==Chapter 42 Queen Chu==
Su Ling stretched out her arms to draw the bow, just like Xiao Yu taught her, squinted her eyes and aimed at the handle, and quickly released her thumb. The moment she clicked, the bowstring trembled faintly, her posture was graceful, and her movements were clean and neat. Done in one go.
Just listen to a "pop" sound.
The head is firmly inserted into the red heart.
Although the distance of the first arrow is the shortest and the easiest, and the next nine bulls-eyes will be farther and farther away, the power of a good start is like a reassurance. Only when the mind is stable can it be unstoppable.
Su Ling rode forward, and the first five arrows hit the red heart without any surprise, but starting from the sixth bullseye, it became clear that the sixth, seventh, eighth, and ninth arrows were all false shots. However, the last arrow also hit the red heart. The farthest bullseye... actually hit it directly.
In this way, her score is higher than that of Princess Cheng.
Su Ling knew very well that this arrow was probably a blind cat meeting a dead mouse.
But luck is also part of reality.
So, she accepted the applause of the onlookers very calmly.
After someone finished the competition, Su Ling returned to the viewing platform. At this time, there were more female relatives around the Queen of Chu.
She sat on the left side of Xiao Yu.
The Queen of Chu smiled and said: "Aling, your archery skills have really improved a lot, especially the last arrow, which really impressed me."
Su Ling said: "Queen Mother is too lucky. The last arrow was just luck."
The Empress of Chu tilted her head and said, "A'Kun, haven't you always wanted to learn archery? In my opinion, you might as well learn from your third brother."
Chu Wei showed two dimples, looked at Xiao Yu and said: "Ah Wei is stupid, your highness, will you let me teach you?"
The person speaking is Chu Wei, the niece of Queen Chu, who is already fourteen this year.
"Mother, after a while, the Metropolitan Procuratorate will be busy. I'm afraid my son won't be able to teach the second girl well." Xiao Yu thought for a moment and said: "The second girl wants to learn riding and shooting, and I have a candidate. , has no official position, but his shooting skills are excellent."
The satisfaction on Queen Chu's face lessened a bit, and she still followed him and said, "Oh? I don't know who it is that can be praised by you."
Xiao Yu silently grasped the cold fingertips under the case and said word by word: "The second son of the He family, He Zichen."
As soon as she finished speaking, Su Ling made a gesture of swallowing, and the hair on her temples stood up.
She suddenly remembered that when He Zichen was hunting wolves during the day, he looked back at her.
The other side——
Emperor Jiaxuan just watched it with great pleasure and couldn't help but laugh, and then said: "They all say that the tiger father has no dog daughter. I look at it. Princess Jin now looks a bit like the daughter of a general. The Duke of Zhenguo , do you think so?"
Su Jingbei said: "Your Majesty said this, I am extremely ashamed."
"Why did Lord Zhen Guo say this?" Emperor Jiaxuan said.
Su Jingbei said softly: "It's true that I didn't teach the princess archery a few years ago, but she just refused to learn it. Now that she has married His Highness the Prince of Jin, she has actually improved."
When he heard this, Emperor Jiaxuan couldn't help but hold his hands and laugh, and said loudly: "Go and send the pair of deer skins I brought to King Jin and Princess Jin."
The official said: "I will go now."
After lunch, people began to perform on the stage one after another.
In the evening, Emperor Jiaxuan was thinking about the second half of the hunt, and casually said: "If you have any good ideas, just bring them forward."
Emperor Jiaxuan was not satisfied with what Wen Chen mentioned. He suddenly thought of Jing Changyi, who had many evil ideas, and said, "Does Jing Aiqing have any ideas?"
Jing Changyi stood up and saluted.
"This is an ordinary hunting, but I only hunt bears, leopards, lynxes, elk, wolves, wild boars and other insects. I have heard that there is a tiger den hidden in Lishan Mountain. There is a tiger with a full body, and its bones are boiled into soup. It can prolong your life. If you can win by finding this colorful tiger, it will be very interesting." After saying that, Jing Changyi added: "But this is just a hearsay. It is not known whether there is such a colorful tiger."
"It doesn't matter if you have it or not." Emperor Jiaxuan said: "If not, then just count the numbers to determine victory or defeat as in previous years."
In half an hour, it will be dark. Going hunting at this time is a steep and rugged mountain road. There are no horizontal lanterns and only a few torches for lighting... That is really a good way to enter. Looking for the tiger in the dragon's den.
Emperor Jiaxuan said: "What do you think?"
Cheng Wang said: "My son is willing."
