The Evil Emperor's Favorite: The Sickly and Poisonous Concubine Goes Crazy

next day

Because the Zhou Emperor ordered that future competitions would only be in horseback archery, they had to adjust their plans and split into groups to hunt separately.

The Prince of Chen arranged the groups on his own initiative.

Su Jingning and Su Luoshu were assigned to a group with Wang An and three other young masters from aristocratic families.

Although Su Jingchen and his companions were unwilling to have their two sisters separated, they could not say anything as the groups were made by Prince Shi Chen.

I just told the two sisters to just walk around the periphery and not go too deep.

The two sisters were not the competitive type, so they spent almost the entire day sweeping the outskirts of Huoshan, and they caught all the small animals nearby, such as hares and pheasants.

"Second sister! Look!" Su Luoshu suddenly lowered her voice and said to Su Jingning, her eyes fixed on the fox that appeared not far away. The fox was snow-white all over and extremely beautiful, like an elf that had accidentally entered human territory. It was much more beautiful than the gray mouse fox she had seen two days ago!

Su Jingning was also attracted by the fox. He looked at Su Luoshu and immediately walked towards the fox tiptoe, trying to catch it.

"Miss Su Er! There's nothing here. Let's go over there and take a look." Wang An's rough voice sounded at an inopportune time. The snow-white fox was startled and ran into the woods, disappearing without a trace.

"Oh! It ran away. Second sister, I will chase it. I must catch it today." Su Luoshu glared at Wang An angrily, with a look of unwillingness on her face. She jumped on the horse and rushed out.

"Hey! Shu'er, wait for me!" Su Jingning frowned. Why is this child so anxious?

"Young Master Wang, you go first, I'll come find you later!" Su Jingning also got on the horse and said to Wang An.

After saying that, he turned around and followed Su Luoshu's direction and disappeared into the woods.

Su Luoshu had an impetuous temper, and so did she when she was riding a horse. She disappeared in an instant. Huoshan has been used as a royal hunting ground for many years, and ordinary people are not allowed to hunt there, so there are many ferocious beasts. Su Jingning was worried that Su Luoshu would run into a ferocious beast if she wandered in, so he followed the horse hoof prints to find her.

Before I knew it, I had entered the dense forest, but I still hadn't seen Su Luoshu.

"Miss Su Er! So you are here! I saw Miss Su Si enter the Qingshui Stream! There were dozens of gray wolves there. I wanted to call her, but she was too fast and I couldn't stop her. I also injured my foot, so I wanted to find someone to save her first, but I didn't meet anyone along the way. Come with me to save her!" A young man with ordinary looks saw Su Jingning and ran towards her, sweating profusely. He said to Su Jingning anxiously.

Su Jingning's heart tightened when she heard this, and she looked at the young man seriously. She remembered him, he was in the same group with Mu Xi yesterday.

"Sir, please look carefully. She is really my sister!"

"It's absolutely true, Miss Su Si is wearing a green headband! I recognize her, I wouldn't be wrong! Miss Su Er, come with me quickly!" The young man looked anxious and nervous, not paying any attention to the bleeding wound on his foot.

Su Jingning frowned, her heart suddenly hanging in the air. It was really Shu'er. She looked at the anxious young man and said, "Thank you for telling me. I will go to Qingshuijian first. Please help me find my eldest brother and tell them about this."

"Okay, then you should be careful!" The young man nodded in agreement.

Su Jingning's face was tense and he looked nervous. He rushed towards Qingshuijian, fearing that if he was a step slower, Su Luoshu would be in danger.

Qingshuijian is deep in Huoshan Mountain. The forest is so dense and tall that the sunlight cannot penetrate the forest. Therefore, the whole forest is dark, damp and cold, and terrifyingly quiet. There is only the rustling of leaves in the wind, and there is no sound or trace of any fighting. Su Jingning breathed a sigh of relief. Shu'er should not have encountered a wolf pack. She got off the horse and looked around. Suddenly, she saw a green ribbon hooked on a branch not far away.

Su Jingning's face turned cold, and he walked quickly to the tree and untied the green ribbon. It was Shu'er's ribbon! The ribbon was a little damaged, with a trace of blood on the corner. Su Jingning was puzzled. There was no sign of fighting, so how could the ribbon appear here? Shu'er was injured!

"Suluoshu——"

"Shu'er, are you there?" Su Jingning anxiously called Su Luoshu's name as he walked, hoping to get a response.

If she looked back, she would see a dark shadow flashing past behind her.

"Awoo--" A creepy wolf howl suddenly came from the gloomy and cold forest.

Su Jingning paused, the wolves had discovered her! She slowly took out three arrows from behind her, put them on the bow, and looked around vigilantly with a cold look in her eyes.

The crisp sound of dead branches and leaves being stepped on could be heard in the woods, and creaking sounds came from all directions.

Su Jing looked at the wolves that appeared around her, surrounding her from all sides, staring at her with a fierce look in their eyes, with a faint green light. They did not make any moves, but just stood there, baring their sharp teeth and making low growls to threaten Su Jingning.

She looked at the dark grey male wolf in the distance, which was twice the size of the surrounding grey wolves. It should be the leader of this pack of wolves. Su Jingning saw the tentativeness and vigilance in the wolf's eyes. Wolves are intelligent animals. They will first understand their opponents before attacking them to ensure that their prey will not escape.

The wolf pack was obviously attracted by her. She didn't see any other gray wolves along the way. Now she knew why Shu'er's hairband was hanging there when there were no signs of fighting. Someone deliberately wanted to lead her into the wolf pack and kill her in Qingshuijian.

When she heard that Shu'er was in trouble, she lost her original calm, so she didn't notice such a big loophole.

However, a mere group of gray wolves would not kill Su Jingning!

Su Jingning slowly pulled the bow to its full length and shot at the wolf pack. Three arrows were fired at once, and the arrows flew through the air, followed by the sound of gray wolves whimpering and falling to the ground. The three gray wolves around the wolf king were shot and fell to the ground.

"Awoo--" The wolves were enraged by her and rushed towards her without caring about their lives.
