"Phew …" Seeing the man running towards them, Zhang Fen tightened his foot on the horse's belly and pulled the reins tightly. The horse slowed down, and by the time Lian Meng Yue ran over, the horse had already stopped.
"Elder sister …" Lian Meng quickly jumped off from the horse and ran in front of Lian Lu Yue. He grabbed Lian Lu Yue's arm with both of his hands. His handsome face was filled with anxiety. "Are you alright?"
Lian Ru Yue shook her head as she wiped off the sweat on Lian Fu's forehead and said, "Yi'er, I'm fine. Ninth Prince helped me and I'm fine."
"Little girl, what's going on?" At this side, Feng Ye also jumped off his horse and walked a few steps over, worriedly looking at Lian Ruyue. "How can a horse suddenly go crazy when it's perfectly fine?"
Lian Ru Yue shook her head and said, "I don't know what happened either, but fortunately, everything is fine now." She did not intend to tell anyone the truth before she had made up her mind. There were many things, and the fewer people who knew, the better.
Feng Yunzheng walked over and cupped his hands and bowed to Feng Ye, saying, "Eighth Prince brother."
"Ninth Royal Brother, are you alright?" Feng Ye spent a great deal of time with him, and in the end, his gaze fell upon the bandage on his palm. It was obvious that this was a handkerchief belonging to a girl. His heart suddenly felt a little disappointed.
"Thank you, eighth prince, brother, I'm fine." Feng Yunzheng replied.
"It's getting late. The news of you all being taken away by horses has been spread throughout the entire hunting grounds. Even your father has asked about it. Hurry up and go back, lest you cause any trouble." Feng Ye swallowed his discomfort and said.
"The eighth prince's words are reasonable, let's go back quickly." Lian Fu brought the horse over, saying, and then he helped Lian Ruyue onto the horse, while he himself mounted on the other horse. With the lesson from before, he didn't dare let go, and tightly held onto the reins of her horse.
"Your Highness, your horse."
A guard walked over and respectfully handed a bay horse over to Feng Yunzheng. Feng Yunzheng jumped onto the horse and followed behind Lian Ruyue and Lian Fu as they ran into the hunting grounds. The horse kicked up a thick cloud of dust behind him.
Feng Ye was at the back. He turned his head and looked into the depths of the forest. A thoughtful look flashed through his eyes.
When he turned his head back, he saw Lian Ruyue's back that was gradually leaving him, and his normally vicious eyes unknowingly darkened.
Why?
Lian Fu is your little brother, so he has no scruples in front of you. You treat him so well and patiently.
Fourth brother has a wicked heart toward you, you treat him coldly, the malicious words, but it is still a living you;
The Nine Emperor's younger brother and you, the prince of An Country, have unknowingly approached you. Today, you have saved him on the hunting grounds, and there is already a tacit understanding between you and him that others cannot see through.
As for me, you have never revealed your intentions to me. You are so courteous and respectful, I can't see through your heart, and you even intentionally hid things from me …
Why!
Feng Ye held onto the reins with his hand and exerted his strength secretly. When the horse felt unwell, he raised his head and let out a hiss — —
Only then did he lift the horsewhip and throw it onto the horse's back. He then galloped in the direction he had come from, and the expression on his face became even deeper in the darkness.
In the distance, even Moon could see that the torches and bonfires on the hunting grounds were already on fire. People began to hurriedly prepare for the arrival of the banquet.
There were also many people waiting at the door, roughly waiting for their return. They wanted to see what was going on, but there were still others who were looking forward to it. For example, Lian Yanqing, Princess Eleven, and … The Xiao siblings were intentionally standing in an unremarkable position.
"Yi'er, Qi Feng is dead …" Lian Ruyue looked at the spell on the steed beside her, and said with a heavy voice.
Qi Feng was a horse that accompanied him for many years, a companion of his. He felt a little uncomfortable, but he still said, "It's good that big sister is fine. When Qi Feng came, she was fine, but she suddenly went crazy and died, someone must have done something to her! I won't let those two go! "
"Yue Er …" Are you alright … " When the horse finally stopped at the entrance of the hunting grounds, Lian Yan Qing, who had been waiting for a long time, hastily came up to greet them.
"Eldest Miss!" Qingdai and Dai Xiang rushed over, and Qingdai, with tears all over her face, helped her off the horse.
With the support of a servant girl, Lian Ru Yue walked to the front of Lian Yan Qing and bowed, saying, "I've made father worry. Daughter is fine, everything is fine."
When Lian Yan Qing saw that she was indeed safe and sound, the weight in his heart finally dropped, and he reminded her, "It's good that nothing happened. Go back to your tent and properly prepare yourself. Now that the emperor and empress and the empress know about today's matter, they might pay attention to you during the banquet. Be careful."
He had thought it through. This daughter of his was an extremely precious one. Rather than keeping it in the mansion and hiding it, it was better for him to attend more of these kinds of occasions.
Soon after, he even jumped down from his horse. When he saw Princess Eleven standing there, he paused for a moment before opening his mouth and saying, "I …"
"Humph!" Feng Lingyue, on the other hand, snorted coldly at him and gave him a disdainful glare. Then, she ran in the direction of Feng Yunzheng and Feng Ye. "Eighth brother, Ninth brother …"
Lian Meng stood on the spot. Seeing her contemptuous look, that bit of guilt was like a flame that had been extinguished by water. 'Chi!'
He disdainfully turned around to leave, no longer paying attention to the brutal princess!
"Brother, didn't you say that the Ninth Prince is trash? Why is he everywhere! It's him again! " Xiao Rou said indignantly as she watched Lian Rue return safe and sound.
"It was originally as he said. His mufei was deposed and he lost all power. I heard that he spent his days at home writing and writing, listening to all sorts of voices. Who would've thought that he was fine!?" Xiao Shan also did not expect that, with this plan, he would secretly put ephedra, asarum, aconite, and licorice in the horse feed and eat them with sudden excitement. Then, he would lead the horse towards the direction of the moon and trample it to death!
Who would have thought that it would all be for nothing?
While she was thinking, Lian Ru Yue had already walked over. When she passed by them, she stopped and slowly looked at Xiao Rou.
Xiao Rou felt her head go numb. She swallowed her saliva and pretended to be calm as she said, "Lian Rue, your majesty really did come looking for you and disturbed the entire hunting grounds!"
Lian Ruyue's lips curved into a faint smile as she said, "It was all thanks to someone."
"..." "You!" Xiao Rou wanted to say something, but was stopped by Xiao Shan. He said to Lian Ru Yue, "It's good that you returned safely. Otherwise, you wouldn't be able to hold the banquet tonight."
"Heh …" Lian Ruyue chuckled, no longer paying attention to the two siblings. She turned around, but her expression was like winter's ice!
"First Miss Lian, esteemed wangfei Xuan invited you." Lian Ru Yue was about to bend down and enter the tent when two mama walked over, bowed to her, and said.
