After giving her contraceptives, she went mad, criticizing the prince for turning white-haired overn

"I've made up my mind. As soon as the spring hunt is over, I'll bring my mother to the Shen family to propose marriage."

Su Mingfeng laughed heartily and openly, but Shen Ning's heart clenched.

"Young Master, we are not suitable for each other."

"If I had met you sooner, and you had also been interested in me, perhaps in the future... the young marquis would have been a good husband."

"But now, many things are tangled up, and I'm afraid that you and I... will ultimately not be able to reach the same destination."

The smile on Su Mingfeng's face faded.

Just now, in the testing field, in front of the Emperor, she clearly said that she was willing to marry him.

How could things have changed so quickly?

"Shen Ning, has something happened?"

"Is it because of Prince Chen? Or because of the rumors circulating in Yanjing?"

Shen Ning shook her head: "No."

"It's because of myself."

"Young Master, please don't follow me anymore. In the future... I will explain everything to you."

After the girl finished speaking, she stopped looking at him, pulled on the reins, and spurred her horse into the depths of the dense forest.

They hadn't gone far when a whooshing sound suddenly rang out.

A long arrow shot out from the shadows, heading straight for Su Mingfeng.

"Young Master!"

Shen Ning exclaimed in surprise.

In an instant, Su Mingfeng moved nimbly to the side, and the arrow grazed his sleeve and flew into the depths of the dense forest.

"Who goes there? How dare you attempt an assassination in the Royal Hunting Grounds!" Su Mingfeng shouted sternly.

Shen Ning frowned, looking towards the direction from which the arrows had come.

A black figure flashed past in the dense forest.

The dark figure wore an iron brace on its right wrist.

She recognized the armor.

It belongs to Mo Yuwei.

Why did Mo Yuwei want to kill Su Mingfeng?

Shen Ning's heart skipped a beat, and she immediately turned her horse around and chased after the direction in which the man in black had disappeared.

"Shen Ning!"

Where are you going?

"How could a young woman like you risk your life alone!"

Su Mingfeng was extremely worried.

Shen Ning said, "Young Marquis, let's separate!"

"Otherwise, your life will be in danger. Those people are after me!"

"No way! How could I leave you alone in this dense forest!"

"This is the royal hunting grounds, heavily guarded. Young Marquis, you need not worry," Shen Ning said firmly.

"Remember, don't follow me!"

Before she finished speaking, she spurred her horse into the depths of the dense forest.

Just as Su Mingfeng was about to give chase, a figure blocked his way.

It is the Prince of Chen.

"The heir of the Su family." Prince Chen sat upright on his horse, his tone calm.

"Young Master Su is truly infatuated with Miss Shen."

Su Mingfeng: "Your Highness Prince Chen, don't you also want to marry her?"

"It's just a pity that Miss Shen chose me."

Upon hearing this, Prince Chen sneered, "Young Master Su thinks too highly of himself."

He slowly rode his horse to Su Mingfeng's side.

She said softly, "This Second Miss Shen has long been targeted. Young Master Su, would you like to know... who that man is?"

Su Mingfeng's heart tightened, and he looked at Prince Chen in disbelief.

"Your Highness, please speak frankly about what you wish to say."

Prince Chen's lips curled into a smile: "Does Young Master Su know whose archery technique the Second Miss Shen used in today's assessment is commonly employed?"

Su Mingfeng frowned.

"Therefore, you and I have both lost."

"Besides, neither of us can afford to offend that man."

After saying this, Prince Chen flicked his whip and turned to leave.

Su Mingfeng stood frozen in place, his mind in turmoil.

"Is Miss Shen's archery skill... not the legendary 'hitting a willow leaf from a hundred paces'?"

"Could it be that she already has someone she likes?"

-

On the other side, Shen Ning spurred her horse and followed the man in black all the way to the south side of the dense forest.

The opponent moved with incredible speed, disappearing from her sight in just a few leaps.

She could only continue cautiously into the depths of the dense forest.

Just as we rounded a narrow path, we suddenly heard voices coming from the north.

One of the middle-aged men's voices was greasy and lewd.

"Now that General Shen is far away in the borderlands, his two daughters do indeed possess the charm of Lady Ye, the most beautiful woman in the capital back in the day..."

"What does Your Highness mean?" another voice asked respectfully.

The middle-aged man chuckled maliciously.

"I'm really curious what it'll be like to have the daughter of this most beautiful woman."

"If we could get our hands on it,..."

As the man spoke, he lewdly fiddled with the prayer beads in his hand.

