Many ideas flashed through Shen Tangning's mind: how to stop a runaway horse in the shortest amount of time?
It probably hit an obstacle and stopped on its own.
She stared ahead, her slightly narrowed eyes concealing a ruthless glint that no one knew. Since the other party wanted to stage an accident, she might as well do as he wished!
If a mad horse accidentally kills someone, it's unlikely that she should be held responsible.
As a child, Shen Tangning was afraid of falling and could never learn to ride a horse well. However, she was competitive in everything she did. In order to win her father's praise, she fell and got up again and again, not only learning beautiful horsemanship but also becoming quite skilled at riding horses.
Of course, she never heard a word of praise from Shen Chang, because he thought that learning these things was a waste of time and would be useless for getting married in the future.
"Get out of the way!"
Seeing Shen Tangning rushing towards them in a panic, the man cursed under his breath and pulled Yan Xingzhou aside, saying, "Your Highness, get out of the way!"
The two men tumbled to the side, their hooves following closely behind, kicking up clouds of dust.
"Cough cough..." Yan Xingzhou choked on some ash, bumped his head on the ground, and his old shoulder ached terribly. His face paled, and he got up with a gloomy expression. "Was this woman doing it on purpose?"
The man's expression was also grim. Just as he was about to say something, the sound of hooves approached again. He gritted his teeth and said, "Oh no, they're coming again!"
Shen Tangning clung tightly to the horse's neck, looking terrified. Her hair was disheveled, her eyes were red, and she seemed completely helpless. However, her aim was surprisingly good, and the horse carried her straight towards them!
Left with no other choice, the two began to flee in a disheveled state. The guards who rushed after them were also taken aback by the scene and were unsure of who to save!
Shen Tangning paid no attention to the man in blue; her entire focus was on the eunuch. Her eyes darkened.
The former Third Prince, relying on his royal lineage, treated human life like dirt. Now it's his turn to taste what it's like to be treated like dirt!
The mad horse was relentlessly pursuing him, and no matter which direction he went, he could not shake it off. Yan Xingzhou broke out in a cold sweat and secretly wondered if Shen Tangning had discovered his identity and was deliberately targeting him.
But that doesn't make any sense. In order to sneak in, he deliberately wore a human skin mask and tried not to speak. How could she recognize him?
Moreover, she anxiously reminded him from behind, her voice trembling with tears: "Father-in-law, I can't control this beast, please get away!"
Yan Xingzhou: "..."
He wants to hide, but where can he hide?
Wherever he ran, the horse followed, as if it had its sights set on him!
The screeching sound was right behind him. Panic shot through his heart, and he stumbled. Yan Xingzhou was instantly slammed several meters away by a powerful force until his body was stopped by a tree, at which point he crashed heavily to the ground!
His internal organs felt like they were being crushed, a tearing pain shot through him. Yan Xingzhou groaned, his vision went black, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Your Highness...!" The man in blue was still in shock, wanting to go forward to check but not daring to.
Just as Shen Tangning's lips were about to curl into a smile, she caught a glimpse of something and her expression changed slightly—
It turned out that someone had heard the commotion and came to help. They tied a rope to the path in front of her, trying to stop the horse in this way.
But in doing so, she would inevitably fall off. By then, it would be too late to turn around. The horse's front hooves were already caught on the rope, and its whole body was tilting forward uncontrollably!
Shen Tangning steeled her resolve and spotted a thick, horizontal branch ahead. She could only gamble on whether she could reach it…
However, the tree branch was too high, and even with all her might, she still fell short. The intense feeling of weightlessness made her heart almost leap out of her throat. She subconsciously closed her eyes, and the panicked sounds around her faded away.
