Oops, the princess is surrounded by the male protagonists

Chapter 167 Who Should I Blame If Not You?

When Bai Yue heard Yun Qingjie reveal her identity, she realized that her behavior with Yun Qingchen was a little too intimate, so she quickly stood up, moved quickly to Yun Qingjie's side, and then smiled at Yun Qingchen with an apologetic look.

"Brother-in-law, I'm so sorry for what happened just now. Are you okay now?"

"I'm fine!"

Yun Qingchen responded briefly, his gaze lingering on the figures of Yun Qingjie and Bai Yue standing side by side. Then the intimacy in his eyes was quickly replaced by a polite and distant indifference, as if he had instantly put on another mask.

"Qingchen, Qingjie, are you two okay? I was really scared just now!"

At this time, Bai Ling swept in like a whirlwind and dived into Yun Qingchen's arms. This sudden hug made Yun Qingchen frown slightly, but then a gentle smile bloomed on his face again, and he gently lifted Bai Ling from his arms.

"Ling'er, Qingjie and I are both fine, thanks to Third Sister's timely help."

"Third sister?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Ling turned to Bai Yue with a puzzled look, and the other party no longer concealed himself. With a slight flick of his finger, the mask on his face fell off, revealing his beautiful and elegant face.

"Qing Jie, are you sure you're okay? If you feel uncomfortable anywhere, be sure to tell me!"

Bai Ling's gaze stayed briefly on Bai Yue, then she turned impatiently to Yun Qingjie, her face full of worry and anxiety.

"Sister-in-law, please rest assured, I am truly unharmed!"

Yun Qingjie's gaze fell on Bai Yue who was standing beside him, and he asked in a somewhat stiff tone.

"But you, are you injured anywhere?"

"Me? Of course I'm fine!"

Bai Yue stretched her limbs exaggeratedly as she spoke to prove that what she said was true, while Bai Ling chuckled and took over the conversation.

"Qing Jie, don't worry about your third sister. She's been a tough girl since she was little. This little storm is nothing to her!"

At this moment, Bai Yue's expression suddenly changed. She seemed to remember something and her eyes began to search around anxiously.

"What's wrong? Is there something missing?"

When Yun Qingjie saw Bai Yue like this, he couldn't help but feel a little confused, but the other party did not stop his actions. Instead, he spoke in a more urgent tone.

"Wreath! Quick, we have to find that wreath immediately! There's a plant hidden there that can drive horses crazy. If another horse gets close, I'm afraid the scene just now will happen again!"

Yun Qingjie's face instantly became solemn when he heard this. He immediately turned around and shouted loudly to the people who were riding towards him.

"Everyone, listen up! Drive the horses out of the arena immediately. At the same time, find that wreath at all costs!"

Before he finished speaking, some people in the crowd had already taken action. At this time, Xie Lingyun seemed to remember something. He hurriedly jumped off the horse and rushed to a corner of the arena, shouting anxiously.

"Hua Lan, I think I've seen it before. Please wait a moment, I'll be back soon!"

Half a cup of tea later, Xie Lingyun handed a wreath in his hand that looked a little disheveled and had scattered petals to Yun Qingjie. The other party took the wreath and handed it to Bai Yue.

Bai Yue directly pulled out a few pink and purple roses that looked like a dream from the colorful wreath. As soon as Yun Qingchen's eyes fell on the flowers, it was as if they were gently plucked by an invisible string, and his eyes were filled with astonishment and pain.

"This...how is this possible..."

"Brother Emperor!"

Seeing this, Yun Qingjie rushed forward and firmly supported Yun Qingchen, who was staggering slightly. His face instantly became so gloomy that water seemed to drip from it, and his eyes shot towards Bai Yue with a sharp gaze.

"Do you know that the reason why my brother's legs became crippled was because of this flower? That day, when he was picking this flower, his horse was suddenly frightened..."

Yun Qingjie suddenly paused and turned his eyes to Bai Ling beside him. An indescribable emotion surged in his heart, because he remembered that she had said that this wreath was a gift she carefully selected for Bai Yue's horse.

"Oh my God! How could such an ominous thing be mixed in with this wreath?"

Bai Ling's tears burst out instantly, as if this sudden change made her the most innocent and hurt one.

Her crying sounded particularly harsh in the quiet atmosphere. At this moment, a group of guards rushed into the venue like a tide. Then, Yun Ruiyuan and Mu Yuhan rushed towards Yun Qingjie and Yun Qingchen as fast as sparks.

"Jie'er! Chen'er! Are you okay?"

Just as they were about to touch their child, a white figure suddenly knelt down in front of them.

"Father, Queen Mother, I am an unfilial child. Please grant me death! Qingchen and Qingjie are in danger today because of me. Even if I die a thousand times, I cannot atone for my sins!"

At this time, Bai Ling was crying with tears in her eyes, her voice full of despair and self-blame.

"Huh? What...what's going on?"

Yun Ruiyuan and Mu Yuhan looked at each other in shock, confused by this sudden apology.

At this time, Yun Qingjie had already steadily supported Yun Qingchen, and the two walked side by side in front of them.

"Father, Mother, please be at ease. My brother and I are both safe and sound!"

"As long as it's okay, it'll be okay!"

Mu Yuehan hurried forward, walked around the two people, and examined them carefully, fearing to miss any scars. Yun Ruiyuan turned his gaze to Bai Ling on the ground and asked with a frown.

"Ling'er, what's wrong with you? Why are you saying this is all your fault?"

"Father, this is all my fault for being so kind! Didn't my third sister and her precious horse shine so brightly in the race today? So I was thinking, if the master is so glorious with a hairpin, how could her horse be left out of this honor?"

Bai Ling's eyes were filled with self-blame and anxiety. She wiped her tears and continued speaking.

"So, I excitedly ordered my servants to weave a colorful wreath with the most beautiful flowers. But I never imagined that the wreath would contain strange flowers that could frighten horses!"

"What? A flower that can cause horses to convulse? What...what on earth is going on?"

When Yun Ruiyuan heard this, his expression suddenly changed and his surprise was beyond words.

"Father, that's exactly what happened. Now that I think about it, my brother's horse's convulsions were probably caused by this flower..."

When Yun Qingjie thought of the pain Yun Qingchen had suffered in the past, he spoke in a low and heavy voice.

"Hey, how do you know the horse was frightened by this flower?"

Yun Ruiyuan frowned slightly and looked at Yun Qingjie and asked, but before the other party could speak, Bai Yue stepped forward, handed the rose in her hand to Yun Ruiyuan and saluted respectfully.

"Reporting to His Majesty, Father, while browsing ancient books, I came across a record of a strange flower called the Nightmare Rose. This flower is a dazzling array of purple and white, and its fragrance can confuse a horse's mind, even driving it mad. The wreath my second sister gave me cleverly concealed several of these flowers..."
