Quick transmigration to punish scumbags, have a child to inherit everything from them

The next day.

Liang Qiuli got up early and had breakfast with Xi Zhu's help. However, she did not go directly to the archery competition range, but went to Chu Tianling's tent first.

"Pear is here."

Two days ago, Liang Qiuli claimed to be ill, and Chu Tianling hadn't seen her for several days. Today, seeing Liang Qiuli dressed in a neat outfit, she looked exceptionally radiant and even more beautiful than before.

A gentle smile appeared on his face.

"You look great, it seems you've recovered quite well. Come with me to the shooting range later."

Before Liang Qiuli could respond, someone outside reported the news.

"Your Majesty, Princess Aya has arrived."

Aya had been keeping an eye on Liang Qiuli's movements and knew that she was heading towards Chu Tianling's tent. She was both curious and worried, so she came too.

Chu Tianling was about to answer when he suggested letting Aya in, because he felt that Liang Qiuli would understand him.

But Chu Tianling found that Liang Qiuli was tugging at his hand. He looked at Liang Qiuli's face, and she gently shook her head.

"Why?"

Chu Tianling went along with Liang Qiuli's wishes and did not summon Princess Aya in.

But his brows began to furrow, and Liang Qiuli, like the other women in the harem, worried that Princess Aya's appearance would threaten her, and began to act unreasonably.

Liang Qiuli wasn't that bored. She was just worried that if she kept staring at Chu Xuanming during the competition, Chu Tianling would become suspicious of her, so she wanted to build up her goodwill first.

And now that Princess Aya has arrived, she can take advantage of the situation and deliver this item at a great value.

Seeing that Chu Tianling was looking at her with some displeasure, she quickly took out a delicate little purse from behind her back, handed it to Chu Tianling, and said softly.

"Your Majesty, I would like to tie this purse on for you."

Chu Tianling frowned slightly as he looked at the purse Liang Qiuli handed him. Liang Qiuli had also learned to use such things to curry favor with him.

Liang Qiuli thought to herself, "Luckily, I'm lazy. I didn't embroider this myself. This bastard doesn't deserve to receive anything."

However, his acting skills remain unchanged.

A smile that looked more like a grimace appeared on her face. "If Your Majesty doesn't like it, then this concubine... this concubine will keep it."

As he spoke, he gripped his purse tightly and slowly pulled his hand back.

Chu Tianling felt a pang in his heart when he saw Liang Qiuli's expression. Had he misunderstood? Was this something Liang Qiuli made herself, or something she just grabbed to make up the numbers?

Thinking this way, he asked the question.

"Pear, did you embroider this purse yourself?"

"If the Emperor doesn't like it, what does it matter if it was made by my own hands?"

Liang Qiuli's words were cryptic and complex, leaving Chu Tianling with mixed feelings and a surge of guilt.

Li'er just wanted to make him happy and like him; what bad intentions could she possibly have?

Even if she did, it would only be a woman's infatuation, a longing to gain her husband's favor.

"I accept it. Quickly, put it on me."

Upon hearing Chu Tianling's words, Liang Qiuli's expression instantly lit up, though she still couldn't believe it.

Without stopping, he tied the purse on.

When Chu Tianling summoned Princess Aya in, the unpleasantness between the two seemed to have long since passed.

After Aya entered, she chatted familiarly with Chu Tianling about the archery competition. Chu Tianling answered her questions seriously, and the two seemed to have forgotten about Liang Qiuli's existence.

But Aya kept glancing at Liang Qiuli out of the corner of her eye, and she noticed that Liang Qiuli was different from the other women in the harem.

There was no jealousy in her eyes when she looked at herself.

Does she not love the Emperor of Great Chu?

This piqued Aya's curiosity.

Although Aya thought this, she didn't ask it out immediately.

The three of them then went to the archery competition venue together. When they arrived, Aya, contrary to her usual behavior, did not stay with Chu Tianling but ran to Liang Qiuli's side.

"Your name is Liang Qiuli? I don't sense any disgust towards me from you. How about we become friends?"

After these past few days, Aya has learned that Chu Tianling's harem is not peaceful, so finding someone who is not hostile to her to get close to is undoubtedly a wise choice for her.

Liang Qiuli was slightly taken aback upon hearing this. What was wrong with this princess?

She harbored no hostility towards the princess because she knew that a marriage between her and Chu Tianling was impossible.

Moreover, in her eyes, Chu Tianling was also a person who was about to die.

Liang Qiuli had a gentle but distant smile on her face. She was about to speak when she was interrupted by Chu Tianling, who was sitting at the head of the table not far away.

"Pear, since Princess Aya is willing to befriend you, you should agree."

