Accidentally dressed as an empress

Chapter 63 Killing the Horse

Yun Ji stared at Yun Se, not moving.

Yun Se said angrily, "This beast hurt your sister!"

Yun Ji clenched his fists, endured it, and said, "It's my fault."

The horse didn't understand what people said, but it kept lifting its hooves restlessly, looking at Yun Ji with its big, docile and ignorant black eyes.

Yun Ji couldn't bear it and said, "Tonight, I will kill this horse."

Yun Se pulled out his sword and threw it towards the kneeling Yun Ji. The sword fell to the grass with a dull sound. Yun Se said, "Kill him now."

Yun Ji looked at the sword flashing with cold light in front of her. Her mother was forcing her. Yun Ji raised her head and stared at her mother with her eyes, as if they were about to spit fire.

Yun Ji closed her eyes, bent her waist, shrugged her shoulders, lowered her head, reached out and picked up the sword on the ground.

She stood up, stroked the horse's mane with her left hand, and raised the sword with her right hand.

At this moment, Yi came forward, knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, please calm down. There's a caltrop stuck in the horse's hoof. I think it was accidentally injured and frightened, causing the Sixth Prince to fall off the horse."

Yunse looked at Yi, who had suddenly become bold, and asked, "Can you raise horses?"

"Your Majesty, I am Yi Yuan, a humble commoner who knows a little bit about horse breeding."

Yun Se was a little surprised when he heard the man call himself Yi Yuan, and said to Wu Han, "Send Yi over."

They are wearing different clothes but look exactly the same. Two people looking in the mirror, are they twins?

Yi Yuan and Yi Lan have different temperaments. Yi Lan is quiet and weak, while Yi Yuan is confident and generous.

Although His Majesty's attention was diverted by the two brothers for a while, he would not easily let this matter go.

Yun Se turned his gaze back to Yun Ji and said, "Although the circumstances are excusable, the livestock still deserved to die for injuring people."

"The horse deserves to die," Yun Ji raised the horse's hoof and pulled out the caltrops. "But who put these caltrops there? What if they startle your majesty's horse?"

This trick of diverting trouble away was a masterful one. Yun Xiu thought to herself, Yun Ji should not be underestimated. She was not just a brawny girl without brains.

That Yi Yuan boldly stood up to lend his support. He was Yi's younger brother and the third princess's fiancé, so he came at the right time.

Yun Se's face darkened, and he looked like he was about to get angry again. "Wu Han, send someone to clear out the caltrops."

Is your Majesty angry? He's so angry. Yun Ji has walked into the trap. It's really tragic.

Yun Ji handed the hilt back to His Majesty and said, "Tonight, I will kill the horse and make horse meat soup for Your Majesty."

Yun Se put away his sword, glanced coldly at Yun Ji, got on the carriage, opened the window and said to the outside, "Let's go!"

Wu Han said, "Your Majesty, the imperial horse can't move."

Wu Han leaned closer to the window and whispered to His Majesty, "All the horses have severe diarrhea and can't be pulled anymore."

Yun Se was feeling a little uneasy, fearing she wouldn't be able to reach the Beiyuan Palace tonight. She said, "Wu Han, go find a slope sheltered from the wind and set up camp."

Yunxiu walked to the side of the imperial carriage, bowed to it, and said loudly, "If your Majesty does not mind, you may use my horse."

Yun Ji glanced at Yun Xiu, then quickly looked away.

Yun Xiu bowed and said, "It's okay for us women to camp in the wild, but the young masters of the noble families are too delicate to endure the hardship."

Yun Ji also said, "Your Majesty's carriage is too big, and I only have two horses. I'm afraid they can't pull it. So let my chestnut horse come along and pull the carriage for Your Majesty."

Camping in the wild is indeed inconvenient, and she also plans to take a good look at what Yunxiu and Yunji are up to.

Yun Se's expression softened, and he said to Yun Ji, "Alright, it's not too late to kill your horse after you've used it."

"Wu Han, go change horses. We must reach Beiyuan Palace before dark."

What if the imperial horse couldn't move and it wasn't just an accident, but someone did it on purpose?

Whose orders did the female officials who managed the imperial horses report to? The Shaofu Ling was the manager of the palace eunuchs.

Before going out, the fodder was changed, which caused the imperial horse to have difficulty adapting. Cui Ti didn't have any good intentions.

Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you don't guard against those you should be wary of, and you blindly guard against those you shouldn't be wary of. Yun Se is so wary of and torments her daughters, which has caused the mother and daughters to become estranged, and each of her daughters has developed a rebellious heart.

His Majesty drove Yun Ji out of the palace and gave her the most barren fiefdom of Beiling; His Majesty arranged for Yun Ji to marry Yi's younger brother, and Yun Ji became a laughing stock at the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet; now, in public, His Majesty forced Yun Ji to kill her beloved horse.

His Majesty was really bad to Yun Ji, and she wasn't very good to the original owner either, otherwise why would the original owner want to commit suicide.

A mother who had failed miserably, and a monarch who had no ability to judge people. Yunxiu saw through it all, but she would not speak out.

Elsewhere, Zhong Yi rode the Zhong family's horse to the farmland. He squatted down and picked up a wheat ear. He said to Su Shiyi, "Find the peasant women and give them some silver as compensation. Growing crops is not easy."

People's lives were difficult. For the Sixth Princess, she just rode a horse and had fun.

Trampled farmland means that some people will not have enough food to eat, will not be able to pay enough rent, and will be beaten and scolded by the landlords.

Zhong Yi remembered the military regulations of the Northern Army during the march, which prohibited trampling on farmland, robbing civilians' property, and raping other people's husbands. Violators would be punished with fifty military sticks.

Zhong Yi pursed his lips. Su Shiyi came back to report. The farmer had closed the door tightly and did not dare to come out, so he put the silver on the windowsill.

Zhong Yi tugged at the reins and turned back to the Highness's carriage. He found Commander Wu approaching, leading the Highness's two horses away.

Zhong Yi asked and learned that the imperial horse had become unfit and could not move. His Highness had generously lent it to His Majesty. He had no choice but to follow Yunxiu and squeeze onto the Zhong family's carriage.

Several guards, all carrying things, marched with the soldiers.

Yunxiu's carriage, the other carriages in the palace, and the imperial horses were left in place, and a team of garrison troops were left to guard them, waiting for the captain to go to Lingyun City to find the horse doctor.

Yun Mu had a broken leg, and Doctor Li put a splint on her. The injured person could not be moved, so the garrison soldiers allocated a horse to pull a carriage, and a team of garrison soldiers escorted Yun Mu back to the palace.

Yun Zhi and Yi Shi got into His Majesty's carriage.

Yun Jue went to ride with Yun Ji. Yun Jue sat in front of Yun Ji. The white horse was borrowed from Li Xian.

Although Li Xian was not familiar with the Third Princess, he agreed for the sake of the Grand Prince and went to ride in the car with the Li family.

Yi Yuan originally followed the Yi family. Now that he saw his fiancée bringing the fifth prince, he didn't think much about it and just let him go. He wasn't that delicate.

Commander Wu walked up to Yi Yuan and said to him, "Your Majesty invites you."
