The Fourth Lady novel Chapter 51

Hearing Su Qingyan's words, everyone suddenly came to the realization.

That's right, since Cui Hanqun was considered the best horseback archer in Bogu Hall, if he were to kill Su Qingyan out there, then he would have to take responsibility. As for Su Qingyan, since she doesn't know how to shoot an arrow, even if she were to kill Cui Hanqun, the death contract would take effect.

When Cui Hanqun thought of this he could only feel the sweat in his palms.

Qingyan look to Cui Hanqun and delightfully smiled, "Young master Cui, well?"

Cui Hanqun no long had his earlier confidence, but he was also unwilling to lose face in front of Su Qingyuan. When he faced Su Qingyan, he pretended to be calm, "When the time comes, don't lose too badly."

With the help of one of Chunyuan's servants, Qingyan changed into riding clothes. She had picked an entirely red riding outfit.

Afterwards, she went and picked a date colored horse at the stable. She stroked the small horse's mane with a smile, "Please take good care of me."

Everyone knew that the horse Qingyan picked was the one that was offered as a tribute from Beilin Kingdom. Normally it's temper was extremely nasty, even the horse trainers were unable to tame it. Yet now, this horse in Qingyan's hands was like a small colt that just separated from its mother. It rubbed itself on her arms and even licked her cheeks.

"When the time comes, please don't embarrass me." Qingyan pressed her face onto the horse's back. The small horse let out a long cry as if replying to her.

"Miss Su, if you were to win this match, then I will gift this horse to you, what do you think?" Xuanyuan Yuze look to Qingyan and gently spoke, "I think this horse is destined for you, that's why it's so intimate with you."

As soon as Xuanyuan Yuze finished speaking, Qingyan got on the horse's back. Unlike with Cui Hanqun, the small horse knelt down on all fours so that Qingyan could easily get on its back. This scene shocked everyone.

Qingyan patted the small horse, and it immediately stood up. She look to the Crown Prince with bright smile, "If that's the case, then Qingyan will definitely try not disappoint you." As she said this she slowly rode the horse towards the field.

At the starting sound sounded, all the horses charged out into the field. Only Su Qingyan's horse slowly follow behind those horses. Cui Hanqun thought that this was his opportunity.

So every time he fired his arrows, he specifically picked the times when there was a large gap. However, as if the arrows were cursed, in the last minute, it would always shoot towards someone else next to Qingyan.

With the arrow on the bow, he had to fire. Seeing the arrows one by one slowly depleting, Cui Hanqun suddenly began to panic on the inside.

In the beginning, he only wanted to help Su Qingyuan vent her anger, but who knew that in the end it would turn out like this. Especially under these circumstances, he simply couldn't do anything about Su Qingyan.

Droplets of sweat streamed down his cheeks. He felt his vision getting more and more blurry. No matter what he did, he was unable to hit that apple on Qingyan's head.
