The golden eagle swooped down at an extremely fast speed. By the time Lin Yushu saw the situation clearly, she had no time to dodge.

Nan Shuning was very close to her, and without being dazzled by the refracted light, her body reacted immediately. She suddenly lunged to the side and knocked Lin Yushu down.

Almost at the same time, the golden eagle's claws, as sharp as iron hooks, grabbed the two of them fiercely.

Whoosh!Whoosh!

Two sounds of breaking through the air rang out at the same time!

Just as the golden eagle's sharp claws were about to hook Lin Yushu and Nan Shuning's outer robes, two iron arrows instantly pierced the golden eagle.

One arrow pierced one of its wings, and another arrow hit the center of the golden eagle's chest. The sharp arrow head pierced through the top of the golden eagle's head, killing it with one arrow.

Lin Ling subconsciously glanced at Nan Rongjing who shot the arrow at the same time as him. He didn't expect that he was only 10% inferior to him. He could actually kill the lightning-fast golden eagle with one arrow. It seems that Nan Rongjing had let him win in the previous competition.

The thought only lasted a moment, and the next moment, Lin Ling ran towards Lin Yushu in panic.

"Sister, are you hurt?"

"County Lady Shuyi, are you okay?"

Lin Ling was startled to find that Nan Rongjing had also followed him over. Thinking of the soldiers from Prince Jin's Mansion in Lin Yushu's courtyard, he guessed that the two of them were familiar with each other, so he didn't care.

Lin Yushu ignored the two of them, and quickly helped Nan Shuning up, checking her up and down to see if she was injured.

"Don't worry, I'm not hurt."

A gentle and pleasant voice sounded, and Lin Ling looked at the woman who had just rushed to save his sister.

She was different from the bold beauty of the Yanzhou women. Her fair skin was glowing with a light pink, and her cheeks were as white and tender as freshly peeled eggs. Her phoenix eyes were slightly upturned under her willow-leaf eyebrows, and her eyes were moving, gentle and kind like a pool of spring water, touching the heart.

Lin Ling couldn't help but be stunned.

After making sure that Nan Shuning was not injured, Lin Yushu turned around to thank her brother and Nan Rongjing.

Although neither of them was injured, the golden eagle's sharp claws tore through their outer garments and inner garments, leaving a long gash. If they had not dodged in time, and if Lin Ling and Nan Rongjing had not rescued them in time, Lin Yushu would have been torn to pieces.

When Emperor Ming saw that the prey in the enclosure almost hurt someone, he ordered the Imperial Guards to conduct a thorough investigation.

Lin Yushu took her leave from Emperor Ming and took Nan Shuning to the side room beside the paddock to change clothes.

"It was really thrilling today. If you were caught in the slightest, what would you do?"

"Don't worry, it should just be an accident. As long as you are here, I will be fine..."

Lin Yushu was thinking while comforting Nan Shuning.

Although women care about their appearance, their skin is also part of their appearance. If there are obvious scars, it will affect their chances of getting married.

Previously, the Second Lady had designed to make Lin Yushu fall off a cliff on her way back to the capital, in order to leave her with scars so that she could marry the prince as a bride for good luck.

How similar was the incident today to that time, and the light that made it difficult for her to see the situation in front of her and attracted the golden eagle...

This is by no means an accident!

Leng Dai changed her clothes while bowing her head to apologize.

"It was all my fault for not moving the gong in time."

Lin Yushu whispered to comfort her so that Nan Shuning wouldn't hear and wouldn't worry or get scared.

"It's not your fault. Someone wants me to get into trouble. Even if you get there in time, you are doomed to fail to move the gong."

Leng Dai widened her eyes when she heard this. It turned out that this was not a coincidence. Someone wanted to frame the young lady again!

Her young lady has such a miserable life!

Outside the wing, a figure muttered to himself, "They actually tore two people's clothes! Damn it, all the time I spent training the golden eagle to pounce wasted!"

On the other hand, Emperor Ming punished the young eunuch who accidentally put the golden eagle into the Saker Falcon's cage, and the matter was over.

