Just then, Mu Junhan caught up, and with another arrow, it pierced the horse's neck, causing blood to spurt out, the horse whinnied twice and then fell to the ground.

He flew to An Lingge's back and hugged her to his chest, then steadily landed on the ground.

"Big Sister, are you alright?"

Seeing that she was fine, An Lingxue's eyes flashed with a hint of disappointment, but her face still had that expression of concern and anxiety. She immediately ran to An Lingge's side, and looked her up and down, as if she was worried about her sister.

The light in Mu Junhan's eyes became cold, and he pulled An Lingge a step back. Obviously, he did not want the two of them to come into contact.

An Lingxue's expression froze, she stretched out her hand and stopped in mid air, a look of grievance on her face: "I just wanted to see if big sister was injured, why is Hereditary Prince Mu on guard against me?"

An Lingyi was also very angry. Ever since she knew that the Jingdu Academy was going to undergo the test of Six Arts of Gentlemen, she had thought of a way to bribe the people who raised horses and scattered some medicine on the way to the cliff at the back of the mountain.

Originally, he planned to wait until An Lingge went up on stage, then quietly apply medicine on the horse's body, and the horse would follow the smell and run towards the back of the mountain, causing An Lingge to fall down the cliff and die a miserable death.

Unfortunately, Hereditary Prince Mu's reaction was too fast, and she had actually saved An Lingge so easily, allowing her scheme to go to waste.

An Lingyi secretly clenched her teeth, feeling that An Lingge, who was in her embrace, was very eyesore.

She also laughed and moved closer to An Lingge's side. "It's really great that big sister is fine, but Hereditary Prince Mu can let go now, to prevent others from talking too much."

Although the situation was urgent, which was why Mu Junhan was holding An Lingge, but now that she was fine, if Mu Junhan were to hold her, it would be unreasonable.

An Lingge then walked out of his embrace, her gaze landing on the two of them, a pair of pitch black eyes filled with cold intent, "Today's matter is all thanks to Hereditary Prince Mu, if not for him, I would have already become a soul at the bottom of the cliff."

She paused for a moment, then said to the teacher, "Whether it's for me or just an accident, the accident with the Jingdu Academy examination should be able to uncover the truth behind the sudden berserk of this horse, so everyone can be at ease."

Facing such a gaze, the smile on An Lingyi's face could not be held back, but An Lingxue was not affected at all, since what happened was not her doing, she was not afraid at all.

The teacher was scared to the point that he broke out in a cold sweat. He had only followed the emperor's instructions to investigate the background of the children of influential families. Who would have thought such a thing would happen?

Fortunately, the young miss of the Prince An's Palace was safe and sound. If she was really brought down the cliff by the horse, then the Jingdu Academy would not be able to continue on and the emperor would have to punish him for his crimes!

Thinking about this, he immediately responded loudly, "Don't worry Miss An. This is related to the safety of every student. Jingdu Academy will definitely investigate everything thoroughly."

Because of this matter, the Jingdu Academy Assessment had temporarily stopped, and the students had returned home even earlier than usual.

The moment he stepped out of the Jingdu Academy, An Lingxue no longer had that worried look on his face, and went into the carriage alone, leaving An Lingge behind.

An Lingge did not care about her fake and ever-changing attitude, as she sat in the carriage with her eyes closed, secretly thinking about the culprit behind this matter.

If one were to say that this matter was aimed at the entire Jingdu Academy's student population, it was just that her luck was bad and she had bumped into it, so it would definitely be impossible.

Everyone knew that the one behind the Jingdu Academy was the Emperor. He was the most respected and dignified person in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Thinking about it this way, there was only one possibility. It was the work of his own private enemy.

No matter what, the people with whom she had enmity with were only the Madam Li and her daughter, as well as An Lingxue.

However, although An Lingxue was used to feigning weakness to have sympathy, and also relied on the old lady's love, she had a certain position in the Palace. It had been a while since she had returned to the capital, and she didn't have the ability to find outsiders to frame her.

She returned to the residence and headed straight for the old mistress' courtyard.

"Why is the big girl back so early today?"

The old lady had felt somewhat guilty because of the matter that had hurt her that day, and now that she was facing An Lingge, her tone had softened quite a bit.

An Lingge's attitude became even more respectful, but it was a little less intimate, "Reporting to Grandmother, if the horses in question had problems, and if there were any problems with it, it would have cost me my life.

"There's actually such a thing?" The old lady was greatly shocked. This was a school opened by the emperor, and it had only been a few days, yet it had almost caused someone's death. It was too frightening.

It would not be good if the emperor blamed them.

The old mistress' expression changed a few times, but she could not show it on the surface. "But who was it that met with mishap? Are there any injuries?"

"My granddaughter's luck was bad, when she met the horse, it went crazy, and she was almost thrown off the cliff. Luckily, Hereditary Prince Mu saved her, and she was safe and sound." "It's precisely because something like this happened that my granddaughter thought of asking Grandmother if she could take two days off from school to allow my granddaughter to go out for a walk."

The old mistress' eyelids twitched. The young mistress of her residence was in trouble? If the Emperor were to blame the Prince An's Palace for this …

She could not bother about An Lingge's request and immediately asked for the details. After hearing everything, her face turned dark and she ordered the nanny beside her, "Go and call the few young misses over."

"My sisters were also frightened today. Why did Grandmother call them here?" An Lingge lowered her eyes, the usually calm and composed person seemed to be slightly afraid, "How about Grandmother allow me to take a leave of absence from the academy, and when things are clear, my granddaughter can go to the academy later."

She looked so frightened that she didn't dare to go to class, which angered the madame even more. It was one thing for the young ladies to have some of their own thoughts, but who wouldn't have some tricks up their sleeves at their age? However, this matter was about to lead to his death. He absolutely could not let it slide like this!

"Little Ge, don't worry. Grandmother will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly. The madame comforted her and urged her to fetch the ladies.

The one who protected An Lingxue was obviously the madame, and now that she had to avenge herself, it was the madame.

The corner of An Lingge's mouth raised, she already knew where the Old Mistress' bottom line was.

Not long after An Lingyi and the rest arrived at their own courtyard, they called for the people the Old Mistress had sent over.

She sneaked a peek at the madame's expression and was shocked by the scene before her.
