Mountains and rivers pray for peace

Chapter 142
The black pimple in Liu Yiyi's hand was immediately presented to Rong Zhang. He pulled out the saber from his waist and leaned up. Before the big knife was completely covered with the black pimple, the two bumped into each other suddenly, saying " Bang" a loud bang.

There was an uproar in the audience.

Surprise, ridicule, ridicule, all kinds of eyes fell on Huo Qi like raindrops.

"He's actually cheating!"

"I'm just telling you, how can anyone be so awesome? Can all three arrows hit the target?"

"Depraved morality! To use any means to win!"

People are always willing to believe that bad things are true. In addition, Huo Qi's previous competition was too brilliant, and he didn't even behave like a girl of his age. Therefore, before the situation was completely clear, many people decided on Huo Qi with just a few words crime.

Liu Yiyi stood motionless. Seeing this, her fingertips holding the embroidered handkerchief relaxed slightly.

"It's really his father's magnet!"

I was so surprised just now, but now I am so disappointed.Zhang Rong at the examiner's seat glanced at Huo Qi with complicated eyes, then turned to Cui Xin beside him: "Old Cui, how can we solve this matter?"

Cui Xin and Huo Qi have dealt with each other several times, and they are already old acquaintances. Although she cannot vouch for Huo Qi's character, she has witnessed the depth of Huo Qi's archery skills with her own eyes, so she knows that with her ability, she will never need It is unnecessary to rely on magnets to win.What's more, Huo Qi is as cunning as a rabbit, so how could he use such a crappy trick and still be caught by Liu Yiyi?
It is likely that Liu Yiyi was defeated by Huo Qi, and she deliberately framed her for a moment.

However, these considerations cannot be stated openly.

Cui Xin didn't answer Zhang Rong's words, but looked at Liu Yiyi calmly, and finally settled on Huo Qi, and threw the question away: "Miss Huo, what do you have to say?"

"There is nothing to argue." Huo Qi shook his head with an indifferent expression.

Cui Xin choked, the reason why he asked this question was to deliberately give Huo Qi a chance to explain, as long as the reason was acceptable, he would take advantage of the opportunity to expose the matter.But why did Huo Qi have nothing to say?In front of His Highness the Seventh Highness, her verbal skill is very neat!

Seeing Huo Qi's indifferent appearance, the voice of accusation that had been drowned out by Cui Xin's opening came roaring again with saliva, all accusing her of misconduct.There are still a small number of people who have not spoken, and wait and see cautiously.

"This Miss Huo is very courageous. She dares to play such unflattering tricks in front of everyone." The fifth prince watched this scene from a distance and couldn't help but sneer.

"Fifth brother, is this judgment premature? If Miss Huo is wronged, and these words reach the ears of my father, I'm afraid you will be accused of being ignorant and incompetent."

The sixth prince had a sly smile on his face, as if he was joking with others, but the gleam between his brows and eyes revealed his intention after all.

Over the years, he has been attached to the second prince for a living, seemingly reckless and impulsive, but in fact he is not without calculations in his heart.His status is low, he doesn't want to be the emperor, but he wants to be a rich and prosperous prince, so it is very important to choose someone to stand in the team.

In front of Emperor Xiaowen, Shen Yuxian was far more favored than Shen Yuning.Shen Yuxian was different from all the princes. He learned to read at the age of five, and to bow and shoot at the age of eight. Emperor Xiaowen taught him step by step, and his love for licking the calf is evident.There were many people in the palace who worshiped those who were superior and looked down upon those who were inferior. For this honor, wherever Shen Yuxian went, there were people who calmly supported him.

But what about Shen Yuning?He is like a seed randomly sown in a corner by the wind, unnoticed by others.When people came to their senses, he had grown into a verdant pines and cypresses that could not be ignored.

When he turned fourteen, he left Beijing and went to Qingzhou. He did not take the opportunity to return to Beijing until the Queen Mother's birthday party in the third year.In the three years since he returned to Beijing, Shen Yuning has not been involved in court affairs. Instead, he has lived in seclusion, listening to sutras and meditating at Wanfo Temple. He seems to be a non-threatening person.

He used to think so too.

But what happened in the last six months made it impossible for him to look at Shen Yuning with a normal heart.

