C37 (2/2)

”Ah!

”Lowly citizen!” How dare you block my way, you don't know your place! ”

In the barricaded room, Bai Zhiling turned around and saw Hu Xiuling, who wore a dark blue riding suit and brandished a snakeskin whip.

The whip landed heavily on the civilian who was standing by the side. The civilian's back was instantly lacerated.

Bai Zhiling frowned. Hu Xiuling still dared to do this even on such a day. This showed how arrogant she was.

Just as she was about to swing the whip again, a hand swept across and cut off her whip.

Hu Xiuling's brows creased as she raised her eyes to look at that person. ”Hee Qiqi, how dare you stop my whip!”

The one holding Hu Xiuling's whip was a woman wearing a light purple riding suit. Since her back was facing Bai Zhiling, she didn't see Hu Xiuling's face clearly.

”Hu Xiuling, you hurt the commoners for no reason. Even the empress wouldn't care if she saw you, right?” Hee Qiqi was obviously not afraid of Hu Xiuling. Even though Hu Xiuling had a noble background, it did not mean that there was no one in the capital that could match her.

”I told you to mind your own business!” Speaking of the Queen, Hu Xiuling was still a little afraid. She glared fiercely at Hee Qiqi, put away her whip, and rode forward.

The citizens were quickly cleared up by the Praetorian Guard, and Bai Zhiling rode her horse to the city gate.

A quarter of an hour later, Baili Yao's team also arrived.

”Get out of the city!”

Praetorian Guard opened the city gate, and the vast army finally left the city gate.

Bai Zhiling had gone to the Wang Mansion to pick out her horse from the stables, but it was much inferior to the horse that the previous person had lent to her.

In her boredom, when she looked up, she saw Baili Moxun behind Baili Yao. He was also wearing a mysterious rider's uniform today. Just her straight back was enough to make people daydream about him.

While Bai Zhiling was in a daze, Baili Moxun suddenly turned her head. Their gazes collided with Bai Zhiling's, and they immediately turned away guiltily.

To be able to be seen through with just a glance, how embarrassing!

The Autumn Hunt's grounds were in a primitive forest that was ten li away from the capital. Although this place had been artificially reconstructed, most of it still retained its original appearance as a primitive forest. One simply couldn't see the end of the forest at a glance.

In the autumn hunting grounds, men and women were separated.

The empress brought her group of women to the woods where they were supposed to go.

”Did you guys split up your team?” Although the empress was dressed in riding attire, she, as the mother of a nation, still looked dignified and luxurious.

”After we go back to the mother, everything is settled.” She was the empress's only daughter, the eighth princess of Little Zhou Country, Baili Zhen.

Looking at her beloved daughter, the empress's expression softened a bit.

One of the female officials took out the split sign and looked at it. After checking out the title for the Autumn Hunt, she slightly frowned her long and thin eyebrows.

Baili Zhen had said that the division would be better, but of course, the other groups had also been split up. However, there were still a few people left standing.

The queen looked at the name of the sheet and sighed.

”Qiqi, it just so happens that your group still lacks one person. Just let Princess Yun join your group.”

As soon as the Empress finished speaking, Baili Zhen took the lead to laugh.

Everyone knew why Bai Zhiling was alone.

The Empress gave him a light look before Baili Zhen stopped laughing.

”Yes, Empress.” The woman who was called Qiqi stepped forward and answered.
