"It was my negligence that caused the Khatun to be injured. Please punish me, Khan!"
Uerzhuoma's voice came from far away, and after arriving in the hall, she knelt down with a thud.
Hu Yanji looked at her without changing his expression: "What happened?"
"In reply to the Khan, I was holding the reins and standing by Khatun's side at the riding arena. But then Khatun said he wanted to try riding a lap on his own, so I let go of the reins. Unexpectedly, unexpectedly..."
"Unexpected what? Tell me!"
Hu Yanji's tone became more serious, and he seemed to have lost his patience.
"Unexpectedly, when the Khatun was whipping the horse's butt, the whip deviated and hit himself..."
"Oh."
Hu Yanji chuckled lightly and was actually amused by Jiang Jingyu.
This woman is so stupid!!
"Khan, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have let go of the reins. I thought Khatun was incredibly clever and would have mastered the essentials of riding after just three days of training. But I didn't expect her to..."
Wuerzhuoma hesitated to speak, and deliberately hinted in front of Huyan Ji that Jiang Jingyu was stupid.
Hu Yanji didn't say anything, but stood up and walked out of the hall.
When Huyan Ji arrived at Changle Palace, Lu Wu was applying medicine to Jiang Jingyu. There was a hideous bloody wound on Jiang Jingyu's shoulder, which was originally as smooth as jade.
It looked horrifying.
Huyan Ji walked towards Jiang Jingyu with a sullen face, and the sarcastic words came to his lips but he could not say them anymore.
"This servant has met the Khan."
Lu Wu hurriedly put the ointment in her hand aside, stood up and bowed to Hu Yanji.
Jiang Jingyu's face was a little pale, and the mist in his eyes had not yet dissipated.
"I greet the Khan."
Jiang Jingyu was about to stand up and salute, but Hu Yanji stopped her in a deep voice: "No thanks."
"Thank you, Khan."
Jiang Jingyu moved to the side and patted the seat beside him: "Khan, please sit down."
Only then did Hu Yanji notice that her delicate hands were now wrapped in gauze.
He originally thought that the reins had only scratched his skin, but he didn't expect it to be so serious.
When he thought of the hands that had caressed his face and wiped his chest, now covered in bloody cuts, Huyan Ji felt an inexplicable sense of unease in his chest.
If he couldn't even protect a delicate woman, wouldn't people laugh at him, Hu Yanji, for being incompetent?
He pulled out a porcelain bottle from his sleeve and handed it to Jiang Jingyu: "Apply this, dissolve it before use."
Jiang Jingyu reached out to take it, but her hands were wrapped in bulky gauze and she couldn't bend them at all.
She looked at Hu Yanji pitifully and said in a soft voice, "It hurts."
Hu Yanji pursed his lips, took two steps forward and placed the porcelain bottle next to Jiang Jingyu.
He looked down at Jiang Jingyu and said in a deep voice, "Keep her for now. You'll have to eat at the bonfire feast."
Hu Yanji left Changle Palace with big strides after saying this. He didn't say a single word of what he had to say before coming here.
It was not until Huyan Ji's figure disappeared that Lu Wu came to the bed again. She picked up the ointment left by Huyan Ji and opened it. A clear medicinal fragrance immediately wafted out.
"Your Highness, this is medicine for wounds. The medicine sent by the Khan must be very effective. I will apply it to the princess right away!"
As Lu Wu said this, she sat down on the bedside again and carefully applied medicine to Jiang Jingyu's wound.
Jiang Jingyu was also busy, and took off the thick gauze wrapped around her hand.
Her hands were scraped and the skin was broken, but with the medicine in the system, it had almost healed.
The reason why she wrapped herself in gauze before Huyan Ji came was to pretend to be miserable in front of him.
Obviously, she succeeded in playing the victim and even got a bottle of excellent medicine.
Although the wound medicine is good, it needs to be spread back and forth with fingers to conduct heat in order to dissolve it.
"Your Highness, I see that the Khan is very concerned about your affairs and is not as cold and heartless as the outside world says."
Lu Wu talked about this while applying medicine to Jiang Jingyu's wound.
Ever since arriving in Mobei, Lu Wu has been worried every day that Hu Yanji will treat Jiang Jingyu as rumored.
The princess is delicate and can't stand the torture.
But now Huyan Ji sent medicine for the wound and hinted that Jiang Jingyu didn't have to force herself to do anything. Lu Wu, who saw it all, finally dispelled her worries.
Since the Khan is not as cold and heartless as rumored by the outside world, can she persuade the princess to shift her attention to the Khan?
It would be great if the two of them could fall in love with each other.
In this way, the princess will have someone to rely on for the rest of her life.
All she can bring to the princess is service and companionship, but Khan can become the princess's support and provide a roof over her head.
The more Lu Wu thought about it, the more she felt that this was a feasible plan, so she tried her best to use all the words to beautify Hu Yanji and try her best to flatter Jiang Jingyu.
At first Jiang Jingyu was still listening, but later her eyelids started to droop and she fell asleep with her head nodding.
…
After resting for two days, Jiang Jingyu went to the riding field again. This time, Wuerzhuoma was not with her. She only brought Luwu with her.
The guards at the riding field hurriedly reported the matter to Huyan Ji. Huyan Ji, who was reviewing the memorials, suddenly threw the memorials aside.
"You don't know what's good for you!"
The guard only felt a gust of wind passing in front of him, and when he raised his head again, Hu Yanji was no longer on the throne.
"Your Highness, why don't you just forget it?"
Lu Wu was worried that Jiang Jingyu would get worse injured, so she grabbed her sleeve.
"The bonfire feast is about to begin. As a Khatun, how could I possibly spoil everyone's fun? Don't worry, I know what to do."
Jiang Jingyu brushed away Lu Wu's hand, gave her a comforting look, then grabbed the reins and climbed onto the horse's back.
Under Lu Wu's worried gaze, Jiang Jingyu waved the reins and clamped his legs under the horse's belly to drive the horse forward.
At first she moved very slowly, and the horse followed her command and moved forward slowly. It went around the riding field for most of the time without any trouble.
Just when Lu Wu was about to breathe a sigh of relief, the originally docile horse suddenly became violent. With a neighing sound, the horse suddenly ran uncontrollably!
"Your Highness!"
"Someone come! Someone come quickly!"
Lu Wu screamed and hurried forward to chase the crazy horse.
"Khatun!"
The guards at the riding field had been paying attention to the situation here and immediately chased after the raised dust.
However, the mad horse was so fast that they couldn't catch up even if they used their lightness skills!
"Princess!"
Lu Wu's pupils suddenly shrank, and she staggered and fell to the ground!
Seeing that the horse was about to crash into the wall ahead——
At the critical moment, a mysterious figure flew over and sat steadily on the horse's back!
The reins were pulled by a strong force from behind, and the horse, which was originally charging recklessly, instantly raised its front hooves!
Hiss——
A shrill roar resounded through the sky, and smoke and dust rose up!
When the smoke and dust cleared, the crazy horse had calmed down and was standing steadily only an arm's length away from the wall!
Just as everyone was still in shock, an angry shout rang out from horseback.
"Who allowed you to come to the riding arena again? Are you trying to kill yourself?!"
