Cold-faced Empress

Fu Siying shook her head: "If the Jiang family doesn't retaliate, then I'll just hand them the opportunity. I'm not worried about them not taking action!"

……

The autumn hunt began in a grand manner. The emperor shot an arrow that hit a released deer, and instantly ten thousand horses galloped into the forest, like tigers descending the mountain and the surging of the sea.

Seeing the dust rising in the distance and the birds and beasts scattering in fright in the mountains and forests, a scene of great excitement, Fu Rongchen excitedly slapped his horse's rump, but unfortunately his horse was tied to a wooden pole by his elder sister and could not move.

"Elder sister, please let me go. What's the point of my autumn hunt if I don't go into the mountains to hunt?"

Fu Siying also tried her best to comfort Rong Chen: "Don't worry, you'll be allowed to go. Wait until the crowds have calmed down before you go, otherwise you might get accidentally injured by others before you even hunt any wild animals."

"If I wait until others have gone before I go, what wild animals will be left?"

Rong Chen was both anxious and angry. The boy, who had grown taller rapidly, was full of energy and ambition, and was unwilling to be second to anyone.

Fu Siying repeatedly reassured her, "Safety is the most important thing."

As soon as she finished speaking, a faint rebuttal suddenly sounded from behind her: "If you want to protect your life, safety is the most important thing, but if you want to hone your skills, you have to risk your life and fight against others."

The siblings turned around and saw Mo Canglan riding on horseback, followed by a group of guards.

He stood high above, clad in silver-plated soft armor that accentuated his robust physique. Even the white horse he rode was equipped with a helmet and armor, making him appear as if he were going to battle, exuding great majesty.

Seeing his imposing and imposing appearance, Fu Siying's heart tightened. She glanced to the side and, sure enough, saw a flash of longing and envy in Rong Chen's eyes.

The word "desire" couldn't be clearer.

Fu Rongchen greedily observed all the equipment on Prince Mu's body, wishing he could immediately swap all the equipment with himself so that Prince Mu could experience it firsthand.

Fu Rongchen stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Greetings, Master!"

Mo Canglan nodded: "Take your horse and come with me."

With Mo Canglan's words, Fu Rongchen immediately beamed with joy and turned around to excitedly untie his horse.

Seeing that the boy didn't even ask her a question, Fu Siying immediately coughed in a deep, displeased voice: "Ahem!"

Fu Rongchen, who was excitedly untying the reins, suddenly paused, slowly turning his head to look at Fu Siying, pleading pitifully, "Elder sister..."

The last note trailed off into the distance.

Fu Siying, now being addressed, adopted a serious expression. She glanced at Rong Chen, then rolled her eyes at Mo Canglan, and said in an old-fashioned tone, "Since Prince Mu is with you, then go ahead. Remember, with your limited abilities, don't try to be a hero."

After she said "Go," Fu Rongchen shouted "Thank you, elder sister," and then hurriedly led his horse toward Mo Canglan, not paying any attention to the second half of what she said.

As she watched Mo Canglan take Fu Rongchen away, Fu Siying let out a long sigh. She felt deeply powerless that Mo Canglan had replaced her as the one who could control Rongchen.

My younger brother was taken away by Prince Mu; my heart aches so much.

As she turned to go back to her tent, she suddenly noticed a fierce gaze. Fu Siying abruptly turned her head and stared intently, only to see Xia Suxi's figure appear in an inconspicuous spot in the distance!

Xia Suxi looked at Fu Siying with an unfriendly expression.

Seeing her resentful expression, Fu Siying curled her lips, turned her head away, and didn't intend to pay any attention to her.

She had only taken a few steps when she heard a shout from behind: "Fu Siying, come out here, I have something to say to you!"

Hearing the noise, Li and Yunzhi looked around anxiously. Fu Siying gave her mother and sister reassuring looks, then took her veil and walked towards Xia Suxi: "Miss Xia, would you like to chat here?"

Xia Suxi said fiercely, "Come with me!"

The two walked out of the camp, and Xia's servants brought two horses.

Fu Siying raised an eyebrow: "What, Miss Xia, is there something you can't say here, and you have to go somewhere far away?"

“There are too many people and too much chatter here,” Xia Suxi said irritably. “Didn’t you discuss things with me in a remote grove of trees before?”

"Ok."

Both Xia Suxi and Fu Siying are under the spotlight, and it's hard to feel at ease if they don't stay away from the camp.
