Chapter 398: Is it based on shamelessness?
Everyone could see from afar that Shen Jingyu's face was covered with large red bumps, which were connected into one piece and could not be covered no matter how hard she tried.
Qin Xuerong and Shen Jingchuan and their group did not travel with them because they were old, but not long after, Shen Jingan heard the news and rushed over.
Seeing the girl with disheveled hair and covered in dust and mud from afar, he was stunned.
He swallowed and said subconsciously: "Sister!"
Unfortunately, no one responded. Instead, many people turned their heads to look at him. Shen Jing'an's pupils constricted. He wanted to save people, but he didn't know how to do it.
Big sister…Big sister is finished!
With so many hornets, my eldest sister’s position as the eighth prince’s consort is probably hopeless!
Seeing that the excitement was almost over, Shen Shuyi said in a deep voice: "Pick up wet leaves and dry grass, light a fire, and follow the wind direction. Wasps are afraid of smoke."
After a few people were stunned for a moment, Zhao Baokun and Zhao Baopeng were the first to dismount and immediately picked up dead grass and leaves. Seeing this, several teams around them also came to their senses and helped.
After a while, several people found the right direction and lit it.
The thick smoke soon drifted out, and someone immediately shouted to Shen Jingyu: "Don't hide, stand in the direction of the smoke! Wasps are afraid of smoke!"
Shen Jingyu's consciousness was already confused at this moment, and her whole body was in unbearable pain, especially her scalp and face were burning.
She knew that she was finished... She was afraid that she would never get that position...
The hornets, affected by the thick smoke, seemed a little confused. They fluttered around Shen Jingyu. Soon, a group of black shadows gradually dispersed, and Shen Jingyu fell into a coma.
When everyone saw this from afar, they couldn't help but shudder. They felt that the woman's pretty face was now swollen like a steamed bun and was difficult to look at directly.
Shen Shuyi's eyes were clear and there was no trace of sympathy in them.
I was just wondering, what would my stepmother and the Qin family think when they knew Shen Jingyu had ended up like this?
At this moment, a slightly resentful voice sounded beside Shen Shuyi: "Ms. Shen, have you forgotten something?"
Shen Shuyi turned around and saw Xie Jingchi wearing a navy blue brocade robe, holding a hot water bottle in both hands. His face was as white as jade. He looked coldly at Shen Jingyu in the field and spoke slowly.
Shen Shuyi was puzzled: "What does Mr. Xie mean?"
Xie Jingchi said slowly, "That day, Miss Shen said that she would go with me on the day of the competition. I waited for a long time, but I didn't expect Miss Shen to abandon me."
Shen Shuyi: ???
How come she didn't know before that Lord Xie, who seemed cold and deep, could be so sarcastic.
But traveling together?
It seemed to be the case... She was worried that a smart man like Xie Jingchi died too early.
After he finished speaking, seeing that Shen Shuyi remained silent for a long time, Xie Jingchi withdrew his gaze and cast a deep gaze on Shen Shuyi, as if waiting for an answer.
Shen Shuyi: "..."
"I think Sir Xie has his own destination. After all, I am not good at fighting and I am afraid I can't help Sir Xie."
What I mean is, as a man, you can't rely on a woman like me for protection, right?
Xie Jingchi sneered, his narrow and long phoenix eyes became a little bit colder, and he said, "Miss Shen really knows what it means to cross the river and then burn the bridge."
"Your Majesty ordered me to preside over the case of the assassin from Luo State. It just so happened that a black bug appeared in the Queen Mother's prayer wheel. Miss Shen, where do you think the black bug came from? Why did it appear in the tent of the Third Prince's wife?"
When Shen Shuyi met Xie Jingchi's cold eyes, he felt a throbbing pain in his temples.
Then he said, "Shuyi is not clear about the case, but the team Shuyi belongs to has always kept a place for Master Xie. If Master Xie doesn't mind, he can keep us company and kill time."
Xie Jingchi sneered, "How can it be boring to be with Miss Shen?"
Shen Shuyi had no expression on his face. Did this person take Hedinghong? Why is his speech so choking...
*
Shen Jingyu was given some emergency medicine by the accompanying imperial physician and was hurriedly sent back to the tent.
Xiao Yuncheng and others who were stung by hornets but whose wounds were not too serious had their wounds carefully treated by imperial doctors.
Although Shen Shuyi really wanted to go back and see the expressions of Qin Xuerong and the Qin family, he thought that since he had taken up the Zhao Baokun brothers' spots to participate in the competition, it would be bad to just leave.
The crowd gradually dispersed, Shen Jingzhen was still a little absent-minded, but after the fear and uneasiness, she felt an indescribable joy in her heart.
Since my elder sister can't marry into the royal family, can I marry Brother Feng?
I'm sorry, sister. When I marry into the Feng family and when Brother Feng fights for an imperial decree for me in the future, I will definitely compensate you.
Lou Yulan disguised herself better and always looked worried.
Perhaps the only one who is really worried is Shen Jingan.
Ever since Shen Jing'an was humiliated by Chai Bin and suffered a lot at the hands of the Third Prince's party, he has been extremely eager for the marriage between Shen Jingyu and Xiao Yuncheng to be successful.
In this way, with the support of the Eighth Prince, he can legitimately deal with Xiao Heyu's party for the Eighth Prince, and even if something happens, there will always be someone to support him.
But now, my elder sister's face...
Shen Jing'an didn't know whether Shen Jingyu's face could be cured. He only knew that if her face was ruined, she would have no hope of marrying into the royal family.
Even if that face can be cured, how much time will the Eighth Prince have to wait for her?
Wait for her face to recover?
For a moment, Shen Jing'an felt indescribably lost, as if he had just stepped into the door of wealth and fame, but was suddenly kicked out by someone.
And next year's autumn exam...
If he had the Eighth Prince's support, his chances of winning the Autumn Examination would be much higher.
But now, it seems that I have to rely on myself for everything.
*
The crowd dispersed, as if what had just happened was just an insignificant episode, and people focused on hunting again.
After all, Daqian holds the Autumn Hunt every year to give young generals some opportunities. It is not like a parade ground, but it is better than a parade ground.
Shen Shuyi followed the team of Zhao Baokun and Zhao Baopeng. Although he was not good at hunting, he was very patient and started to learn seriously from the two brothers.
After mastering the basic skills, Shen Shuyi dismounted and started practicing.
After all, she had no basic skills, and it was too difficult to draw the bow and shoot arrows while riding on horseback. She would most likely fall off the horse.
"Finally, there's something my cousin doesn't know how to do." Zhao Baokun said as he taught Shen Shuyi.
Seeing him shoot another pheasant, Shen Shuyi couldn't help but laugh and said, "I'm not a god, so of course there are things I can't do. Besides, even Master Xie can't do it, let alone me."
Xie Jingchi raised his eyes to look at her. Not sure if it was because she was with someone she trusted, or because she was in the mountains, the girl seemed more lively and less aloof than usual.
Xie Jingchi chuckled and said slowly: "I am powerless, Miss Shen, please study hard. If I encounter danger, I will still rely on Miss Shen to save me."
Shen Shuyi: "..."
This man is so much taller than her, how could he say such shameless words?
Could it be that Xie Jingchi was able to live so long in his previous life because he was shameless?
