My Highness Hears My Thoughts, And Still Plays Along
Chapter 330 - 315: You Want to See Him? Are You Even Worthy?
CHAPTER 330: CHAPTER 315: YOU WANT TO SEE HIM? ARE YOU EVEN WORTHY?
Especially Prince Rui, he even suspected whether the woman in front of him was mad?!
She actually dared to challenge him?!
She was so arrogant?!
And not only did she challenge him, she dared to belittle him like this!!!
What does it mean that she hasn’t even learned a ten-thousandth of Nangong Mo’s skills, yet she can still match him?!
Could it be that he can’t even compare to a ten-thousandth of Nangong Mo?!
Is he not as good as a cripple?!
This damned crazy woman!
Prince Rui felt a mix of shame and anger, his hand hidden within his sleeve clenched into a fist, but before he could burst out, someone had already started laughing.
"Oh my God! She’s going to challenge Prince Rui?! She’s actually going to compete in archery with him?! Did I hear that right?"
"I don’t know whether to laugh at her ignorance? Or to admire her courage?"
"If ignorance is a crime, then, Jade Emperor, please forgive her!"
"Hahahaha! Yes, yes! Anyway, she’s just eager to protect her husband! They can’t let Prince Qin drag his sick body to the competition, right?"
"Even though she might not even be able to draw a bow, at least she’s healthy! Look at those bright eyes!"
"Why not give her a chance, Prince Rui?"
"Hahahaha..."
Amidst the laughter, the loudest and most joyful was those who were ’unaccustomed to the local water and soil’ yesterday!
Especially Hao Duoyu, who clutched his belly laughing, swaying so much he couldn’t straighten his back, "Oh dear me! This is the funniest joke I’ve heard all year..."
Suddenly, his voice stopped abruptly, his pupils slightly contracted, staring in shock at the front.
Yun Ran was holding a crossbow, an arrow on the string, with the arrowhead pointed at Hao Duoyu’s head.
If she let go, or accidentally made a mistake, that arrow would shoot out and pierce his head.
Hao Duoyu was so scared that his voice trembled, "Wh-what are you trying to do?"
Those around also stopped laughing and began to scold Yun Ran.
"Lin Wanyue, how dare you be so presumptuous in front of the Prince! Put down the bow and arrow immediately!"
Yun Ran moved slightly, the arrowhead aimed at the speaker, scaring him to step back immediately, feeling both angry and ashamed, yet not daring to provoke her further.
Yesterday, even General Lin got shot by an arrow, and nothing came of it, and the Crown Prince for some reason turned a blind eye! Isn’t this tacit consent?
This insane woman, relying on Nangong Mo backing her up, might really dare to shoot.
The arrow in Yun Ran’s hand slowly swept across the crowd, as if searching for a target to act upon, and those who were aimed at all retreated without exception, their faces a mix of red and white.
"Heh... look at how scared you all are! A bunch of cowards!"
The woman’s voice was light and pleasant, yet the dismissive and disdainful tone made everyone’s faces turn red with embarrassment, awkwardness, and anger!
She not only wielded a bow and arrow capriciously! But even attacked them personally, humiliating their character!
It was simply too hateful and vile!
"Wh-who are you calling a coward? Don’t go too far! Prince Rui is watching!"
Being named, Prince Rui lightly coughed, "Sister-in-law, please put down the bow and arrow, someone might get hurt by accident, and that wouldn’t be good."
Actually, Prince Rui was thinking, shoot! Shoot a few more arrows! Anyway, they’re not his people, injuring a few more wouldn’t hurt!
If the situation escalated, that cripple Nangong Mo wouldn’t benefit, and Nangong Jue would find it hard to escape blame.
And not only would he get to enjoy the spectacle, he would also benefit from it, why not?
Yun Ran gave Prince Rui a lazy glance, her bow and arrow still aimed at the crowd.
"What? Have you recovered from your ’local water and soil unaccustomedness’? Today you can jump around again?"
"Others came to the hunt to showcase archery skills, while you were competing to perform the art of wailing, afraid others wouldn’t know how useless you are!"
"You bunch of gluttons and idlers, apart from eating, drinking, and fighting crickets, what else do you know? And you even want a glimpse of my Prince’s elegance on the hunting ground? You think you’re worthy?"
Crowd: "?!..."
She called them cowards! Useless! Gluttons and idlers! Good for nothing except eating!
She even said they weren’t worthy of seeing Nangong Mo?! Is Nangong Mo made of gold? So noble that they weren’t even worthy of a glance?
Damn it! Truly infuriating!
So arrogant! Absolutely outrageous!
The ten or so people being scolded were almost exploding with anger, yet constrained by the arrow in her hand, they dared not speak out.
Especially as they looked at the man in the wheelchair behind her.
Although he was just sitting there casually, in a lazy and nonchalant posture, they couldn’t ignore the aura he naturally exuded.
That overwhelming sense of supremacy! Making people dare not look directly!
They earnestly hoped for a hero to step forward and uphold justice for them!
It seemed as though heaven heard their prayers, and indeed sent someone fearless—Lin Zhu’er!
"Lin Wanyue, you brazen, incompetent fool! Look at your arrogant, contemptuous, ghostly face! The Minister Mansion’s reputation has been completely tarnished by you!"
After the Imperial Physician’s skillful treatment, Lin Zhu’er’s two teeth were set back in, although not as perfectly aligned as before, at least enabling her to speak clearly.
Yun Ran lazily glanced at her, "Wasn’t the Minister Mansion’s face already shattered on the ground?"
"What did you say??"
"Running shady businesses, oppressing the people, earning immoral money without conscience, what face is there?"
Lin Zhu’er was dazed for a moment, then her face filled with anger, "You ungrateful dog! How dare you slander your ancestors?! Aren’t you afraid of being struck by the heavens..." Boom!
However, before Lin Zhu’er could finish her last word, a ’whoosh’ sound was heard, and an arrow whistled through the air, shooting straight for her head!
"Ah!!"
Lin Zhu’er was so frightened that her soul almost escaped, screaming and stumbling backward.
Yet that arrow was as swift as wind and thunder, how could she avoid it?
Lin Zhu’er only felt a tingling on her scalp as she saw the arrow embedded in her hair bun, the tail still trembling slightly before her eyes.
"Heaven! I, I... am dead, dead..."
Lin Zhu’er rolled her eyes and with a ’thud’ collapsed onto the ground, fainting directly.
The onlookers saw clearly that the arrow didn’t hit her, but instead lodged into her hair bun.
But this shocked and even horrified them more than if it had hit her head directly.
That arrow hit her hair bun perfectly without penetrating it or flying off elsewhere, halting there.
This not only tested the archer’s accuracy but also required precise control in strength, speed, and timing, deviations would not achieve such an effect.
At that moment, the onlookers regarded Yun Ran with a bit more scrutiny and reflection.
