The woman's movements slowly stopped. Through his slightly cold eyes, she clearly realized that the young man was not lying.
The sharp tip of the arrow was pointed at her. It seemed that as long as she moved again, the other party would let go of his hand and let the cold arrow break through the air and shoot towards her.
The expression on her face also froze. A chill climbed up her back and her hair stood on end. A huge crisis shrouded her head. She wanted to say a few harsh words, but she couldn't say a word.
She had been domineering for so many years, but this was the first time she felt threatened by others. For a moment, she was shocked and angry. Her hatred for the young man reached its peak.
She had never been treated like this. She had never been wronged like this!
In fear, the woman didn't dare to pull the arrow. She didn't really care about her life. If she was hurt because of a momentary pleasure, the loss would outweigh the gain.
But she couldn't just let it go. She would remember this account and settle it in the future!
Didn't he point the arrow at her? When it fell into her hands, she wanted to see if the young man could still maintain his current expression when his cheek was scratched by the arrow!
The woman gave up her original action and slowly sat up straight. She urged the horse to retreat a few steps and leave the shooting range. She said, "This is under the Emperor's feet. Do you really dare to shoot me?"
Shen Yu slowly turned the direction and pointed the sniper at her again. "You can try. See if I dare."
He had nothing to fear.
The woman heard these words from his behavior and tone.
She didn't dare to do anything else, but her mouth refused to forgive him. "How can you easily hurt people under the Emperor's feet? If you really hurt me today, can you leave unharmed?"
"Didn't you do the same thing?" Shen Yu glanced at the woman in green who was still sitting on the ground. "What? You can get away with hurting people, but I have to be punished for hurting people?"
"She is just a concubine's daughter. If she is hurt, then she is hurt. Can anyone complain for her?" The woman raised her head and said with disdain. "If you hurt me, my father won't let you go!"
"Then you have to have a chance to complain. Don't you think so?"
As if to confirm Shen Yu's words, the guards behind them looked at the woman with murderous eyes.
"What are you trying to do?" The woman was terrified. "There are so many of us. Are you going to kill all of us?"
"This place is far away from the main road." Shen Yu looked around. "Even if something happens, no one will find out in a short time. Not many people know that you came here, right?"
The woman bit her lips. The young man was right. She had indeed chased after her prey. Her goal was to obtain good results and show her face in front of His Majesty. She had heard that His Majesty liked red, so she purposely wore red today. She did not expect to meet someone who was better than her in every aspect.
She looked at the young man again and realized that he was not lying. He really wanted to kill her.
At this moment, the sound of hooves could be heard from the forest. The noises of people were getting closer and closer.
"Are you sure the young lady went this way?" A dignified male voice sounded.
"This servant is sure. Young Miss chased a fox over here. Master, it's over there. Young Miss is over there!"
As he got closer, he could vaguely hear their conversation.
Hearing the familiar voice, the woman's face lit up. Her suppressed arrogance was reignited.
"Fox?" Shen Yu smiled faintly. "I shot a deer. How could there be a fox nearby?"
The woman pursed her lips. Of course, she knew that the fox had run away. Saying that sentence was just an excuse to get the deer.
While they were talking, the people on the other side had already walked towards them. Seeing the two sides faintly confronting each other, the middle-aged man was stunned. "What's going on?"
"Someone just called the deer a fox and wanted to extort the deer I shot." Shen Yu had already put down his bow. He did not really intend to do anything to the woman.
"Father, they stole my prey and wanted to hurt me. You have to get justice for your daughter. How can two men bully a weak woman?" The woman saw that her backer had come. She was full of energy, and her eyes flashed with a touch of insidiousness.
She would get back the face she had just lost a thousand times!
The middle-aged man frowned and looked to the other side. He wanted to say something, but after seeing who was opposite, he suddenly closed his mouth.
！！！
Of all the people to provoke, why did they have to provoke the two most untouchable people in Da Huan?
The man did not dare to delay. He jumped off his horse, walked a few steps forward, and respectfully knelt down. "This official greets Your Majesty."
"Father, what are you doing …" The woman covered her mouth in shock. She could not believe what she had heard.
What was her father saying? The person opposite was the emperor?!
"Xu daren has taught his daughter well." Shang Junlin's tone was light.
Xu daren's forehead was covered in sweat. His whole body was tense. If the emperor did not ask him to stand up, he did not dare to stand up. He maintained his kneeling position and did not move.
It was not easy for him to be transferred to the capital. It was very likely that today's matter would be ruined.
The others did not dare to stay on their horses. No matter if they were sitting or standing, they all crawled and fell to their knees. Their foreheads touched the ground, and they did not dare to breathe.
They never thought that their first meeting with the emperor would be under such circumstances.
The woman's face was completely white. No matter how unwilling she was to believe it, she had to admit that the person opposite her was the emperor of Da Huan. What did she do?
The woman knelt on the ground, her body trembling uncontrollably. She did such a thing in front of the emperor. She did not dare to think of the consequences.
"Xu daren did not teach his daughter well. There is no need to rush to take office. As for your good daughter," Shang Junlin looked at the woman with disgust. "She spoke rudely to zhen and the emperor. Punish her according to the law."
