This queen is not too curly

Chapter 136 There Will Be No Marriage

There is a cool air in the forest after the snow.

Yan Yuan stood motionless on the spot, holding her breath and listening to the sound in the distance.

The birds returned to the forest, the snow fell from the branches, and... the slightest step on the snow when the soles of the feet stepped on the snow, it seemed that something was slowly walking around where they were.

Princess Yuerong followed Chen Ling for a while, and now she finally regained her breath. Seeing that Yan Yuan suddenly froze into a wooden figure, she couldn't help but ask strangely, "Your Majesty, what's going on..."

Before she finished speaking, she suddenly heard the sound of leaves shaking behind her.

Then she smelled a subtle fishy smell.

"Get out of the way!"

Yan Yuan shouted sharply.

Princess Yuerong was still standing there motionless.

Yan Yuan had already flew forward, threw Princess Yuerong down, and rolled her on the snow ground several times in her arms, then quickly took out the bow behind her back, took the arrow and pulled the bow to string in one go.

Yan Yuan stared at the thing in front of her, and said sharply, "Qiu Yu, protect Your Majesty!"

Qiu Yu immediately stood in front of Chen Lingchen: "Yes!"

Princess Yuerong stood up precariously. She was a little dizzy from rolling on the ground just now, and her body was covered with grass clippings and mud stains. At this time, her eyes were still a little confused with anger, but they suddenly widened in the next moment. eyes.

She saw a huge brown-yellow beast in front of her. The beast's body was covered with black markings. A pair of bean-sized eyes were looking at her direction, and the sharp fangs were constantly dripping with foul-smelling saliva.

This, is this... a tiger?
Fear was like a sharp knife, piercing Princess Yuerong's heart.

She opened her mouth, unable to make a sound, and could only follow her instinct to move back step by step.

Yan Yuan heard the sound of footsteps, and said coldly: "Princess, you'd better follow behind me, don't stay too far away."

Yuerong obviously couldn't listen to anything anymore, her whole face turned blue-gray, she grabbed her head with both hands, and the sharp cry finally broke through her throat and resounded in the forest: "Ahhhhhhhhhhh!"

The next moment the tiger suddenly jumped up!

Yan Yuan's bow and arrow followed the trend.

But it's off.

Only one leg of the tiger was shot.

Because the tiger didn't rush at her at all, but at Princess Yuerong.

The leg injury hindered the tiger's movement, it slowed down, and slowly walked towards Princess Yuerong.It completely ignored the other people, as if only Princess Yuerong was a supreme delicacy in the forest.

But why?
A little doubt flashed through Yan Yuan's mind.

Why is there such a beast in the royal hunting ground?
Why does it seem to only be staring at Princess Luna?

Why didn't Chen Lingshen and the princess's hidden guard respond?
But the situation was critical, she didn't have time to think about it, so she quickly chased after her and stood in front of Princess Yuerong again.

The tiger stopped ten steps away from Yan Yuan and the princess, crawled down, rubbed its sharp claws on the ground, and let out a deep roar from its throat, making final adjustments for the next sprint.

At that time, Yan Yuan had already drawn her bow to the full, her eyes fixed on the tiger.

She is waiting for an opportunity.

A tiger that is wounded and stubbornly resists is far more terrifying than a healthy tiger. If it misses a vital shot next time, it will definitely bite at close quarters, and the consequences will be disastrous.

"Yan Yuan!"

Chen Ling's deep voice finally brought a trace of panic.

He wanted to rush forward, but Qiu Yu stubbornly stopped him: "Your Majesty, don't come near!"

Chen Lingchen also had a bow and arrow on his body. At this time, his shooting position was not good, but it was too late. With a livid face, he drew the bow to the full string, aimed at the tiger's waist, and shot an arrow without any hesitation!
Almost at the same time, the tiger let out an earth-shattering howl, and jumped up in the direction of Princess Yuerong!

Yan Yuan's bow and arrow shot off the string at this moment!
Both arrows arrived at the same time.

The arrow touched the tiger's chest and pierced the tiger's heart.

With a scream, the tiger crashed to the ground. Its huge body rolled several times on the snow, its claws dug deep into the soil, and its desperate roar echoed in the forest.

After a while, it finally stopped moving.

It was hit by an arrow in the chest and waist and abdomen, no matter what, it would never come back.

Yan Yuan finally exhaled slowly.

She knew that the arrow shot just now might be the only chance, so she pulled the bow with all her strength. At this moment, she felt that the muscles in her arms were beating, and her whole body seemed to be immersed in cold water.

"Yan Yuan!"

On the other side, Qiu Yu finally let go of his guard.

Chen Ling walked quickly to Yan Yuan's side.

Yan Yuan was still breathing slowly, her arms were naturally hanging down, looking a little depressed.

Chen Ling lowered his head and said in a low voice, "You're bleeding."

Yan Yuan followed Chen Ling's deep gaze, and sure enough, she saw a small pool of blood on the snow beside her at some point.

The blood came from the fingers of the hand she pulled the string. She hadn't shot arrows for a long time, and there were no calluses on her fingers. When she pulled the string with such force, the arrow string naturally cut through the soft fingertips.

