Chapter 421: Horse's Agitation

The women's team was obviously much slower than the men's team, but for some reason, the horses in the women's team were just a little anxious and did not behave in a crazy manner.

After everyone got off their horses, Qi Xiuheng and others asked Mo Yunting for an explanation with gloomy faces.

"Everyone, don't worry. I will investigate this matter thoroughly and will never harbor those who intend to undermine diplomatic relations!" Mo Yunting's words also concealed a hint of anger.

Each of these nations had been established for over a hundred years and had long since entered an era of decline. No one dared to rashly provoke trouble. Therefore, they were simply seeking an explanation.

Chu Qingmeng had guessed what these people were thinking, and he didn't look worried at all. He had even eaten the second piece of milk cake.

Mo Yunting glanced at Chu Qingmeng seemingly casually, but saw that she was not affected at all and was eating happily. He sighed imperceptibly. This girl really didn't bother to care about him.

Mo Liujin was still frowning in thought. He had to get to the bottom of this matter. Otherwise, if war broke out, he would be the best candidate to go. With Qing Meng alone in the capital, he would be worried about his life. Furthermore, with one nation battling three kingdoms while also guarding against the ever-coveted Bei Ming, he feared the end of his nation would be unavoidable.

Thinking of this, Mo Liujin subconsciously looked at Chu Qingmeng, but saw that she was still eating the milk cake. He sighed helplessly and reached out to stroke her back. "If you like it, tell the chef in the mansion to make it. But don't be so greedy. Your body can't bear it."

Chu Qingmeng nodded and ate the last bite, then wiped his hands with a handkerchief. "What is Jin thinking about?"

Mo Liujin shook his head, not wanting to scare her because nothing was certain. "Nothing."

Not long after, Wuyong came back to report, "Your Majesty, the horse's back is red and swollen. It must have been stimulated and gone crazy, but we haven't found the source of the poison."

"Incompetent! Check again!" Mo Yunting's face turned completely black. He actually couldn't find out what the reason was?!

This thing is not easy to check, and it's not poisonous. He turned around and winked at Xia Zhi, who lowered his head slightly and quietly retreated. Seeing Shuang Cheng leave, Chu Qingmeng sighed and said softly, "It must be the horse's fever."

Seventeen's brows twitched violently.

She spoke rashly, drawing everyone's gaze. Chu Qingmeng continued to explain, "That stuff isn't poisonous. It's a kind of grass similar to wheat awns. It wouldn't be harmful if you sprinkled it on a horse's back, but once someone sat on the saddle, it would pierce the horse's back, which is why their horses galloped away at the beginning."

"During a horse race, people usually stand in the stirrups, so the horse isn't stimulated during the race. But near the finish line, people usually sit back in the saddle. With such stimulation, it's not surprising that the horse would go crazy, right?"

The Sixth Prince, who always treated himself as invisible, looked at Chu Qingmeng with an unclear expression, "Then why is the women's group okay?"

"That stuff probably wasn't spilled much. Besides, women are generally lighter, so they cause less damage to horses. So those horses are just agitated, not crazy."

"An Ning, do you know a lot about that thing?" The Sixth Prince continued to ask.

"Royal brother." Mo Yunting frowned and looked at Mo Liuxin and shook his head slightly. Chujiu would never do such a thing.

Mo Liujin looked at Mo Liuxin with sharp eyes. He knew that he asked this question out of consideration for the diplomatic relations with several countries, but he still felt uncomfortable in his heart. Therefore, although his words were not offensive, his tone was not very good. "Sixth Prince, my wife is a woman, and today is her first time entering the horse farm."

Chu Qingmeng didn't care about his question. The Sixth Prince wasn't on Eleven's blacklist. He ate a jade fruit and said calmly, "Of course I understand. When I was learning horsemanship, someone threw this stuff on my horse's back."

Mo Liuxin shut up. He was overthinking it. There was really no reason for An Ning to target a few princes from neighboring countries whom he had never met before.

Mo Liujin looked down at Chu Qingmeng and began to imagine unconsciously. He guessed that her past was very painful, but when he heard her nonchalant tone, he felt even more uncomfortable in his heart and silently held her hand on her knee.

Wu Yong came back again, but this time he tied up a little eunuch and threw him in front of everyone, and then whispered a report in Mo Yunting's ear.

Xia Zhi quietly stood back beside Chu Qingmeng, took out a hawthorn pill and handed it to her, "Princess, your medicine."

Chu Qingmeng took it and put it in his mouth. Then he heard Mo Yunting slam the table in anger, "How dare you! You dog slave! How dare you be so careless! Come on! Take him out and behead him!"

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! I was wrong! I am guilty! I shouldn't have allowed the horses to roll around freely! I caused the horses to become infected with horse fever and nearly injured several princes and princesses! Please forgive me, Your Majesty! Spare me!"

The young eunuch was dragged away by two guards. Then a wailing sound was heard and the scene became quiet.

Chu Qingmeng closed his eyes, frowned slightly, and a trace of pity flashed across his face, but he quickly returned to normal. He couldn't help but laugh at himself. She really had changed, cold-blooded and ruthless. His emotions suddenly swirled violently, and Chu Qingmeng's irritability became even stronger.

They all grew up in the palace, so who wouldn't know what was going on? What an obvious scapegoat.

Jin Huaian opened his mouth to question Chu Qingmeng, but noticed her frown. His mouth, which had just opened, closed again.
