The Whole Dynasty Spoils the Tyrant's Beloved Youngest Daughter-Chapter 349 - 259: Wanting Ye Ying

Jun Ning, who was closely chasing behind, panicked upon seeing the river ahead.

She shouted desperately, "Ye Ying, Ye Ying, go save Jing Shu... Jing Shu mustn’t have any accidents..."

"Ah Ning, don’t worry." A voice came from who knows where, reaching Jun Ning’s ears.

Hearing this voice, Jun Ning inexplicably felt at ease.

Jing Shu would be fine.

Just as the horse under Jing Shu stepped into the water, carrying her forward unsteadily, she almost got shaken off several times, thinking her life was hanging by a thread and she was about to die.

A broad embrace appeared behind her, holding her steady, and at the same time, a hand took the reins from her hands, helping her control the horse.

No matter what she did, the horse wouldn’t listen to her. Yet, it listened to the person behind her.

The person behind merely tugged on the reins a few times, seemingly not much different from her own tugs, and the horse became much calmer.

It stopped acting crazy, no longer ran wild with her, crossed the river peacefully, and even stopped.

It must be noted that just a moment ago, when she tugged on the horse’s reins, it seemed eager to throw her off its back and kill itself.

Sigh...

When unlucky, not only does one choke on water, but even animals give no face.

Thinking of this, Jing Shu sighed deeply.

After Ye Ying took Jing Shu across the river, he stopped the horse and lifted her off.

At this point, Jun Ning caught up, quickly jumped off her horse to check on Jing Shu, relaxed after confirming she was unharmed, and said, "Jing Shu, is this what you call knowing how to ride a horse?"

Bringing this up made Jing Shu feel particularly aggrieved, "I saw others just get on the horse and pull the reins. I thought it would be simple, but I didn’t expect..."

Didn’t expect it to be so hard and nearly cost her life.

"So, you just thought you could ride a horse by watching others?" Jun Ning zeroed in on the issue.

Jing Shu nodded sullenly, a bit puzzled, "Isn’t that how learning to ride a horse works? Watch and learn, then you know how?"

"Ah ah ah..."

Jun Ning was nearly infuriated by this remark.

How could this silly girl be so dumb? In the days when Jun Ning wasn’t around, how did she survive with such a bizarre way of thinking?

Jun Ning didn’t dare think further, she slapped her forehead, stood up, and went to the river to wash her face to cool down. After calming herself, she returned to explain to Jing Shu what it truly meant to know how to ride a horse.

After listening, Jing Shu seemed to understand somewhat.

Jun Ning had to explain several more times before Jing Shu finally got it.

Yet, Jing Shu’s mind seemed entirely not on learning to ride a horse, but on Ye Ying, who just saved her from horseback, "Auntie, who is he? Why haven’t I seen him before?"

Jing Shu spoke, staring blankly at Ye Ying who was following Jun Ning.

Although Ye Ying was blind in one eye and wore an eyepatch, he had long since honed an intimidating aura by leading the Qianji Pavilion, different from ordinary guards.

Such an aura gives a sense of security yet also makes one curious about what kind of person he truly is.

Jing Shu was particularly curious.

"His name is Ye Ying, a guard my Emperor father specially assigned to me for protection," Jun Ning said, "He just saved you, hurry and thank him."

"Thank you, Guard Ye Ying." Jing Shu said, then looked at Jun Ning, "Auntie, can you give him to me? He seems very skilled, if he protects me on the grassland and plays with me, I’ll fear nothing..."

"This..." Ye Ying carries the weight of the Qianji Pavilion responsibility. Everyone in the Pavilion recognized no one but the Pavilion Master and Ye Ying. He cannot leave.

But Jing Shu had never really asked her for anything before.

This was the first time she had proactively requested something.

Jun Ning felt troubled, should she give Ye Ying to Jing Shu or not?

Ye Ying, however, was not troubled at all; he directly refused, "Ah Ning, I am loyal only to you and follow no one else."

Jing Shu: "......"

"What, am I useless to you? Don’t you like me? Saying that?" Jing Shu pouted, "Rest assured, if you follow me, whatever my aunt can give you, I can give you too."

"It’s not about that, Ah Ning is my benefactor, and I must repay her by staying with her." Ye Ying said steadfastly.

"I am my aunt’s favorite niece, if you follow me, protect me, you are also repaying her." Jing Shu spoke with twisted logic.

However, this reasoning seemed sound at first glance. Jing Shu wasn’t wrong; following her was also a form of repaying Jun Ning.

"Auntie, please let him be mine?" Jing Shu pleaded with Jun Ning.

Jun Ning looked at Ye Ying and then at Jing Shu, finally smiling wryly.

But this stubborn girl Jing Shu, once she wanted something, she had to have it.

Ever since wanting Ye Ying, everything about horse riding and playing with her aunt was thrown out the window. Her mind was set solely on getting Ye Ying from Jun Ning to be her guard.

Jun Ning advised her but failed, so she stopped trying. She decided to wait for Jing Shu’s feverish obsession to pass; Jing Shu was usually quick to heat up and cool down.

Let’s wait, maybe in a couple of days she will stop.

But, three days passed, five days passed, ten days passed, and Jing Shu was still feverishly obsessed.

This time, as Jun Ning was about to sleep, Jing Shu came to pester her again, "Auntie, the nights in Sairu City are cold, let me warm your bed tonight?"

Though Jing Shu’s words carried a hint of flattery, Jun Ning only felt she was about to be tormented again.

Such agony.

"Jing Shu, you know what, auntie doesn’t need anyone to warm the bed, now go away, okay?" Jun Ning pulled Jing Shu out of the bed, pushed her out the door, and locked it.

Jing Shu had to leave, but judging by her sneaky demeanor, she clearly hadn’t given up and would probably come up with some troublesome scheme.

Jun Ning lay down and went to sleep, dreaming once more about the dream she’d been having lately, where she saw other things.

Besides the scenes of carnage, she saw outsiders rushing in with knives because the city gates were wide open, killing anyone they encountered, a lot of people.

The desperate cries in Sairu City never ceased.

The Crown Prince led soldiers from Sairu City to intercept, but they could not stop them at all, these people seemed to have taken some drugs, it was too crazy.

Even though the Crown Prince did his best to drive them out and eventually closed the city gate to kill these outsiders, many citizens of Sairu City still suffered heavy casualties.
