The Regent's Little Wife

Chapter 583: Disaster at the Hunting Ground

Si Ning's tone was full of compassion, as if she was a compassionate bodhisattva who was saving a suffering soul. Her words were full of sympathy for Chen Han's daughter and anger towards the scumbag, which made people feel sad for the fate of Chen Han's daughter.

Chen Han finally recovered from his grief. He knelt down in front of Si Ning and said, "Lady Saint, I didn't know it was you, and I treated you like that. Please forgive me. I didn't know it was you before, but it was like this. I hope you can forgive me. As a father, I feel so sad knowing that my daughter was replaced. I hope you can understand."

Si Ning quickly helped the man in front of him up and said gently, "You don't need to kneel to me. I understand you very well. You are a demon. If I'm not mistaken, you are a snow demon, right? I want to know why you, a snow demon, are with the previous empress? One is a human, and the other is a demon. These two cannot be together."

Snow demon Chen Han sighed and said slowly: "You are right. My wife and I cannot be together. She accidentally fell into a snow hole, and that snow hole was my formation. I was a little hungry at the time, and I thought that if the human who came up the mountain fell into my formation, I could have a good meal."

"However, when I saw her, I couldn't do anything. She was so beautiful that no one could do anything to her. So, after I rescued her from the snow cave, she thanked me very much, but I never expected that she was actually the empress of Si Dynasty."

"So I sent her back to the palace, but I don't know why, after I sent her back to the palace, I couldn't walk. I should have returned to the snow mountain to continue my cultivation, but when I saw him, I really... So I was with him. At that time, in order to be with him, I could only ask my men to pretend to be my parents and give me an identity at random. I couldn't tell those ministers of the Sisichao that I was a snow demon."

"Afterwards, I stayed in the palace, and she indeed canonized me as the Phoenix Queen. In order not to be laughed at by the people in the court, I took the imperial examination in just one year and became the first. I used my actions to make those ministers in the court stop talking."

"Later, he and I had two sons. Fortunately, those two sons did not inherit my genes but all human genes. But when I gave birth to my third child, my daughter, I didn't expect that she did have my genes. She is half human, half demon, so she can wear thin clothes in the snow on a cold day and not feel cold. And one time I saw it with my own eyes, her palms could actually produce snowflakes."

"I was afraid that others would know the truth, so I sealed all his spells in his body. Later, my wife died unexpectedly. I was too sad and left the court. I didn't care about this matter later. I didn't expect such a thing to happen in my previous life."

Si Ning listened to Chen Han's story, and she couldn't help but feel touched and compassionate. She gently patted Chen Han's shoulder and comforted him, "I can understand the feelings between you. Love is sometimes so wonderful. Although you are a demon and she is a human, love is boundless. Maybe it is because of this special feeling that brought you together."

Chen Han looked at Si Ning gratefully, tears flashing in his eyes: "Thank you for your understanding, Saint Lady. I used to think that I was a monster and didn't deserve such love. But now, I understand that love has no boundaries. As long as you truly love each other, you can overcome all obstacles."

"It's great that you have such an idea. So, what are you going to do next?" Si Ning tilted his head slightly and looked at Chen Han with some curiosity.

Chen Han answered seriously, "I hope to stay by your side, Saint Lady. First, I can better protect your safety. Second, I want to find the murderer who killed my daughter and avenge her. What do you think, Saint Lady?"

Si Ning thought to herself that she really needed a capable helper. Moreover, Chen Han was not an ordinary human, but a snow demon with powerful magic. This meant that he would be a strong supporter of her future plans. More importantly, they had a common goal - to avenge his daughter and give her a chance to reincarnate. In this case, cooperation was undoubtedly the best choice.

Therefore, Si Ning and Chen Han successfully reached an agreement. However, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble and suspicion, Si Ning decided to continue to maintain her original identity and let Chen Han take care of her. When no one was around, Chen Han would respectfully address Si Ning as Saint Lady.

After all, Chen Han understood the noble status of the Phoenix Saint, which was something that a little demon like him would never be able to achieve in his lifetime.

The respect that Chen Han showed to Empress Si Ning in the court made all the ministers who were still a little unconvinced in their hearts feel afraid. He could scare these people into silence with just a look.

This Chen Han is indeed a pillar of talent! No wonder he was able to hold an important position during the reign of the former empress and make the court so stable. Everyone couldn't help but sigh.

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was the day of the hunt. All officials above the third rank in the court went to the hunting grounds to participate in this grand event. And it was Si Ning's first time to participate in such a royal hunt. Although she had seen similar scenes in TV dramas, she had never experienced it in person.

Si Chao's army was well-trained. After arriving at the hunting grounds, they quickly divided into 20 teams, each with four people. The rules of the competition were that whoever hunted the most prey would be honored by the empress herself.

The weather was particularly pleasant at the moment. It had just rained last night, but now the sky had cleared up. The air was filled with a fresh scent, which made people feel happy. Si Ning also walked into the forest with Jin Yu, Mo Yu, Shun Zi and Zhi Hang. She was thinking about hunting a few wild rabbits so that she could roast them for dinner.

Along the way, Si Ning and the guards got along well with each other like old friends, chatting and laughing. They also each harvested a fat hare, which was a great success.

However, at this moment, a strong wind suddenly blew in the mountains. For some reason, the horse that Si Ning was riding suddenly let out a long cry, and then ran forward uncontrollably.

No one was prepared for this sudden change. Several guards hurriedly pulled their mounts and tried to chase Si Ning, but her horse seemed to be extremely frightened and ran very fast, making it difficult for them to catch up. In the end, they even lost sight of Si Ning.

Si Ning was afraid of falling off the horse, so she had to hold the horse's neck tightly. She knew that the only way to stop the frightened horse was to wait for it to stop by itself after it was exhausted. Therefore, she could only wait patiently.

Suddenly, Si Ning looked up and found a cliff in front of her. She was terrified and quickly pulled the reins, but the horse was completely out of control and rushed straight to the cliff. At this time, Si Ning had no time to jump off the horse and could only watch herself and the horse fall off the cliff together.

On a wide ship, the sails were swollen by the sea breeze, and the waves hit the side of the ship with a crisp sound. The sky gradually darkened and night was about to fall.
