Chapter 134 is a great supplement!
Jiang Jinshuang saw the arrow clearly.

She even knew that the arrow was aimed at her!
"Soon-"

The long arrow whistled through the wind, but before it could fall, a whisk rose up and cleaved the arrow in two!
"Click——"

With a crisp sound, the arrow was snapped in two by the whisk raised by Eunuch Sun in front of Jiang Jinshuang's sedan chair!

Jiang Jinshuang feigned shock and panic, her gaze fixed, her lips trembling, and tears rolling down her almond-shaped eyes.

Belatedly realizing what was happening, Jiang Jinshuang trembled, covered her mouth, and sobbed softly.

Eunuch Sun glanced at Jiang Jinshuang without any emotion. He then turned back, and the Empress Dowager and her entourage looked in the direction from which the arrows had come.

The one who just shot that arrow was none other than Prince Wen Fengcang of Beihuai.

The arrow missed its mark.

Wen Fengcang was dressed in an exotic black and gold silk robe, which only covered one arm, leaving the other arm bare and revealing a large expanse of fair skin on his upper body.

In their language, Beihuai means "wanderer," and they are very fit in both physique and appearance.

King Beihuai had only one son, Wen Fengcang, who was appointed crown prince from birth and was also the only eldest prince of Beihuai.

Wen Fengcang was dressed in silk and satin, and adorned with gold and gemstones, looking quite glamorous.

He raised his eyebrows slightly, a faint smile playing at the corners of his mouth.

He didn't pay much attention to the fact that the arrow didn't achieve the result he wanted.

He chuckled and casually tossed the hundred-stone bow in his hand to the guard beside him.

On the imperial carriage, the Empress Dowager roared, "Outrageous! Is this the kind of 'sincerity' the Crown Prince of Beihuai has shown in coming to pay homage to our court?!"

That arrow was a provocation.

Even if the Empress Dowager disliked Jiang Jinshuang, she could not allow another country to humiliate Wan Jin!
As the two groups approached, Wen Fengcang bowed slightly towards the Empress Dowager, placing one hand on his chest: "Your Majesty, you misunderstand. I merely saw a vulture circling above Princess's head and wanted to shoot it down for good luck."

"It's a pity my archery skills are not good enough; I almost hurt the princess's life. I'm truly terrified."

What a lame excuse.

Jiang Jinshuang rolled her eyes inwardly, but her face still showed an expression of being too scared to move.

The Empress Dowager turned her head and glanced in Jiang Jinshuang's direction.

Hearing Jiang Jinshuang sobbing, the Empress Dowager frowned in displeasure: "She's just a woman after all, and that's all the courage she has."

Grandpa Sun, standing to the side, remained silent, simply putting away his whisk.

Whether it was his imagination or not, he felt that a murderous aura suddenly appeared before he made his move.

But it was only for a moment; the killing intent dissipated the instant he made his move.

It was so fast it seemed like his imagination.

Wen Fengcang had a handsome appearance, and beside him stood the tall and imposing Yin-Yang Blade Marquis.

The people on horseback looked at the Empress Dowager's entourage with unparalleled respect.

The Empress Dowager sat high on her palanquin, exuding majesty: "The Crown Prince of Beihuai has not come to visit without imperial decree, and I have not heard a word of it."

Wen Fengcang smiled, his beauty stunning: "I have long heard that Wan Jin has a beautiful landscape and wonderful scenery. On my trip to the capital, I have been sightseeing and enjoying the scenery. I dare not disturb Your Majesty and the Empress Dowager."

Well said.

The carriage curtain fell again, and Jiang Jinshuang stopped crying, her expression languid and calm.

Wen Fengcang is a madman.

Wiping away the tears that had welled up in her eyes, Jiang Jinshuang rested her chin on her hand, listening listlessly to the conversation between the two people outside.

With the Empress Dowager here, she had no chance to interrupt, which saved her a lot of trouble.

After exchanging a few more pleasantries with the Empress Dowager, Wen Fengcang said in a deep voice, "Guests are always welcome. Since Prince Beihuai has come, Your Majesty and I naturally welcome him."

As he spoke, Eunuch Sun walked up to the city gate, knocked on it three times, and handed over the token.

In an instant, the soldiers guarding the city understood, and the eight soldiers split into two groups and slowly pushed open the heavy city gate.

The Empress Dowager, with her impeccable demeanor, said: "Crown Prince, please."

