Cang Minglang and Shen Luoxi talked for a long time. If the eunuch hadn't come to find him, Cang Minglang and Shen Luoxi could have continued talking.
Shen Luoxi watched him go away, and when he turned to look at Ning Yanran, who rarely interrupted, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes.
"My sister doesn't look good, but her throat feels uncomfortable?" She said calmly: "While I'm with you, why don't you let me treat my sister?"
Ning Yanran came back to her senses immediately and waved her hand quickly, "I won't bother sister anymore..."
If Shen Luoxi gave her another medicine, it might not be as simple as being mute for a few days.
Shen Luoxi didn't take it seriously and just looked at her a few more times before looking away.
Soon, everyone went to choose their horses.
Shen Luoxi looked at a few horses and found that both hers and Xiao Yueze's horses were not in good condition. They looked sick.
She looked at the other people's horses, and then looked at the eunuch holding the horses, "Are these the only horses?"
"There are still a few horses in the stable, but they are all old horses. Although they can be ridden, they will probably get tired after walking two steps." The eunuch said.
Shen Luoxi said without thinking, "Take me to see it."
Even riding an old horse is much better than riding a sick horse. After all, when a horse is sick, anything can happen.
The eunuch immediately led her to the stables, where several old horses were grazing slowly, without even raising their eyes when they saw people coming.
"If the princess can take a fancy to them, it will be a blessing for them." The eunuch said: "These horses are old, and they will be sent to the army to be killed and eaten in two days. It can also be regarded as improving the food for the army officers. .”
Shen Luoxi lowered his eyes when he heard this, "I want these horses. They will die anyway. They can be used as medicinal materials for me."
The eunuch looked confused: "Although these horses are old, they are still horses with blood, and they are slaves..."
Before he finished speaking, a heavy bag of silver was placed in his hand.
"Is it enough?"
The eunuch smiled happily while holding the money bag, which was a bit clenched in his hand. He nodded repeatedly and said, "That's enough. These horses belong to you, Princess Xuan! You can ride any one you want!"
"The rest will be sent to the palace for you shortly!"
Shen Luoxi nodded and picked the two horses that were in the best condition for Xiao Yueze to hold.
Xiao Yueze waited for Shen Luoxi to discuss with the eunuch before leading his horse and leaving with her.
"Princess, do you want to report this matter to the Emperor?"
"Today is the autumn hunt, and it's not just the prince who is surrounding the emperor?" Shen Luoxi said calmly: "Even if I tell the emperor, such a trivial matter will not be taken to heart."
"Only when something happens can you attract others' attention."
She raised her hand and touched the horse beside her, her mouth slightly raised.
Even if it is an old horse, it may not be worse than a young horse. If you want to trick her, she will definitely pay back a hundred times!
Shen Luoxi led the horse back and saw a group of people surrounding the emperor from a distance.
The emperor is always in the palace approving memorials. It is rare for him to relax like this, and the smile on his face is much brighter than before.
"Whoever can come out on top today will be rewarded heavily by me!"
Everyone echoed in unison, shouting long live the emperor, and then all mounted their horses, waiting for the emperor to issue the order, and a group of people rushed out together.
Among them, Cang Yunxuan was the fastest, followed by Cang Minglang, and the other princes followed closely behind. Only King Lian was slow and had no interest in the lead.
He saw Shen Luoxi and Xiao Yueze leaving in the other direction, and pulled the reins before arriving in front of Shen Luoxi.
"This horse of yours... looks like it's going to die. You can't even run on such a horse. You might be shot as prey!"
King Lian smiled and mocked, but Shen Luoxi just looked at him quietly, making him feel uncomfortable.
"Why are you looking at me like this! Isn't what I said wrong?"
Shen Luoxi smiled and said, "His Royal Highness King Lian is right. If I were riding His Highness's horse, I would not have to worry about such a thing. However, my horse was once the Emperor's favorite horse. How could it be any worse?" ?”
King Lian snorted coldly, "You are so clever! My horse is not something that a lowly person like you can ride!"
"But I would like to remind you that my third brother and my father said that you are good at riding and shooting. If you can't even hunt a rabbit, you will not be able to reap the benefits! I am just waiting to see your joke!"
After that, he rode away.
Xiao Yueze watched his back disappear, and then whispered in Shen Luoxi's ear: "It sounds like he is deliberately irritating the princess."
Shen Luoxi smiled and said nothing. Isn't this the purpose of King Lian?
Make her anxious and scared, thus falling into his trap, so as to take the opportunity to get rid of her.
There were no waves on the surface of the Shenluo River, signaling Xiao Yueze to go to a place with fewer people.
The guards following them watched Shen Luoxi go further and further away. There was not even a ghost figure, let alone prey.
He hesitated to speak. After being scratched by a branch again, he couldn't help but said: "Princess, it doesn't look like there is prey. Why don't we go somewhere else?"
Shen Luoxi said calmly: "No need, just go here."
"But we walked for a long time, and we didn't even see a rabbit..." The guard couldn't help but muttered in a low voice: "Hunting is not a cure, so what's the point of walking like this!"
Hearing this, Xiao Yueze looked at the guard coldly, "It's not your turn to tell the princess what to do. If you are dissatisfied, you can leave. I can better protect the princess by myself."
The guard frowned, and then looked at Shen Luoxi's expression. Seeing that she acquiesced to Xiao Yueze's words, he said, "Since the princess thinks I am in the way and talking too much, I will leave."
"If the emperor asks, the princess can tell me something wrong."
As soon as he finished speaking, he couldn't wait to leave.
Shen Luoxi didn't even look out of the corner of his eye and said coldly, "What I want to hunt is not a small hunt like a rabbit."
"Birds of prey hide in deep forests and lurk in darkness. If you take aim, they will be killed with one blow."
Her words had a profound meaning. If the guard was still there, he would definitely find Shen Luoxi confused, but Xiao Yueze understood what she meant.
Xiao Yueze paid attention to his surroundings and put his hand on the sword at his waist, ready to draw it out at any time.
The two continued to walk deeper, and then they heard the low roar of raptors.
Shen Luoxi raised his eyebrows, "It seems we found what we were looking for."
Xiao Yueze tensed up and followed her closely, and then a bright yellow figure appeared in front of them.
A tiger half as tall as a man was taking a nap, and the horse felt the tiger's breath and became anxious.
Tiger heard the noise, opened his eyes suddenly, and roared at Shen Luoxi and Xiao Yueze.
Shen Luoxi's eyes flashed, he took out his bow and arrow and put a layer of potion on the arrowhead.
She fully drew her bow and arrows, aimed at the tiger's brow, and released her hand.
The arrow shot out and headed straight towards the tiger, but a figure suddenly appeared behind the tiger.
"careful!"
