Zhaoyue had a moment of hesitation; her mission was to protect Li Weiyang, but if she issued her an order, she had to obey. In a flash, she grabbed on to Jiu Gongzhu.

Palace servants screamed and ran over, clustering around Gongzhu. However, Li Weiyang's horse continued running like a mad animal; Zhaoyue tried her best to catch up, but the beast sped up as it had lost all control of its senses. In a spark of desperation, Li Weiyang drew out a dagger from her sleeve and stabbed it into the horse's head. Its speed finally slowed and collapsed on its four legs, throwing Li Weiyang off. Zhaoyue gasped and rushed over, but did not manage to catch Li Weiyang before she hit the ground.

If her master was dead, she would not live either. Zhaoyue's heart stopped for a moment.

Jiu Gongzhu stood up and saw the scene before her, crying out in alarm and pushing away the others to get to Li Weiyang. Her servants could only follow after her, watching the strange situation. At this moment, the servant who had gone for help had returned with Tuoba Yu, who did not hesitate to gallop here as fast as he could, only stopping when he reached her side.

When he saw Li Weiyang lying there, still as a statue, his heart nearly stopped.

Something had actually happened to her! He had only stepped away for a moment, what could have happened!

At the next moment, Zhaoyue had helped Li Weiyang sit up. She cradled her head in her hands, nursing her injuries. Tuoba Yu rushed forward to hold her, his heart filled with immense shock and relief. "Are you alright?!"

Jiu Gongzhu's face was streaming with tears and snot, obviously truly frightened. She was grabbing on to Li Weiyang's hand tightly, but unable say anything. It was her wilfulness that had caused Li Weiyang to fall from her horse; she had warned her against riding!

Li Weiyang rubbed her head. "I'm fine, there is no need for tears."

Jiu Gongzhu stared at her blankly, looking completely dazed.

"I'm not hurt anywhere, so don't cry. But if I had died today, it would have been you who caused my death. So in the future, don't be so wilful like this. I am here today to protect you, but if I were not around, others would not spare your life so easily. The heavens won't give you special treatment just because you are a princess." She chastised her without any hint of courtesy.

With tears in her eyes, Jiu Gongzhu nodded obediently.

Li Weiyang moved her elbow and experienced a sharp pain. Zhaoyue carefully pried away her right hand which covered her injured left elbow and discovered a patch of broken skin. It wasn't very serious, thank goodness. "Xiaojie, you'll have to quickly return to apply medicine."

She couldn't help but smile bitterly; she swore never to be a good person, but towards Jiu Gongzhu, she tended to be generous. Maybe because Jiu Gongzhu was the only one from her past who had given her a good impression, or perhaps she just had a momentary fit of compassion.

Li Weiyang told herself once more, never to be a busybody again.

Tuoba Yu had originally thought that Li Weiyang would break out into tears in fright, even though she wasn't hurt, or even berate her servants for not taking good care of her. Who knew that she did not even take it to heart, and still had a smile on her face. He suddenly felt that her smile held inexplicable goodness, like a warm summer wind, and was drunk on the beauty of it. A small smile appeared on his lips as well.
