Soon, a palace servant brought a bow and arrow. After Hua Fei and Yuan Yiqing got the bow and arrow, they jumped on their horses with quick and decisive movements.

"Is Concubine Cao not coming?" Yuan Yiqing looked at Cao Qinmo, who smiled and said, "I feel a little unwell today, so I won't go."

"Then Sister Cao, just wait for me to hunt a wild rabbit and bring it to you for nourishment." Yuan Yiqing said with a smile. A trace of embarrassment flashed across Cao Qinmo's face, but she nodded.

"Your Majesty, I also want to go and take a look." Chun'er looked at the emperor and smiled brightly.

"We are not in a hunting ground anyway, and there is no danger. Let's go together..." The emperor spoke, and Shen Meizhuang and Concubine Jing also looked happy.

The group walked into the woods, with An Lingrong riding Feixue behind the emperor.

The forest here is not small, but as the emperor said, there are no large prey. There are only some small animals such as rabbits and pheasants along the way.

The emperor agreed, and this move should be because he didn't want everyone to have any regrets...

“Swoosh…” Two arrows flew by, and then Yuan Yiqing said, “I hit it! I hit it! Your Majesty, I hit it?”

Yuan Yiqing got off the horse and ran towards the prey, but Concubine Hua was a little annoyed.

There was nothing else to it. There were two arrow sounds just now, and one was shot by her, but she didn't hit the target and take the first place...

"Swoosh..." Another sound of an arrow flew by. It was Concubine Hua who drew her bow and shot an arrow again, and this time she hit a pheasant.

"Good archery skills!" The emperor praised. After hearing this, Concubine Hua looked at Yuan Yiqing with a smug smile on her face, and then a palace maid went over to pick up the prey.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the praise." Concubine Hua turned around and smiled at the emperor, and the emperor also nodded at her.

Although Chun Er was sitting in the carriage, she could see their hunting clearly and clapped her hands happily...

Yuan Yiqing handed the prey to the palace attendant who followed him, and then continued to ride his horse inside...

In fact, it was fine at the beginning, but the further in she went, the more An Lingrong felt that it was eerily quiet here.

She had never been to this kind of forest since she was a child. Looking around, the trees here looked almost the same. When she looked up, she could only see yellow all around. She could not see the sun and could not tell the direction. It really made her feel insecure.

"Your Majesty, I'm a little scared. Why don't we go back?" An Lingrong drove the Feixue side by side with the emperor and whispered to him.

"This is a pasture and there are no ferocious beasts. What is Concubine Yi afraid of?" Yuan Yiqing came up on horseback and said with a smile.

"Rong'er is different from you. She has lived in the boudoir since she was a child and rarely comes to this kind of forest. It is normal for her to be a little afraid."

The emperor glanced at Yuan Yiqing and felt that she was talking too much. Seeing that the emperor looked unhappy, Yuan Yiqing quickly changed her tone and said:

"Empress Yi, I've spoken out of turn, please forgive me..." Yuan Yiqing bowed to An Lingrong, who waved her hand and said, "It's alright."

"If you are afraid, stay with me." The emperor said as he extended his hand to An Lingrong. An Lingrong handed her hand over, and the two horses came closer...

Yuan Yiqing and Concubine Hua continued to chase their prey. Every time Yuan Yiqing hunted prey, she would turn around and report to the emperor. The emperor would wave his hand every time, but she would still come back every time...

An Lingrong could feel that rather than showing off her prey, she seemed to be watching her and the emperor getting along...

“Swish, swish, swish, swish…” As soon as the group reached a wider place, several arrows shot towards them, followed by the secret guards shouting, “Help! There’s an assassin!”

"Ahhhh..." As the command was shouted, the concubines' screams were heard.

"Your Majesty!" An Lingrong called out to the Emperor. The Emperor came back to his senses, quickly picked up the bow from the side of the horse with one hand, picked up the arrow with the other hand, pulled the bow to its full length and shot it out in an instant, killing a black-clad assassin.

"Rong'er! Go!" The emperor turned around and shouted. Feixue was frightened and tried to run, but An Lingrong held the reins.

"Your Majesty, be careful!" An Lingrong shouted. The emperor felt the sound of an arrow coming from the left. He dodged, bent down, drew his bow and shot, killing another man in black.

"Ah! Help!" a voice came. An Lingrong looked and saw a black-clad assassin holding a long knife, slashing towards Yuan Yiqing.

"Don't come over here! I'm the emperor's concubine!" Yuan Yiqing shouted as he rode his horse towards the carriage...

An Lingrong saw an assassin attacking the emperor from the corner of her eye and hurried back to remind the emperor.

"Swoosh!" Just at this moment, an arrow from the carriage hit Yuan Yiqing's horse. The horse instantly went crazy and threw Yuan Yiqing down.

"Ah!..." Yuan Yiqing screamed and fell to the ground. The assassin with a long knife was about to reach him.

Yuan Yiqing quickly stood up, ran a few steps, and jumped onto the carriage. Chun'er and Shen Meizhuang in the carriage were even more panicked.

The black-clad assassin continued to run towards the carriage and raised his hand to chop down. He was about to chop Yuan Yiqing, but at this critical moment, Yuan Yiqing actually grabbed Chun'er beside him and blocked the assassin!

"Swoosh!" Another arrow sounded, and an arrow hit the black-clad assassin. Shen Meizhuang wanted to pull Chun'er, but Yuan Yiqing had extraordinary arm strength, and he threw Chun'er over with one force. The moment Chun'er fell, he was pierced by the assassin's long sword.

“Chun’er!” Shen Meizhuang shouted loudly. An Lingrong turned around and saw Chun’er lying in a pool of blood…

"The assassin has already been shot by an arrow! Why did you throw Chun'er out?!" Shen Meizhuang questioned Yuan Yiqing angrily, but Yuan Yiqing said to Shen Meizhuang: "Shut up! If you say another word, I will throw you out too!"

"Shut up!" The emperor turned around and glared at Yuan Yiqing, then continued to draw his bow and shoot, killing another man in black.

It seems that these assassins are endless and appear in endlessly. An Lingrong is now a weakling who is powerless. Apart from following the emperor, she has no other choice.

The secret guards quickly surrounded everyone, and everyone finally got a chance to catch their breath.

"Your Majesty, how are you?" An Lingrong asked. The emperor shook his head and said, "I'm fine, Rong'er, don't be afraid..."

"Your Majesty, I am afraid..." Hua Fei also spoke at this moment. The emperor gave her a comforting look and said, "It's okay, don't be afraid."

Concubine Hua nodded and placed the arrow in her hand on the bow again.

"Kill!" With a shout, the assassin rushed over again...

"Protect the emperor and leave!" The leading secret guard also shouted, and then several secret guards began to lead the emperor and others to retreat.

The assassins gathered more and more, and it was becoming difficult to leave.

The emperor had run out of arrows in his quiver, so he drew out his sword and chopped down every assassin who came over...
