"No need. I want to see what kind of humiliation they can make. Just treat it as a joke. I've stayed in the palace for so many years and I'm bored enough.”The empress dowager smiled.
Hearing the Empress Dowager's words, the eunuch did not say anything more.
"Alright, you guys can leave first. I don't want to make things difficult for you. Seeing you all eat like this, bengong's heart aches! If this continues, your delicate skin will be damaged. If your father blames you, BenGong will be duty-bound!”The empress dowager finally couldn't hold it in anymore. She looked at some delicate and weak women, unable to even draw her bow.
Those women were unwilling, but they did not dare to disobey the decree and could only obediently retreat.
Finally, it was Gu Luoluo's turn. She pulled the bow effortlessly. After all, she was from a martial arts family, so this was not a problem.
"There's no need to be too serious.”Divine Lord Di whispered to her. He was afraid that Gu Luoluo would cause trouble if she exceeded the other women by too much.
"That won't do. This time, I'm representing the young miss of the Zhang family. Her martial arts might not be inferior to mine. If I can't shoot well, won't I embarrass him?”Gu Luoluo shot out three arrows in a row, and each arrow hit the bullseye.
Before the woman next to her could see clearly, the lone arrow had already hit the bullseye.
"Alright." The Empress Dowager praised Gu Luoluo from above. She clapped her hands for Gu Luoluo without hesitation." You are indeed a descendant of the Zhang family. Your skills are extraordinary."”
"Thank you for your praise, Empress Dowager." Lonely, she bent her back slightly.
"BenGong has not had enough fun, can you perform for BenGong again?”The Empress Dowager asked Gu Luoluo.
Gu Luoluo knew that it was not appropriate to refuse, so she could only bite the bullet and say,"What does the Empress want to see? Just say it."”
"Alright, I'll do it. Don't worry, BenGong won't make things too difficult for you. I just want to see you perform some sword techniques. After seeing your performance just now, bengong feels that your archery skills are extraordinary, but how much better can you be compared to men?”
"Someone come! Call him up." the empress dowager ordered.
"This subject attends the Empress Dowager." A palace guard stepped forward.
"Does the Empress want me to fight with your personal guard?”Gu Luoluo asked.
"That's exactly what I'm thinking. But don't worry, this won't hurt you at all. I've specially instructed him to stop. Besides, it's not like you're competing in close combat, so your lives won't be in danger.”The empress dowager explained to Gu Luoluo.
"Someone come! Prepare a brazier and rope." The empress dowager ordered people to reset the competition.
Gu Luoluo looked at the arrangement and immediately understood the empress dowager's intention. She wanted people to fly above the brazier and then use their internal energy to freeze in the air. "Even my father can't stay in the air for a long time, so I have to make a prompt decision and aim at the bullseye. The arrow had to be strong enough, because only by shooting through the apple hanging in front of it could the arrow finally fly to the target.”Gu Luoluo thought to herself.
Divine Emperor Di could not help but worry when he saw the arrangement." What is the Empress Dowager trying to do? If it was just an ordinary competition, why would he go through so much trouble?”
Gu Luoluo fearlessly picked up her bow and arrow. She easily used her internal energy to freeze in the air. Then, he instantly found the bullseye and set it without hesitation. She used her internal energy to push the arrow forward, allowing it to penetrate the apple in the middle and hit the bullseye.
"Miss Zhang is indeed extraordinary. Even such an arrangement is not difficult for you. I'm afraid that not only will you inherit your father's legacy, but you'll even be more outstanding than your father!”The Empress Dowager praised.
"Empress Dowager, you flatter me." Gu Luoluo said humbly.
It was the Empress Dowager's guard's turn. Before the match began, he glanced at the Empress Dowager.
He was also frozen in the air like Gu Luoluo, but it seemed that his internal energy was a little insufficient. After a while, he began to sway. In his panic, he still shot the arrow in his hand, but the arrow was not aimed at the target, but at Gu Luoluo.
Strangely enough, the arrow seemed to be different from ordinary arrows. It accelerated towards Gu Luoluo, making it difficult for her to dodge.
Seeing this, Divine Lord Di had no choice but to stand in front of Gu Luoluo and let the arrow pierce through his right shoulder.
"Divine Lord Di, Divine Lord Di." Gu Luoluo saw the blood dripping from the arrow and shouted," Someone, save him!”Large amounts of tears fell from Gu Luoluo's eyes.
The Empress Dowager was also panicking. She never thought that someone would block that arrow for Gu Luoluo. She originally wanted to hurt Gu Luoluo and then take her back to the palace for treatment. He would find another opportunity to let her share a room with the Emperor. This way, she would be able to become the Empress. The princess of the Xiongnu had just arrived, and the empress dowager wanted to make an empress at this time to suppress the dignity of the Xiongnu. The eldest daughter of the Zhang family was the best candidate. Her martial arts were extremely high, and she was probably not inferior to the princess of the Xiongnu. But now that the injured person had become her guard, the Empress Dowager did not know what to do.
"Empress Dowager, I beg you to save him!”Gu Luoluo cried to the Empress Dowager.
"Someone come! What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and take a look.”The empress dowager shouted at the imperial physician.
The guard lifted the stretcher and placed Divine Lord Di on it. Then, he was placed in the room for treatment.
Gu Luoluo wanted to go in and take a look, but was stopped by the Empress Dowager.
"I know that you are a child who values friendship, but he is a man after all. If you go in rashly like this, it will damage your reputation. Don't worry, the imperial physicians are also first-class.”The empress dowager comforted Gu Luoluo.
Gu Luoluo could only stand outside the door and wait with the Empress Dowager, tears still flowing uncontrollably.
After a while, the imperial physician came out." How are his injuries?”Gu Luoluo asked anxiously.
" Miss, it's basically fine…" The imperial physician wanted to say something, but he stopped when he heard the Empress Dowager cough.
"Can I go in now?”Gu Luoluo asked the imperial physician.
"Of course, I've already arranged his clothes.”The imperial physician said respectfully.
Gu Luoluo rushed in and saw that Divine Lord Di was covered in bandages. Blood was seeping out of the white bandages.
Gu Luoluo's tears flowed even more violently when she saw Divine Lord Di.
"I'm fine. I was just shot by an arrow. I'll be fine after resting for a few days.”Divine Lord Di raised his hand with difficulty and touched Gu Luoluo's head.
At this moment, the Empress Dowager suddenly walked in." It's all my guard's fault. I must punish him properly."”She pretended to be very angry.
Seeing Gu Luoluo's tear-stained face, she comforted her,"You don't have to worry too much. BenGong will definitely cure him. I've already sent someone to do it." Tomorrow, he would be sent to the palace and let the imperial physician treat him well.”#