Although Chu Tianling planned to kill the eldest prince of the Xiongnu tribe and even send troops to the Xiongnu, he also wanted to keep Princess Aya.

Since Chu Tianling had spoken, Liang Qiuli did not refuse. However, she suddenly thought of an interesting plan, and a meaningful smile appeared on her lips.

"The Prince Regent has arrived!"

As a loud announcement was made, Liang Qiuli followed the gazes of the crowd, and her heart stirred slightly.

A regent named Chu Xuanming, dressed in black armor and riding a pure white steed, came from afar.

As Chu Xuanming rode closer, the aura he exuded was impossible to ignore. It was a unique temperament that blended battlefield ruthlessness with profound political intrigue, causing everyone present to hold their breath in anticipation.

"With the Regent here, we will surely defeat the Xiongnu today!"

An official, fearing that the Xiongnu envoys might not hear him, spoke very loudly to the person beside him, his words filled with trust and admiration for Chu Xuanming.

"Hmph, we Xiongnu warriors have never even known how to write the word 'defeat'!"

Even the eldest prince of the Xiongnu envoys did not expect that the regent of the Great Chu would participate in the competition today.

Although the regent was indeed skilled in horsemanship and archery, the men they brought with them might not be able to match him.

However, the competition is best-of-three, and those who participate in the first round cannot participate in the second and third rounds.

It seems that besides Regent Chu Xuanming, the Great Chu has no one else left. They've revealed their trump cards so early; are they afraid of losing all three matches?

The eldest prince of the Xiongnu smiled coldly, a ruthless glint flashing in his eyes.

It seems we can indeed inform Father to prepare the army. Once they leave the territory of Great Chu, we can send a large army to press on their borders and catch them off guard.

Even if the Great Chu had Chu Xuanming, so what?

After the regent emerged, a warrior from the Xiongnu tribe followed behind him. He was also clad in armor and rode a tall horse, but his imposing presence paled in comparison to Chu Xuanming's.

The competition began quickly. The Xiongnu warriors, mounted on their horses, drew their bows to the target not far away and shot arrow after arrow as their horses pulled them along.

The arrows pierced the sky and landed precisely around the bullseye. Except for the last arrow, which missed the bullseye, all the others hit their targets, drawing cheers from the sidelines.

"it is good!"

"The Xiongnu will surely win!"

Liang Qiuli glanced curiously at Aya beside her, who showed no excitement and even a hint of disgust in her eyes.

Aya also noticed that Liang Qiuli was looking at her. Aya gently turned her head and met Liang Qiuli's gaze.

“This is one of the strongest warriors in our Xiongnu tribe. His archery skills are unmatched in our tribe. But he tried to take me by force, but I had no interest in that.”

Liang Qiuli also understood that Aya didn't like the kind of burly warriors, but preferred the pretty boy type like Chu Tianling.

"I see. Princess Aya has someone she likes, so she should go after him."

Upon hearing this, Aya became even more certain of her previous thoughts. It seemed that Consort Liang truly did not care about the Emperor of Great Chu, otherwise, why would she have tried to persuade her like this?

However, Aya will naturally speak out, since the two are friends now, and she would never betray a friend.

"Of course, it would be great if we could bring him back to the Xiongnu tribe."

Although Aya likes Chu Tianling, she actually dislikes the complicated etiquette and restrictive life of the Great Chu. She yearns for the freedom and unrestrained life on the grassland.

However, she was just saying it casually. If Chu Tianling really agreed to the marriage, she was afraid she would never be able to return to the grasslands for the rest of her life.

Liang Qiuli was surprised that Aya had such thoughts. Just as she was about to say something, the cheers of the ministers of Da Chu interrupted their conversation.

Chu Xuanming was seen riding his warhorse, drawing his bow and shooting arrows. He held two arrows at once and fired them simultaneously, both hitting the bullseye.

He then drew three arrows at the same time, and unsurprisingly, they hit the bullseye again.

Liang Qiuli had always heard Chu Xuanming say that he was very good at archery, but she never expected that he was so good that he could shoot multiple arrows at once and hit the bullseye every time. This skill was truly amazing.

Chu Xuanming also noticed Liang Qiuli's gaze and looked at her, but his hands did not stop. He shot three more arrows, which also hit the bullseye.

This drew gasps from the female relatives of the officials on the sidelines.

"I wish I could marry the Regent!"

"The Regent is looking over here. Is he looking at one of us? My heart is pounding!"

Liang Qiuli glanced at the crowd sitting below her, and the whispers of several noble ladies drifted into her ears on the breeze.

Liang Qiuli knew that Chu Xuanming was looking at her, and her heart started beating faster involuntarily, as if Chu Xuanming had just shot not an arrow, but her heart.

