Fortunately, this place was not far from the camp, so Yiqing decided to send the rabbit back to the tent first.

After temporarily handing the baby over to Yuzhi for feeding, she returned to the forest.

This time she changed direction and saw many traces of prey struggling and fresh blood on the road, as well as some empty arrows.

"Tsk, the competition is quite fierce." Her tone was as indifferent as a spectator. She didn't care that she was lagging behind others and might go home empty-handed in the end.

Suddenly, there was a crackling sound in the grass.

Yiqing looked in the direction of the sound and saw a pheasant flapping its wings and leaping forward.

The panicked look on his face showed that he was obviously being chased by someone.

Su Bai's fingertips had already touched the feather arrows in the bamboo basket. Yiqing changed his previous lazy posture, stood up and drew the bow to gather strength.

"call out--"

A sound broke through the air.

But she hadn't relaxed yet, and the arrow in her hand hadn't been shot yet.

Obviously, the arrow just now was shot by someone else.

[Be careful!] Jiujiu's voice was filled with panic.

Yiqing had actually sensed the approaching danger a long time ago, and with her reaction time she was able to dodge it, but a familiar chuckle sounded behind her, and a handsome but cold face appeared in her mind.

She resisted the urge to dodge and maintained her previous movements, as if she was completely unaware of the approaching danger.

Just as she expected, the arrow just flew past her.

Although the distance was frighteningly close, she was definitely not hurt at all.

"Hey, I haven't touched a bow and arrow for a long time. My hands are numb and I almost hurt someone." The man's voice sounded somewhat helpless. Then he rode his horse to Yiqing and said apologetically, "I'm sorry for scaring the Sixth Princess."

The person in front of him had a gentle appearance and a humble attitude, and looked harmless.

But Yiqing already knew that his heart was cold and his methods were sinister and cruel.

Although the arrow that was just shot did not actually hurt her, at a certain moment she did sense the murderous intent.

Faced with such a person who said one thing and thought another, Yiqing was not at all flustered. She even had the leisure to push a strand of hair behind her ear before she spoke slowly.

"Seventh brother's archery skills are so superb, how can you say he is unfamiliar with it?"

The Seventh Prince suddenly tightened his grip on the reins.

He raised his eyes to look at Yiqing, and his gentle gaze suddenly turned as sharp as a blade.

But Yiqing didn't look at him. Her eyes passed him and fell somewhere behind him.

The Seventh Prince followed her gaze and saw that the arrow he had shot earlier was stuck in the pheasant's wing.

Although the pheasant did not die immediately, it was unable to escape and could only flap its wings in vain, making its last struggle before death.

It is reasonable to praise one's archery skills for being able to hit the prey with one arrow.

Realizing that Yiqing's words just now were not sarcastic or provocative, the cold light in the Seventh Prince's eyes faded, and his face was replaced with a helpless expression in time, "It's a pity that I couldn't kill him with one blow."

Then he asked, "By the way, the Sixth Princess seemed to have raised her bow and arrow just now. It seems that she has also set her sights on this prey?"

"Yes." Yiqing nodded.

The Seventh Prince smiled.

The corners of his lips curved up, but the smile did not reach his eyes. "That's really unfortunate. I was the first one to encounter this prey, and I was the one who drove it all the way here. I am determined to get it."

"But then again, that arrow almost injured my sister. It was my carelessness. But if my sister hadn't coveted something that didn't belong to her, she wouldn't have put herself in danger."

"Royal sister, you are not a child anymore, you should understand - don't touch what doesn't belong to you!"

He seemed to be talking about the pheasant, but also seemed to be talking about something else.

What else?

For example, the throne.
