Chapter 99 She Has the Emperor as Her Backer
Then, the woman's scream broke through the sky, even louder than when she was hanging on the cliff just now.
Li Chengxun and the guards all ran over.
Ji Qingwu turned around in surprise and exclaimed: "Your Highness..."
Princess Qingyun happened to fall into a large pile of feces of an unknown beast.
This shocking scene made Li Chengxun unable to help but take a step back. Several guards were stunned for a moment and hurried over to help the princess up.
The delicate princess had never touched this thing in her life. Not only was her body shaking, but even the flesh on her face was shaking.
Ji Qingwu pursed the corners of his lips, suppressing the upward curve. It was indeed a refreshing feeling to get revenge on the spot.
At this time, she saw more and brighter flames gathering towards this side not far away.
Ji Qingwu covered the half of her face that was hit by Qingyun with her hands and said, "Your Highness, your horse was frightened and I saved you, but Your Highness wants to repay kindness with hatred. I don't know what I did wrong."
Princess Qingyun pointed at her, her hands shaking, and wanted to say something angrily.
The sound of horse hooves was getting closer and closer. When Li Chengxun and his guards saw the people coming, they immediately knelt down to greet them.
Emperor Wu Su was wearing a dark black collarless riding and archery suit with horseshoe sleeves, with dragon patterns on the cuffs and lapels, and a thin white armor on the outside. In the bag on the horse's back hung a jet-black longbow and a cluster of white-feathered arrows.
Ji Qingwu changed from a sitting position to a kneeling position, and knelt with everyone else to welcome the emperor. She had just guessed who the person coming would be.
Only when she saw that it was really him coming did she feel truly relieved.
Emperor Wu Su's men gently pulled the reins, the sound of horse hooves slowed down, and the horse stopped beside Ji Qingwu. He glanced at the scene, and then frowned and said, "Qingyun, what's wrong with you?"
The princess was covered in filth. Someone handed her a handkerchief, but the more she wiped, the dirtier she became.
Li Chengxun did not approach her either, not knowing whether it was because of the princess's bad temper or the stench on her body.
Seeing that everyone's eyes were on her, Princess Qingyun angrily and anxiously accused Ji Qingwu, "It's all your fault. You dared to seduce the prince consort in front of me. Do you take me seriously?"
Emperor Wu Su sat high on his horse, ignoring the people kneeling on the ground.
He ignored Qingyun's crying.
His eyes fell on the woman kneeling in the grass.
Her hair, which was tied up high, had become loose, with a few strands scattered irregularly on the sides of her face. Her riding clothes were also scratched in several places, and her fair skin was vaguely visible at her knees.
Probably because he rolled on the ground, his face was covered with dirt, and a few green leaves from the small tree on the cliff were scraped on his head.
The only thing left of Ji Qingwu's eyes was still sparkling, and his emotions seemed relatively stable.
Suddenly, a man's sneering voice came from behind Emperor Wu Su. Ji Qingwu looked carefully and found that Yuchi Lianping and Eunuch Li were accompanying him.
Princess Qingyun said indignantly: "What are you laughing at!"
Yuchi Lianping looked around the scene. There were at least a dozen guards who had arrived earlier.
He said, "Princess, please be careful with your words. How can you call it seduction in front of so many people? Most likely, Princess is mistaken."
Princess Qingyun immediately retorted: "Your Highness has very good eyesight, and I am sure you will not be wrong."
Seeing the black stuff on her chest and waist, Yuchi Lianping couldn't bear it anymore.
He laughed loudly and said, "Princess, you should wipe off the cow dung on your body first before you say this. If anyone has good eyesight, he will fall into the dung pile and fall flat on his face!"
Princess Qingyun stamped her feet in anger, but this man was the consort of Princess Huachang and her elder brother-in-law, so she dared not say anything.
She then directed her attack at Ji Qingwu who was standing beside her.
"Fifth cousin, tell me what you did just now!"
The corners of Yuchi Lianping's mouth almost turned behind his ears in silence.
Everyone present could see that the emperor was in a bad mood, with a face darker than the gloomy sky. And yet Princess Qingyun was still here, acting mad and confused.
Before half an incense stick.
Emperor Wu Su did not participate in today's hunting. He was practicing the Eight Diagrams of Military Formation in the big tent, while Yuchi Lianping was guarding the tent.
When the secret guard came to report that Princess Qingyun had encountered a ferocious beast, the emperor's expression remained calm.
He drew the Zhengzhen and Kundi formations with his imperial brush without any error, and ordered people to notify Li Chengxun to bring the guards to rescue them, as it would be useless for him to go there.
Not long after, someone from the Imperial City Bureau came to report that Miss Ji Wu and the princess were in danger on the cliff.
Emperor Wu Su paused with his brush, and the ink stained the beige silk...
They came in a hurry. Along the way, the emperor looked tense and his eyes were terrifying. Even Yuchi Lianping didn't dare to say much.
After crossing the paddock and approaching the cliff, I saw a red figure squatting in the green grass, hugging his knees, covering his face, and saying something.
The overwhelming pressure from Emperor Wu Su finally subsided.
Yuchi Lianping looked at Ji Qingwu strangely at this time.
The delicate fifth daughter of the Ji family had suffered so much, and she seemed to be arguing with reason before they came.
But when they came, he didn't say a word when he was accused, and his big, bright black eyes turned back and forth, and no one knew what he was thinking about.
Are you scared?
With such a powerful backer as Emperor Wu Su in front of her, if she doesn't lean on him quickly, what is she waiting for?
Ji Qingwu was indeed thinking about other things.
She knew in her heart why Princess Qingyun made such a fuss. It was simply because Li Chengxun saved her first, and she was jealous and resentful. A girl of this age regards love as more important than anything else.
But if she continues to make trouble like this, she won't be able to clear herself even if she jumps into the Yellow River.
She didn't want to be misunderstood by everyone, especially by the person who was staring at her solemnly.
If the emperor mistakenly thought that I had some affair with Li Chengxun...
Ji Qingwu felt a chill all over his body.
Last time, because Li Chengxun hugged her after getting drunk, Emperor Wu Su took the opportunity to get very angry.
She suppressed other emotions. Perhaps Princess Qingyun was hanging a little above her at the time and couldn't see her situation.
Ji Qingwu explained this misunderstanding with a clear mind.
"Your Highness, after we rolled down the cliff, the tree I was holding onto was not as lush as yours. The roots of the smaller tree had loosened and were about to fall off. That's why Lord Li pulled me up first. It's not like you think there's a love affair between us."
After listening to Ji Qingwu's explanation, Li Yuzong also became frightened.
Not only because he knew that she had just experienced an extremely dangerous incident and almost lost her life, but also because of the gloomy expression of the emperor beside her.
Emperor Wu Su's frown deepened.
The princess had lost her mind, was burning with jealousy, and began to speak without thinking.
"That's your fault too!"
Ji Qingwu almost lost her life in order to save her. Even though she didn't expect Qingyun to be grateful to her, she didn't expect to hear the words "damn it" after being slapped in the face.
If there were no other people around, Ji Qingwu really wanted to push this little princess, who had only love in her mind, into the dung pile to let her wake up.
But now, apparently there is a better way.
