Luo Shuiyao sat upright on the horse, gently pulling the reins with one hand, trying to relax. Ye Yunzhou had just taught her not to pull the reins too tight, not to be impatient, but to simply let the horse carry her forward steadily. After another slow circle, Luo Shuiyao's courage gradually grew. She tightened the reins slightly, gently squeezed her legs against the horse's belly, and the horse, receiving the signal, broke into a trot. Although it was a trot, it was actually only slightly faster than a walk, and she was able to sit firmly, a bright smile on her face.
Ye Yunzhou nodded with appreciation. When Luo Shuiyao walked to his side, he quickly made a gesture, conveying his approval and encouragement to her.
Seeing this, Luo Shuiyao responded with a smile as bright as the sun, her eyes curved like crescent moons, and her smile was full of joy from getting better at riding and the happiness of being praised.
That smile was too bright and attractive, like a dazzling ray of light, shining straight into his heart, making him dizzy for a moment, as if everything around him had become a blurred background, and only that smile was clear and unforgettable.
At this moment, Luo Shuiyao was completely immersed in the novelty and joy of riding a horse, quietly feeling the pleasure of the horse carrying her at a gallop.
Suddenly, a soft call came from outside the arena. Ye Yunzhou responded subconsciously and then looked in the direction of the voice. He saw someone outside the arena waving him over. He looked up at Luo Shuiyao, who was still immersed in the joy of riding. Seeing that she was riding quite steadily, he felt relieved and walked quickly towards the outside of the arena with confidence.
Seeing Ye Yunzhou approaching, the man hurriedly quickened his pace, took a few steps forward and stopped, looked around vigilantly, and after confirming that there was no one around, he lowered his voice and said, "Superintendent, I have some clues about the matter you sent your subordinates to investigate, and I'm here to present it to you for your review." After that, he took out an envelope from his arms and handed it to Ye Yunzhou with both hands.
Ye Yunzhou frowned slightly, reaching out to take the letter, unsealing it and scanning its contents. As he read further, his brows furrowed in furrows, his expression growing increasingly grim. Soon, he finished the letter, clutching it tightly in his palm and crumpling it into a ball until it shredded into pieces before handing it back to the person who had sent it.
The man took it and quickly stuffed the paper ball back into his collar.
Ye Yunzhou's face was solemn. He lowered his eyes and pondered for a moment before speaking slowly, "Although you have uncovered some clues this time, these alone are not enough to convict that person. If you hastily present them without any concrete evidence, His Majesty may not believe it. You should continue to investigate further, deploy more personnel to assist, and be sure to obtain irrefutable firsthand evidence."
The man nodded solemnly, saluted with his fists, and turned to leave.
Here, Luo Shuiyao sat leisurely on horseback, letting the horse canter along at a leisurely pace. A gentle breeze caressed her, and the tension in her body and mind slowly dissipated, leaving no trace of her previous nervousness. Unexpectedly, without any warning, the horse suddenly raised its head, neighed sharply, and raised its front hooves with all its might.
Luo Shuiyao was startled and instinctively grabbed the reins tightly, squeezing her legs against the horse's belly to prevent herself from falling off. Unexpectedly, her reaction to the stress made the horse even more excited, and it instantly accelerated, galloping away like an arrow from a bow.
Ye Yunzhou watched the man's receding figure, his mind swirling with thoughts. After a moment, he came to his senses. Thinking of Luo Shuiyao at the horse farm, he finally put his thoughts aside and turned to walk towards the farm.
Unexpectedly, as he reached the edge of the stables, he saw a terrifying sight. The horse Luo Shuiyao was riding seemed to have gone mad, its head held high and neighing, its hooves darting back and forth in a frantic, directionless gallop. Luo Shuiyao was swaying on the horse's back, looking like she might fall off at any moment.
His heart suddenly sank, his breathing suddenly stagnated, and then without thinking, he ran at full speed towards Luo Shuiyao. At that moment, his mind was blank. He must not let the out-of-control mad horse hurt her in the slightest. Only one thought remained in his mind: faster, faster!
Luo Shuiyao was like a leaf in the wind on the horse's back, tossed this way and that, her body completely uncontrollably tilted to one side, slowly sliding down the side. Her face was pale, and her hands could only hold the horse's height tightly. In panic, one hand even subconsciously grabbed the horse's mane tightly. However, all this was to no avail. The pain made the horse even more frantic, and all four hooves rushed forward like thunder.
Luo Shuiyao felt the world spinning around her, completely losing the strength to fight the horse, falling uncontrollably to the ground. Even though she still gripped the reins, her fingers turning white from the strain, she couldn't stop the rapid downward spiral. At this moment, she lamented, "Could it be that I can't escape the fate of being killed by the horse's hooves?"
At this critical moment, Luo Shuiyao was about to fall to the ground. Suddenly, Ye Yunzhou rushed over like a gust of wind. He jumped sideways into the air and, with all his strength, kicked the horse hard in the stomach. The horse neighed in pain and fell to the side.
Taking advantage of this gap, Ye Yunzhou quickly reached out and grabbed Luo Shuiyao by the collar, pulling her up, and then holding her tightly in his arms. However, when he kicked the horse's belly with his side, he used too much force and fell to the ground. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and touched the ground with his back, allowing Luo Shuiyao to roll on him. His back hit the ground hard, and he felt a sharp pain. At this time, the horse wanted to get up again. Ye Yunzhou had no time to care about the pain in his body. He hugged Luo Shuiyao tightly and rolled on the ground several times until he was away from the horse's hooves and reached a relatively safe place. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief and helped Luo Shuiyao up from the ground.
After all this tossing and turning, Ye Yunzhou was thrown and rolled around, Luo Shuiyao's hair was completely disheveled, her clothes were messy, and her face was covered with dust. This series of rolling made her dizzy and dazed, and for a moment she couldn't figure out what was going on.
Ye Yunzhou held her in his arms, glanced at the horse that had struggled to stand up and then fallen again, and finally breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at the dazed woman in his arms, reached out to smooth down her messy hair, then bent down and picked her up sideways.
Luo Shuiyao subconsciously reached out and put her arms around his neck and shoulders, letting him lead her out of the horse farm.
After leaving the stables, Ye Yunzhou led her directly to the rest area on the right and placed her on a rattan chair. He then reached out and gently touched her forehead. After confirming that she was alright, he knelt down in front of her, his voice faintly filled with fear. "Are you frightened?"
Luo Shuiyao's eyes moved, and then she looked at him intently. Noticing that he looked very miserable, her heart tightened. She unconsciously raised her hand to wipe the dust off his face, and said in a trembling voice, "I'm fine. Thank you for saving me again."
