Huh? The Tyrant Cries After My Inner Thoughts Were Exposed!-Chapter 93 - 92: Su Juan in Danger

Su Juan watched the back of the Minister of War as he walked away, sighing.

[Poor Minister Nie, he thought the spring hunt would be fun, but he got yelled at by the Old Emperor on the first day, what a disaster.]

The Minister of War was hopping mad. He had never seen such a shameless person. It was one thing to call him dumb, but to say he was scolded by His Majesty!?

[The Old Emperor really needs to change that bad temper of his, or soon he won’t have any ministers left.]

Feeling the weight of responsibility growing heavier, the Old Emperor fumed. He hadn’t scolded the Minister of War, but today, Su Juan was definitely going to get an earful!

...

Minister Mo coughed lightly, "Xiao Su, weren’t you going to ride a horse? Hurry up and join the crowd, it’s lively."

Not far away, many young nobles and ladies were leading their horses, ready to enter the woods for a hunt to add some variety to the dinner tonight.

Su Juan smiled, "No rush; I’ll chat a bit more with the esteemed ministers first."

[Oh well, I’m not the kind of person who doesn’t know how to behave.]

Though Su Juan said this, her mind had already wandered elsewhere.

Minister Mo chuckled, observing the young girl being quite polite for now.

[However, considering the age difference, it’s hard to keep the conversation going. Perhaps it’s better to leave?]

Minister Mo: "..." Indeed, the politeness didn’t last long.

Commander Yan laughed, "Go on, don’t mind us old folks."

"Since Commander Yan said so, I won’t intrude anymore."

Smiling happily, Su Juan turned and left the matter of the Minister of War behind, running cheerfully towards Xie Xun and his group.

...

"Xie Xun, are you wearing a new riding outfit again?" someone shouted to Xie Xun.

The person next to him laughed, "What does he have that isn’t new?" 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

Xie Xun was wearing a red riding outfit today, even his bow and arrows were new. He was the most eye-catching in the crowd.

As Su Juan came over leading a small horse, he called out to her.

Xie Xun shouted to her, "Su Juan, come join us in the woods for hunting!"

Su Juan eagerly tugged at her horse and jogged over to him, "Sure!"

At this moment, the Old Emperor emerged from the main tent with several ministers in tow, watching the scene before him, and lamented, "Ah, to be young again..."

"I remember when I was young, I always went up the mountains with a few friends, eager to head into the woods."

Beside him, Yan Zheng and Duke Ping were also reminiscing. Being from the same generation, watching these young people stirred their emotions.

Seeing Su Juan leading a relatively small horse, the Old Emperor grumbled, "Can that girl even ride?"

The horse is fierce; she better not fall and hurt herself.

Yan Zheng replied, "She claims to know a little, but it’s probably just humility."

Otherwise, what girl who couldn’t ride would eagerly lead a horse to join them for fun?

Duke Ping laughed, "Don’t worry, if she can’t ride, let Xie Xun teach her. My son is the kindest-hearted."

It’s always more reassuring for family to teach family.

Just then, they saw Su Juan struggle with her horse, coaxing it with sweet words, then imitating others as she confidently mounted it. But before she could sit properly, the horse suddenly moved, and she didn’t have a steady grip on the reins, startling her!

The people around were also taken aback. The horse seemed to be bullying Su Juan and started galloping, causing Su Juan to scream in panic, [Ahhhhhhhh!!!!!]

Yan Zheng was speechless; her supposed familiarity with riding seemed vastly overstated.

[Help! This horse has gone crazy!!!]

Indeed, the horse seemed agitated by something, running frantically.

In that instant, the smiles on the faces of those nearby vanished, and Xie Xun immediately grabbed his reins and ran after her, shouting, "Hold the reins tight!"

But Su Juan couldn’t clearly hear what Xie Xun was saying amidst the chaos. Instinctively, she tried to reach for the reins, but with the rough ride and speed, she couldn’t get a hold of them.

Xie Xun’s face turned grim, reaching out to Su Juan, "Give me your hand!"

But how could Su Juan dare to let go? Loosening her grip would surely mean falling off.

The crowd surged toward the field, the Old Emperor’s face changing as he exclaimed, "Why pretend to know when she can’t ride!?"

In the crowd, Song Qianhang quickly mounted a horse and rushed towards Su Juan. As he caught up, he kicked off his horse and leapt over, startling everyone around!

Does Song Qianhang know what he’s doing, just charging in like that, recklessly!?

Prince Jing was also alarmed; his younger son was not skilled in such things...

The next moment, Song Qianhang landed steadily behind Su Juan, single-handedly holding onto her, grabbing the small horse’s reins tightly, forcing it to stop!

Only then did the hearts of the crowd return to their rightful places, with many praising Song Qianhang. Who would’ve thought, this seemingly unreliable second son of the Prince Mansion could save someone at a critical moment, showing bravery, wisdom, and remarkable skill!

The followers of the famous dual beauties were so excited they nearly cried: See, he was willing to risk his life to save her!

In that moment, Su Juan felt she’d met her great-grandmother, her heart pounding wildly, not even noticing who had controlled the horse.

The horse finally stopped but was still restless, the crowd surrounded them. Song Qianhang dismounted and was about to reach out to Su Juan when Xie Xun, faster, pulled Su Juan off the horse.

Song Qianhang’s hand froze momentarily, retreating before it could extend.

Liu Miaoying was pale with fright, pulling Su Juan aside to check her thoroughly, "Why did you go and ride horses for no reason?"

"I didn’t expect this to happen either." Su Juan was also still shaken.

She explained, "I’ve ridden horses before."

[Who’d have thought this little horse would be so fierce, running before I could even sit properly.]

[The groom said this horse was small and suitable for a young lady learning to ride, utter nonsense!]

Liu Xuan remarked, "Though this horse is small, its breed is notoriously aggressive, not suitable for you."

Song Qianhang was truly frightened for her, "If you want to learn to ride, I’ll choose a gentler horse for you."

Those skilled in riding knew, even if a horse is aggressive, it wouldn’t be that agitated; it seemed the horse was tampered with. But with so many people around, it’s best to feign ignorance.

Su Juan was furious, feeling she’d been tricked by the groom who handled her horse earlier.

The Old Emperor, having witnessed everything, had a stern expression, "Investigate who led this horse to her and who else had contact with it."

Yan Zheng nodded, "Yes, I’ll get on it right away."

The groom surely knew the horse’s temperament and intentionally gave such an aggressive horse to a young lady; this was clearly a malicious act.

In the distance, Song Qianfan let out a cold laugh, too bad she didn’t fall to her death, such a waste of a good horse.

He murmured, "Go dispose of the horse."

Li Ming replied solemnly, "Yes."
