Transmigrated into a vicious female supporting role, reborn as a hostage to the paranoid male protag

Today is a beautiful day. A gentle breeze blows, and the winter sky is clear. The sky is as blue as a mirror, and the battlefield is peaceful and tranquil.

The carriage hurried on, and the two finally arrived at the training ground ahead of time.

Not long after Su Yingxue and Chu Xingchen arrived at the archery range, Mr. Liu also arrived.

"Your Highness, how's your archery practice been these days? Pull it here and see." Mr. Liu was wearing armor but no helmet. He had a long sword on his waist and spoke in a rough and careless manner, quite like a military general.

"Yes, sir." Upon hearing this, Su Yingxue ordered Qiu Shuang to take the palace, then stood still, took a deep breath, and stretched the bowstring of the bow in her hand with all her strength, just like she had trained at night these past few days.

Su Yingxue's body was in poor condition. She had been pampered for years, making her too delicate and frail. Her arms weren't strong enough. How could someone who loved whipping people with a red whip have such weak hands?

But in the past two months, Su Yingxue had been doing the modern physical training routine every night before bed. Every day before bed, she would run 200 laps around the hall, plus 100 push-ups and jumping jacks.

She even asked Chunhua to make a skipping rope for her and she skipped five hundred times every day.

Despite the tossing and turning before bed, Su Yingxue's maids looked at her as if she were an alien. However, hard work pays off, and with her own hard work and training, the quality of her body has improved a lot.

Although it is not as good as my modern body, it is not as delicate and weak as before. I am much healthier and my arm strength has increased a lot.

Su Yingxue's bowing skills were much better this time. She could draw the longbow steadily, though she couldn't hold it for long enough. Mr. Liu was quite satisfied, however, because she had made progress; at least she could draw the bow.

It's much better than the first month when I couldn't even draw the bow. This kid is teachable. Mr. Liu smiled with satisfaction, "Just practice more, and it will be better as time goes by."

"Thank you for your guidance, sir." Su Yingxue smiled and bowed to the sir. Remembering that she had not yet told Mr. Liu that Chu Xingchen would also be studying together, she hurriedly explained with a smile, "Sir, this is Brother Chu."

Su Yingxue pulled Chu Xingchen's sleeve, who was standing behind her, and pulled him forward two steps. She smiled and introduced him to Mr. Liu, "Brother Chu has never learned archery, but he looks intelligent and has a strong physique. He must be a talent for martial arts. It's a pity that he missed the opportunity to learn martial arts in recent years. I hope you will have pity on Brother Chu and teach him more."

Mr. Liu has been an external official for a long time, but he is still a member of the palace. That doesn't mean he's unaware of the recent rumors in the palace.

It is said that not long ago, the eldest princess accidentally fell into the lake and was rescued by the prince of Chu, a hostage of the Great Qi State. The eldest princess changed her original attitude towards him and even showed great concern for the current prince of Chu...

This is not a strange thing, but it is strange that the eldest princess has always been a fierce and aggressive person.

After all, he was a martial artist. Mr. Liu only listened to what he said, then reached out and symbolically pinched Chu Xingchen's shoulder bones and limb bones, and said lightly, "Indeed, he is stronger and has better bones than Your Highness. I hope I can learn martial arts and archery faster than Your Highness..."

When Su Yingxue heard this, her face turned red like a ripe tomato and she fell silent. In fact, she couldn't deny it, right?

Fortunately, Chu Xingchen did not take this matter to heart. Perhaps it was because he had never seen Su Yingxue practice riding and shooting, or perhaps it was because, although he had heard of it, he really couldn't imagine how bad a person's riding and shooting skills could be.

After all, Chu Xingchen had learned horseback archery in recent years with the help of the secret guards. He left the secret guards to pretend to be him and went out of the palace to study as a palace maid. In fact, Chu Xingchen's current horseback archery skills were no longer ordinary.

Not to mention such beginner's skills as drawing the bow and shooting at the target, with his current riding and archery skills, even controlling a galloping horse and shooting birds in the sky at the same time are easy.

But now, Chu Xingchen had to hide his strength. After all, a prince who was too outstanding and capable was not a good thing in a capital like the Great Sheng Kingdom, where spies were everywhere.

Hiding one's weaknesses was inevitable. Chu Xingchen's eyes turned cold the moment he lowered his head. As long as he could get through this period, get the intelligence, leave Dasheng and return to Daqi, then it would be his chance to wash away his past shame and show his brilliance.

Chu Xingchen calmly concealed all the emotions in his eyes. He raised his eyes and looked coldly at the blushing girl not far ahead, but he was a little curious in his heart. If one day, Su Yingxue saw his true face, what expression would she have?

Now Su Yingxue is trying so hard to cultivate him and win him over, but she doesn't realize that she has actually been walking with a snake.

Chu Xingchen had been held hostage for ten years, consumed by national hatred, family grudges, and personal grudges. He hated the Great Sheng Kingdom just as much as he hated Su Yingxue and all the people of Da Qi. He crouched in the shadows, enduring, secretly gathering strength, waiting for the right moment to strike a fatal blow. Wasn't that just like a venomous snake hunting for its prey?

I wonder what kind of expression Su Yingxue would have if she discovered one day that her pet snake had bitten her to death? Disbelief? Regret?

Chu Xing was deep in thought, feeling inexplicably good. After all, if he saw her in pain and regret, he would feel that he had secretly vowed to take revenge on her in the future over the years.

There is a long way to go, Your Highness the Princess. I just don’t know if you, who have fallen from the clouds to the quagmire at that time, can endure such inhuman torture and humiliation as he did before.

Chu Xing stared at Su Yingxue with deep eyes, and asked silently in his heart...

······

Mr. Liu taught Chu Xingchen and Su Yingxue a few basic techniques and then left. He asked them to practice on their own for a while and come back to check on their results after two sticks of incense.

Today's lesson is still about drawing the bow and shooting at the target, because Su Yingxue has been learning for more than a month, but still can't grasp the essence of archery. Not to mention hitting the center of the bull's eye, even shooting at the target is a problem.

Su Yingxue shot several arrows in a row, but even though her posture and technique were correct, she still couldn't hit the bull's eye. Su Yingxue couldn't help but feel discouraged.

Su Yingxue looked at Chu Xingchen next to her. It was obviously his first time to shoot an arrow with a bow, but his archery posture and movements were so standard, as if he had practiced with the same template as Mr. Liu.

Su Yingxue had been firing arrows for over a month, but her arrows still couldn't even touch the target. But Chu Xingchen hadn't made it past the first lesson. At least his arrow had hit the target straight on. Although it was still far from the center, it was still enough to easily erase all her hard work in the first lesson.

As expected, God never chased her to feed her. There were probably not many people in the entire Great Sheng Kingdom who had no talent for martial arts like her. Su Yingxue sighed softly. She didn't dare to rest. She continued to pick up arrows one by one, draw the bow, aim, and shoot, doing mechanical repetitive training.