But this is just a minor injury that doesn't matter.

Yan Yuan didn't care.

She turned to look at Princess Yuerong, and asked her: "Is there anything special about the princess?"

It is impossible for this royal hunting ground to have tigers and other ferocious beasts. Even if there were, they would have come over from the next mountain. They have not gone deep into the forest yet, and it is impossible for tigers to travel far to the periphery of the hunting ground to find a snack.

What's more, living people have never been the tiger's favorite taste.

So is there something special about her?
At this time, Princess Yuerong's face had lost any color. She crouched in the snow with her head in her arms, as if she didn't hear anything.

"……Princess?"

Yan Yuan approached tentatively.

Princess Yuerong seemed to have just come back to life.

She raised her head slowly, her eyes were empty and misty.

The next moment, a shrill scream broke through the silent forest:

"Ahhh-!!!"

"..."

Princess Yuerong was obviously emotionally broken, and no sound from outside could reach her ears.

Yan Yuan finally painfully recognized a fact:
Her winter hunting trip seemed to have come to an end.

……

After the hysterical scream, Princess Yuerong passed out, and after a while, her guards finally arrived after a long time, and took her back to the camp.

Under such circumstances, Yan Yuan naturally had no way to go deep into the forest alone.

She could only follow Princess Yuerong all the way back to the battalion commander, and after watching the finishers arrange the princess, she asked them where they were going just now, why they didn't stay by the princess's side, and let the princess fall into such a dangerous situation.

The guards hesitated to speak, and seemed to have struggled for a while before saying: "We just found the trace of a suspicious person outside the tent. The princess has ordered us to act urgently and give priority to guarding the tent."

Yan Yuan asked, "What suspicious person?"

The guards shook their heads: "I didn't catch it, but there was no major loss in the tent."

Yan Yuan looked at the guard suspiciously.

It's not easy for them to talk about this. Of course, she would not be stupid to ask them what is the most important loss, but she still couldn't help secretly guessing that Princess Yuerong can let the guards guard her despite her own safety. thing--

Could it be the blue city treasure map?

Yan Yuan quietly put a question mark in her heart.

She exited the tent and bumped into Chen Lingchen head-on.

At that time, there was still a dark cloud on Chen Ling's face, and when he ran into Yan Yuan, he turned sideways, and Luo Ziqiu, who was behind him, walked in front of Yan Yuan.

Luo Ziqiu said: "I heard that your mother was injured?"

Yan Yuan rubbed her fingers and said with a smile, "Small injury."

She followed Luo Ziqiu to the side of the carriage outside the tent, stretched out her fingers and let Luo Ziqiu apply the powder on the wound on her fingertips, while she secretly looked up at Chen Lingchen.

Yan Yuan was distracted, and didn't know what trick Luo Ziqiu used. Suddenly, a sharp pain came from her fingertips, and she instinctively called out: "...It hurts."

Luo Ziqiu said lightly: "There are some animal hairs in the wound, if you don't pick them out, they will rot in the future."

Yan Yuan: "..."

That must be tiger hair.

Just now she was worried, pulled the tiger paw and turned it over to make sure it was really dead.

Luo Ziqiu used a silver needle to pick out the tiger hair from the wound on his finger bit by bit.

Yan Yuan was not very afraid of pain at first, but she didn't know if it was because of her fingers connecting to her heart, the small wound was poked with by the silver needle, and she felt that her whole shoulder was about to tighten.

Chen Lingchen stood behind her, looked at her bent shoulders, and frowned fiercely.

"Luo Ziqiu."

Chen Ling's cold voice sounded.

"……Yes."

Yan Yuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Because Luo Ziqiu's movements were much slower.

But at the same time, his speed was also much slower, so the simple treatment of the wound turned into a long torture. When the dressing was finished, both she and Luo Ziqiu were sweating.

"Wei Chen retire."

Luo Ziqiu absconded in fear of crime with the medicine box on his back.

Yan Yuan also wanted to escape.

But she couldn't find a reason to run away.

She could only bite the bullet and ask Chen Lingshen to resign: "Chenqie...Chenqie wants to go and see the tiger."

Chen Ling frowned slightly, and after a long silence, he said, "Why did you take the risk just now?"

Just now?Shoot a tiger?
Yan Yuan hesitated and said: "If the minister and concubine didn't do anything just now, Princess Yuerong will die."

Chen Ling seemed to be holding back his anger and suppressed his breathing. Shen frowned and did not speak.

Yan Yuan said: "The concubine just hurt her hand, this is already the smallest price."

Chen Ling said coldly, "How stupid you are to know the danger and not control yourself."

Yan Yuan: "..."

Yan Yuan only felt that there was a string in her mind that was broken.

The stabbing pain in her hand was still there, and the anger in her chest was successfully ignited by Chen Lingchen's lifeless appearance. She stood up holding back the fire, and gritted her teeth at Chen Lingchen:

"I don't think I did anything wrong."