Shen Ning felt a sudden chill run down her spine, a wave of nausea washed over her, and she trembled all over as her pupils suddenly contracted.

Hold your breath and gaze intently.

There stood a man, about forty or fifty years old, dressed in a brown fine robe, hunched over.

His left cheek was covered by half a black mask, his right eye was cloudy like a dead fish, and when he laughed, his face was full of wrinkles squeezed together, making him extremely lewd.

It is the Wing King.

The Empress Dowager's adopted son.

That King Ming was old and ugly, and had many wives and concubines.

It is rumored that none of the girls who entered the Ming Prince's mansion lived past the age of twenty.

It is said that his favorite thing to do was to use the heads of young girls as wine bowls.

Half of the girls in the mansion were sold to black market brothels by him to make money for him.

This Prince Ming was born to Consort Shu, who was of lowly status, and Prince Ming had no prestige among the princes.

In an attempt to curry favor with the Empress Dowager, he took a knife for her, resulting in the loss of one eye.

The Empress Dowager remembered that he had taken a knife for her, and from then on treated him like her own son, indulging him.

His position in Yanjing is unshakeable by anyone except Xie Linyuan and the current emperor.

Shen Ning's breathing became labored, her eyes reddened, and she dared not move an inch.

She only rode away quickly after the footsteps of the King and his guards had completely faded into the distance.

Are she and her sister now being targeted by bad guys?

Now that her father is gone, she must find a way to protect Wan'er and herself.

We must not let it fall into the hands of that devil.

Shen Ning drove at high speed for a long time before she calmed down.

Now, the only option is to strike first.

After calming down for a long time, she continued walking forward.

Before long, the sound of horses' hooves and voices could be heard from ahead.

It was Yu Jingshu and Prince Chen.

Prince Chen sat upright on his horse, suddenly drew the bowstring, and a long arrow shot straight towards a snow goose in front of him.

Yu Jingshu quickly dismounted, picked up the snow goose that Prince Chen had shot, and handed it to him.

She tilted her head back and looked at the tall man.

"Your Highness need not dismount; Jing Shu will pick it up for you."

Prince Chen raised an eyebrow slightly, his sharp eyes sweeping over her small face.

Yu Jingshu was fifteen years old, the same age as Shen Ning.

Although her eyebrows and eyes resembled Shen Rou's, she was younger and more delicate than Shen Rou.

The sudden show of hospitality made Prince Chen sneer inwardly.

She really is a vain woman.

"I thank Miss Yu."

After taking the snow goose from Yu Jingshu's hand, Prince Chen patted his horse's back and rode forward.

He had only walked a short distance when he turned around and saw the girl in the purple fox fur cloak staring at him intently.

"Isn't Miss Yu coming along?"

Yu Jingshu withdrew her gaze, her cheeks slightly flushed.

"it is good."

She mounted her horse, pulled on the reins, and followed behind Prince Chen.

"Your Highness, you are in love with Cousin Ning, aren't you?"

Seeing that Prince Chen did not reply, Yu Jingshu bit her thin lips lightly.

"I apologize for my intrusion; I shouldn't have asked such a question."

Prince Chen sneered, "What good would it do to ask?"

"I do indeed have my eye on her."

"You are her cousin, why don't you do something for me?"

As he spoke, he slowly pulled on the reins and moved closer to Yu Jingshu.

Shen Ning hid in the shadows and had no idea what the two of them were talking about.

Anyway, it's not good.

She held the reins tightly, her eyes fixed on the two of them, and watched as Prince Chen and Yu Jingshu disappeared into the dense forest.

Looking in the direction the two left, it was to the southwest of this dense forest.

She remembered that there was a sinkhole in the southwest of this dense forest.

If someone falls in, it will be difficult for them to get out; they will need to be rescued by people outside.

It seems he was plotting against her.

Suddenly, the sound of horses' hooves came from behind.

Shen Ning turned around and saw Su Mingfeng, dressed in red, riding towards her.

"Shen Ning".

"Young Master, what brings you here?"

Su Mingfeng smiled and said, "I was worried about you, so I came looking for you."

Shen Ning: "Thank you, Young Marquis."

Shen Ning smiled and looked at Su Mingfeng.

"Young Master, how about we pull off a big heist?"

Su Mingfeng raised an eyebrow slightly, his gaze falling on the little girl's fair face.

"Miss Shen Er is thinking..."

Shen Ning spurred her horse closer to him and whispered, "There's a huge pit in the southwest of the dense forest."

"Young Master, what do you think would happen if someone fell in?"
