‘T-that horse is actually so fast?!’

Qu Yu no longer hesitated. She quickly raised her whip and chased after Yu Yunxi. However, even after a long time, she could not catch up to the horse in front of her.

Yu Yunxi’s horse was very intelligent. She only patted its backside, and it quickly stopped running and stood still.

When Qu Yu finally caught up, her horse reared up and spun around. She panted and looked at the calm and composed Yu Yunxi in shock.

“Eldest Princess, your horse…”

“Sometimes, what you see might not be the truth. This little guy is cunning. It didn’t want others to ride it so it pretended to be listless, looking as though it was about to collapse…” Yu Yunxi explained as she gently stroked the horse.

‘I see…’

Qu Yu looked at Yu Yunxi’s horse rubbing its head against Yu Yunxi’s hand. It might not like other people, but it clearly liked Yu Yunxi a lot. Finally, she cupped her fists together at Yu Yunxi and said, “Eldest Princess, you’ve opened my eyes again today.”

Every time she met Yu Yunxi, Qu Yu felt that she learned a lot.

Yu Yunxi said appreciatively, “Your riding skills are quite good. As expected of the daughter of a general.”

“Be careful!” Qu Yu suddenly shouted.

At this moment, a sharp arrow shot out from the dark. It was aimed straight at

Yu Yunxi’s heart.

Yu Yunxi’s expression did not change at all when she saw that the arrow was about to pierce her. She raised her hand and easily caught it with her hand. Then, she said with a sneer, “If you want to kill me, you should come out and fight me openly. It’s too despicable to hide in the dark and attack, right?”

As soon as Yu Yunxi finished speaking, she saw countless men, dressed from head to toe in black, rushing out from the shadows.

Clearly, the Emperor hated Yu Yunxi a lot and could not wait to kill her.

Qu Yu came to Yu Yunxi’s side and said solemnly, “Don’t worry, Eldest Princess. I’ll help you.”

“Qu Yu, listen to me. When you find a chance later, escape. Don’t continue fighting,” Yu Yunxi said.

The men were likely the Emperor’s personal guards. If Qu Yu helped her, and the Emperor found out about it, it would be detrimental to the Qu family. The Emperor needed the Qu family to help with disaster relief so he would not do anything to do them for the time being. However, there was no guarantee that he would not do anything in the future.

Moreover, Qu Yu wanted to break off her engagement with Qin Wencheng. It was not advantageous for the Emperor to break off their engagement. After all, he still needed the Qin family to control the Qu family. Hence, Qu Yu could not further offend the Emperor.

Qu Yu was unaware that Yu Yunxi’s thoughts had gone through so many twists and turns. She shook her head and said sincerely, “No, Eldest Princess. Your safety is of utmost importance. Later, I’ll help carve out a path for you, and you must quickly escape.”

Yu Yunxi had a headache. Qu Yu was too loyal, and she knew she could not persuade Qu Yu to leave. After thinking about it for a moment, she lowered her voice and said, “Qu Yu, the King of Youshan is nearby. Go and find him to help me.”

“But, you…”

“I’m the target of these assassins. It won’t be easy for me to escape. Moreover, the two of us are outnumbered. We need reinforcements. Qu Yu, only you can go and look for the King of Youshan,” Yu Yunxi said gravely.

Qu Yu’s heart sank. Perhaps due to the grave expression on Yu Yunxi’s face, she was convinced. She gritted her teeth and said, “Alright. Eldest Princess, you must hold on until we come to your rescue!”

“Okay, don’t worry.”

At this time, the men in black finally ran out of patience. They drew their swords and began to attack.

Yu Yunxi’s eyes glinted coldly as she leaped up and waved her hand. In just an instant, countless silver needles flew out.

Some of the men in black were caught off guard, and the silver needles stabbed their vital points, killing them immediately.

After a while, Yu Yunxi shouted, “It’s time, Qu Yu! Go!”

Qu Yu gritted her teeth and quickly rode away.

Just as Yu Yunxi had speculated, the assassins were indeed the Emperor’s men. Earlier, it was not easy for them to kill Yu Yunxi in front of Qu Yu. With Qu Yu gone, they no longer had any scruples.

“Kill her!”

Yu Yunxi’s eyes flashed with ridicule as she looked at the murderous men. They had held back earlier because of Qu Yu, but it was the same for her. She drew the soft sword on her waist and leaped forward into the midst of the men in black.

Yu Yunxi’s clothes made her very eye-catching in the sea of black, but the men still could not see her figure clearly. They only saw flashes of white and felt a chill on their necks before they lost their lives.

When Yu Yunxi returned to her original position, she looked at the remaining men and asked coldly, “Do you still want to continue?”

Blood dripped down Yu Yunxi’s sword, causing the men’s faces to pale.

‘Is this what she meant when she said her martial arts weren’t good? As it turns out, she was only pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger…’

The remaining wanted to retreat, but they knew if they failed their mission, the Emperor would definitely take their lives to atone for their failure. As such, they could only grit their teeth and stand their ground.

“We can only live if we kill her! Brothers, attack!”

“You’re really stubborn,” Yu Yunxi said flatly. She did not like the smell of blood. However, since these people forced her to fight, she would not be soft-hearted.

After an unknown amount of time had passed, corpses were strewn all over the ground. There was only one survivor.

Seeing that Yu Yunxi did not intend to make a move, he quickly fled for his life. ‘The Eldest Princess is a demon! She must be a demon!’

Meanwhile, Yu Yunxi brought her handkerchief out and slowly wiped the blood off her face as she watched the survivor flee. She had killed so many of the Emperor’s men, and she naturally had to spare one of them so the other party could report back to the Emperor.

Subsequently, Yu Yunxi mounted her horse and left the area.

Not long after Yu Yunxi left, a figure appeared.

Qin Wencheng looked at the corpses on the ground in shock.

‘So this is Yu Yunxi’s true strength.. ‘

When Qin Wencheng calmed down, a crazy idea appeared in his mind.

Almost everyone in the imperial court looked down on Yu Yunxi. However, in reality, she was really not that simple. After witnessing the incident earlier, Qin Wencheng was certain that she would be able to pass the Emperor Emeritus’ test. At that time, her status would be even higher, living up to her title as the Eldest Princess of Xichu. With such a noble status, she would naturally need an equally noble husband.

Qin Wencheng recalled his father’s words before he came to the hunting ground, and his eyes shone viciously.

Initially, his father wanted his bast*rd brother to marry Yu Yunxi. Then earlier today, his father told him that the Empress and the Crown Prince thought that it was more suitable for Yu Yunxi to marry the Crown Prince.

Anger surged in Qin Wencheng’s heart as he thought to himself, ‘Why didn’t anyone think of letting me marry Yu Yunxi? I don’t want to rely on Duke Qin’s Residence for the rest of my life! Indeed, if I marry her, I will have all the power I need! But how can I marry Yu Yunxi… Wait, there’s that b*tch, Qu Yu…’

Qin Wencheng’s eyes shone with excitement as these thoughts raced through his mind. He knew that Yu Yunxi had a good relationship with Qu Yu so he planned to start with Qu Yu. Without a moment’s delay, he hurriedly left in the direction that Qu Yu had left earlier.

At this moment, the survivor was still fleeing, intending to report back to the

Emperor. However, before he reached his destination, he ran into Chu Yuemu.

As though he had seen his savior, he said, “S-seventh, Seventh Prince, the Eldest Princess is terrifying. She killed… She killed…”

However, in the next moment, Chu Yuemu decapitated the other party without changing his expression..
