Venomous Empress Reborn

468 Scared You to Death (5)

She said, “Princess, please don’t dodge.”

After saying that, she let go of the bow and shot the arrow at Princess Ming An like a meteor!

Princess Ming An was so frightened that her vision blurred. The arrow came too quickly. She wanted to dodge, but it was too late. She felt a pain in her mouth and the arrow was right in front of her. She wanted to scream, but with the apple in her mouth, she couldn’t. Her body went limp and she fell to the ground.

The palace maid behind her quickly helped her up. Huangfu Hao stood up immediately, his expression extremely dark. The hall was filled with wows. Shen Miao slowly took off the black cloth tied to her eyes and walked to the unconscious Princess Ming An to take out the apple from her mouth.

On the red apple, half of the arrowhead was inside, and the remaining half was outside. She wanted to show everyone that Princess Ming An was safe and sound.

And she hit the mark.

“It seems like I’m very lucky today.” She smiled.

The officials of Ming Qi were stunned at first, then their faces turned red with joy and they began to clap. Someone said, “Like father, like daughter!”

It was Princess Ming An who suggested an archery competition. Shen Miao had no choice but to accept it. However, in the end, Princess Ming An failed while Shen Miao succeeded. Princess Ming An even fainted from fright. It was obvious who was the winner and who was the loser. Emperor Wen Hui was wary of the Shen family, but now that Shen Miao had made him proud. He was very happy. He looked at Shen Xin and said, “General Shen, you raised a good daughter!”

Shen Xin cupped his hands.

Shen Miao stood in the center of the hall. The wind blew past her, making the corners of her dress flutter like a blooming flower. She quietly stared at Princess Ming An, who was helped away by a maid. She restrained the emotions in her eyes and turned around to meet Prince Rui’s gaze.

She couldn’t see his expression under the mask, but the man’s gaze was warm and cold, making her a little confused. She didn’t know if he was smiling or not. He glanced at Shen Miao and walked back to his seat.

Huangfu Hao felt embarrassed, but he did not know how to salvage the situation. Today, it happened suddenly, and it was started by Princess Ming An. Looking at Shen Miao, Huangfu Hao snorted. “I didn’t expect Miss Shen to be so skilled.”

Shen Miao lowered her head and returned to her seat.

She always behaved so gently and harmlessly. When she shot the arrow, she did not hold back at all and was filled with hostility. However, at this moment, she went back to being an obedient girl, as if she was not the one who did those things.

“Shen Miao, you were really…” Feng Anning held her hand. “If you were a man, I would have married you.”

“It’s really satisfying to see the villain getting punished.” Luo Tan added, “Cousin Miao, I knew you wouldn’t let others bully you.” When they were in Spring City, the Luo family gradually came to understand that Shen Miao wasn’t someone who could take humiliation lying down.

Shen Miao lowered her eyes. Everyone thought that she held a grudge because Princess Ming An had made things difficult for her. Little did they know that she did it for herself in her previous life. Facing a scheming person like Fu Xiuyi, she naturally had to plan step by step. As for a person like Princess Ming An, if she did not return the humiliation she suffered in her previous life, she would be wasting the god-given rebirth.

She was careful, but at the same time, she still had her usual temper. With her family protecting her and a bargaining chip in hand, why wouldn’t she dare to go against Princess Ming An? If it started all over again, she would still do so.
