At that moment, the little red horse neighed, and its four hooves rose into the air, galloping madly like an arrow, completely losing its mind. No matter how hard Ling Mohui tried to pull the reins, she could not stop it from running wildly.

There was a sudden cry of surprise from the crowd: "Oh no! Madam Fu's horse is frightened!"

"It's too dangerous! Go help!"

Worry and fear were revealed on everyone's faces as they stared intently at the out-of-control horse carrying Ling Mohui off the track and into the dense woods nearby.

Although Ling Mohui tried her best to remain calm, she could not control her inner panic. She called out loudly to the little red horse, hoping to bring back its lost mind, but the only responses she got were the sound of the wind echoing in the woods and the noise of horse hooves crushing dead leaves.

Seeing this, Fu Yansheng and Wei Ruoming rode their horses without hesitation and followed closely behind. The two mounts were as fast as the wind and lightning, tightly biting the out-of-control little red horse.

Fu Yansheng's voice penetrated the forest and reached Ling Mohui's ears clearly: "Ling Mohui, stay steady and don't be nervous!"

His calm tone was like a warm current, making Ling Mohui feel a sense of security at the critical moment.

"Try to pull on the reins slowly!"

He continued to instruct, his voice firm and calm.

Ling Mohui pulled the reins hard in panic, but her hands felt empty. The horse's speed did not slow down at all. She couldn't help but shake her head in despair: "No, it's useless!"

At this critical moment, Fu Yansheng's figure appeared behind her like a god sent from heaven, and Ling Mohui felt a moment of peace on the brink of life and death.

He decisively snatched the whip and reins from Ling Mohui's hands, trying to tame the out-of-control horse with his profound riding skills.

However, fate did not seem to let them off easily.

Just when Fu Yansheng was trying his best to control the little red horse, a steep cliff suddenly appeared in front of him. It was bottomless and daunting.

Ling Mohui was so frightened that she almost fainted and screamed, "Fu Yansheng! There's a cliff ahead!"

Faced with such a dangerous situation, Fu Yansheng's face suddenly changed, but he did not hesitate for a moment, knowing that any hesitation at this moment would lead to eternal damnation.

He tried with all his might to pull the reins one last time, but failed.

At the critical moment of life and death, he made a decisive decision, hugged Ling Mohui, and the two jumped off the galloping horse together.

They rolled several times in the grass before they managed to keep their balance. They looked at each other in shock, feeling lucky to have escaped.

Soon, Wei Ruoming also rode to the scene, only to see that the little red horse had disappeared under the cliff, leaving only the empty sky and dust floating on the edge of the cliff.

Fortunately, although Ling Mohui and Fu Yansheng had multiple scratches on their bodies, they were not seriously injured.

The three were preparing to return, when halfway through the journey they heard the sound of rumbling hooves and rising dust in the distance, and a fully armed team was galloping towards them.

They were wearing iron armor and holding spears.

The leading knight in the team had sharp eyes and spotted Ling Mohui and others at a glance. He immediately raised the command flag and signaled the team to stop.

"What happened to this horse today? It's usually so docile, why did it suddenly go crazy?"

Yuan Fangfang's face was filled with worry as she gently stroked the shivering foal in her arms. The foal's eyes seemed to still contain some lingering fear from the shock it had just experienced.

She turned to look at Ling Mohui beside her, expecting an answer.

Ling Mohui had just struggled back from the brink of life and death. She was now physically and mentally exhausted, and her face was as pale as paper. In response to Yuan Fangfang's question, she just shook her head slightly, unable to speak.

Seeing this, Yuan Fangfang realized that this was not the time to discuss in detail, so she stopped asking questions, but silently supported Ling Mohui and carefully helped her get on the carriage.

Afterwards, Fu Yansheng followed closely and sat in the car.

After all, he had just risked his life to save Ling Mohui. Although she had many doubts and complicated emotions in her heart, she was too embarrassed to force this savior out of the car at this moment.

The atmosphere in the carriage was silent and depressing, with only the slight sound of the wheels rolling over the gravel road echoing in the air.

Ling Mohui leaned against the wall of the carriage, closed her eyes and concentrated, trying to calm the turmoil in her heart.

The more she thought about it, the more she felt that the little red horse's madness this time was no accident. Various signs intertwined in her mind, like a puzzle that gradually became clear.

She couldn't help but recall Zhang Xiyue's expression when she walked out of the stable.

There was a strange light flashing in those hidden eyes, and an imperceptible sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Although some doubts flashed through her mind at that time, she never expected that Zhang Xiyue would be so cruel and ruthless, setting a trap deliberately to kill her.

However, there was no way to verify it, and she did not have any solid evidence to expose the conspiracy.

Thinking of this, Ling Mohui's eyes couldn't help but dim, and the trace of gratitude that had just arisen in her towards Fang Yansheng instantly melted away.

She knew very well that the grudges and entanglements in this world were far more complicated than she had imagined, and human hearts were even more difficult to guess.

The carriage slowly stopped at the city gate. After the soldiers guarding the city verified their identities, the heavy city gate slowly opened and the carriage drove into the city.

Ling Mohui looked out the car window, watching the familiar street scenes pass by one by one, feeling mixed emotions.

After a moment, she whispered to the driver, "Stop."

The driver pulled the reins in response, and the carriage slowly stopped by the roadside.

"You are still injured. Where are you going?" Fu Yansheng's voice sounded in the car, with a hint of calm concern.

"I want to go out for a walk. I feel suffocated staying in the car." Ling Mo answered briefly and firmly without further explanation.

After saying that, she opened the car door and walked toward the street alone in the moonlight.

Fu Yansheng frowned slightly, quite puzzled by Ling Mohui's behavior.

This woman is really ungrateful. I just saved her life and she turned around and treated me coldly.

But he did not say anything to stop her. He just silently watched Ling Mohui's back getting farther and farther away, with a barely perceptible worry flashing in his eyes.

……

Ling Mohui walked alone on the street. The night breeze blew gently, taking away some of the day's fatigue.

In the dim lights, the hustle and bustle of the city interweaves into a unique nocturne, soothing her wounded heart.

Suddenly she heard someone calling her name, the voice was familiar and kind.

She looked back and saw Wei Ruoming riding a majestic white horse, walking slowly towards her.

"Ling Mohui, why are you here alone?" Wei Ruoming was slightly surprised. He looked back and forth at Ling Mohui. He clearly remembered seeing Fu Yansheng get on the carriage with her.

"Did he leave you alone?"

Wei Ruoming asked doubtfully, his eyebrows slightly raised, obviously puzzled by Fu Yansheng's behavior.

Ling Mohui shook her head slightly, smiling bitterly: "I wanted to come out to take a breath of fresh air on my own."

She did not elaborate on the delicate relationship between her and Fu Yansheng, but simply gave an answer that Wei Ruoming could accept.

After hearing this, Wei Ruoming's eyes flashed with understanding, and his concern was evident: "You are still injured, you should go back early. I will take you there."
