Venomous Empress Reborn

463 Forced to Compete (7)

However, Pei Lang knew that Shen Miao would not put herself in a risky situation because she had a heart that was more cold-blooded than everyone else.

Prince Rui quickly returned the bow to Princess Ming An. Princess Ming An took it shyly and said to Shen Miao, “Miss Shen, please stand over there. And…” She picked up an apple from the maid’s tray and handed it to Shen Miao with a smile.” Miss Shen, put this on your head. ”

Shen Qiu clenched his fists nervously.

“Yes,” Shen Miao said with lowered eyes. She took the apple and walked to the other side.

Everyone watched her. Princess Ming An had already asked someone to tie black cloth around her eyes, and Prince Rui walked to Shen Miao’s side.

Under everyone’s gaze, he snatched the apple from Shen Miao’s hand. Shen Miao was stunned. Prince Rui held the apple and gently placed it on her head.

Shen Miao looked up at him.

Because there was something on her head, Shen Miao was afraid that if she lifted her head too much, the apple would fall, so she could only roll her eyes upward at him without moving. The young man was extremely tall. Even if Shen Miao had grown a few centimeters in the past two years, she could only reach his chest.

The silver mask revealed this man’s good-looking chin and red lips. The corners of his lips were slightly curled, making people wonder if he had the same smile under the mask. His black eyes were like the stars, like autumn water. When he looked over, he seemed to be gentle, but also seemed to be teasing.

Teasing?

He placed the apple on the top of Shen Miao’s head and stroked Shen Miao’s hair with one finger, as if he was stroking a small beast in captivity. However, in just a moment, he retracted his finger. Because his body was turned to the side, from the angle of others, they would only see Prince Rui placing the apple for Shen Miao.

He turned around and walked to the side, crossing his arms as if he was watching a show.

Shen Miao’s attention was attracted by Princess Ming An, who was slowly drawing her bow.

The bow seemed to be very heavy, and Princess Ming An was having a hard time pulling it. The harder she pulled, the heavier everyone’s hearts were, especially Shen Xin and his family.

The more fully the bow was drawn, the more powerful the arrow would be. The more powerful the arrow was, the more dangerous Shen Miao would be. This game was no longer as unharmful as Princess Ming An claimed. It concerned the dignity of a country. If Shen Miao revealed a look of fear and begged, Ming Qi would be greatly humiliated. Everyone actually thought for certain that Princess Ming An would eventually win. They just hoped that Shen Miao would not make a fool of herself too much.

Shen Miao looked quietly at Princess Ming An, whose eyes were wrapped in black cloth. It was unknown if Princess Ming An was deliberately torturing Shen Miao, but she drew the bow more and more slowly. The soft sound of the bow being drawn cut everyone’s hearts.

Shen Miao was in a trance, feeling as if she wasn’t in a banquet at home but the State of Qin far far away. The princes and princesses of the State of Qin surrounded her as if she was a clown. She was wearing clothes that had been mended countless times and had a fruit on her head.

The person opposite her was arrogant and domineering. She was dressed gorgeously and exquisitely, and her eyes were tied with white cloth. She said to the men and women around her, “Look! Today, I’ll use the empress of Ming Qi as a target. Later, all of you, look carefully and see if this empress will pee her pants in fear. Hahaha, you have to look carefully and tell me!”

She pulled the bow arrogantly, and the arrow shot over with a whoosh, missing a little. Shen Miao screamed in panic and held her head in her arms, but the mocking laughter from all directions became louder.

What a humiliating memory, but it coincided with the one in front of her.

Shen Miao slowly curled her lips, but no one knew if it was because of sadness or hatred. There seemed to be a layer of black fog slowly spreading to the bottom of her clear eyes, making them look unfathomable.

Prince Rui, who was at the side, clenched his fingers. He paused for a moment before quietly letting go.

She tilted her head slightly, almost unnoticeable.