The previous autumn hunting was originally a competition between the second child and the fifth child, but who would have thought that in the end it would be Shen Yuning who hunted the black lion alone?Emperor Xiaowen suppressed the matter and even issued a decree to commend the fifth prince for hunting the most prey. He clearly wanted to tell the courtiers that even if Shen Yuning hunted the black lion, it would not change the fact that Emperor Xiaowen valued the fifth prince the most.

But people with a discerning eye can see Shen Yuning's indifferent and calm edge through this incident.

More importantly, he got the news that before the second prince fell completely, he had secretly ordered his staff to investigate what happened to Shen Yuning in Qingzhou six years ago, and something happened in the blink of an eye.

Many small details are like beads, which can only be figured out if they are strung together.

Over the years, in this palace city with strict rules, even Lao Wu had to abide by the rules and stay awake.But Shen Yuning acted arrogantly and acted arbitrarily. Didn't Emperor Xiaowen never feel sad?

He was attached to Shen Yuxing before, and he had already stood on the opposite side with Shen Yuxian, and now it is impossible to gain the trust of the fifth child, so he might as well go out and show favor to Shen Yuning.

And Huo Qi seemed to have Shen Yuning's favor, so why didn't he go along with the situation and say a few words for Huo Qi?
Cheng Chang, who had always looked like a stone statue, finally moved and glanced at Shen Yuning as if he was flying.He couldn't figure out his master's plan, but one thing he was sure of was that his master intended to arrange for Miss Huo to enter the palace.

It can be seen that Shen Yuning caressed the Buddhist beads on his wrist and closed his eyes to rest, without any intention of standing up for Huo Qi.Suddenly he remembered his master's displeasure in Crouching Tiger Town that day, and he was afraid that he might have made a mistake.

Everyone present had their own ghosts, and a short moment was stretched into a long year.

Zhang Rong, who was on the other end, saw that Huo Qi didn't even say a word to defend himself, and there was no impatience on his face. He thought that she was not weighing the seriousness of the matter, so he said: "Miss Huo, do you know what your words mean?" What do you mean? Now Miss Liu has come forward to accuse you of cheating with magnets in an attempt to interfere with the selection. This crime is certain, and you may not have the chance to enter the palace."

What Zhang Rong didn't finish was that once this matter spreads out, the entire Ningguo Duke's palace may be ashamed of it.After all, Ning Guo Gong's family has always been established in the name of integrity. If the eldest daughter's mind is not right, and the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked, others will only suspect that Ning Guo Gong is also a person who is seeking fame.

Huo Qi still looked indifferent, but this indifference was not the silence after accepting his fate, but a determination to fight it out.After pondering for a while, she finally spoke: "My little girl said that she has nothing to say, not because she admits to the crime that Miss Liu accused, but because now my little girl really has neither physical evidence nor anyone to prove her innocence."

Seeing that she was still in such an embarrassing situation, Zhang Rong subconsciously thought highly of her: "In this case, Miss Huo's results in this competition will be incalculable, and she will naturally not be able to participate in the next one. However, , I will report the entire matter to the Queen Mother, she is the most strict person and will definitely find out the matter."

Liu Yiyi forced herself to stand under the mat, folding her hands in front of her body, trembling slightly.

In fact, when she finished saying "Huo Qi cheated", she already regretted it.She secretly placed the magnet behind Huo Qi's archery target while everyone was choosing a bow. Although there were so many people at the time, no one noticed her figure, but when she thought about it carefully, she couldn't help but feel scared. After all, it was done. Being too impulsive is not perfect.

It wasn't until Rong Zhang made the final decision that Huo Qi couldn't come up with strong evidence, and the panic in her heart suddenly dissipated, replaced by a touch of joy.There are five female officials elected this time, two seats in the Queen's Palace, one seat each in the Queen Mother, Xianfei, and Shufei Palaces.Huo Qi is out, and her entry into Changle Palace is a sure thing. Compared with the benefits, her own sacrifice is worth it.

She couldn't help but curl up the corners of her lips, and as her thoughts suddenly turned around, she suddenly heard a low voice in her ears: "What is she going to do?"

Liu Yiyi suddenly came back to her senses, only to see Huo Qi quickly returning to the position where he had just competed.

She held the long bow just now, took three more arrows from the quiver, and put them on the string together.Before anyone could realize her intention, there was a "swish" sound, and three feather arrows were fired side by side, landing on the target in the blink of an eye.

All three arrows hit the bullseye!
