The daughter of the emperor was reborn and was spoiled by the sickly prince.

Liao Qinglan, who had been in the crowd, saw everything that had just happened.

Her fists were clenched and fire was about to burst from her eyes.

Many times she wanted to rush out and have a good argument with the Prince of Zheng.

But Liao Wei kept secretly pulling her sleeve and signaling her with his eyes to stay calm.

When Prince Zheng first proposed using a human target, she almost went up to beat him up.

Liao Wei held her tightly and reminded her in her ear: "Lan'er, don't be impulsive and don't reveal your identity."

Even though Gu Mingzhao became emperor, he was just moody and not cruel or violent.

What's more, he is still a gentleman who has not turned to evil.

He couldn't accept this method of competition and had no choice but to admit defeat.

But she didn't want Gu Mingzhao to lose!

Liao Qinglan broke free from Liao Wei's restraints and walked out of the crowd.

Liao Wei was shocked. He didn't expect his sister to break free at this time.

His hand was still grasping his sleeve, but Liao Qinglan was no longer in sight.

If he chased after her at this time, it would only lead people to explore Liao Qinglan's true identity, so Liao Wei had no choice but to place his hope on Gu Mingzhao.

I hope he is sensible and doesn’t play tricks with Liao Qinglan.

Liao Qinglan walked to Gu Mingzhao's side, and with unquestionable determination in her voice, she repeated: "I am willing to be Mr. Gu's target, let him have a try!"

Gu Mingzhao, who had remained calm in the face of repeated provocations from the Prince of Zheng, finally showed a change in his expression.

Miss Liao was dressed in simple servant's attire and was not noticeable in the crowd.

She deliberately made herself look ugly, and her rough and dark skin showed nothing of her former beauty and cuteness.

However, her big almond-shaped eyes were still as clear as before, able to penetrate her ordinary appearance, allowing Gu Mingzhao to recognize her at a glance.

Gu Mingzhao whispered, "What are you doing here? Go back now!"

"I don't want to see you lose." Liao Qinglan said softly.

Then he turned his head and looked at the Prince of Zheng: "You are right. Power can certainly force others, but only people with outstanding virtues like Master Gu can make people convinced. I volunteer to be a target just to prove one thing."

She paused, raised her voice and said, "You are not as good as him in any way!"

Liao Qinglan's voice was loud, and she made no secret of her disdain for the Prince of Zheng.

The prince of Zheng did not expect that such an ordinary servant would openly challenge his authority.

"Who do you think you are? How dare you speak to me like that!" He was furious and kicked Liao Qinglan.

The two were too close to each other, and Liao Qinglan had no time to dodge.

But at the moment when his foot was about to fall, Gu Mingzhao quickly stood in front of Liao Qinglan and took the angry kick with his back.

Liao Qinglan widened her eyes and almost screamed out loud!

Gu Mingzhao’s leg injury had just healed, and this kick would be terrible!

"Gu..."

She wanted to ask, but Gu Mingzhao stopped her with his eyes. He shook his head gently, signaling her not to worry.

Seeing his sister almost injured, Liao Wei could no longer sit still. He strode over and stared at the Duke of Zheng with a sharp gaze: "If you can't win the argument, just hit him. The prince is really so powerful!"

"He's just a servant. What if I beat him to death?" The Prince of Zheng was very arrogant.

"Even if he is just a servant, he is still a member of the Liao Mansion. It is not your turn to deal with him."

The Prince of Zheng was so angry at their constant verbal abuse that his face turned blue.

"Okay, I won't do it. Now I have a target, Gu Mingzhao, are you afraid?"

The Prince of Zheng was very excited. As long as Gu Mingzhao failed, the damn servant would also die. Let's see what Liao Wei would say then!

"I refuse to accept this meaningless challenge." Gu Mingzhao stood where he was without moving.

The Duke of Zheng raised his eyebrows and said, "Are you afraid?"

Gu Mingzhao didn't want to argue with him anymore.

Liao Qinglan walked straight into the venue, picked up the target and held it high.

"Master Gu, to deal with this kind of person, you have to defeat him in his own way, so that he will have nothing to say!"

Liao Qinglan said loudly, with a determined light in her eyes.

"Go ahead! He's willing to do it, why are you pretending?"

Upon seeing this, the Prince of Zheng raised a smug smile. He had already imagined the scenario of Gu Mingzhao's failure in his mind.

He felt very excited as he imagined that he would soon see the confused expressions of Liao Wei and Gu Mingzhao.

Gu Mingzhao picked up the bow, gently stroked the bow with his fingers, closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and tried to calm himself.

This was the most tense archery experience in his life. Every detail and every movement was crucial.

Everything around him seemed to become blurry, and he could feel his heartbeat quickening. Every heartbeat seemed to be talking to himself, reminding him to stay calm and focused.

When he opened his eyes again, they were clear and resolute.

Liao Qinglan on the opposite side was fearless and stood still.

There was no panic or anxiety on her face, only trust in Gu Mingzhao in her eyes.

As their eyes met, a tacit understanding flowed between the two.

Although there are no words, it is better than all the encouragement and support.

He slowly raised the bow and arrow in his hand, pulled the bowstring, and felt the tension of the bowstring.

Gu Mingzhao took a deep breath, then suddenly loosened his fingers.

The arrow pierced the clouds and flew through the wind, heading straight for the bull's eye.

The moment the arrow passed through the center of the bull's eye, Gu Mingzhao's heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally settled down.

Only then did he realize that his palms were full of sweat.

Liao Qinglan was smiling brightly at him, like a spring breeze on his face, making all the tension in his heart disappear.

However, at this moment, the Prince of Zheng became furious and picked up a bow and arrow, aiming viciously at Liao Qinglan who was running towards him.

"go to hell!"

At the moment when the arrow was about to leave the bow, Gu Mingzhao reacted quickly, raised the bow in his hand again, and shot at the Prince of Zheng with lightning speed.

The arrow was like a bolt of lightning, striking straight at his arm.

The Prince of Zheng let out a cry of pain, and the bow and arrow in his hand fell to the ground.

He covered his injured arm and screamed in pain.

Everyone around was stunned by this scene. They didn't expect that the situation in a competition would turn out like this. They couldn't help but break into a cold sweat for Gu Mingzhao.

That’s the prince of Zheng!

"How dare you hurt me! How dare you hurt me! I will kill you!"

The roar of the Prince of Zheng echoed in the garden, his eyes were full of anger and unwillingness, and he wished he could eat Gu Mingzhao and Liao Qinglan alive.

Liao Wei was afraid that he would do something extreme again, so he stood in front of the two of them and said, "You were the one who wanted to hurt someone, and Master Gu had no choice but to do it. What's more, you broke Gu Mingzhao's leg before, and now he hurt your arm, so we are even. If you continue to pester us, we will have to go to the government to argue."

"Prince, you are injured. Let's go back and bandage him first. There is no need to rush for revenge." The follower of Prince Zhengguo whispered.

Although the Prince of Zheng was angry, he also understood that now was not the time to cause trouble. With Liao Wei here, he might not be able to gain any advantage if he really took the matter to the government.

He glared at Gu Mingzhao with resentment and swore secretly in his heart that there was still a long time to go, and he would find a chance to get back the debt!

"Let's go!" The Prince of Zheng and his followers left.