The banquet continued with drums and music.

Lin Ling and Nan Rongjing's excellent shooting skills won widespread admiration, and Emperor Ming gave them generous rewards.

The palace maid brought the fine wine given by Emperor Ming to Lin Ling. Just as Lin Ling was about to take it, he froze in place.

On the tray with fine wine, there was an exquisite sachet that was emitting a sweet aroma. It was inlaid with jade and various gems, and was extremely gorgeous. One could tell at a glance that it was a woman's personal item.

"This is?"

The maid replied respectfully, "This is the Sixth Princess's favorite thing, specially given to Master Lin."

Lin Ling's face darkened and he refused solemnly.

"A gentleman does not take away what others like. I appreciate the Sixth Princess' kindness. Please take back the sachet."

The palace maid seemed to have known that Lin Ling would refuse, and did not force it.

Lin Ling's good mood was ruined by the sachet. The Sixth Princess, Nan Yanran, was the Queen's legitimate daughter, the Crown Prince's younger sister, and a famously unruly princess in the capital.

Lin Ling also learned from Lin Yushu that the Sixth Princess was not only unruly, but also had the same tyrannical and cruel nature as the Crown Prince.

The Sixth Princess considered herself to be the Queen's legitimate daughter and had an extraordinary status. She was always arrogant and looked down upon human life. The number of palace maids and eunuchs who died at her hands was even no less than that of the Crown Prince.

Lin Ling has fought bravely on the battlefield over the years, and what he has seen most is death.

In the conflict between the two countries, those who died were ordinary soldiers defending their country.

The biggest wish of these people is to return home alive and see their loved ones again. Unfortunately, swords are ruthless and life is too fragile in the face of war.

Therefore, in addition to fighting enemies on the battlefield, Lin Ling cherishes every life very much, and what he can't stand most is the powerful and wealthy who don't take human lives seriously.

He didn't expect that the Sixth Princess would fall in love with him, but unfortunately he didn't have any good feelings towards the Sixth Princess at all, and even felt a little disgusted with her!

After a while, the palace maid came over three more times and gave him an exquisite dagger, an imperial sword and... a concubine-colored bellyband!

The moment he saw the bellyband, Lin Ling's handsome face turned red and it seemed that heat was coming out of his head.

He subconsciously looked in the direction of the Sixth Princess, and saw that the Sixth Princess was holding up her not-so-beautiful face, her narrow eyes flashing at him constantly, and a revealing smile blooming at the corners of her mouth.

Lin Ling shuddered instantly and hurriedly lowered his head to drink a cup of sobering soup.

This is a nightmare!

As soon as Lin Yushu returned to the banquet, she saw the interaction between Lin Ling and the Sixth Princess Nan Yanran, and her heart trembled.

In the previous life, Nan Yanran was so arrogant that she would not marry anyone but Lin Ling, and everyone in the city knew about it. After her brother had no choice but to marry her, Nan Yanran slandered her brother for colluding with their father to rebel, and for working together with Nan Huaishuo to kill her father and brother!

In this life, she would never let Nan Yanran marry Lin Ling again!

Just as she was thinking about it, the palace maid who was holding a bowl of hibiscus and lily juice beside her tripped over the leg of a chair and stumbled. Half of the bowl of warm hibiscus and lily juice instantly spilled onto the palace dress that Lin Yushu had just changed into.

The palace maid was so frightened that she was shaking all over, kneeling on the ground and kowtowing repeatedly to apologize.

"This servant deserves death, Princess Shuyi, please spare my life!"

Lin Yushu: ...

Did this palace maid think she was a devil who killed people without blinking an eye?

"Forget it, I'll go change my clothes."

Lin Yushu sighed. Fortunately, she was cautious enough to prepare three sets of replacement palace costumes every time she attended a banquet.

Back in the dressing room again, Leng Dai reached out to unbutton Lin Yushu's collar, but was suddenly grabbed by Lin Yushu.

"Wait, something's wrong!"
