Although the moonlight is clear tonight, it is not as good as during the day. Moreover, it is difficult to see at night, not to mention the moonlight in the forest. It is not easy to shoot accurately at this time.

Shen Yanzhu ordered twelve jade pendants to be hung in the forest, and promised that whoever came out on top would be rewarded with the thousand-year-old ancient sword "Hantan Qingjian" he had collected.

Such a reward is naturally the favorite of most people. Men, especially those who are fond of martial arts, love good horses and precious weapons. If they can get a famous ancient sword, it will be like a treasure.

Ana Shen smiled and said, "But the Hantan Qingjian is also my favorite, so I naturally want to participate."

"Your Majesty, there is a beautiful lady here this time. I dare you to ask Your Majesty to give us some opportunities. How about two men and a woman in a group?"

Shen Yanzhu rolled his eyes, there were not so many strict rules in autumn hunting, not to mention each riding a horse, the ministers who had not left the palace had their faces covered with gauze, and each was followed by a maid and a servant, so it didn't matter. .

Shen Yanzhui looked at the man who came forward to speak. He was young and still had a hint of shyness on his face. However, he did not see him being attentive to Jing Shu. He must have fallen in love with a girl from another family.

It would be nice to have the beauty of an adult!

He glanced at Su Ning'an and said with a smile: "I agree. I will give you half an hour. If any young lady is willing to come with us, I will invite you. If not," Shen Yanzhui glanced around, and many young masters looked at him eagerly. , several questions also fell on Jing Shu, "You can also participate, but you need to start a moment later than others."

As soon as Shen Yanzhui finished speaking, he saw that several people had already taken action.

Su Ning'an saw Ana Shen's eyes drifting toward her and couldn't help but take a few steps back.

In this situation, the emperor and empress should be together. During the day, she was already with the emperor, and now she really can no longer steal the spotlight from the empress.

Seeing Suning'an retreating, Ana Shen frowned slightly, but before she could speak, she heard the queen say: "I may have been sweating and windy during the day, and I have a headache. I'm afraid I won't be able to accompany your majesty." .”

Shen Yanzhui nodded and helped the queen up, "Your health is important." After saying that, he personally sent the queen back to the tent, and assigned an imperial doctor to take the queen's pulse.

The imperial doctor felt the queen's steady pulse, which was very healthy. But since the queen said she had a cold, she had a cold.

The old god immediately prescribed a tonic for the queen, and quickly had her captured and boiled.

In less than a quarter of an hour, Su Ning'an saw Ana Shen come back, with An Li holding the horse behind him.

"The Queen is unwell, but Concubine Chen is not unwell, right? You can't leave me alone?"

Su Ning'an glanced at Shen Yanzui, paused for a moment, and then stepped forward, "But I don't know how to shoot arrows, and I can't ride a horse well. What if the emperor loses the sword?"

Shen Yanzhuo smiled and pulled her into his arms, "It's just a sword. When did I become so stingy?" As he said that, he led Suningan onto the horse, with Gu Yuan accompanying him.

Gu Yu'an knew that when the emperor and Concubine Chen were together, he didn't like others to follow him too close. He glanced around a little, tightened the reins, and slowed the horse down, but still focused on the emperor.

"Your Majesty, look, there is one over there." Su Ning'an pointed to the jade pendant hanging among the branches and leaves dozens of steps away. It was reflected clearly in the moonlight.

"Want to give it a try?" Shen Yanzhuo said, having already put the bow in Suning'an's hand.

"Can I?" Suning'an blinked and was very excited. It looked like it was easy for the emperor to shoot an arrow every time, but she had also tried it. Even the bow was very heavy, let alone pulling the string.

"I'm here, what are you afraid of?"

As he said that, he grabbed Su Ning'an's hand and got into a position, stretched his bow and nocked an arrow, and with a "whoosh" sound, the arrow came out of the string.

"Yeah, it really hit."

Su Ning'an couldn't help but grabbed his wrist in excitement. Ana Shen Yanzhui looked at the raised corners of Su Ning'an's lips, leaned down and kissed him softly, "It's so easy to be happy so easily."

On the contrary, Suning'an lowered his head slightly and pushed Ana Shen with his elbow, "Really, Master Gu is still here."

Gu Yu'an picked up the pendant on the ground with a discerning eye and put it into the bag on his waist without stepping forward to disturb it.

The two continued walking into the woods, and the sound of horse hooves could be heard from time to time.

Although the woods at night were always a bit scary, she was not scared at all because she was with Ana Shen.

"I wonder what's going on with Princess Jingshu? The princess is quiet, so I don't know if she will participate."

Ana Shen smiled and said, "Don't worry, I just saw that she accepted the invitation from Prince Wenxin."

Su Ningan finally felt relieved after hearing this, but she also wondered what Prince Wenxin was like.

The horse walked neither fast nor slowly in the forest. Unlike Shen Yanzui who was leisurely and seemed to be having a tryst with her, Su Ning'an concentrated on finding the jade pendant for him in the forest.

Ana Shen pinched her cheek in a funny way, "Don't be so attentive, just pretend that we sneaked out to play, okay?"

"But..." Su Ning'an wanted to say something else, but his eyes suddenly became much darker. He looked up almost intuitively, only to see a dark cloud drifting across the sky, covering most of the moon.

Ana Shen's eyes tightened and he protected Su Ning'an almost subconsciously.

Suning'an's heart also jumped suddenly, and suddenly she heard a sound of piercing the air from the rear left approaching towards them.

"emperor!"

"Don't be afraid!" Shen Yanzhu's brows sank, and he almost raised his hand to catch the flying arrow, but he heard another arrow chasing after him from behind and hitting it hard. On one arrow, two arrows hit the ground one after another, and then all the strength was relieved.

"It's okay." Ana Shen stroked Su Ning'an's back. At this moment, the dark clouds had drifted away, and the words engraved on the two arrows were clearly visible. One was from Gu Yu'an, and the other was...

Shen Yan glanced back with his peripheral vision, and Gu Yu'an immediately looked for the direction of the arrow and chased it.

"Is there an assassination?" Su Ning'an looked at the arrow on the ground, still frightened, and his body was still weak.

"No." Ana Shen said calmly, as if what happened just now had not happened, "It's a test."

"Testing?" Su Ning'an was puzzled, "Testing for what?"

"Your Majesty, spare your life, Your Majesty, please spare your life!" Before Su Ning'an could wait for the answer, he saw a young man sneaked over by Gu Yuanti.

The young man never expected that his arrow would actually come towards the emperor and Concubine Chen. He was immediately frightened and fell off his horse. When he saw Gu Yuan, he was so frightened that he cried.

Shen Yanzhui looked at the boy. He seemed to be fifteen years old, which was not very old.

"It's easy to make mistakes at night. You didn't mean it, but you almost hurt me and Concubine Chen. You still need to be punished. Go and receive ten lashes yourself."

The young man kowtowed vigorously as if he had been granted amnesty, and then resigned.

"Your Majesty." Gu Yu'an examined the arrow carefully and handed it to Shen Yanzui with both hands.

Ana Shen looked at the scratch on the arrow, which seemed to be the mark left by being hit by a hard object, which caused the arrow to change its direction.
