Chapter 75 Part 8 - Thrilling (1/2)
Jiang You Yao also didn’t know what happened. Initially, she saw Jiang Li’s horse startled and was secretly delighted. Unexpectedly, a disaster lasting for a thousand years, yet Jiang Li didn’t fall to her death and was even in the limelight, her archery skill was outstanding while on horseback. Even Meng Hong Jin, who was the best at archery riding, wasn’t able to compete with her. Moreover, Meng Hong Jin had inexplicably shot at Princess Yongning. Seeing how Meng Hong Jin was seized by Princess Yongning’s people, Jiang You Yao felt a burst of lingering fear for no reason.
“Mother——” She stared at Ji Shuran with anger and panic in her eyes. Meng Hong Jin was the person who set herself against Jiang Li, how was Meng Hong Jin suddenly thrown into prison?
Ji Shuran was also annoyed. Starting from yesterday, when she glimpsed Meng Hong Jin’s gaze when she looked at Jiang Li, she faintly guessed that Meng Hong Jin would do something to Jiang Li. Without doubt, Jiang Li’s horse abruptly went crazy today must have Meng Hong Jin’s hand in it. But the ending didn’t damage Jiang Li in the slightest, instead, Meng Hong Jin was taken down.
Although it wasn’t clear what Jiang Li had done, today’s matter caused Ji Shuran to re-assess Jiang Li. One by one, the huge change in temperament after Jiang Li returned to Yanjing, in addition her sudden qin and horseback archery skills, these two made Ji Shuran feel strange and danger.
If previously Ji Shuran still intended to use other people’s hand to remove Jiang Li, this thorn in her side, now the threat Jiang Li gave to Ji Shuran had increased. This made Ji Shuran think, even if she used her own hands, she had to make Jiang Li disappear as soon as possible.
She couldn’t afford to wait anymore.
The announcement was made at the time but the crowd was already in chaos due to Princess Yongning’s injury and nobody cared about the names that were read out.
But even if they weren’t listening, probably everybody knew that Jiang Li received first place today.
Jiang Li herself had no intention to listen to the person announcing the list. Her sight crossed the crowd and fell on Shen Yurong who was near Cheng Wang and at a distance from Princess Yongning.
Princess Yongning was protected by the imperial bodyguards and was waited upon by her personal maid to leave the examination field to heal her injuries. Jiang Li estimated that although the arrow wasn’t able to take Princess Yongning’s life, it didn’t merely cause a light scratch. She probably needed to take care of it for half a month, it’s also difficult to tell whether it wouldn’t leave a scar. Princess Yongning was in such a rage precisely due to this.
However, Princess Yongning at the moment, apart from flying into a rage, her rather weak and pitiful gaze still lingered on Shen Yurong.
Jiang Li had never seen such a Princess Yongning. In her last memory, Princess Yongning had a carefree and complacent smile on her sinister and venomous face. This kind of in love and coquettish look made her seem to have turned into a different person.