Punish according to the law? That would be taking his daughter's life.
Xu daren thought of his wife at home and had to plead. "I beg Your Majesty to give her a way out. My daughter is young and ignorant. She did not know the identity of Your Majesty and the emperor. This official only has one daughter, so it is inevitable that she has been spoiled. I beg Your Majesty to be lenient."
"This humble girl really did not know." The Xu family's daughter kowtowed. "If this humble girl knew that it was Your Majesty and the emperor, even if this humble girl had ten thousand guts, this humble girl would not dare to be disrespectful!"
"So you are saying that if Your Majesty and I did not have our current identities, we would be bullied by others?" Shen Yu coldly sneered. "Then can I guess that Miss Xu has done such things before?"
After speaking, Shen Yu turned to Shang Junlin. "Your Majesty, why don't we investigate together? Otherwise, there will be people who say that I do not tolerate people in my eyes. When I see someone trying to get close to Your Majesty, I will kill them. I cannot bear such a reputation."
"The emperor's words are reasonable. We will do as the emperor says. Meng Chang, go and issue the decree."
Eunuch Meng, who had been following the crowd, walked out. "This servant receives the decree."
At this moment, Lord Xu felt his vision turning dark. He never expected that his daughter would cause such a huge disaster. If he knew about this earlier, he would have strictly watched his daughter back in Hanzhou City to prevent her from developing such an arrogant character. But now, it was too late to say anything.
Lord Xu still did not know that his daughter, who he thought was just a little arrogant, would bring him a huge 'surprise'.
No one dared to slack off when Shang Junlin ordered an investigation.
Hanzhou City wasn't far from the capital. After the imperial decree was issued, officials immediately set off from the capital to Hanzhou City to investigate the truth.
The Xu family's daughter was locked up.
When Lord Xu returned, Madam Xu came up to him. When she saw the green-clothed woman following behind Lord Xu and her daughter missing, a bad premonition arose in her heart.
"Why are you the only ones back? Where's Junjun? "Madam Xu suppressed the panic in her heart and tried her best to ask in a calm voice.
Lord Xu wore an unsightly expression. He knew how much his wife doted on his daughter, so he had no idea how to explain to her about what had just happened.
Seeing that Lord Xu's expression wasn't good, Madam Xu became even more flustered. She turned to look at the green-clothed woman and gave her a slap. "You're back, but your sister isn't? Didn't I say that you have to be wherever she is? "
Knitting his brows, Lord Xu replied, "Why did you slap her? She can't do anything about this matter. "
The green-clothed woman held onto her face and tilted her head to the side. A brief moment later, she chuckled. Slowly, her laughter grew louder and louder.
"What are you laughing about?"
Madam Xu, don't you know your own daughter's temperament? It's not like you don't know how many high-ranking officials and nobles can come to the Autumn Hunt. You don't know how many of them have outstanding looks. With Xu Wanjun's temperament, if she met those people, what do you think she would do? "
Madam Xu's eyes flickered. "Which noble did she get into a conflict with?"
The green-clothed woman ignored Madam Xu's words and continued, "This isn't Hanzhou City, and it's not a place where you can do whatever you want. What do you think the consequences will be if she continues to act as she did in the past?"
The green-clothed woman lowered her hand, and there was an obvious palm print on her face.
"Think about what your daughter has done. His Majesty has ordered for a thorough investigation. Not only her, but the disgusting things you did in the past will soon be announced to the world. My poor mother can finally rest in peace."
"Why are you dragging others into Junjun's matter?" Lord Xu was displeased. "Nonsense! Take the second miss away. Without my orders, no one is allowed to let her out."
After the green-clothed woman was taken away, Lord Xu told Madam Xu everything that happened today.
When Madam Xu heard it, her vision turned dark.
The matter here didn't affect the hunt. In the evening, the participants returned with their prey. Shen Yu and Shang Junlin returned to the camp earlier. After being disturbed, Shen Yu didn't have the mood to continue.
Shang Junlin originally wanted to accompany him. When he saw that Shen Yu wasn't in a good mood, he simply brought him back.
"Next time, I'll send people to guard the surroundings to prevent people who don't have eyes from barging in." Shang Junlin said as he massaged Shen Yu's wrist.
Shen Yu rarely exercised so much. He didn't feel it earlier, but when he relaxed, he only felt that his wrist hurt badly. Shang Junlin took out an ointment and massaged him.
As the cool feeling seeped into his skin, the soreness was effectively relieved. Shen Yu moved his fingers. "Why is Your Majesty so overbearing?"
"It's better than people who don't have eyes to make you unhappy." Shang Junlin put away the ointment and pulled Shen Yu to stand up. "Let's go, they should be back soon."
The sky gradually darkened, and a bonfire was lit in the open space. Shang Junlin held Shen Yu's hand and walked out.
"Does Your Majesty know how to roast meat? Later, Your Majesty will roast meat for me. Roast the deer that I hunted today, okay? "
Lord Xu and Madam Xu, who were approaching, happened to hear this sentence. When Madam Xu knew that the cause of her daughter's misfortune was the deer, her face instantly became ugly.
