Chapter 375
After hearing Shen Yuan's words, Lin Luo seemed to have been stimulated by something, his eyes stared straight, and he didn't even ask Shen Yuan to leave the room.

See... Your Majesty?
He usually only dared to scold the tyrant Chu Xu in a place where no one was around, but now that he met the king of Nanjiang face to face, would he still be ordered to leave the palace?

……

A Zhe left someone to watch the progress of the case in the government office, and finally after a day of follow-up, he discovered an unexpected thing.

"Princess Chuxiu went to the government office today. Afterwards, our people went to inquire about it. Princess Chuxiu told the government office not to investigate this case again. She said that the four gangsters were pests in Fengzhou in the first place, and it was just right for someone to get rid of them." A Zhe reported the matter to Shen Yuan.

Shen Yuan was stunned for a while, but she never thought that Chu Xiu could be involved in this matter.

"She wants to calm things down, so it's probably her or her subordinates who did it." Shen Yuan thought for a while, and then ordered, "I'll go to the government office to close the case tomorrow, and just push a scapegoat. Take it all from Luoer."

"Yes." Ah Zhe took the order to retreat.

In the next few days, both the Lin family and the Duan family were making preparations for entering the palace, and Lin Luo was so frightened that he had nightmares for several days, and his mind was in a trance.

Shen Yuan also didn't expect that a single sentence could scare Lin Luo like this. She usually sees him scolding Chu Xu openly and silently, and thinks how tough he is.

"It's okay. If the king asks about business matters, you can say that the person who makes the final decision is your father, and it has nothing to do with you." Shen Yuan comforted Lin Luo. Lin Luo is in a bad mood now. Before entering the palace, he was tossing like this, "Don't be so afraid, you are the young master of the Lin family, even in front of the king of Nanjiang, you can't be manipulated by him at will."

Lin Luo nodded vigorously, then dragged his servant to practice courage, and asked A Zhe to go with him.

Shen Yuan then went to Qiudie's place, Cui'e residence was still as lively as ever, with people coming and going in an endless stream.

Qiu Die took Shen Yuan to her room, and Qiu Die fetched water to wipe Shen Yuan's face. After wiping off the powder on her face, the bruises under her eyes could not be covered.

"Master, I haven't rested for a few days. Take good care of your body. If there are too many things, you can leave it to your subordinates to solve." Qiu Die has always liked Shen Yuan's face, seeing how she was ruined by Shen Yuan. , don't mention how distressed.

"It's just that I can't sleep." Shen Yuan took off her coat, and threw herself on Qiudie's bed with ease.

Qiu Die went to change the spice for calming the nerves, and went to remove Shen Yuan's hair bun, "Is your head hurting again?"

"Well, there's no way around it. When I think of seeing Wei Yan in the palace, how can I calm down." The scar on the palm of her left hand seemed to still be hot, and the smile on the corner of Shen Yuan's lips was a little cold.

Qiudie is a little worried about Shen Yuan's current state. Shen Yuan's reason has always been tense, and the whole person is wandering between normal and crazy, but there is always a clear boundary between normal and crazy. Wei Yan.

"I'm fine, I'll sleep for an hour, wake me up later." Perhaps because of the soothing incense, Shen Yuan soon became tired.

Qiu Die waited for Shen Yuan to fall asleep, then helped her take off her shoes and socks, and let her rest on the bed for a while.

……

Southern Border Palace, shooting range.

Chu Xiu sat on a chair covered with tiger skins, and looked at the other two men with unfriendly expressions. They were the two patriarchs of the southern Xinjiang tribe. Less secretive hands and feet.

"Oh, Lord Qi and Lord Ming want to compete with this princess in archery. If you win, this princess will play with you for a day?" Chu Xiu asked calmly.

Lord Qi and Lord Ming are not coveting Chu Xiu's beauty, but they value her identity and Chu Xu's attitude towards her, "Yes, so I wonder if the princess can give me a chance?"

Chu Xiu thought to herself, if she took off the human skin mask now, she would not believe that these two people would still have the courage to miss her.

Chu Xiu pinched her fingertips, which were still covered with thin calluses, which were left by her years of using swords and weapons.

"It's okay to try archery, but this princess doesn't want to hurt her hand. Besides, you two bullied a woman. Even if you win, it would be disgraceful to say it."

"The princess means..."

"I will send someone to compete with you. If you win him, the princess of Japan will accompany you for a day. But, if you lose..." Chu Xiu got up from the chair and walked to the high platform lazily In front of the railing, he looked at the criminal who was pulled out as a target in the shooting range, and pointed, "If you lose, please ask the two adults to come out and play with them."

What Chu Xiu said was playing around, was to let them, like these criminals, go down as moving targets for the archers on the high platform to tease.

When Lord Qi and Lord Ming heard Chu Xiu's request, their faces darkened. They were shouting arrogantly just now, but now they hesitated and fell silent.

Chu Xiu sneered, and tucked away the long hair that fell to the side of her face, her eyes were full of sarcasm, "Why, the two adults can't afford it?"

"Who says you can't afford it? Since the princess said so, how dare you, as a courtier, refuse to do so!"

This was what Chu Xiu was waiting for. She whispered something to the maid next to her, and then the maid ran out quickly.

After a while, a dark red figure stepped onto the high platform, and the expressions of Lord Qi and Lord Ming changed a few times, "Chu Yan?"

Chu Xiu smiled and said, "The competition can begin, my lords."

The waiter at the back brought up the bow and arrow, but Lord Qi and Lord Ming refused to accept it for a long time. They never thought that Chu Xiu could bring Chu Yan up. You must know that Chu Yan has always been by Chu Xu's side, never left.

"Why, no more competitions? If you don't compare, it will be considered that you have surrendered."

Lord Qi and Lord Ming hesitated for a while, and then asked cautiously: "Are the rules still the same?"

Chu Xiu was very sure of Wei Yan's archery skills, so she immediately boasted, "Of course it has to change, otherwise you will say that the princess is cheating. So from now on, the rule becomes that if the sum of the two of you hits is better than Chu Xiu's If one person shoots more shots, this princess will judge you to win."

Lord Qi and Lord Ming both heaved a sigh of relief. They both felt that the princess Chu Xiu was stupid. How could it be possible that the number of hits by two people could not be equal to that of one person.

"Since the princess knelt down like this, I dare not disobey."

"Then let's start." Following Chu Xiu's order, the three stood on the archery positions behind the railing, getting ready.

Chu Xiu turned her head to look at the little sisters hiding in the corner who were carefully peeping here, and said a little funnyly, "What are you doing hiding so far away? It's not that you are asked to play."

Yue Qu is the daughter of Yue Zhen, and she has a relatively close relationship with Chu Xiu. She moved to Chu Xiu's side in small steps, and glanced at Wei Yan from time to time, "Princess, does General Chu Yan have a sweetheart?"
