Quick Wear: This Cannon Fodder is Delicate and Expensive

Chapter 283: Don’t Touch the Fox’s Tail (10)

Su Xiaoxiao raised her eyes, looked at Xuanyuan Wuhen, and said in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "I cannot interfere in the affairs of the Su family. I know that the emperor is upset, and I have been prepared."

Xuanyuan Wuhen was curious when he saw Su Xiaoxiao talking to him so confidently: "Oh? Does the Queen really have a solution?"

Su Xiaoxiao smiled: "Yes."

If there is any method, it is actually very simple. She arranged some people, and when the hunt is halfway through, they pretend to "assassinate" the emperor.

This would not only put an end to the hunting contest, but also create a fuse for people to speculate.

Since the emperor was assassinated, there must be someone among the officials with evil intentions.

As for who has that ability...

Most officials would only think of Su Cheng.

The old man could never have imagined that the daughter he raised would one day turn against him.

It would be a lie to say she wasn't nervous. After all, she didn't have enough hired assassins, and she didn't know if they could defeat the Royal Guards and successfully carry out the "assassination".

"Okay, if this is accomplished, I will grant the Queen one wish, okay?" Xuanyuan Wuhen did not ask any more questions because he knew that Su Xiaoxiao could not cause any trouble.

I thought the woman would happily agree, but Su Xiaoxiao just said calmly: "I have no requests. It is my blessing to be able to share the worries of the emperor."

Xuanyuan Wuhen smiled without saying anything, as if he was thinking about something.

After Su Xiaoxiao woke up from her serious illness, she seemed like a different person.

In the past, she liked to chase after him, liked to make a big fuss, and her eyes were always filled with love for him.

But now she looked calm and indifferent about everything, except for the love still faintly revealed in her eyes.

He couldn't see through her more and more.

He was sure that she still liked him, but what was she trying to do now?

Is she really indifferent? Or is she plotting something behind his back?

If it is really the latter, he will decide whether to keep her or not.

Two people sat in the sedan, each with their own thoughts.

……

Not long after, the group arrived at a relatively open woodland. Someone had already cleaned up the area and prepared a place for them to rest.

After the emperor and empress took their seats, some ministers followed suit.

"Your Majesty, the contestants are all ready. Shall we begin the competition?" Eunuch Li waved the whisk in his hand and said respectfully.

"Well, let's get started. The participating soldiers and officials' daughters were all fully equipped and ready to follow orders.

"The hunting competition is based on a points system: 50 points for a rabbit, 100 points for a deer, and 150 points for a wild boar. The competition lasts for a quarter of an hour, and the one with the most points wins. The referee will follow and report the results in real time. If there is cheating, the result will be cancelled..."

After Eunuch Li introduced the rules, the competition officially began with the sound of a bell.

As for hunting, indoor hunting is fine, as you can see the whole game, but hunting outdoors is a bit boring if you don’t do it by yourself.

After all, the contestants were running around, while the emperor’s officials just sat in the starting area and listened to the referee’s reports.

Almost at the moment the bell rang, the horses galloped, raising clouds of dust, and soon, the contestants entered various parts of the forest and began hunting.

Xuanyuan Wuhen glanced around and found that Eunuch Li had retreated to the side of Su Cheng.

The place was noisy and I could only hear the two people talking and laughing, but I couldn't hear anything.

He withdrew his gaze and considerately poured a cup of tea for Su Xiaoxiao.

Su Xiaoxiao couldn't help but sneer when she saw that the two of them were being so open and aboveboard.

Su Yi picked up the water cup and drank it all. He looked at Xuanyuan Wuhen secretly. Seeing that he was no longer looking at him, he spoke in a low voice:

"Old Li, have you prepared everything I asked you to do? If Momo enters the palace this time... you will definitely reward her."

Eunuch Li raised his whisk and covered his lips slightly: "Don't worry, Master Su, I have already asked people to prepare it. This champion... naturally belongs to our young lady."

"I know. Stay away from me. Are you afraid that others won't know by standing so close to me?" Su Yi lowered his voice and picked up a glass of water and drank it all.

Eunuch Li smiled knowingly, added some fruit to his bowl, and returned to Xuanyuan Wuhen.

Xuanyuan Wuhen saw someone coming over and asked softly, "Eunuch was talking and laughing with Lord Su just now, but did you encounter anything interesting? Why don't you tell us about it... Let the Queen and I be happy too?"

"Your Majesty, I have just spoken to Lord Su about the Second Miss Su. She is truly an interesting and talented woman. Lord Su told me a few interesting stories about the Second Miss Su's childhood, and that's all." Eunuch Li said with his head down, his face calm and his heart calm.

Xuanyuan Wuhen smiled faintly and did not expose her: "Really? It seems that this Second Miss Su is indeed a talented person. It has only been a short while, and she has received frequent reports of successful hunting."

"Yes, Your Majesty. Second Miss Su is both talented and martial, and she is both beautiful and talented. If she wins the championship, Your Majesty will..." Eunuch Li took the opportunity to speak, but was interrupted by Su Xiaoxiao.

"Hiss, Your Majesty, I suddenly have a headache."

"But isn't this uncomfortable?" Xuanyuan Wuhen didn't want to waste time talking to Eunuch Li, and Su Xiaoxiao's help was exactly what he wanted.

The man's slender and powerful fingers gently pressed her head. A faint scent of ambergris came with the wind, refreshing her heart and making her dazed for a moment.

As far as she could remember, he had never done anything intimate to her, but it turned out that his hands... were as warm as she had imagined.

If only time... could stay a little longer.

"Is it here?" Xuanyuan Wuhen asked softly.

"Well, Your Majesty, please press more here...it hurts a lot."

Eunuch Li was interrupted. Seeing the two people being intimate, he said no more and just gave Su Yi a look.

……

"Xiaojiu! Xiaojiu! Stop playing hide-and-seek. We should go back."

The three of Shi Qi came out to play together, catching fish and playing in the stream, they were having a great time.

Lu Ziqi had been very stable, with no unexpected changes, but Xiaojiu suddenly disappeared.

"Zi Qi, don't be anxious. I just saw him chasing a rabbit. He should be running over there." Shi Qi said, pointing deep into the forest.

She was naturally not worried because Tutu had already told her that there was a royal hunt here today.

If nothing unexpected happens, Xiaojiu will enter the hunting ground by accident.

Don't ask her how she knew it, she asked because of the plot effect.

Anyway, the world forces Lu Ziqi and Su Xiaoxiao to meet.

"Young Master, then shall we...search separately?" Lu Ziqi was very anxious and panicked.

Although they could sense the breath of their own people, they had played in the stream not long ago and the breath in the forest was mixed, so he had no way of telling the direction in which Xiaojiu had disappeared.

"This forest is too big, I will get lost alone. Ziqi... I will go with you. Don't worry, I roughly know where Xiaojiu is." Shi Qi comforted Lu Ziqi.

Lu Ziqi was a little confused.

She is lost...but knows where Xiaojiu is?

It feels like...something is weird.

But he had no choice now and could only believe Shi Qi's words temporarily.

So, he followed Shi Qi into the depths of the forest.
