Admittedly, her silence dissatisfied the man, and he pinched her chin with a little more force.
It hurts a little.
Xie Shu still had a low eyebrow, not even a sound of pain.
Chu Tongchang snorted in confusion, "You're admitting it if you don't say anything? Are you going to step on Suisui's reputation just to be in the limelight?"
Xie Shu only felt helpless and clenched her fingers, "Your Majesty knows very well that this slave has no one to rely on today. I just cut off my tail to survive, not to show off."
The next second, his body staggered.
Chu Tongshang pushed her away, his dark eyes filled with evil spirit, "I am not interested in your affairs, and I don't know your affairs either."
As soon as she said this, Xie Shu pursed her lips and stopped talking.
She was a little tired.
She was really tired. Why were those people talking about Gu Suisui? What did this have to do with her?
Just because she tried the medicine for Chu Tongshang, and now someone else talks about it, does it also affect Gu Suisui's poor self-confidence?
But there is no need to say a word in defense.
Those who are favored are always confident.
In the silence, a bottle of medicine was thrown in front of Xie Shu.
Her pupils moved slightly.
The man had already left with his hands behind his back, "This is burn ointment. Don't forget the thousand-year-old ginseng."
When the voice came, Xie Shu lowered her head and stared at the medicine bottle on the ground without emotion.
After a while, she squatted down stiffly, picked it up and opened it.
This is a bottle of ointment.
Chu Tongshang slapped her and gave her a candy.
"Slave... I will definitely win." She responded in a low voice, regardless of whether he could hear her as he was already far away.
According to the relationship between King Jing and the Gu family, any kind of luck is just in name.
If the Gu family asked for it, King Jing would not fail to sell the favor.
It's just that these powerful people deliberately used it to tease people.
It seems that the four major aristocratic families of the Northern Han Dynasty have been suffering from illness for a long time and should have been eliminated long ago.
The Gu family was the most flamboyant and almost monopolized all the civil servants. Most of the civil servants in the court were from the Gu family.
As for the generals, Pei Clan was a surrender of the Northern Han Dynasty. After Emperor Yuan overthrew the Northern Han Dynasty, he established the new Zhou Dynasty.
It has been weakening the power of the Pei family. The Chu Palace is the mainstay, and the Xie family is the upstart.
This Xie family is just a flash in the pan.
But now, Xie Shu no longer cares about the direction of the court.
…
The hunt held by King Jing will begin with an archery competition. Whoever wins the first prize will not only get a thousand-year ginseng, but will also be recommended by King Jing to the military camp.
Now, King Jing's hand has been stretched too long.
It is not enough for the civil servants to control the court, and they have already tried to get involved in the military camp.
Everyone was excited when they heard King Jing announcing the news.
The Gu family is the most popular family nowadays. With King Jing's recommendation, they have already won a gold medal!
Yes.
Under the heavy reward, there were more brave men, and many common people from poor families also came.
Xie Shu appeared as a woman among them, which attracted the ridicule of men.
"I said Xie Shu, can you please stop joining in the fun? With your small body, can you draw the bow?"
"What? Do you also want to compete with us for the opportunity to go to the military camp?"
"I have never heard that women can join the army. You are still better at chasing men."
They laughed mercilessly around Xie Shu.
What's more, he even touched Xie Shu.
"Why is the King of Chu so incompetent? Look at you, even though you look a little uglier, you are still a woman after all. How can I let you compete?"
"It's better to follow him than to follow me. Although I am a bastard, I don't have to..."
Xie Shu lowered her eyes and sat cross-legged on the ground. She used her sleeves to wipe the sharp arrows bit by bit.
Several dandies surrounded her, but Xie Shu didn't panic.
"You also know that you are a bastard who cannot stand on the stage? How can you compare it with the King of Chu who became famous in one battle?" Xie Shu's eyes seemed to be frozen.
Her eyes were actually colder and sharper than the arrow in her hand.
She recognized this man, he was a concubine in the Chen clan.
She didn't even remember what it was called, scum, so why should she remember it?
I only remember that the reason for the enmity was because he tortured a brothel girl to death and stabbed her eyes blindly because he was a member of the Chen clan.
The aristocratic family covers the sky with one hand, and even Emperor Yuan dare not touch it easily, not to mention the life of a brothel girl is as cheap as grass.
Even though Xie Shu wanted to avenge her, how could Xie Qingyang allow her to offend a wealthy family? Although the Xie family is a new rich, after all, it is just a nouveau riche with no foundation.
Xie Shu felt cold. She was now the most humble slave, so... she couldn't even control her life or death.
Chen Chu was stunned when he heard this and glared angrily: "What did you say?!"
"You said I can't stand on the stage? Do you know who my father is?"
Xie Shu curled her lips and sneered, slowly put the arrow on the bow and charged up her arm.
There was a sharp coldness in her eyes, "Is it possible that Mr. Chen is still a three-year-old child who needs to drink milk?"
"Bitch, today I -" Chen Chu became even more irritable, with ferocious and vicious eyes flashing.
Xie Shu's bow and arrow were aimed at him.
She stared straight ahead: "Master Chen, do you want to try my archery skills? Can I blind one of your eyes?!"
Xie Shu looked indifferent, as if she was joking.
But the momentum is overwhelming.
Chen Chu continued to walk over without fear of death, with a furious look on his face.
One step, two steps.
Getting closer.
"Bang!"
A red figure floated in front of his eyes like a cloud, and Chen Chu's body was kicked away. He fell far away and fell in the snow.
When Xie Shu saw him, she let go of her bow and arrow.
Chen Chu screamed in pain.
"You dare to touch my Shu Shu? Do you think I, Nangong Yin, am dead? If you dare to touch Shu Shu again, I don't care if your surname is Chen or Gu, I will chop you up!"
Nangong Yin's face is as charming as a peach blossom, and she is dressed in bright red, which is a stunning color in the ice and snow.
He slowly walked up to Chen Chu and stepped on Chen Chu's chest.
Hardly.
He stepped on Chen Chu hard to the ground.
"Ugh—" Chen Chu turned pale and spat out a mouthful of blood.
The people around him were afraid to express their anger and looked at the murderous eighth prince in disbelief.
Don't you say it's trash? Even Xie Shu refused to marry, why did she look more cruel than King Jing?
The competition ground was originally noisy, but when Nangong Yin arrived, his domineering kick immediately shook the place.
The onlookers didn't dare to lend a helping hand, for fear that Nangong Yinfa would go crazy and settle the score with him.
After all, they all laughed at Xie Shu just now.
Chen Chu dared not speak out in anger, and the atmosphere was stagnant.
"Royal brother, why are you so angry right now? Who provoked you? Since you are here to praise me as your brother, if anyone provokes you, just drag him out and punish him."
King Jing led a large group of people to arrive belatedly and broke the silence in time.