"The tiger's origin is unknown, and he stared at Princess Yuerong again. The person behind it must be her. Princess Yuerong is the princess who came to marry her. If I can't protect her, the situation at this time may already be difficult to deal with. "

"It's just a small adventure but in exchange for a stable relationship between the two countries, what's wrong?"

Yan Yuan looked at Chen Lingchen coldly, and said word by word: "You said it yourself, human life is inherently unequal."

The peace between Jin and Yan was hard-won. Now that the princess is on a mission to Yan, how can she explain what happened?What's more, she is not only an envoy to celebrate her birthday, but also a future princess.

Now that she only injured a few fingers, she gave him back an unscathed Princess Yuerong. What position and face does he have to put on such a lady-like face?
Yan Yuan was furious, and looked at Chen Lingchen aggressively.

Chen Ling lowered his head under her angry gaze, and after a long time, his voice sounded: "There will be no marriage."

Yan Yuan was still in a rage, and for a while, she didn't know what Chen Ling thought about him.

Chen Lingchen raised his head while she was silent, and looked into Yan Yuan's eyes with deep eyes: "You will not be the price either."

Yan Yuan was startled.

She was originally in a depressed mood and wanted to quarrel, and deliberately found fault, but now it seems that the quarrel can't start.

The atmosphere is also a little weirdly sticky.

Yan Yuan avoided her gaze: "I...I'm going to see the tiger."

Chen Ling was silent for a while, and then said in a low voice, "Yes."

Yan Yuan ran away as soon as she saw an amnesty.

At that time, the tiger had already been transported to the vicinity of her carriage convoy, and was guarded by Qiu Chen.

Yan Yuan looked around the tiger with great interest, and repeatedly confirmed the wounds on the tiger:
Chest, flanks, and eyes.

Both eyes of the tiger were pierced by small arrows, and the body of the arrow sank into its head. Even without the two arrows in the chest and abdomen, the tiger would surely die.

Amazing.

Yan Yuan looked at Qiu Yu appreciatively.

It was because the crossbow was not tied properly that he missed the shot before, right?
Unexpectedly, Qiu Yu was full of embarrassment.

"I……"

Qiu Yu's face turned pale, and suddenly he knelt down in front of Yan Yuan: "This subordinate dare not take credit for it! The arrow in the tiger's eye was not shot by this subordinate!"

Not Qiu Yu?

But the tiger's eyes are clearly the small arrows fired by the crossbow...

Yan Yuan squatted down suspiciously, pulled out the arrow from the tiger's eye with her uninjured hand, raised the small arrow and turned it towards the sun, and then froze.

It really wasn't the arrow on Qiu Yu's body.

The crossbow drawings given to Qiu Yu at the beginning were based on Jian Boying's special tool drawing. After receiving the drawings, old man Yan made many improvements to the crossbow's style.

And the arrow in her hand...

It turned out to be the original version of Bo Ying!

Yan Yuan looked at the small arrow in her hand, her heart beating wildly.

That's why it was shot in the woods just now...

Who will it be? !

Yan Yuan stood in front of the tiger for a while, then turned around and ran towards the tent where Princess Yuerong was.

She knew that this was not the best time and way, but she didn't want to think about it anymore.

She ran to the front of the tent in one breath, trying to break in regardless of etiquette.

"The princess is still taking a bath, please stop the empress!"

The guard at the entrance of the tent stubbornly stopped Yan Yuan.

"Get out of the way!"

"My lady, please stop!"

Yan Yuan's chest was full of depression, she clenched her fists and wanted to make a move.

Before that, a soft voice sounded in the tent:

"Let her in."

That was the voice of Princess Yuerong.

But it's not quite like it.

Princess Yuerong's voice was originally clear and hearty, but the voice in the tent was like sake under the moon and clouds among flowers, tactful and gentle.

　In the past two days, everyone has been controversial, so let's explain it in unison:
　　1. Why rewrite?
　　In the previous version, although there are gimmicks that everyone loves to see, the burden is not on the plot line. I think the quality is not good, so I rewrote it.

　　2. Taking back the acquaintance is just a dog!

　　There are only two chapters before and after the acquaintance, not to say that I plan to stuff a [-]-word book, don't worry, everyone will get acquainted immediately.

　　3. Hate female rivalry.

　　No, don't worry.

　　4. The author just procrastinates for the sake of making money, and treats the readers like a fool.

　　This kind of comment is the saddest when I see it. I originally wanted to ignore it, but after thinking about it carefully, those who came here are already loyal readers. I really should explain.

　　That’s right, each author cooperates with the platform in a different way. My manuscript fee is based on the “book”, agreed in advance, and has little to do with subscriptions, so there is no such thing as deliberately slowing down the plot in order to cheat more subscriptions. This matter (of course, better subscription means more people like it, which itself is the biggest spiritual motivation for me).Quite the contrary, the rewrite slowed me down towards the end and cost me days of work, which is the last thing I want to do if I don't want better quality content.

　　5. I understand everyone's uneasiness. Reading an article after school and work actually requires a considerable amount of rest time. It is really anxious to find that you are not satisfied at the end.I will try my best to write better, if I still can't satisfy everyone, it's... I'm TAT, I will study harder and practice more.
