467 Scared You to Death (4)
She waved her hand and instructed the maid to tie a black cloth to her eyes. Just as the maid was about to move, she saw Prince Rui pick up the black cloth from the maid’s tray and play with it with his fingers. Everyone looked at him in surprise. Prince Rui walked behind Shen Miao and held her chin with one hand, raising her head slightly. With the other hand, he wrapped the black cloth around Shen Miao’s eyes.
Luo Tan’s eyes widened. She pulled Feng Anning and said, “What… what does this mean?”
Luo Tan wasn’t the one surprised by Prince Rui’s action. Emperor Wen Hui, who was sitting on the throne, frowned slightly. Princess Ming An looked at Shen Miao jealously, her eyes filled with killing intent.
Shen Miao couldn’t see anything with her eyes locked in place. She could only feel the gentle touch of the person behind her. His fingertips were cold. When they accidentally touched Shen Miao’s face, it was like snowflakes landing on her skin, making her feel a faint chill.
When the person finished tying the black cloth, Shen Miao faced Princess Ming An and drew her bow.
Everyone held their breaths and watched her movements, feeling extremely nervous. Some people secretly blamed Shen Miao for doing this. Letting Princess Ming An bite the apple could indeed humiliate her. However, this also meant that if Shen Miao was not careful, she would injure Princess Ming An and even kill her. If the princess of the State of Qin lost her life in Ming Qi, how could the State of Qin let the matter rest easily? Even if Shen Miao paid with her life, it would probably not be enough. She would also implicate the entire Ming Qi. If Shen Miao wanted Princess Ming An to not get hurt, she would have to deliberately miss the mark. However, this way, Ming Qi would also be mocked.
In order to make the best of both worlds, Shen Miao had to shoot the apple squarely in Princess Ming An’s mouth. However, that was almost impossible.
Huangfu Hao stared at Shen Miao. Others might not know, but he knew very well how heavy Princess Ming An’s bow was. Ordinary women could not draw that bow, and even those with martial arts skills would have to practice with it for a while. However, just now, Shen Miao casually drew the bow. That skillful posture, skillful gestures, and relaxed expression made people suspect that she had already used this bow countless times.
However, that was impossible. This was the first time Princess Ming An had been to Ming Qi, and it was also the first time Shen Miao had touched this bow. Huangfu Hao suddenly became interested and looked at Shen Miao curiously.
Shen Miao did not notice it at all. Her eyes were closed, and her hands were rubbing the patterns on the arrow and the heavy bow.
It was exactly the same one as in her previous life.
She had touched this bow countless times. After Princess Ming An humiliated her, she would generously hand the bow to her and say, “It’s your turn.” In fact, Shen Miao had practiced countless times in private. She could hit the mark, but every time, she would deliberately miss it, making the princesses and princes of the State of Qin laugh at her.
Because she was a hostage, she should keep her profile low and not be arrogant. Even if she could win, she had to lose. Only then would she have a chance to go back and see Fu Ming and Wanyu alive.
Those most difficult years were engraved in her heart like the ancient patterns on this bow. In her previous life, she endured it all, and now, she could finally perform her skill. She was no longer the empress of Ming Qi. She was free and could openly challenge Princess Ming An without any worries, just like what Princess Ming An did to her.