However, Liang Qiuli quickly composed herself, knowing that she couldn't show anything unusual in front of everyone.

So when she came to her senses, she saw that both Aya beside her and Chu Tianling at the head of the table not far away were still looking at Chu Xuanming, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Good good."

Although Chu Tianling was displeased, he still praised Chu Xuanming loudly, and even raised his voice to speak to the eldest prince of the Xiongnu tribe, as if he wanted to draw hatred for Chu Xuanming.

"The Regent's archery skills are truly superb."

Although the Xiongnu warriors were unparalleled in horsemanship and archery, they were still somewhat inferior to the Regent.

Upon hearing this, the eldest prince immediately clenched his fists, a flash of anger crossing his eyes. However, due to the occasion, he suppressed his emotions and forced a smile onto his lips.

"The regent of the Great Chu is indeed formidable; our Xiongnu tribe has lost this battle."

However, those who participated in this match cannot participate in the next one. In the next match, our Xiongnu tribe will definitely send even more outstanding warriors to compete against the masters of the Great Chu.

The eldest prince felt that although those warriors were not as good as Chu Xuanming, they were more than enough to surpass the rest of the Chu Kingdom.

"Then I will wait and see."

Although Chu Tianling said this, he wasn't that concerned about winning or losing the competition, since the eldest prince was going to lose his life in the third match.

There's no need to argue with a dying person.

In the second match in the afternoon, the Xiongnu warriors were noticeably more robust than the Chu warriors who were taking on the challenge.

The Xiongnu warrior displayed extraordinary momentum as soon as he entered the arena.

In the end, the Xiongnu tribe won, and the Great Chu lost.

Therefore, both sides seem to attach great importance to tomorrow's final match.

"I heard that the eldest prince will also participate in the hunting competition tomorrow, so you should get some rest today."

Although Chu Tianling spoke words of concern, he had already sentenced the eldest prince to death in his heart. He wouldn't live past tomorrow, so of course he needed to rest well tonight.

"Very well! Your Majesty the Emperor of Great Chu, our Xiongnu tribe will certainly go all out to show the spirit of our warriors."

The eldest prince was completely oblivious, even brimming with confidence, looking as if victory was assured.

……

Chu Tianling returned to his tent, angrily smashed a cup, and then roared.

"Damn the Xiongnu tribe, Xiao Fuzi, go and summon Eunuch Sun to me."

"It is because of this servant that it has taken so long to leave."

Xiao Fuzi shrank back in fear and quickly retreated to look for someone.

Upon hearing that Chu Tianling had summoned him, Eunuch Sun naturally rushed over without delay.

"Greetings, Your Majesty. What are your orders?"

“Eunuch Sun, having witnessed the might of the Xiongnu warriors today, I am worried that Minister Jiang and his men may not handle tomorrow’s affairs well and that something unexpected may happen.”

Chu Tianling sat looking down at the meek and submissive Eunuch Sun, but for some reason, seeing him like that made him feel uncomfortable all over.

Because of the poisoning incident, he lost his trust in Eunuch Sun, and this was a good opportunity to get rid of him.

"Does Your Majesty require me to take action?"

Grandpa Sun was completely unaware of anything amiss. Instead, he felt that Chu Tianling didn't trust the Jiang family and wanted him to go over and keep an eye on things, which meant he had immense trust in him.

"Yes. Eunuch Sun, I have always trusted you to handle things."

This time, you must not only ensure that the eldest prince does not leave the hunting grounds alive, but also do it cleanly and efficiently, so that everyone believes it was the Regent's doing.

A fierce glint flashed in Chu Tianling's eyes, and his tone was full of determination.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I will certainly live up to your expectations and handle this matter properly."

"The Emperor will soon have absolute power in his hands."

Eunuch Sun bowed respectfully, but for some reason his heart suddenly started pounding. Could something really happen tomorrow?

However, with him around, nothing will ever happen.

With that thought in mind, Eunuch Sun left Chu Tianling's tent to make preparations.

The next day, early in the morning.

Two teams of two people each were ready to go at the entrance of the hunting grounds, including Chu Xuanming and the eldest prince.

As Chu Tianling announced the start, everyone rode their horses into the dense forest path, and the hunting competition officially began.

Liang Qiuli watched the scene with some worry. She clenched her hands tightly, her eyes following Chu Xuanming's figure until he disappeared into the depths of the woods.

"Xi Zhu, let's go back."

The hunting competition wouldn't be over until the afternoon, and as Liang Qiuli watched the crowd disperse in twos and threes, she naturally couldn't stay any longer.

However, in a secluded corner not far from her tent, someone was already waiting for her.
