"To reply esteemed Empress, it's the young lady of the Prime Minister's Estate, Lian Rubing, who has been frightened by a fierce horse. The princes saw her and ran over to save her." That Xu mama stepped forward and answered.
"Oh? Your highness, you all went to save them? " Consort Xuan's bright eyes couldn't help but gaze into the distance as she softly asked, "Did the four halls save them even after going down?"
"Yes, the 4th Prince went as well." Xu mama replied.
"Oh." That man had always been cold and unfeeling. Because he had a goal that was difficult for ordinary people to reach, he didn't care about other people's business, and he had never cared about other people's business, let alone this kind of matter where a hero saved a beauty in broad daylight. What was going on today? Could Lian Ruyue have something extraordinary about her?
"If Lian Ruyue is safe and sound, send her to see me." Before she turned around and entered the tent, she once again turned around to look in the direction of Feng Qianyue. A barely noticeable coldness flashed through her gentle eyes. "If I die, then there's no need to speak any further."
The horses ran faster, and as they got closer and closer to the cliff, more and more people gathered at the hunting grounds. Soon, the news spread throughout the entire hunting grounds, even the Queen and Xu Xian who were resting in their tents heard of it and sent people out to investigate.
Seeing the speed of the horse, everyone's heart tightened in their throats.
With a gloomy face, Lian Yan Qing secretly clenched his fist.
Yue'er's life was extremely precious, nothing could happen to her!
"They're here." Feng Yunzheng turned around and saw Feng Ye and Feng Qianyue chasing after them. Lowering his body, he whispered into Lian Ruyue's ear.
Lian Rue turned her head and looked over Feng Yunzheng's shoulder — —
"Tactics …" she whispered.
And Feng Ye, and … Feng Qianyue!
Her heart couldn't help but shiver as an uncomfortable feeling overcame her! Why did he chase up to that person? It was extremely unappetizing just looking at it!
"Sit tight!" Feng Yunzheng suddenly had a thought that he didn't want to stop and wanted to keep running forward.
The two of them leaned back at the same time, almost lying on the back of the horse. The horse's front hooves were immediately raised high, and it shifted with the strength of Feng Yunzheng's underling!
Just as the horse was about to set its hooves on the edge of the cliff, it suddenly turned around and galloped towards the depths of the forest!
Due to the sudden incident, there was no time to quickly turn the horse's head. By the time the horse turned around, Feng Yunzheng and Lian Ruyue had already rushed into the depths of the forest and disappeared!
The sound of the horse's hooves became smaller and smaller!
"Phew!" Feng Ye tightened the horse's belly and pulled the reins. The horse was still on its hooves, and Feng Qianyue's horse soon arrived.
Both of them were equally tense, their brows lightly knitted together.
Without any hesitation, he turned the horse around and gave chase.
That horse is his mount, it's fine, how could it suddenly go out of control? There must be an inside story. He had to catch up, only he could control it!
"Chase!" Feng Ye also turned his horse around and ran deeper into the forest.
Feng Qianyue hesitated for a moment before chasing after him as well.
The horse broke into the forest and continued to run uncontrollably. The bumpy mountain road was very hard to walk on, but the horse continued to run unhindered.
"Are you afraid?" On the rugged mountain path, Feng Yunzheng tightly embraced Lian Rongyue's body and asked. That low and deep aura lingered in her ears, causing her cheeks and ears to feel a little stiff.
"Not afraid." Lian Ruyue confidently shook her head.
Feng Yunzheng's face revealed a smile. The wind brushed against their cheeks, the fragrance lingered in their noses, and the birdsong resounded in their ears.
I wish that time would always be at this moment, and that the horses would continue to run until the end of time, when no one could stop them.
Lian Meng rode his horse into the forest, but he did not see Feng Yunzheng or Lian Ruyue. Feng Qianyue and Feng Ye, who followed closely behind, also stopped —
In front of him was an open field, but there wasn't even a shadow to be seen. Looking in every direction, he couldn't see the two figures either.
"Looks like I have to mobilize the guards to search for him!" Feng Ye said with a solemn expression.
"The Ninth Emperor's younger brother is quite strange. He doesn't seem to care about the future of his concubine and himself at all. He seems to have been able to see him everywhere recently." When Feng Qianyue spoke of Feng Yunzheng, a stifled feeling arose in his heart.
Feng Ye turned around and glanced at Feng Qianyue, then said indifferently, "Strange, why does Fourth Brother seem to be very angry? Are you very familiar with that girl?"
"…" Feng Qianyue was stunned, and only now did he realize that he wasn't able to hide himself well because of Lian Rue. He paused before continuing, "That's Lian Fang's daughter."
With that, he turned the horse around and headed out of the forest.
"Eighth Prince, my sister is riding on my horse. There must be a hidden reason behind why she suddenly went crazy!" Lian Meng said with a frown on his face.
"Lian Fang, don't worry, I'll send some men to look for him right now. Besides, he'll be safe with Ninth Royal Brother here!"
The ninth prince, Feng Yunzheng, and the eldest daughter of the Residence simultaneously disappeared from the forest like the moon!
The 4th Prince, 8th Prince, and even the Young Master of the Lian family went in person but didn't find anyone. After exiting the forest, the 8th Prince sent people to search again. He even led his people and went into the woods with his son.
This news quickly spread throughout the entire hunting grounds, and even the Emperor was inquiring about this matter.
After running for who knows how long, the horse finally slowed down when it reached the deepest part of the forest.
Feng Yunzheng saw the opportunity. With one arm around Lian Rongyue's waist, he steadily descended from the horse's back. The horse's four limbs suddenly became weak, and its entire body collapsed onto the ground.
It twitched on the ground, its mouth wide open, foaming at the mouth, its eyes bulging to the size of a bronze mausoleum.
"This is my younger brother, Yi'er's horse. It is usually very docile, but it suddenly went crazy today. There must be something wrong with it." Lian Ruyue said while squatting on the ground and carefully looking at the horse's mouth.
Perhaps it was because it ran too fast, but due to the unbearable fatigue, the dying horse even vomited out a mouthful of food.
Feng Yunzheng slightly frowned. "There's something wrong with what it eats. Look, what are these?"
Lian Ruyue took a stick from the side and moved the piece of food. There was a piece of licorice inside the piece of food. "licorice, ephedra, asarum, aconite …"
"Why would there be these Chinese medicine in a good horse feed?" Feng Yunzheng asked as he counted the names of the herbs.
Lian Ruyue threw away the stick in her hand, took the handkerchief and wiped her hands; her face showed an expression as cold as water, "When these herbal medicines are mixed together, if a person ate it, they would probably be too excited to close their eyes for three days and three nights."
