Zhao Yong, who was waiting nearby, quickly followed.
"Princess?"
Before Rong Qingqing could answer, Xie Jingrun lifted her onto the horse's back. Immediately afterward, Xie Jingrun's warm and broad chest pressed against her from behind, and his hands reached through her sides to pull on the reins.
"I will personally escort your princess back safely later." Xie Jingrun glanced at Zhao Yong, gave the order in a deep voice, and then suddenly shouted, and his horse galloped away at high speed.
Zhao Yong was startled and was about to give chase when Chang Feng walked over and stopped him.
"If I were you, I wouldn't chase after him, because you simply can't catch up."
Zhao Yong frowned. The prince had ordered him to stay so that he could protect the princess, but now, the princess was being taken away right in front of him.
Although that person was the crown prince, he still felt that he had failed in his duty.
Changfeng could tell what he was thinking just by looking at his face, and reminded him, "If nothing unexpected happens, your princess will soon marry our master, and Prince Su will not blame you."
Zhao Yong was taken aback.
Changfeng patted him on the shoulder. "Brother, you've got nothing to do anyway, and I'm free too. How about we go grab a drink together?"
Just as Zhao Yong was about to refuse, Changfeng interrupted him, pulling him back into Wangchun Tower.
The rushing wind made it hard for Rong Qingqing to open her eyes.
The steed beneath him galloped through the streets, leaving only a trail of afterimages in its wake.
Unlike the previous two times when someone helped her lead the horse, this time she truly experienced how fast a horse could run.
The feeling of speed was so intense that she felt as if she might be thrown off at any moment.
She instinctively reached out and tightly gripped Xie Jingrun's clothes.
Upon seeing this, Xie Jingrun changed to holding the reins with one hand and using the other to pull her into his arms.
The steed carried the two of them out of the city in no time.
After riding for an unknown amount of time, they reached an open space, where Xie Jingrun slowed down his horse and led her along at her own pace.
Rong Qingqing blinked, still somewhat dazed as she looked at the empty grassland in front of her.
When they reached a place with abundant water and grass, Xie Jingrun finally reined in his horse, released her, and jumped off.
Seeing this, Rong Qingqing was about to slide off the horse when the man's strong arm reached out first, grabbed her waist, and lifted her off the horse.
As her feet suddenly touched the ground, Rong Qingqing felt her legs go weak and she almost fell over, but Xie Jingrun caught her.
Rong Qingqing looked up at him, about to complain that he had been riding too fast, when he suddenly picked her up in his arms.
"Hey, why are you hugging me?" she couldn't help but exclaim.
"Aren't your legs weak and you unable to stand steadily?" Xie Jingrun looked down at her, picked her up, and quickly walked forward.
Rong Qingqing frowned, about to say something, when he had already carried her to a flat rock.
"Sit down for a while." Xie Jingrun leaned over and placed her on the rock, then sat down next to her.
This place is situated on higher ground, offering a panoramic view of the entire grassland, with the fiery red sunset on the horizon creating a breathtakingly beautiful scene.
Ignoring Xie Jingrun sitting next to her, Rong Qingqing was so captivated by the beautiful scenery before her that she murmured, "So beautiful!"
Upon hearing this, Xie Jingrun's lips curled slightly. Looking at the girl's delicate and beautiful profile, he approvingly said, "Yes, very beautiful!"
Rong Qingqing was oblivious. She turned her head and asked, "How did you know about this place?" Only after she finished speaking did she realize that he had been staring at her.
