“Your Majesty, should there be a next life, this concubine wishes to never have met you, and to never see each other for all eternity.”
Yu Jingchen hated her, yet the last thing she did i...
Jiang Ji carefully examined the horses and found nothing wrong. Nan Zhiyun was quite relaxed, but just then, Yu Wan'er came over carrying a bell.
"Wan'er greets Consort Shu." Yu Wan'er bowed respectfully.
"Why are you here? And why are you carrying a bell?" Nan Zhiyun frowned. Although she had let her stay in He'an Palace before, she hadn't paid much attention to her. Nan Zhiyun felt that as long as she made sure the girl wasn't cold or hungry, that was enough. She didn't really care about anything else. She hadn't actually adopted her. She felt that doing this much was enough.
“Just now, Lingdang accidentally ran to my place. I originally wanted to bring Lingdang to find Consort Shu, but I heard from them that you weren’t in the room. I just met Consort Jing on the road. She said you were riding a horse here and told me to come directly to you, so I brought Lingdang here.” Yu Wan’er was still very timid, and her voice was very soft when she said these words.
Nan Zhiyun was about to speak when, as if provoked, the bell tried to break free from Yu Wan'er's grasp. It became extremely agitated, even scratching Yu Wan'er's face.
"Ah!" Yu Wan'er exclaimed, and the bell in her hand flew out instantly. She ran towards Nan Zhiyun with a clear goal, because the distance was relatively short.
So Nan Zhiyun didn't have time to react. Lingdang jumped onto the horse's back. Its claws were quite sharp. Grape was probably startled and became a little restless as well.
Jiang Ji quickly tried to control the horse, and Qian Xia, watching from the side, also wanted to help. But Grape suddenly let out a long neigh and then galloped off. Jiang Ji couldn't hold it back and was pulled to the ground by Grape.
"Your Highness!" Qianxia was terrified and immediately chased after her. The people there were also frightened by the sight. If anything happened to Consort Shu, none of them could bear the responsibility, so they hurried after her.
But Grape, for some unknown reason, was terrified and ran away very fast. Nan Zhiyun had never experienced anything like this before, and her face turned pale with fright. She didn't know what to do, so she could only hold Grape tightly.
Grape quickly ran into the jungle, which was the hunting grounds. Everyone knew something was wrong, so they hurried back to report to Yu Jingchen.
Grape has carried Nan Zhiyun quite far now, and there's no trace of anyone else behind. Nan Zhiyun is quite frightened; they're running so fast that she's almost losing her grip.
The woods were full of tangled branches, and Grape was running around on its own, oblivious to these things. Just as she was about to be hit by a gust of wind, Nan Zhiyun lost her grip and fell off her horse. Fortunately, the ground was covered with grass, so she wasn't thrown too hard.
However, because of the high speed, Nan Zhiyun felt unbearable pain all over her body when she was thrown down, and tears welled up in her eyes from the pain.
Nan Zhiyun looked around at the scenery with a sense of fear; she didn't know where she was. Grape had also vanished without a trace, leaving Nan Zhiyun feeling uneasy.
It took her a lot of effort to stand up, and just when she didn't know what to do, she saw a figure flicker in front of her.
Who was it? Nan Zhiyun thought they were looking for her, but the person seemed a little off. She didn't dare to speak, but quietly followed them anyway. She thought... if she followed them, she might find her way back.