Xiao Yu and King Yan said, "My son and I are also willing."
After hearing this proposal, the emperor's three sons all accepted it calmly. But everyone was thinking, who is this Jing Changyi? After thinking about it, no one had a clue.
The men are secretive, after all, they have their own plans in their hearts,
But the female family members are different.
Su Ling's expression was quite calm. After all, she knew that Xiao Yu's riding and shooting skills were so good not because he had studied hard since he was a child. The stability, accuracy, and ruthlessness that burst out from his hands were probably because of him. Only men who have been on the battlefield can have it.
On the other hand, Princess Cheng and Princess Yan could not sit still.
As the night fell and the wind blew, the first twenty people who came out to hunt, along with a few followers, walked towards the forest one after another.
After they left, the performance of swallowing swords and breathing fire on the stage was no longer interesting...
Due to the danger in the forest, soldiers would send news to the observation deck every half an hour.
The first few times were peaceful. Either King Jin hunted a wild deer, King Yan hunted a wild boar, or Su Huaian hunted a wild wolf...
The soldier who delivered the news was eloquent and told the thrilling stories. Long was so happy that he immediately gave him an official position.
As a result, everyone's hearts gradually calmed down, and they began to talk and talk, and occasionally glanced at each other.
Time flies by, the fourth half-hour has passed, but the soldiers have not arrived yet.
"Go and ask, what's going on?" Emperor Jiaxuan said.
In the blink of an eye, the accompanying imperial doctors were all running south.
This is what happened.
Even if Su Ling believed him, she could not help clenching her fists, her fingertips cold.
In less than half a moment, the soldier who had been glowing just now suddenly knelt down in front of Emperor Jiaxuan and said urgently: "Your Majesty, King Yan is injured."
"The King of Yan is injured?" Emperor Jiaxuan frowned and asked, "Where is the injury?"
The ragged breathing of soldiers filled the entire observation deck.
"Say!"
The soldier said: "King Yan encountered a tiger's den. There were six tigers in it, and one was a female. Those beasts killed the guards and bit King Yan's...leg."
"Bastard!" Emperor Jiaxuan stood up and said, "Where are the people! Where are the people of King Yan!"
When King Yan was carried over, some people couldn't help but hold their mouths. This was not a bite of the leg. This was simply a missing leg. Below the right side of the waist, the flesh and blood were blurred, and nothing was left. .
It was completely empty.
Seeing this scene, Princess Yan leaned back...
Emperor Jiaxuan looked at his dying son, veins popped up in his arms, and turned around and said: "Call King Cheng and King Jin back, now! If you can't find them, send troops to search the mountain!"
Concubine Zhuang, the biological mother of King Yan, knelt on the ground and cried to the emperor: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty wants to make the decision for Erlang! Someone must be deliberately trying to harm Erlang tonight!"
Su Ling looked at Emperor Jiaxuan's back and instantly understood what it means to be ruthless in an emperor. If King Yan is abolished, he will be abolished, but nothing can happen to the other two.
When King Cheng came back, Yisa was soaked with sweat. He knelt on the ground and whispered: "My son is guilty."
Emperor Jiaxuan said coldly: "Where is King Jin!"
The soldier passed the message to Eunuch Yao, who whispered: "Your Majesty... the people in the forest said that they did not see King Jin or Lord Su."
Su Ling's chest trembled.
She muttered silently: It's okay. He and Su Huaian will be fine together.
The emperor sent troops to search the mountain, and Wuyangyang's soldiers ran southward with torches in hand. Before they could separate, they saw Xiao Yu and Su Huaian walking out of the dense forest.
The full moon hangs high and the mountains are filled with mist.
The two people, who were so beautiful in the daytime, walked out covered in blood like messengers.
Xiao Yu held a leg in his hand.
That's King Yan's leg.
The King of Yan's heart is like a mirror. In this battle for the crown prince, there are losers and winners. Before entering Lishan Mountain, the three of them all have murderous intentions. They can win or lose. But he saw Xiao Yu walking up to him with his leg exposed and calling out "Second brother."
Even at this time, they still have their own thoughts.
King Yan’s eyes turned red after all.
The blood of King Yan continued to flow, his breathing gradually weakened, and he said to Xiao Yu: "Third brother..."
Xiao Yu lowered his head.
The pale lips of King Yan were pressed against his ear, and he said in a very low voice: "After all, the surname in this world is Xiao, you...be careful of the Queen of Chu."
In an instant, the mountain wind roared past.
The window of Jingren Palace was blown open by the wind——
