"Hasn't your Majesty heard about it? He used to just watch from the sidelines, but it is said that this year he is breaking his usual habit and is going to hunt in person!"

"It's a pity that we can't go to the scene. I've never seen the emperor's hunting style!"

The more heated the conversation became, the more doubts Shen Bingning felt.

If my memory serves me correctly, Xiao Yi is not good at hunting. Why did he change his mind today and decide to go into battle himself?

Could it be because of those casual hints in the carriage?

no, I can not!

How could he be so kind?

"I really wonder who will be so lucky as to get the prey hunted by the emperor."

Xu Qingyou raised his head, his eyes full of provocation.

She seemed calm, but Li Ruofu next to her changed her face and quickly came out to smooth things over: "Sister Xu, you are just joking. Your Majesty's prey is naturally given to the Empress!"

However, in Xu Qingyou's view, Shen Bingning had long been neglected in the deep palace. She was even more proud and raised her voice: "That's not necessarily true. The emperor is so brave, how could his heart only have room for one person?"

Seeing that the other party said such arrogant words after admonishment, Li Ruofu was so scared that she didn't dare to pester any more, so she hid aside.

Her eyes occasionally swept to the expressionless Shen Bingning.

Just as she was confused, a little sneer suddenly appeared on Shen Bingning's beautiful face, and she laughed softly: "Puff! Haha!"

This smile made Xu Qingyou's face change slightly, and she asked with a little dissatisfaction: "Madam, what are you laughing at?"

Shen Bingning wiped away the tears from her eyes caused by laughter and replied casually: "I just remembered some interesting things."

She remembered the scene of teaching Xiao Yi to shoot archery back then. Although Xiao Yi was smart, his ability to do things was far inferior. After learning for more than half a month, the bird did not shoot one, and finally destroyed several windows.

With just him, he still wants to hunt?

I'm afraid Xu Qingyou's fantasy will be shattered.

Thinking of this, Shen Bingning's heart moved.

Is this a good opportunity to improve your image?

Xu Qingyou didn't understand what she meant. Seeing her bright smile, she thought she was laughing at her own arrogance. Her face darkened and her words were filled with hatred: "My queen, a hundred flowers blooming is beauty. Even a single peony, no matter how gorgeous it is, will eventually wither. Don't you agree?"

Shen Bingning shrugged, thinking that this woman was really superficial, but considering that she was a lady from a wealthy family with a strong background, and that she had nothing but the title of queen, it would be inappropriate to confront her head-on, so she simply agreed with her words: "Miss Xu is right, as for flowers, the more they are, the more brilliant they are."

Seeing that even the Queen showed weakness to him, Xu Qingyou became even more arrogant and more convinced that Shen Bingning had fallen out of favor.

"Girls, enjoy yourselves. I suddenly remembered that I have some trivial matters to attend to in the palace, so I will take my leave now."

Shen Bingning stayed for a long time without waiting for everyone to respond. After saying that, she gently lifted her skirt and left in a hurry. Even the seeds that she often accompanied her around could not be able to keep up with her.

"Master, where are you going?"

The system asked doubtfully.

"This is not obvious. Take this opportunity to earn some goodwill value!"

Shen Bingning murmured silently in her heart, and her pace was accelerating.

"But you are going to the men's hunting grounds. What are you going there for?"

The system's confusion has clearly escalated.

"Think about it, Xiao Yi is not good at hunting. If he returns empty-handed, wouldn't he be laughed at? I'll help him catch prey and make him proud, so his favorability will naturally go up."

"But... aren't you going to play the role of a pure little white rabbit?"

"..."

This time it was Shen Bingning's turn to be speechless.

After a moment of silence, Shen Bingning slowly said:

"I think the pure little white rabbit trick is not very useful to Xiao Yi, so he doesn't use this set. So I changed my plan. Now it's time for the 'wild overlord flower' to move!"

"……sharp."

It is not difficult to get into the hunting ground, but this outfit is too inconvenient.

Shen Bingning simply found a guard.

After using both soft and hard tactics, he changed into the guard's uniform. After changing, he chose the opportunity when no one was paying attention, picked up his bow, mounted his horse, and headed straight into the depths of the jungle.

The moment he rode on the horse, the old horse skills returned like a spring, as if his physical instinct was free to control it, and soon he saw the riding team of the nobles in front of him.

One has to admit that Xiao Yi stands out in the crowd. He seems to be born with an imperial aura and his own radiance.

Another horn sounded, the crowd scattered, and the hunting began.

Shen Bingning hid behind a tree and did not rush to act. She waited until the crowd had almost dispersed before she gently pulled the reins and quietly followed Xiao Yi, keeping a distance that was not easily noticed.

He had originally planned to wait until he was farther away before saying hello, but unexpectedly, Xiao Yi's Uyama horse was suddenly frightened, and it neighed and ran forward wildly!

What's happening here?

Shen Bingning's heart tightened, and a sense of ominousness arose. She didn't care about anything else and pulled the reins and accelerated to chase.

Xiao Yi's figure gradually drifted away, Shen Bingning's face was solemn. His horse could not compare to his Wuya Divine Horse. If he continued to do this, he would be left behind.

There was a hint of worry in his eyes.

If Xiao Yi found out that he was being followed and deliberately got rid of it, the man's back was panicked, not as if he was intentional, but more like he was out of control.

If this continues, something unexpected may happen.

Now that things have come to this, there is no time to think about much else.

"I'm sorry!"

Shen Bingning gritted her teeth, pulled out the hairpin between her hair, and pierced her horse's buttocks with cruelty!

The mount let out a mournful cry and galloped forward even harder.

Shen Bingning gripped the reins tightly, watching the distance gradually shorten. The two horses were running side by side, and Xiao Yi's pale face came into view.

"Xiao Yi!"

She called out loudly, and the other party finally noticed her arrival in a trance, slowly lifting up heavy eyes, showing a deep and silent look like a dry well.

"Shen Bingning...why are you here?"

His words were as light as falling feathers, mixed with indescribable tiredness and pain, and gently fell into her ears with the wind.

"Hold the horse!"

Shen Bingning reminded him anxiously, but Xiao Yi just held the reins weakly. Even though he made a gesture to stop the horse, the horse still showed no intention of slowing down.

Seeing that his body was shaking and he was about to fall off the horse, Shen Bingning hardened her heart, moved her mount closer, suddenly reached out and grabbed his reins, used the force to jump, and landed steadily on the back of the black horse!

Seeing her series of bold actions, a slight mistake would be the consequences of being crushed to pieces. Xiao Yi's face turned pale. He grabbed her arm tightly and roared: "Do you want to die?"

"You are more important than my life!"

Shen Bingning blurted out, then pulled the reins violently, thinking about letting the horse stop, without paying attention to the subtle changes in the man behind him.

With her perseverance, the horse finally slowed down and stopped.

She then breathed a sigh of relief. When she relaxed her fingers, she felt her palms sticky. When she spread them open, she found that it had been cut and blood oozed out!
