The Cold-Hearted Princess Who Transmigrated Here

After resting, the group set off again. This time, Wang Xiyue chose to ride a horse. Without waiting for anyone, she and her horse were the first to rush off before everyone else had even started.

She desperately wanted to vent her frustration, so she let Lan Ying run at full speed, as if only the feeling of speed could alleviate the pain in her heart.

Wang Xiyue's actions terrified everyone.

A chestnut horse carried a girl in blue. The horse reared up and neighed, its heart-stirring neigh echoing in the air. Then it galloped away like an arrow released from a bow, whistling past like the wind.

They only saw the horse's hooves churning, its long mane flying, and the girl on horseback's hair and cloak billowing in the wind. The two quickly disappeared at the end of the road ahead...

Dongfang Yu, who was already staring at her, only had time to shout, "Xiyue..."

Xi Yue's condition was clearly not right, so he leaped onto his horse and chased after her like lightning.

Wang Yu, who was always keeping an eye on his young mistress, was also among the first to react, but his horse wasn't as fierce, so he lagged far behind the two.

Mo Yun and the other guards were also startled and quickly followed the prince on horseback.

Wang Xijie and the guards of the Prime Minister's residence reacted a few breaths slower, but in the end, they all spurred their horses and galloped away at full speed.

The horses galloped, the earth shook, and the sound of hooves thundered. The procession of a dozen or so people was as imposing as an army passing through.

For a fleeting moment, Wang Xiyue was driven mad; like a bird breaking free from its cage, she longed to soar into the sky.

Blue Shadow is a breed second only to the Han Blood Horse. It was a gift from her father, who spent a fortune to buy it for her twelfth birthday. At that time, it was only half a year old and was still a foal that had just been weaned.

At first, it was also aloof and didn't like strangers getting close, but it became exceptionally affectionate when it met her, and Wang Xiyue liked it very much.

The two grew up together, and the horse became her only good companion. It was just like her shadow, always inseparable from her, which is why she named it Blue Shadow.

Her mother would bring her a pony every month when she came to visit. Later, when the pony turned one year old, Wang Xiyue learned to ride a horse with her brother's help.

Every month, she would set aside time to walk with Lan Ying along countless mountain paths. Gradually, she began to enjoy the feeling of galloping freely on horseback.

When the horse galloped, she felt as free as a bird in flight, soaring freely in the vast天地 (heaven and earth).

She had always dreamed of finding that vast grassland when she grew up, so that Blue Shadow could run at full speed. That was her dream and Blue Shadow's dream. But now, due to limited conditions, she could only run in this remote wilderness for the time being.

Just as Wang Xiyue was enjoying the exhilarating feeling, a huge pit about three zhang wide suddenly appeared in front of her, like a ravine that suddenly appeared, completely cutting the road in two.

Dongfang Yu, who was catching up with him at all costs, also noticed the sudden situation. He shouted at the top of his lungs, "Xiyue, be careful!"

Wang Xiyue didn't have time to stop Lan Ying. Her hands, which were pulling on the reins, trembled uncontrollably. She could easily step onto Lan Ying's back and use her light-footed skills to cross the pit.

This distance was not a problem for her at all, but Blue Shadow was inexperienced and more likely to fall. It was also only recently an adult, and it was her partner and family. She did not want to cause it any damage because of her recklessness.

Even if there was only a one in ten thousand chance of survival, she would never give up. She forced herself to calm down, pulled the reins tight with both hands, used all her inner strength, and squeezed the horse's belly with her legs. Although her strength could not restrain the weight of Lan Ying's entire body, she had to make it a little easier so that it could travel further.

burn one's boats.

Success or failure, you only get one chance.

At the same time, the blue shadow, seemingly sensing something, not only showed no fear but also suddenly increased its speed.

As it approached the edge of the pit, it pushed off with all its might with its front and hind legs, the force and speed propelling it into the air. Then, like a bird, it flew across the deep ditch, finally landing heavily on the edge of the opposite side of the giant pit.

Fortunately, the man and the horse worked together seamlessly; otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

Blue Shadow did not stop, but continued running forward for more than ten feet before slowly regaining her footing after dissipating the momentum.

Dongfang Yu fell a few feet behind Xiyue and looked at the scene just now. She was almost scared out of her wits, but thankfully she was safe and sound.

He hurriedly pulled on the reins, squeezing the horse's belly with his legs to force Chi Yan to stop abruptly. This caused Chi Yan's front half to rise high, with its entire body almost perpendicular to the ground.

Then, Dongfang Yu forcefully pulled the horse's head and body to turn in one direction, and finally the horse came to rest sideways on the edge of the pit. If it had taken two more steps, he and Chi Yan would have fallen in as well.

However, Dongfang Yu had no time to pay attention to his own perilous situation. He kept his eyes fixed on Xiyue's every move, afraid that she might be in danger again.

Wang Yu, who followed behind, slowly slowed down his horse. When he watched the young lady ride her horse across the giant pit, his heart almost stopped beating. He was very glad that she finally made it across safely.

At the same time, he also witnessed Dark Night's superb horsemanship, and he was now genuinely impressed by him.

His horsemanship in the dark was truly astounding.

The Akhal-Teke horse is undoubtedly a magnificent steed, but whether it can reach its full potential depends on the rider's skill. Clearly, this magnificent horse has encountered a very capable owner.

After confirming that Xiyue was out of danger, Dongfang Yu realized that the back of his clothes was already soaked with cold sweat.

He had planned to jump down to save Xiyue if she fell. He knew he couldn't save the horse, but he was determined to protect Xiyue.

