Abandoned by the best children? I just take out the space

"There's no way she could have defeated the princess. She's simply overestimating herself. The princess is truly formidable!"

"The princess is mighty!"

The people around echoed each other, just to please the princess, hoping to be remembered by the princess and gain benefits for themselves.

The crowd was noisy. Nalan Yun looked at Wan Shufang proudly. He thought he would see her in a panic, but he was disappointed.

Even though she had hit the bull's eye, Wan Shufang remained calm. Seeing this, Nalan Yun couldn't help but curse, "Bah, you're really putting on airs."

After she finished speaking, she turned her head away, not wanting to look at Wan Shufang again.

Wan Shufang didn't bother to pay attention to her. She jumped onto the horse with swift movements. Her calm and familiar appearance surprised the Beidi people who were familiar with horsemanship.

Many people looked at each other and started talking.

"This woman doesn't look like someone who doesn't know how to ride and shoot. Could it be that she really has some skills?"

"The movements on the horse were neat, she must have practiced, but no matter what, the princess hit the bull's eye. No matter what she does, she can't win."

"That's right, it's a draw at best. How could she possibly win?"

"Besides, if you offend the princess, you will have to bear the consequences in the future."

The scene was filled with all kinds of voices, but there were still many people questioning and mocking Wan Shufang. Only a few words of praise were drowned out in the crowd and no one cared.

Wan Shufang turned a deaf ear to these rumors. She just picked up the bow and arrow, drew the bow with a steady breath, squinted her eyes and aimed at the center of the target.

Tan Tai He stood in the crowd, watching her movements, and couldn't help but worry for her: "Just do your best. Even if you don't win the game, I will protect you."

As soon as he finished speaking, a "whoosh" sound was heard, and the arrow flew out of the bow and headed straight for the target where Nalan Yun had shot.

The crowd involuntarily quieted down, all staring at the arrow. Even Nalan Yun became a little nervous, his hands involuntarily tightening the reins.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the arrow pierced Nalan Yun's arrow and slammed into the bull's eye, while her arrow was split in two and fell to the ground.

The surroundings were suddenly silent, and you could hear a pin drop. By the time everyone reacted, the whole place was in an uproar.

"She, she actually won."

"This horse archery is so beautiful. It's no exaggeration to say she is a hero among women."

"Many princes wouldn't be able to split the previous arrow."

Nalan Yun's face turned pale, and he became even more angry when he heard these discussions.

At this moment, Wan Shufang put down her bow and arrow, looked at Nalan Yun with an indifferent expression, and said calmly: "My Lady, I am grateful for your kindness. The Northern Di people are martial artists, but they should also know that there are always people better than you."

"To be arrogant and conceited simply because of one's birth is truly unworthy."

Her words were so blunt that Nalan Yun was furious. He gritted his teeth and stared at Wan Shufang hatefully, with murderous intent in his eyes.

Sensing that Nalan Yun was about to get angry, Tan Tai He hurried forward. Seeing Wan Shufang calmly putting away her bow, his eyes showed even more admiration. He took the initiative to help her out: "Nalan Yun, you agreed to the competition yourself."

"Don't break your promises, get angry, or use your power to hurt powerful people just because you lost."

After he finished speaking, he calmly took Wan Shufang's hand and took her away from the stadium.

With Tan Tai He protecting them and in public, even if Nalan Yun wanted to kill Wan Shufang, he could only watch them leave safely.

She stamped her feet angrily, pushed the maid away, turned around and ran away.

Without the excitement to watch, the people gradually dispersed.

On the way back home, Tan Tai He looked at Wan Shufang worriedly several times. After much hesitation, he finally said frankly, "Madam, that Nalan Yun is quite pampered by the king in Beidi. You don't have to bother with her."

"After all, this is Beidi territory. If you confront her head-on, I'm afraid you'll suffer."

Hearing this, Wan Shufang looked up at him, and seeing the worry in his eyes, she suddenly had an idea and said softly, "Really?"

"She is a niece from another family. Even if she is indulged by the king, she doesn't have such great power, unless the Nalan family has other backers."

"Madam, you don't know." Tan Tai He stopped and looked at her solemnly. "The situation within Bei Di is complicated now. The king is old, and Nalan Yun has also relied on his royal status to win over many of his old subordinates."

He paused, and seeing the curiosity in Wan Shufang's eyes, he sighed and continued, "Moreover, she is secretly colluding with the eldest prince, attempting to undermine the king and ascend to the throne."

"You should know that the eldest prince is the legitimate heir to the throne, and with Nalan Yun's help, the day he ascends the throne will be the day they gain power."

After hearing this, Wan Shufang nodded thoughtfully, and she understood. She chuckled and comforted Tan Tai He: "It's okay, don't worry about me. Anyway, I might leave in a few days and won't have to face her head on."

As she spoke, she saw Tan Tai He breathe a sigh of relief and pointed to the gate of the Su Mansion in front of her: "Your Highness, I'm here now. I won't see you off."

"Okay, remember to come find me if you have any problems." Tan Tai He's Adam's apple rolled as he watched Wan Shufang return home. Only after the door closed did he turn around and leave.

Late at night, the gate of the Su Mansion opened again. Wan Shufang, dressed in a palace maid's clothes, sneaked out of the mansion and headed straight for the palace.

When they arrived at the king's bedroom, Wan Shufang told Chen Changli in detail what happened at the competition venue, and then brought up the relationship between Nalan Yun and the eldest prince.

"Changli, according to what Tantai He said, if we want to deal with the eldest prince, I'm afraid we should be more careful about Nalan Yun."

Hearing this, Chen Changli also frowned, his expression serious: "The eldest prince is treacherous and cruel. We must not let him gain power and cause trouble."

"Since the two are on good terms, perhaps we can start with the relationship between them."

As soon as the words fell, Wan Shufang immediately understood and nodded slightly. Since ancient times, there has never been an impenetrable relationship between the monarch and his subjects, let alone the eldest prince and people like Nalan Yun.

As long as we can alienate them, then this matter will be much easier to handle.

After figuring this out, Wan Shufang couldn't help but smile and asked softly, "So what are you going to do?"

Hearing this, Chen Changli leaned over to whisper in her ear. Just as he was about to speak, the voice of the secret guard suddenly came from outside the door: "Master, I have something to report."

"Come in."

He gave an order, and soon a black-clad secret guard came in and saluted the two men respectfully.

"Master, Madam, something happened to the Su family. The fake Su father saw that Caiwei was not dead and sent people to investigate Madam's whereabouts. I'm afraid he has become suspicious of Madam."

Hearing this, Chen Changli's face darkened and he clenched his fists tightly: "He doesn't know whether to live or die. Go and finish him off."

"Yes, master."

The secret guard was about to leave when Wan Shufang stopped him.

"Wait." She stood up and walked around the room. After a long pause, she continued, "There's no rush for this. This imposter isn't clean either. Why don't we take advantage of their trick and let Caiwei pretend to be caught?"
