Hearing this questioning, the Empress's eyes were somewhat panicked, but she still brazenly said, "Your Majesty is unaware, I was originally admiring the flowers in the Imperial Garden with the Princess and the Commandery Princess. Seeing that the Commandery Princess lacked enthusiasm and considering she had been practicing martial arts from a young age, I thought I'd take a turn at the archery range."
Shi Zhou frowned as he listened to her fabricated tale.
It was actually Princess Qiya who had initiated the idea of going to the archery range to compete, yet the Empress didn't mention a word about it, her words insinuating that it was her own responsibility.
But before he could speak up, he already heard the Emperor say to the Empress, displeased, "Is the archery range somewhere you can go just like that? If the Commandery Princess got hurt or something happened, could you bear that responsibility?"