When Wang Xiyue rode her horse back to the edge of the giant pit, she stared blankly at the pit in front of her, she had been quite frightened just now.

At this moment, her heart was still pounding violently. Fortunately, Lan Ying bravely accelerated and rushed over. If it had lost its strength even slightly, it would have fallen into this five or six-zhang-deep hole, and it and she would probably have died today.

She couldn't help but stare blankly at the dark night opposite her.

He was dressed in an ordinary black guard uniform, with a dark cloak over it. Because his face was covered by a silver mask, she could only see his deep, dark eyes.

He rode a tall, pale gold horse, its head held high and chest out, exuding confidence and making him appear even more imposing and dashing.

At this moment, his noble aura flowed, and simply sitting on his horse, he exuded the air of a ruler overseeing the world.

How many people in the world can match such an outstanding man?

And yet he was merely a subordinate of the Prince Xian's mansion. How outstanding must Dongfang Yu be to suppress such an imposing subordinate?

As Wang Xiyue sized up Dongfang Yu, he also stared at her intently. He had only one thought in mind: to grab the person in front of him and punish her severely.

He wanted her to understand that if she couldn't guarantee her own safety, she would have to bear all his wrath.

He wanted her to know that he had almost been driven to despair just now, and he also wanted her to know that he was not someone to be trifled with. Now that they were entangled, it would be impossible for her to leave him.

Just as Dongfang Yu was losing his senses, Mo Yun and the guards from the Prince Xian's Mansion arrived, followed by Wang Xijie and the guards from the Prime Minister's Mansion, who arrived one after another without stopping.

After dismounting at the edge of the giant pit, Wang Xijie used his light-footed skill to leap across it. Only when he reached his sister's side and saw that she was safe and sound did he feel somewhat relieved.

"Yueyue, are you feeling unwell anywhere? Would you like to rest in the carriage for a while?"

He was still feeling lingering fear. He was afraid that his sister would have an emotional breakdown like when she saved Dongfang Yu at the palace last time. He didn't know what was wrong with his sister. She had only gone out for a short while and came back so emotionally unstable. He could clearly see the overwhelming sadness she was feeling.

This Dongfang Yu is simply my sister's nemesis; I really want to smash him to pieces.

Looking at her brother's anxious and somewhat pale face, Wang Xiyue realized that her rash actions just now had really frightened him.

After the high-speed drive and the thrilling leap, she had calmed down considerably.

She dismounted, walked over, hugged her brother's arm, and shook it, offering a silent apology.

Now she has also controlled her previously out-of-control emotions. Her momentary recklessness caused her brother so much worry and almost killed Lan Ying.

She was now filled with deep guilt, and to avoid making him worry further, she had to make up an excuse to cover it up: "Brother, I'm fine. I was just thinking that it's been a long time since I rode a horse at full speed, and I suddenly had the urge to try it with Lan Ying."

"Brother, I'm sorry, it won't happen again!"

Seeing that his sister's emotions had indeed stabilized a lot, Wang Xijie felt relieved of half of his worries.

He smiled and patted his sister's head, and also patted Lan Ying's head, deciding to praise them both together, "It's good that you're alright. Yueyue and Lan Ying are the most amazing. They were able to leap over such a long distance in one go."

Even your brother doesn't have that much ability!

Lan Ying seemed to understand human speech as she looked up, her smug expression amusing the brother and sister.

Treated like a child by her brother, Wang Xiyue completely relaxed and awkwardly touched her hair by her ear: "Brother, please stop teasing me. I was almost scared to death just now."

Then she held up her right hand and swore, "Brother, I'm sorry, I promise I won't be so reckless next time!"

Wang Xijie looked at his sister, who rarely joked, with doting eyes, and shook his head helplessly, "Well, I'll accept your vow on behalf of God!"

"If you don't behave next time, I'll have to write to Dad to complain. When you come back, I'll make you cry."

When Wang Xiyue thought of her mother's tearful and frail appearance, she immediately promised again and again that she would not act on her own again, almost to the point of writing a guarantee.

Wang Xijie sighed deeply. "Yueyue, if anything makes you unhappy, remember to talk to your brother to solve it together, okay?"

"Although brother isn't omnipotent, Mom and Dad and I will always be your strongest support. Don't be afraid to bother us. Remember, we are family, okay?"

Wang Xiyue nodded vigorously. Her unintentional action just now almost killed Lan Ying, how could she dare to continue to be willful?

Perhaps she was destined to be a lone star, whether it was Xiao Ge or Dongfang Yu. Since the final outcome was destined to hurt both of them, it was better to leave early and pretend that they had never been together.

She discovered that her fear of matters of the heart was far greater than she had imagined.

It seems that fear is an innate instinct.

Since she doesn't have that blessing, she should accept her fate.

There is more than just romantic love in this world; there is also family love and friendship. If she can't have it herself, she will try her best to help others get it. Seeing others happy makes her happy too.

Dongfang Yu sat quietly on horseback, watching the two siblings opposite him.

Watching Wang Xijie reach out and pet Xiyue like a puppy, he stared at that hand with burning eyes. His beloved, down to the last hair, belonged only to him.

How could she be touched by another man? Even if that man was her own brother, he wouldn't allow it.

It seems he'll have to have a serious talk with his brother-in-law later about how his kung fu is progressing.

Dongfang Yu saw that the pit was too big, and apart from him and Chi Yan, he estimated that no one else could ride across it.

It seems we'll have to stay here tonight. "Mo Yun, let's set up camp here for the night. First, get two tents across the way, and then we'll start building the bridge."

Wang Xijie raised an eyebrow upon hearing this. This brat had thought things through quite thoroughly. He then gave the same order to the people in the Prime Minister's residence.