Wen Fengcang smiled modestly and bowed slightly: "I understand the rules of Wan Jin. Your Majesty the Empress Dowager, please go first. I will follow behind."

Without refusing, the Empress Dowager nodded slightly, and the carriage slowly entered the city gate.

Outside the city gate.

Jiang Jinshuang's carriage followed behind the Empress Dowager's entourage. Her carriage had only moved a few steps when Wen Fengcang, riding a tall horse, followed beside it.

Jiang Jinshuang secretly raised an eyebrow.

The carriage curtain was drawn, and Jiang Jinshuang could see Wen Fengcang walking forward in the carriage outside her carriage through only a corner of the curtain.

Outside the carriage, Wen Fengcang's voice could be heard asking questions.

"Lord Wan, the person you're talking about, could it be this princess who's hiding in the carriage crying?"

With a hint of ambiguous contempt.

Jiang Jinshuang raised her eyebrows, a lazy smile on her lips, and listened without responding.

She knew that Wen Fengcang's words were deliberately meant for her, but she deliberately ignored them.

Behind Wen Fengcang, the Marquis of Wanhu respectfully said, "Yes, Your Highness, it is she."

Wen Fengcang scoffed lightly, glanced at the carriage, and smiled casually: "It must be that Lord Wan is getting old and his eyesight is failing."

Marquis Wanhu then fell silent.

"Clatter clatter—"

The horses' hooves clattered rhythmically across the city's cobblestone streets.

"Your Highness is so delicate, I'm sure you wouldn't be the one to make things difficult for you."

Wen Fengcang added another sentence.

But Jiang Jinshuang heard a different emotion in those words.

She instinctively darted behind the carriage curtain!
The next second, a long sword pierced through the carriage curtain and went straight into Jiang Jinshuang's carriage!

So fast and stealthy that no one even noticed anything amiss, the group continued its steady progress.

Jiang Jinshuang looked at the sword blade that was held across her face, only inches from her neck, and her eyes turned cold.

—That's a bit bullying.

Jiang Jinshuang doesn't like to suffer losses.

So the next second, before Wen Fengcang could sheathe his sword, Jiang Jinshuang picked up a teacup from the low table and threw it at the person outside the carriage curtain!
"Your Highness, be careful!" the Marquis of Ten Thousand Households warned in a deep voice!

The longsword was abruptly retracted!

Outside the carriage, Wen Fengcang had a cup of tea hanging from his sword. He slowly raised his hand, and the teacup fell into his hand, following the direction of the sword.

The teapot was filled to eight-tenths full, and not a single drop was spilled.

Wen Fengcang chuckled, took a sip of tea, and commented with feigned seriousness, "It's a bit weak, but thank you still for your hospitality, Princess."

Through the carriage curtain, the young girl chuckled softly, her voice deliberately sweet and coquettish: "Your Highness is too kind. However, I am quite curious, when others serve Your Highness tea and food, don't you ever check them?"

"Oh?" Wen Fengcang raised an eyebrow. "Judging from what Your Highness is saying, you've drugged me in this tea?"

“How could I dare to do such a treasonous thing?” Jiang Jinshuang said with a smile. “It’s just that I’ve been having irregular periods lately, so I had the physician at home prepare some herbal tea.”

After a pause, Jiang Jinshuang exclaimed, "It's incredibly nourishing!"

The words have not yet fallen.

Just outside the carriage, the Marquis of Wanhu called out in a low voice, "Your Highness the Crown Prince!"

Wen Fengcang's nose started bleeding.

A flurry of activity and commotion came from outside the carriage.

Jiang Jinshuang smiled and squinted her eyes for a short rest.

After that, Wen Fengcang finally stopped causing her trouble.

Upon arriving at the princess's residence, Jiang Jinshuang alighted from the carriage.

The Empress Dowager sat high on her palanquin and coldly ordered, "The Crown Prince of Beihuai is here today. A banquet will be held in the palace tonight. Don't be late."

Jiang Jinshuang nodded respectfully: "Your subject obeys."

Wen Fengcang also sat high on his horse and looked down at Jiang Jinshuang.

His vertical pupils contracted slightly, like a venomous snake locking onto its prey.

He only glanced at it before following the procession toward the palace.

Jiang Jinshuang returned to the princess's residence. As soon as she entered the courtyard, she saw Si Ning already waiting in the main hall.
