Chapter 160: Not Returning

"Little vixen." Yibin was filled with anger and cursed in her heart.

"Huh?" After a moment, the emperor came to his senses, and when he looked back, there was no trace of Wei Ning'er and others.

"Wu Shulai, where are the ladies?" The emperor pushed Shu Bin away without leaving a trace, looked at Wu Shulai, and said with a slight frown.

"Your Majesty, we are heading east!" Wu Shulai responded immediately.

The emperor nodded slightly, and then said to Concubine Shu next to him: "Sit down!"

"Yes!" Shu Bin took the tea cup from the emperor's hand with some resentment and handed it to Wu Shulai. Just as she was about to sit next to the emperor, Wu Shulai said respectfully: "Empress Shu Bin, your seat is here, please follow me.

!”

"Your Majesty!" Concubine Shu glared at Wu Shulai, then turned back to look at the Emperor, and said softly: "Your Majesty, I want to accompany you!"

The emperor heard this, but did not even look back. Shu Bi knew that she was bored, so she had to return to her original seat, which was a bit far away from the emperor.

As for Wei Ning'er and others, they started hunting after entering the small forest. She and Jia Fei were a little unfamiliar with riding and shooting, so the two of them didn't get much at first, but they got a little better later.

Hunting on horseback is very tiring. It was getting late and everyone was getting tired. Wei Ning'er gently wiped the sweat on her face, looked at Concubine Jia, and said with a smile: "Sister Concubine Jia, it's getting late, let's go back!"

"

"That's fine!" Concubine Jia, who was also extremely tired, responded with a heavy breath, then rode back.

Concubine Xian and the guards were waiting for them not far away.

"The two sisters have gained a lot today, which is really enviable to me. Mu Yun, please bring the water bags to the two ladies quickly!" Concubine Xian saw that they were sweating profusely, so she guessed that they must be thirsty at this moment.

"Thank you for your kindness, my concubine. Because of the hot weather, I have been accustomed to drinking mint water made by Wanqing in recent days!" Concubine Jia said with a smile.

"Empress!" Wanqing presented the water bag in her hand at the right moment.

Wei Ning'er took the water bag from Mu Yun's hand, and Bingruo beside her couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

"My concubine is not afraid that I will poison the water!" Concubine Xian said with a smile just after Wei Ning'er took a sip.

"Poison?" Wei Ning'er pretended to be surprised and looked at Concubine Xian. After a moment, she half-smiled and said, "It would be a blessing if I could drink the poison administered by the empress herself!"

"My sister is really good at joking. I don't have the guts!" Concubine Xian had a slightly unnatural look on her face. If she could have poisoned her, she would have done it long ago.

"Two sisters, it's getting late. The sun is going down soon. The Eight Banners soldiers who were hunting are returning one after another. Let's go back too, so as not to worry the emperor!" Wei Ning'er handed the water bag in her hand to the person next to her.

Bingruo immediately smiled.

"Let's go!" Concubine Jia nodded slightly.

Concubine Xian said: "The two sisters each shot a deer and two sheep today. There is no winner!"

Concubine Jia frowned slightly when she heard this, and then said: "I see there is prey not far ahead, my concubine, can you please go back in a while?"

"But it's according to your Majesty's orders!" Wei Ning'er also saw sheep and deer running in the forest.

"It's limited to a quarter of an hour. If we get nothing, we will come back immediately! Then ask my sister to order someone to blow the horn!" Concubine Jia had a plan in mind. If she won this time, she might be able to ask for a favor.

As a reward, the emperor allowed the fourth elder brother to stay with her for a longer period of time. The fourth elder brother Yongxuan is now six years old. According to the ancestral rules, it is time to go to the elder brother's place to live with other elder brothers.

However, the eldest brother and the three elder brothers are all grown up, but Yongxuan is only half a child. Concubine Jia is afraid that he will be bullied, so she always feels uneasy.

"Well, you two sisters, please be careful. I will ask people to watch the clock and blow the horn after a quarter of an hour!" Concubine Xian said with a smile.

Although Wei Ning'er didn't know what Concubine Jia had in mind, she could tell that Concubine Jia really wanted to win and didn't want to compete with her, so she made up her mind and just dealt with it casually.

Just after they chased into the forest, Wei Ning'er saw Concubine Jia drawing her bow and chasing a sheep in front of her. She was just pretending to chase after her.

At this moment, a sika deer suddenly sprung out. A joyful light flashed in Jia Fei's eyes, and she immediately turned her horse's head and chased after it.

Wei Ning'er frowned slightly, and was thinking about whether to chase Concubine Jia or the sheep in front of her, but she suddenly realized that there was danger approaching. She tilted her head almost subconsciously, and there was a harsh sound of breaking through the air in her ears.

The swift arrow almost grazed her face. Although it did not hurt her, it made her break out in a cold sweat.

But before she could figure out the situation around her, another arrow shot over. The direction of the arrow happened to be where she and Concubine Jia had entered the forest just now. Wei Ning'er's heart sank, and she was about to see what happened, and unexpectedly

The arrows came one after another, and she rode her horse to chase Concubine Jia in front of her.

At the entrance of the forest, Concubine Xian handed the bow and arrow in her hand to Mu Yun beside her and said with a smile: "It's a pity. If I had been more skilled just now, I'm afraid my concubine's little face would be ruined. However, in this way, they

I’m afraid I’ll keep chasing the sika deer deep into the forest!”

"Yes, your Majesty's archery skills are really superb!" Mu Yun said respectfully.

"Don't let others know that I know how to shoot arrows. Mu Yun, get rid of the bows and arrows, and let's go out!" Concubine Xian ordered.

"Yes!" Mu Yun immediately threw his bow and arrow into the grass, rode his horse and followed Concubine Xian out.

"My Lady, have you seen our Lady?" Wanqing asked worriedly when she saw Concubine Xian and others coming out of the forest.

"I just took a look and didn't see them. Maybe they went deep into the forest and I couldn't see clearly!" Concubine Xian said with a smile.

"This..." Bingruo's face was full of worry. Not long after the young master and Concubine Jia entered the dense forest, Concubine Xian said she wanted to take a look, but now she said she didn't see anyone. She was really surprised.

in a hurry.

Mulan Paddock is the royal hunting ground, and the animals in it are relatively docile prey. There will be no danger, but if you don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the worst.

"Your Majesty, it's quarter of an hour!" Mu Yun said respectfully beside Concubine Xian.

"Well, order someone to blow the horn and call them back!" Concubine Xian had a smile on her face, but her heart was cold. This time... they may never want to come back.

"Yes!" Mu Yun winked at the guard beside him, and the guard immediately blew the horn.

Since the soldiers of the Eight Banners who had gone out to hunt had already returned to camp, the sky was gradually getting dark. The melodious sound of the horns spread far away, but all around could be heard the rustling of leaves and grass in the wind, which made people feel a little depressed.

"Why hasn't the little master come back yet?" After a while, Bingruo didn't hear the sound of horse hooves, and couldn't help but lose her temper.
