On the day of Empress Xiuying, Bai Yunyu's death, Emperor Xianliang was busy preparing for his hunt. He was still clueless about what was happening, but he felt way too stressed with the problems in the empire. So he pushed the day of his seasonal hunt two days earlier.
Huang Shu hunted boar or fawn for recreation and would be followed by the generals. But since many generals had been stationed outside of the forbidden city, he only took two generals. He went with a small group of the entourage to guard him.
Huang Shu caressed the bow in his hand. This was not actually his. This was Bai Yunyu's bow. They often did this recreational hunting activity together before Yunyu got banished. Bai Yunyu was a ger, but he was a great warrior nevertheless.
