While urging his horse to chase, he shot the arrow.

Almost at the moment the arrow was shot, not only did the little rabbit fall to the ground, but one could even hear someone screaming in pain.

Emperor Sheng An's expression suddenly changed, and his heart sank. Oh no, did he shoot and hurt someone?

He didn't bother to think about how someone could break into the royal hunting ground without permission. He rushed over and saw a thin woman in plain clothes lying on the ground with a painful look on her face.

Emperor Sheng An quickly stepped forward and asked, "Miss, how are you?"

She sobbed sadly: "Don't worry about me first, go and look at the little rabbit, it's injured too!"

Emperor Sheng An couldn't help but frown. Is there something wrong with this person? She herself is injured like this, and she is still thinking about a little beast.

However, he didn't show it on his face. He said in a deep voice, "The little rabbit is not in danger of death, it just has injured its legs. I'll take it back and let the doctor take care of it!"

The woman finally breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good!"

Emperor Sheng An frowned and looked at her: "But you are also injured. Can I send someone to find a doctor to heal you?"

The woman shook her head stubbornly: "No, I can't stay here for too long. I sneaked in to find a special herb for my mother. If I'm discovered by others, my life will be in danger. I have to leave quickly!"

After saying that, she struggled to get up.

Emperor Sheng An didn't expect that she would leave. If it were another woman, she would have been in so much pain that she would have lost consciousness.

Before he could say anything, the woman suddenly fell to the ground.

He had no choice but to walk over and say, "Don't be so stubborn. I brought a doctor with me this time. Ask him to bandage your wound!"

Unexpectedly, the woman who was able to speak just now suddenly fell into a coma.

Emperor Sheng An did not suspect anything and thought that he might have fainted from the pain.

After all, she was shot by herself, so the only thing she could do now was to carry her away quickly.

Otherwise, the bloody smell from her wounds would attract other wild beasts.

He carried the woman onto his horse and galloped out of the dense forest.

Just then, Zhan Yan came back and asked in confusion, "Your Majesty? Where did this girl come from?"

Emperor Sheng An replied solemnly, "He said he came to the mountains to look for a special medicinal herb, snuck into the royal hunting grounds, and was shot by an arrow from me!"

Zhan Yan couldn't help but frown. Logically speaking, the emperor went out of the palace to hunt on a whim, and his whereabouts should not be known to anyone.

So how did this woman appear so coincidentally?

Is it really an accident?

Before he could figure it out, Emperor Sheng An urged him, "Zhan Yan, what are you still standing there for? Hurry and call the doctor over!"

Zhan Yan didn't hesitate any longer and quickly went to call the imperial physician.

There was originally a palace prepared for rest in the hunting ground, so Emperor Sheng An temporarily placed the woman there.

When the imperial physician asked to remove the arrow, his expression was somewhat complicated.

He whispered, "Your Majesty, the location of her injury is rather awkward. Should we wake her up first and ask for her opinion?"

Emperor Sheng An frowned and said, "Human life is at stake. We cannot delay. As a doctor, she shouldn't blame you. Even if she complains when she wakes up, I will explain!"

The imperial physician dared not say a word and immediately treated her wounds.

When Emperor Sheng An walked out of the palace, he saw Zhan Yan talking to Li Delu.

Both of them looked unhappy!

He frowned and asked, "What's wrong?"

Li Delu replied cautiously, "Your Majesty, Marquis Zhan Yi is asking me who knew about your hunting trip out of the palace."

Emperor Sheng An looked at Zhan Yan and asked, "Do you think this woman was deliberately arranged by someone?"

Zhan Yan nodded: "It's better to be safe than sorry. The timing of her appearance is too coincidental. I have to be on guard!"

Emperor Sheng An waved his hand and said, "You worry too much. I only brought Li Delu and a few Jinyiwei with me when I left the palace this time. No one knows my whereabouts at all!"

He paused and continued, "Just now, I looked at the woman's shoes and backpack. I can guess that she has been wandering in this mountain for a long time. Being shot by me was purely accidental!"

Zhan Yan didn't argue with him anymore and suppressed his doubts first.

Soon, the imperial physician hurried out and said worriedly, "Your Majesty, please go and see her. The girl is trying to leave in a rage. She's so badly injured that she can't even move around right now!"

Emperor Sheng An walked in quickly and saw the woman huddled in the corner with a look of fear on her face.

He asked gently, "Are you awake? Does your wound still hurt?"

She bit her lip hard, and after a moment she murmured hoarsely: "I, I don't feel any pain anymore, can I leave now? My mother is still waiting for me. We just arrived in the capital, and she fell ill due to acclimatization. I have to go back to accompany her, otherwise, she will be scared!"

Emperor Sheng An had never seen such a stubborn little girl. Blood was still oozing from her wound and her lips were trembling in pain, but she was still in a hurry to leave.

Isn't she afraid of death?

He took a deep breath and said, "Tell me, where does your mother live? I'll have someone bring her here first. There are doctors here who can treat your injuries and your mother's illness as well. Isn't that killing two birds with one stone?"

The woman was stunned at first, then she hugged her arms tightly and said, "Why are you so nice to me? I don't have any money, otherwise I wouldn't come to the mountain to pick herbs!"

Emperor Sheng An was amused by her appearance. He couldn't help but say, "I am the one who shot you. I'm not doing this for your good, but I have to save you because it's my responsibility!"

The woman finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I don't need you to be responsible. I have hands and feet, I can get down the mountain by myself!"

Seeing her angry look, Emperor Sheng An felt it was very fresh.

In this world, apart from Lin Yiwan, no one else dares to be willful to him.

He patiently explained, "The doctor just said that you shouldn't move around too much with your wound. Otherwise, when it opens again, it will leave a big scar!"

The woman lowered her head to look at the wound, and then whimpered in grievance.

Emperor Sheng An had no choice but to say, "Don't cry. It's getting dark. You have to hurry and get your mother here. Otherwise, she will be so worried about you."

The woman had no choice but to tell him the inn where she was staying and asked him to send someone to pick her up.

Emperor Sheng An came back with the instructions and asked curiously, "I still don't know your name. What's your name?"

She lowered her eyes and answered, "My surname is Yin, and my name is Yi Huan. I followed my mother to Beijing to seek refuge with a friend, but I got sick from the unfamiliar climate. I'm afraid of being rejected, so I'm staying at an inn temporarily!"

Emperor Sheng An was stunned. "Yin? But the Yin family from Shicheng?"

She cried and said, "Well, because my father and my brother coveted my cousin's wealth, they became greedy. After they were caught, they were sentenced to death. So my mother and I had no choice but to go to the capital to seek a way out!"
