After Rebirth, She Becomes the Revenge Queen-Chapter 202 - 201: Something spooky is going on!

The crowd below erupted in uproar, and cries of astonishment echoed from all directions!

Almost at the same instant, Fu Zhen leaped forward to the railing at the front of the stand!

An accident during an exercise is inevitable, allowing problems to surface early is the purpose of a rehearsal, but it just so happened that it was Zhe Yu, whose identity is rather delicate, who got into trouble!

Fu Zhen stared intently at the center of the chaos and saw Zhe Yu, though fallen to the ground, was still valiant. Just as his body was about to hit the ground, he suddenly leaped back onto the horse with a single-footed jump!

Fu Zhen held tightly onto the railing, staring intently below, only then did she realize that it should have been only the horse to Zhe Yu’s left that was startled.

But that horse galloped wildly, charging into several other horses, including Zhe Yu’s, causing Zhe Yu, the commander, to become the center of the collision, resulting in him falling off!

In the distance, Pei Zhan and Liang Chen glanced towards this scene, remaining calm on their horses, as Zhe Yu’s camp was none of their concern. They dispatched a deputy general to inspect, then commanded the generals around them to change formations.

This small disturbance, in a large-scale military exercise, was naturally not enough to be a distraction.

Fu Zhen’s gaze turned back to Zhe Yu.

This young and brave general held his ground, his gaze steady, clearly striving to maintain the camp’s order.

But just as he raised his hand to swing his spear, Fu Zhen caught sight of a small patch of crimson on the fabric linking the front and back of the armor under his left armpit!

An external injury like this could hardly result from a mere horse collision, especially in such a vulnerable area under the armpit!

In this short span of time, blood had already soaked through his clothes, a testament to the weapon’s sharpness, and the depth of the wound!

Fu Zhen instinctively straightened her posture.

"Someone’s playing tricks!"

Guo Song whispered from behind.

This was obvious!

But why at this moment? And why specifically Zhe Yu, the nephew of Princess Rong, who also has a rivalry of interests with the Zhang Family?

Others might not know about the factional struggles in Prince Rong’s Mansion, but Fu Zhen knew full well, how could she not be alert at this moment?

She immediately looked over the crowd, as the commotion slightly subsided after a brief flare-up, yet many still called and discussed at the railing.

The wound was under Zhe Yu’s armpit, and their swift maneuvers with blades and spears during practice made it difficult to spot, unless one was in a specific position or closely watched his every move, like Fu Zhen was doing.

People thought this was merely an accident and continued to cheer him on.

Recalling Zhe Yu’s fall, Fu Zhen quickly looked toward the direction where his wound was facing previously, just as another cry erupted!

It turned out Zhe Yu, who had just remounted, had fallen off again!

And this time, there was no chance for him to recover. With a heavy thud, he fell under the horse’s belly, curling up and rolling a few times!

"This isn’t good!"

Fu Zhen, experienced as she was, knew a fall like this signaled more than just a common injury!

The key was that with his fall, the startled horse began to jump again, causing chaos below, like a pot of boiling porridge!

This was definitely no ordinary scheme!

Fu Zhen focused intently on the crowd, and amidst it, a commoner caught her attention!

This man, though clad in ordinary attire, had sharp eyes and nimble movements. Just as Zhe Yu fell, he swiftly wove through the crowd, making his escape!...

Fu Zhen immediately instructed Guo Song, "Tell Zhang Cheng to stay with Miss Xie. Yang Tong should inform the Great General. You and Li Jiang, along with Li Huai, come with me quickly!"

As soon as the words left her mouth, several guards from Pei Zhan’s side arrived: "The General is concerned for Young Madam’s safety, and has specially dispatched us to escort her!"

Fu Zhen glanced over at Pei Zhan, seeing him quickly make a hand gesture in their direction, then alongside Liang Chen, they shouted orders to their own subordinates.

Not delaying, she ordered a few people to search the crowd, then vaulted over the railing, using the chaos of the crowd as cover, she swiftly leapt forward!

The power to decide lies with Prince Rong; outsiders have no way to intervene. With Zhe Yu down, who stands to gain is evident, none other than someone from the Zhang Family!

Xie Yu, seated at the back, was alarmed and hurriedly called out, "Sister, don’t go!"

People began moving away, calling and shouting, while those interested gathered around, and the generals responsible for maintaining the outposts hurriedly led soldiers to maintain order.

Liang Zhi had just arrived with his troops, and upon spotting Xie Yu running around, he shouted, "Where did this little girl come from! Quickly pull her aside!"

He finished speaking, pulled her to where there were fewer people, and blocked her way, then took control over the scene from a high vantage point!

Past the stand, the crowd thinned out, and the fleeing man noticed someone following him, quickening his pace further!

Fu Zhen passed through the crowd, snatching a commoner’s garment, grabbing a woman’s hair ribbon, and swiftly pulling off a girl’s headscarf. While pursuing, she donned the garment, pulled her long hair into a bun, and covered her face with the scarf, then sped up her chase.

Guo Song and his team were faster. As soon as the man entered an alley, they split into two groups, taking shortcuts to block the path ahead.

When Fu Zhen and her men reached the alley, the man found himself with nowhere to run!

"Detain him!"

"Young... Master!"

Just as Fu Zhen gave the order, Guo Song came up from behind, calling her sharply, "There’s something strange at the exercise field!"

Fu Zhen paused as he reached her side and said, "Zhe Yu, injured, has withdrawn, and the one replacing him is Zhang Shicheng!"

"Zhang Shicheng?!"

Fu Zhen exclaimed in surprise.

And at this moment, the man they captured also showed a look of surprise!

"Are you certain it’s him?" she asked.

"Certain!" Guo Song nodded, "Prince Rong has arrived, and although he perused the roster, it listed Zhang Shicheng as the next replacement!"

Fu Zhen looked at the man in front of her and developed some suspicion.

Zhe Yu’s injury naturally required a replacement.

And even if it wasn’t originally Zhang Shicheng, the Zhang Family would surely put him forward.

But why would the Zhang Family act so openly?

Doesn’t this blatant seizure equate to directly tearing apart relations with Princess Rong?

Zhe Yu was Princess Rong’s carefully cultivated trusted subordinate; would she let this slide if the Zhang Family dared to act?

Despite the Zhang Family’s power, Mrs. Zhang is just a daughter-in-law, only the Princely Heir’s consort. How could she compare to Prince Rong’s wife, the Princely Heir’s own mother?

Mrs. Zhang couldn’t possibly be ignorant of these truths!

In other words, she shouldn’t be so blatant, injuring Zhe Yu and immediately putting Zhang Shicheng before Prince Rong!

"Report!"

Suddenly, as she pondered, a guard rushed up from behind: "Someone is following us! Their identity is unclear, but they were tailing this man!"

Fu Zhen made a decisive call: "Quickly gag him! Find a place to detain and hide him!"
