Hongli knew Demin's character and wasn't worried at all. "Don't worry, he definitely won't say a word more than necessary."
"Don't worry about me, but I'm not."
"You won't kiss me, huh? Then I'll loosen the reins!" With that, Hongli released the reins, and Su Yushan was immediately terrified. "Hey, I can't control you! You have to hold on tight."
Hongli didn't say much, but pointed to his cheek again. Su Yushan was anxious, afraid that the horse would get out of control. Helpless, she could only raise her head and quickly kiss him on the cheek.
After receiving the kiss, Hongli was satisfied and a slight smile appeared on his lips. Su Yushan complained coquettishly, "You're so mean. You actually threatened me at a time like this. I should have known better than to learn it."
That's why he didn't negotiate beforehand: "If you're already on a pirate ship, you can't get off now! Too late!"
The two rode together on a horse, galloping across the grassland. The wind ruffled her hair and curved her lips into a smile. Since returning to the capital, she had not felt so carefree and joyful as she did today.
Staying in a secluded mansion for too long makes one's entire being, even one's soul, bound by rules, creating a sense of inexplicable oppression. Only when she is in the vast open world, running against the wind, can she experience the carefree joy of being unrestrained.
Looking at the radiant smile on the face of the woman in his arms, Hongli felt that anything he did for her was worthwhile. As long as she was happy, he was content.
After learning to ride a horse for half an hour, Su Yushan was a little tired. Hongli stopped by the lake, helped her off the horse, and walked towards the lake.
There was a boat on the lake in the distance. Hongli asked her if she wanted to take a boat ride. She suddenly remembered that year when she went boating on the lake with him, she saw Zheng Lin's figure at the bow of the boat, and the two of them even had an argument about it.
Recalling the unpleasant past, Su Yushan shook her head. "I get a little seasick and don't want to sit. It's fine to enjoy the scenery here."
Since she was unwilling, Hongli did not force her. He took her hand and strolled along the lake, enjoying the coolness of the lake breeze.
The two walked and talked, and Su Yushan enjoyed the peaceful moment, unconsciously humming a little tune.
Just as Hongli was about to ask her what she was singing, he suddenly heard a commotion on the lake in the distance. Hongli frowned and looked in the direction of the sound. He was shocked to see water splashing below the boat. At the same time, several men in black leaped out of the water and rushed towards the shore with swords in hand!
Upon seeing this, Su Yushan was stunned and wondered if she was seeing things. How could a scene like this, which only existed in movies and TV dramas, actually appear before her eyes!
What exactly is going on? Who is their target? She only has one enemy here, Kim Min-jung, but Kim Min-jung has gone mad and probably can't afford so many assassins. So their target must be—Hongli!
A prince, and someone dares to assassinate him! Don't they value their lives?
