Chapter 145 From now on I will be your stepmother
In order to protect the dignity of the eldest princess, the guards refused to kneel, but they were dizzy and dazed by the pressure. They were forced to kneel by the shoulders and necks.
However, this pressure had no effect on Ye Xiaoman, as Xiao Chujing had covered her with layer upon layer of defensive magic weapons.
She still stood straight.
Ji Wenyi looked at her politely, "Gong Jieyu has some backbone."
Ye Xiaoman didn't want to cause trouble, so she explained gently, "Your Highness, I'm new to the Divine Realm and don't quite understand the local customs. Please forgive me if I've offended you."
Ji Wenyi had a gentle smile on his face, which looked sinister in Ye Xiaoman's eyes.
"Why should I forgive you?"
Ye Xiaoman: "We are going to be a family in the future. There is no need to make the atmosphere so awkward."
Ji Wenyi's smile deepened, and his tone became softer, "A family?"
Ye Xiaoman carefully considered each word: "In terms of seniority, you should call me little mother."
She looked at him lovingly and said, "From now on, I will love you as my own son."
After Ye Xiaoman finished speaking, Ji Wenyi stopped talking.
The attendants accompanying Ji Wenyi were frightened by her words.
The number one guard who had just scolded her for being "bold" with full energy, his lips trembling, unable to utter a word, and directly led everyone to kneel on one knee.
This atmosphere made Ye Xiaoman even more nervous.
The jade ruyi in Ji Wenyi's hand turned into powder.
He opened his palm, and the powder in his palm drifted away with the wind.
"You are just a humble concubine, yet you are so arrogant."
Ye Xiaoman was speechless and asked the maid in a secret voice.
How did I offend him?
The maid's voice was trembling and about to break apart.
Please stop talking.
[The Crown Prince's biological mother is the late Empress Shotoku.]
When you say you want to be his mother, you mean you are on par with his biological mother.
Ye Xiaoman: [I'm talking about my stepmother... Do you upper-class people have to be so sensitive?]
The sound of horse hooves came from far away.
This place is only two miles away from the city gate.
The official road has been cleared, there are no people or vehicles, the road is wide and accessible in all directions.
Therefore, a group of horses galloped over with their hooves raised high, looking very imposing.
The horses recognized their master and, upon seeing Ji Wenyi, they obediently slowed down and gathered towards him.
Ye Xiaoman saw that there was a rope tied behind more than a dozen horses, and a person was tied to the end of the long rope.
The horse was running in front and the man was dragging behind it, leaving a spreading, shocking trail of blood on the ground.
Those people were dragged until their robes were torn and their skin was torn. They were completely silent and no one knew whether they were dead or alive.
The scene was quite terrifying.
Ye Xiaoman barely recognized these unlucky guys through the family crests on the saddles. They were the Praefectus Urbi who had been riding in the downtown area a while ago, and his subordinates.
There will always be evil people to deal with evil, they probably bumped into Ji Wenyi.
Ji Wenyi could tie up a general guarding the capital and drag him behind his horse, let alone a little concubine.
Ye Xiaoman finally smelled the scent of death. She immediately gave up all her moral principles and said earnestly:
"Your Highness, I was blind to the truth. I kneel, I kneel now."
Ji Wenyi's men walked up, pulled the horse's reins, and untied the person being dragged behind the horse.
One by one, the unlucky guys rolled down the valley.
With the corpse dumping scene as the background, Ji Wenyi looked at Ye Xiaoman in surprise and said with a gentle smile:
"Don't panic, Concubine Gong. Since I'm here to welcome you into the palace, I'll ensure you arrive safely in the imperial capital."
Ye Xiaoman felt that she was being lifted up by an invisible force.
She was thrown onto the horse's back.
The horse's body was covered in blood, and before it could be cleaned, her snow-white skirt was stained red.
Ye Xiaoman panicked: "What are you doing?"
The maids screamed and begged, "Your Highness, our master is young and inexperienced, please..."
A flash of knife appeared in Ji Wenyi's sleeve, and a short blade emerged.
He indifferently stabbed the knife into the horse's butt.
The horse felt pain, let out a long neigh, raised its hooves high, and ran forward like mad.
Ye Xiaoman was almost thrown off the horse and died. She screamed in fear and hugged the horse's neck tightly.
She looked back in panic and heard Ji Wenyi say leisurely:
"See you in hell."
Damn it, is it necessary to target her like this?
The horse galloped madly towards the city gate.
It was in a rage, swinging its tail and body violently, trying to push Ye Xiaoman on its back to the ground and trample her to death.
The speed was so fast that the scenery on both sides became a blur.
Ye Xiaoman cursed Ji Wenyi's ancestors in her heart, her heart almost jumping out of her throat, and her men did not dare to relax at all.
She clamped her feet against the horse's belly and kept making "hush-hush" sounds to soothe the crazy horse.
Unfortunately, it doesn't work.
There is only one last way left, to kill Crazy Horse.
She immediately wanted to summon the sword of life, but found that Ji Wenyi had sealed her cultivation.
At the end of the straight official road, the city gate is in sight.
In front of the city gate, there was a long line of people waiting to register to enter the city.
Crazy Horse rushed forward, the crowd cursed and dodged, and the team was scattered.
The commotion attracted the attention of the general defending the city.
The monk in charge of maintaining order flew into the air, waving a flag and pointing at Ye Xiaoman on horseback.
He used voice transmission to sternly warn her: "Stop immediately! Anyone who trespasses into the imperial capital will be killed without mercy."
When Ye Xiaoman heard the sound of a bow being drawn, she quickly looked up. This sight frightened her to the point of almost losing her soul.
I saw a group of soldiers on the city wall had already drawn their bows, with the arrows shining with cold light, all aimed at her, waiting for the order to pierce her like a hedgehog.
Ye Xiaoman yelled, "My horse can't stop!"
The monk ignored her argument and said sternly, "This is your last warning. If you don't dismount, I'll kill you without mercy!"
Ye Xiaoman kept cursing Ji Wenyi as a beast.
He sincerely wanted to kill her.
He calculated clearly and knew that she would not be able to stop her crazy horse. He also calculated that she would be pierced by thousands of arrows from the monks guarding the city because she crashed into the city gate.
She just accidentally said something wrong and offended him.
As a typical demon, Sikong Qing is not as careless about human life as he is.
Ye Xiaoman did not give up on life. She thought quickly and freed one hand to take out the Qiankun bag in her arms.
She wanted to take out something that the animals liked to eat. The horse ate grass, so she fed it with magical herbs.
I don't know if it will be useful, but I'd better give it a try instead of just sitting there and waiting to die.
In a panic, she pulled out a long piece of grass, without even looking at what it was or whether it was valuable, and stuffed it into the horse's mouth.
"Uncle Ma, please control your temper."
She felt the horse's breath on her wrist, and she retracted her hand in fear. The horse sniffed the grass in her hand and suddenly stopped its crazy pace.
Ye Xiaoman's body bounced up on the horse's back and she almost fell off the horse.
The horse rolled its tongue and ate the bunch of grass in her hand into its mouth.
The magical herb probably suited the horse's taste. There was a knife stuck in its butt and it was bleeding, but it chewed it and gradually slowed down its pace, savoring the delicious taste intoxicatedly.
