeing the two people who hadn't stopped fighting, her anger was like a fire that had been overturned on the ground, roaring and raging.
The group of young noblemen, who were clearly already in a frenzy, were still partying, seemingly eager to create chaos. Not one of them paid any attention to the Grand Princess Hui'an, who had just arrived and fainted again.
Gan Qiongying herself did not realize how terrifying her gaze was at that moment.
The plot has deviated significantly from the descriptions in the book at this point, but Gan Qiongying is unaware that because of her interference in the plot, it has completely fallen apart.
Originally, Zhongli Zhengzhen and the Regent could be easily dissuaded by the women they loved, but now the two have completely lost control and cannot listen to any words of advice.
The servant's voice was loud and clear, and he shouted several times, so it was impossible for the people present not to hear it. However, the two of them still ignored it and started fighting. The young men from the noble families seemed to be deaf to their words.
These people are like a group of puppets that have lost their strings, or NPCs whose programs have been programmed malfunctioning.
Gan Qiongying looked around and her gaze locked onto the bow and arrow not far away. She walked over aggressively, took the bow and arrow down, and then tore at the hem of her clothes.
She wrapped a thin strip of cloth around the arrowhead, went straight to the spilled oil, lit the arrowhead, and then drew the bow fully.
Gan Qiongying aimed at the two people still fighting in the arena and fired an arrow. The arrow struck the Regent's leg directly, drawing everyone's attention to Gan Qiongying outside the arena.
Zhongli Zhengzhen watched as the Regent staggered a few steps. Just as he was about to turn his head to look, a sudden, sharp pain shot through his waist; he too had been shot by an arrow.
The regent realized that this was no ordinary arrow, but one laced with oil. He immediately tried to pull it out, but the oil had also gotten on him, and the flames quickly spread from his calves to his robes. He hurriedly reached out to pat it off.
Zhongli Zhengzhen clutched his stomach and staggered back several steps. The arrow wound in his body was clearly deeper, and he almost lost his balance. After struggling for a few moments, he finally knelt on the ground.
The kerosene ignited quickly upon contact with the fabric, and the fire spread rapidly due to the night's breeze, as if it would engulf the two of them!
The battle was abruptly interrupted by the two arrows. They immediately threw away their daggers, patted the fire off their bodies, and even began to scoop up dirt from the ground to extinguish the flames.
Soon, guards rushed up with various tools to extinguish the flames on the two men.
The overturned brazier caused the oil to spill over a wider area. Gan Qiongying stood in front of the fire, her body reflected in a leaping flame. Her expression was angry, her knuckles were white, and her eyes seemed to be burning with rage.
Everyone was stunned and looked at Gan Qiongying without daring to speak.
At this moment, even the guards hadn't reacted. It was one thing for the Crown Prince of Jinchuan to be so brazen, but there was actually someone in this world who dared to shoot an arrow at the Regent so openly.
How is this different from "regicide"?
The main reason was that everyone was too shocked to stop Gan Qiongying from shooting arrows into the field.
Gan Qiongying drew her bow again and fired arrow after arrow, each one aimed directly at the two people in the arena.
The two men, who had to fight the fire and dodge the arrows that Gan Qiongying kept shooting at them, ended up running around and crawling all over the place, just like Wen Xueling. In the end, they chose to hide behind the big black bear.
Each arrow fired circled around the two men, trapping them in a ring.
What's amazing is that Gan Qiongying herself had never studied archery, but the original Princess Duanrong was proficient in horseback riding and archery, and could even win in some games that men were good at.
So at this moment, Gan Qiongying's body felt as if it had been taken over and controlled by another person, just like that plate of radish cake that she had never eaten before, but fell in love with the first bite.
Two people in one body, transcending time and space, merged their souls due to anger, and their arrows never missed.
One at a time seemed not enough, so Gan Qiongying grabbed four more, tucked them between her fingers, lit the tips, and this time didn't fire them, but instead drew her bow fully and aimed at the crowd.
The two people in the arena dared not leave the side of the big black bear; their expressions at that moment could only be described as terrified.
The Regent, clutching his wound, glared at Gan Qiongying, while Zhongli Zhengzhen, seriously injured from being shot in the kidney, groaned and clutched his wound.
Everyone in the room stopped and looked at Gan Qiongying. They were no longer insane; they seemed to have all regained their senses.
Because the four burning rockets in Gan Qiongying's hands were no longer aimed at the two people in the arena, but at that group of young masters from aristocratic families.
Gan Qiongying finally spoke.
"Don't stop! Keep hitting!"
"Aren't you supposed to be a great fighter?"
Four rockets, fully drawn and ready to launch, were aimed at the crowd, though it was unclear who they were targeting. Her voice was even louder than the flames emanating from the burning brazier: "And you all, shout! Why aren't you shouting anymore? Get agitated!"
He's fucking bastard.
