Eunuch Fu was dumbfounded as he watched the Empress ride away. How … how could he reply to the Empress Dowager? If he told her the truth, she would definitely be angered to death, right?
"The Empress has left," the soldier who came with Eunuch Fu said softly.
"Nonsense, don't I have eyes?" Eunuch Fu glared at him.
The soldier smiled. "Then … then what should we do?"
What else could he do? Eunuch Fu sighed helplessly in his heart. When we go back, just say that we didn't find the Empress. You all remember?
"What did Eunuch Fu say? We didn't see the Empress in the first place," a young eunuch said with a smile.
The others nodded in agreement. "Yeah, I don't see the empress."
Eunuch Fu looked at him approvingly. He was indeed smart.
"Continue searching. When it's almost time, we'll report back," Eunuch Fu ordered.
Ye Zhen, who had already run far away with Jin Shanshan, felt the mountain breeze blowing on her face and relaxed. If she really went back to take into account the empress dowager's opinion of her, she would surely regret it.
She thought it through. In any case, it was impossible for the Empress Dowager to change her opinion of her in a short period of time. If the Empress Dowager was hypnotized, no matter how well she did, it was useless. If she wasn't hypnotized and the Empress Dowager hated her like this because of Ye Yaoyao's instigation, then no matter what she did, the Empress Dowager wouldn't like her anymore.
Then why did she have to look for trouble in front of the Empress Dowager?
"The Empress Dowager is looking for you. Can you not go back?" Jin Shanshan caught up with Ye Zhen and looked at the pleasant smile on her face.
Ye Zhen smiled faintly. "Anyway, I will be scolded when I go back, and I will be scolded when I return from hunting. Why should I go back at this time?"
"Empress Dowager … doesn't like you coming out to hunt?" Jin Shanshan asked. Then he realized that she was asking too much. "I'm just curious. I don't mean anything else."
"Perhaps." Ye Zhen smiled faintly. How could she explain that the Empress Dowager did not have such a temperament before? If the Empress Dowager knew that she was out hunting with Mo Rongzhan today, she might have asked her to hunt more prey and go back to have a good meal with her.
Jin Shanshan perceptively stopped asking. Since the Empress didn't care, then she didn't have to worry about being scolded by the Empress Dowager when she returned.
"What's that?" Ye Zhen had slowed down and looked at the jungle not far away.
"It looks like a wild boar," Jin Shanshan whispered.
Ye Zhen dismounted and slowly approached the jungle with her bow and arrows on her back.
Jin Shanshan followed behind her. Both of them held their breaths, afraid that they would scare away the wild boars in the jungle.
"Don't move!" As she approached the grass, Ye Zhen felt a tingling pain in her palm, and an ominous feeling welled up in her heart.
"What's wrong?" Jin Shanshan asked softly.
Ye Zhen whispered, "There's no movement. Something's wrong."
"Did the wild boar run away?" Jin Shanshan listened carefully. It seemed that there was really no sound at all.
How could the wild boar be so vigilant and run away so quickly?
No, they didn't hear any sound at all. The wild boar was clearly still in its original place.
"Back off!" Ye Zhen shouted.
They had only taken a few steps back when a sound came from the tall grass. Ye Zhen looked back in surprise and saw a hill in front of them.
Jin Shanshan looked at the huge creature in front of him in horror.
This... this is a wild boar?
Ye Zhen's eyes flashed with panic. How is this a wild boar? It's a mountain!
"You go first." Jin Shanshan stood in front of Ye Zhen and looked sharply at the terrible wild boar.
She had seen wild boars before. A normal wild boar weighed five or six hundred pounds, but the wild boar in front of her looked at least a thousand pounds.
It was impossible for her and the empress to kill it.
Ye Zhen did not speak. She knew that even if she turned around and ran, she might not be able to escape.
"Empress." Xue Lin and Shen Yi appeared on the other side at the same time. They had been secretly protecting Ye Zhen. When they saw the wild boar appear, it was too late for them to protect Ye Zhen and leave.
Seeing them, Ye Zhen's odds of winning increased a little.
Jin Shanshan grasped the sword in his hand and whispered to Ye Zhen, "I'll block it. You leave immediately."
Ye Zhen glanced at her and smiled. "I'm afraid you can't run away."
Before they had finished speaking, the wild boar, who had been judging the situation, had already run quickly. It felt that there were only two weak human beings in front of it, no threat at all. It could definitely give it a full meal.
At the moment it ran, the arrow in Ye Zhen's hand had already shot out and hit it in the eye.
The wild boar let out a tragic howl and ran towards them more ferociously.
Shen Yi and Xue Lin had come quickly and stood beside Ye Zhen. "Empress, leave it to us."
"It's too late." Ye Zhen said in a cold sweat. "Shoot!"
She shot an arrow at the wild boar's leg.
The wild boar's skin was so thick that the arrow didn't even cause any damage to its forelegs.
Ye Zhen retreated a few steps under the protection of Xue Lin.
Jin Shanshan and Shen Yi slashed at the wild boar with their swords.
"Be careful!" Ye Zhen shouted at Jin Shanshan.
"Damn bastard!" Jin Shanshan was almost killed by the wild boar's claws. She glared at the behemoth and grasped the sword in her hand.
Ye Zhen shot another arrow.
The wild boar was furious and ran quickly in Ye Zhen's direction.
Shen Yi jumped on the head of the wild boar and raised his sword to cut off its head, but he was thrown away by its brute force.
Jin Shanshan's arrow pierced the leg that had just been shot by Ye Zhen.
"Squeak —" The wild boar let out a tragic scream and hit Jin Shanshan.
Ye Zhen was protected by Xue Lin. When she saw Jin Shanshan being knocked away, her face suddenly changed and the arrow in her hand shot faster. "Xue Lin, cover this consort!"
"Empress, be careful!" Shen Yi cried and jumped on the head of the wild boar again.
Jin Shanshan lay on the ground motionless.
Ye Zhen was anxious and her attacks became more and more ruthless. She shot ten arrows in a row in the same place on the wild boar's chest.
Shen Yi and Xue Lin joined forces. Their swords stabbed into the wound at the same time and finally, the wild boar stopped.
"Jin Shanshan!" Ye Zhen didn't care about anything else and went straight in Jin Shanshan's direction. She carefully examined her body for wounds and checked her pulse. Fortunately … she was still alive.
Ye Zhen hurriedly took out a pill from her arms and stuffed it into Jin Shanshan's mouth.
Fortunately, Jin Shanshan was fine. Otherwise, she didn't know how to explain it to her brother. This girl was really honest and cute. Her brother asked her to protect her, but she really didn't care about her own life.
Ye Zhen's heart was indescribably moved. Just as she was about to stand up, she suddenly felt a huge shadow behind her. Her expression changed. Not only did she hear the cries of Xue Lin and Shen Yi, she also heard the howling of a wild boar.
She felt that she was definitely going to die. Jin Shanshan suddenly opened his eyes, grabbed the sword in his hand and flew out.
It struck the center of the wild boar's forehead.
