"It's okay." She glanced at the woman in the mirror.
A delicate and fair face, with picturesque eyebrows and eyes, lips naturally red without makeup, and long black hair cascading over her shoulders. She looked extremely charming. Even without wearing that red riding outfit, she was still strikingly beautiful.
She casually picked out a black riding outfit, put it on, and quickly walked out.
There was a carriage waiting at the door. Supported by the servants, Su Qingwen got into the carriage. She lifted the curtain and took a look outside. A relaxed smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. Finally, she could go out of the palace to have some fun.
The coachman didn't look familiar. When Su Qingwen passed by just now, she deliberately took a closer look and found that he didn't seem to be from the palace. She wondered where Huayueye had found him.
With a nervous heart, Ye Jing asked, "Why isn't Huayueye setting off with me?"
"The emperor has so many state affairs to attend to that he doesn't have much time. He thought we could take Concubine Xian there first, and then he would meet you outside the palace later." The coachman lowered his head and explained.
Hearing this, Su Qingwen nodded. It made sense. Huayueye had really been very busy recently.
About a quarter of an hour later, they arrived at the horse - riding field. This wasn't the first time Su Qingwen had come here. She was quite familiar with the place. She immediately found the pony she had ridden last time and planned to ride while waiting for Huayueye to come.
The gentle breeze blew across her face. Su Qingwen squinted her eyes, feeling in a great mood. It was really wonderful to let herself go.
Unexpectedly, not far away, two black - clothed men were hiding on the mountain, looking down in the direction where Su Qingwen was.
"What on earth is going on? Weren't we told that Su Qingwen would wear a red dress today? I've looked around for a long time and haven't seen a woman in red." A man rubbed his eyes and said angrily.
"I don't know either. This is really strange. We've already bribed Eunuch Wang. There shouldn't be any mistake, but..." The bearded man beside him also frowned in confusion.
"What should we do now? We can't even find out where Su Qingwen is. How can we kill her? This is just a joke!"
"Don't be in a hurry. Wait a bit longer." The bearded man grabbed his wrist, signaling him to calm down.
Riding alone wasn't much fun for Su Qingwen. She slowly stopped, reached out and stroked the pony under her. She estimated that Huayueye should be coming by this time.
"I'm a bit tired. I want to go and take a rest." She slowly dismounted and decided to find a chair to wait for Huayueye. After all, she had to save some energy so that they could ride horses together when Huayueye came.
As time slowly passed, there was no sign of Huayueye. Su Qingwen clenched her fists in dissatisfaction. She felt extremely irritated. This man was really going too far. He was becoming more and more unpunctual.
She stood up unhappily and planned to leave directly.
"No, I really can't wait any longer. Look, if we wait any longer, we'll be exposed. Su Qingwen must be the one who's about to leave. Let me end her quickly!" The black - clothed man leaped up, immediately drew his bow and aimed at Su Qingwen's figure.
They were still some distance away from Su Qingwen, and she wasn't dressed in a very conspicuous way. It was still a bit difficult to hit her.
"Be careful." The bearded man reminded him nervously in his ear.
"Okay." The man nodded slightly, with a hint of coldness in his eyes.
The long arrow whistled through the air, cutting through the sharp wind and stabbing directly at Su Qingwen.
However, the man's skills weren't good enough. The arrow grazed her arm, causing a series of blood beads to splash. It didn't hit a vital part.
"Ah!" Su Qingwen exclaimed and immediately fell to the ground. Ignoring the pain in her arm, she gritted her teeth and looked in the direction from which the arrow had come, shouting angrily, "Who on earth is it?"
There were quite a few guards in the horse - riding field. Seeing this scene, they immediately rushed over to protect Su Qingwen and asked, "Concubine Xian, are you okay?"
Su Qingwen gritted her teeth and examined the wound on her body. Fortunately, it was just a scratch. It was just a broken skin and some bleeding. It wouldn't be life - threatening.
"I'm okay." Taking a deep breath, she calmly ordered, "Find the assassin first. We'll talk about the rest when we get back."
Hearing this, the guards immediately started a search.
Meanwhile, a group of people escorted Su Qingwen back to the palace.
The coachman just now ran over and volunteered, "Concubine Xian, I'm familiar with all the roads here. Let me take you back."
"Okay." She didn't have the time to think too much now. She just nodded hurriedly, covered the wound and got into the carriage.
However, just as the carriage was about to move forward for a few miles, the coachman suddenly changed the direction and took Su Qingwen to another place.
The other guards also noticed this and immediately questioned, "Hey, what are you trying to do?"
The coachman sneered, and his expression suddenly changed. "What else? Send you to hell!"
After saying that, he reached into his bosom, then suddenly raised his arm and threw something at the guards.
The white powder fluttered down on everyone's faces. The guards all felt a bone - eroding pain. They kept shouting and could only cover their eyes.
It turned out that this man was a spy! Su Qingwen's eyes widened. She wanted to jump out of the carriage.
[System: Honey, calm down. Don't be impulsive. You only have 50% of your health left. If you keep acting like this, I guarantee you won't live for more than a year.]
"Then what should I do now?" Cold sweat was dripping from Su Qingwen's head. She bit her lips tightly, watching as the coachman was about to come towards her.
[System: I'll activate the time - freeze mode for you now, but it will cost you some points. Is that okay?]
"Okay." At this critical moment, Su Qingwen definitely wouldn't be stingy about those small benefits.
[System: Okay. The time - freeze state will last for five minutes, so you must hurry up and find a place to hide.]
"Okay." Su Qingwen nodded heavily. She felt that she was really the most unlucky game player. She had played until the final level with only half of her life left.
After answering this sentence, Su Qingwen saw that the man's movements suddenly stopped. It was as if he had been acupunctured. He didn't even blink his eyes.
She knew that this was the five - minute chance to escape that the system had given her. Taking a deep breath, Su Qingwen rushed out and quickly ran towards the palace.
At this time, Huayueye also learned the news that Su Qingwen had been attacked. Immediately, he suddenly overturned the table. His face was gloomy as he said, "Why did Concubine Xian go to the horse - riding field for no reason?"
Seeing Huayueye's furious look, the little eunuch who had passed the message to Su Qingwen trembled. He almost fell to the ground.
