Chapter 296 Rushing Towards the Cliff
Mo Qingkui cried with tears streaming down her face, her clothes slightly disheveled from running.
She rushed straight to Gao Xian and looked up.
Her eyes were brimming with tears as she looked at him, her voice choked with emotion and urgency: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty! I have something to tell you!"
Her voice trembled as she cried, as if she had suffered a tremendous injustice.
Seeing her crying so hard she could barely breathe, Gao Xian frowned slightly, a hint of helplessness flashing in his eyes.
It wasn't that he didn't feel sorry for Qingkui, it's just that right now...
Gao Xian subconsciously looked at Xie Yanli and mouthed, "The plan..."
Xie Yanli hadn't expected Mo Qingkui to suddenly appear and disrupt their plans.
But we can't wait.
He shook his head at Gao Xian.
It's too late.
Gao Xian pursed his lips, but seeing how hard she was crying, he didn't dare to speak harshly to her.
He simply explained gently, "Qingkui, I am hunting now. I will make the decision for you later."
I guess some fool has offended her again, but it probably isn't too serious.
The real priority is ensuring the smooth progress of the plan.
Mo Qingkui was not having it at all, her eyes filled with dissatisfaction.
She bit her lip, her tears still wet, her voice carrying a hint of coquetry and stubbornness.
"No! Your Majesty, you can't abandon me now!"
As she spoke, she suddenly reached out to grab Gao Xian's sleeve, then stepped directly into the stirrups, intending to mount the horse.
She couldn't wait; she couldn't let this matter drag on!
The injustice she suffered today must not be left unpunished!
Gao Xian's forehead throbbed.
Taking a deep breath and suppressing his displeasure, he turned to look at Xie Yanli.
Xie Yanli frowned, pondered for a moment, and then nodded almost imperceptibly.
There's no other way, this will have to do.
Gao Xian's eyes darkened slightly as he forced himself to calm down.
He turned to the side, hooked his long arm around Mo Qingkui's slender waist.
With a single hand, he lifted her onto the horse's back.
Mo Qingkui was caught off guard and fell into his arms, her heart filled with joy.
Just as he was about to turn around and speak to Gao Xian, the horse beneath him suddenly started moving.
"Your Majesty, what are we going there for?"
She was startled and immediately grabbed Gao Xian's sleeve.
He looked up in a panic, only to see him calmly holding the reins.
I walked toward a tree not far away.
"Your Majesty?" she called out in confusion, her hand unconsciously tightening its grip on the saddle.
However, in the next instant, the horse suddenly seemed to be startled, its front hooves rearing up abruptly, letting out a high-pitched neigh!
Mo Qingkui swayed violently and nearly fell off her horse.
"what--"
The horse was completely out of control; its originally slow pace suddenly quickened, as if it had broken free of its reins.
The horses suddenly went berserk, their neighing deafening.
The entire hunting ground fell into a brief, deathly silence.
All the military officers present were stunned. No one expected that the emperor's horse would suddenly go out of control!
"Quick! Stop the horses!" Xie Yanli exclaimed in alarm.
But everything happened too fast. By the time the guards reacted, the horses had already galloped off like the wind.
He led Gao Xian and Mo Qingkui and ran wildly toward the cliff!
"emperor--!"
In the ensuing chaos, many people spurred their horses to give chase, trying to stop the out-of-control horses.
But it seemed to be in a great fright, moving at an astonishing speed, giving no one a chance to react.
Mo Qingkui was completely terrified and screamed in terror, "Your Majesty! Save me! Save me!"
Gao Xian's expression finally changed.
He pulled hard on the reins, trying to steady the horse.
But the horse seemed to have gone mad, instead accelerating and charging straight toward the edge of the cliff!
Exclamations erupted from all around, and everyone stared wide-eyed.
They watched helplessly as the horse leaped into the air and plummeted straight down the cliff!
"emperor--"
The ministers' exclamations had not yet subsided.
The horses, carrying Gao Xian and Mo Qingkui, had completely disappeared from sight at the edge of the cliff!
"what--"
At the campsite.
After Mo Qingkui left, the ministers' wives breathed a sigh of relief and began to stroll around chatting and laughing.
Madam He walked up to Qin Jiuwei and thanked her personally.
Qin Jiuwei then realized that she was the wife of the Vice Minister of the Court of Judicial Review.
As the two were talking, a strange noise suddenly came from the jungle.
Immediately afterwards, white figures suddenly darted out from the shadows like ghosts!
They wore loose white robes and moved swiftly.
The blade flashed with a chilling glint in the sunlight, hurtling straight toward the unsuspecting ministers and their wives!
"what--!"
A scream suddenly rang out, startling the birds flying among the trees.
The ladies turned deathly pale instantly and retreated in terror.
"There are assassins!"
The guards reacted instantly, drawing their swords and charging towards the group of white-robed men.
Sparks flew as the blades clashed.
But these white-robed men were clearly not ordinary assassins.
They acted swiftly and decisively, each strike aimed directly at vital points.
Moreover, each of them was skilled in martial arts, clearly indicating that they were well-trained individuals!
Qin Jiuwei's heart sank suddenly.
