"Fourth Sister-in-law!"

A gasp mingled with the distant sound of horses' hooves.

Xie Lian was terrified when he saw the arrow flying towards Song Qingning.

He shouted almost instinctively, trying to remind Song Qingning. When he called out "Fourth Sister-in-law," he could no longer hold the trunk in his hands.

Xie Lian threw down the kite string in his hand and subconsciously quickened his pace, running towards Song Qingning.

Song Qingning sensed the danger behind her and nimbly dodged, easily avoiding the arrow that was shot at her. However, the arrow was aimed straight at Xie Lian, who was running towards her.

"The sixth, the sixth prince..."

Madam Meng Qi, who was still in shock, spoke in a trembling voice.

The Sixth Prince was far away, but Song Qingning was skilled in martial arts, so she could avoid him, but the Sixth Prince probably couldn't.

Not far away, Xiao Ling also watched this scene, a hint of interest appearing in his eyes.

Having fought Song Qingning so many times on the battlefield, he knew her keenness and skill all too well. Even if an arrow came from behind, it wouldn't be difficult for her to dodge it.

But he never expected that the sixth prince would be so willing to risk his life for Song Qingning.

His action of running to save her was without hesitation.

But Song Qingning avoided danger; according to the direction the arrow pointed, someone was going to die in her place.

He wanted to see Song Qingning's reaction.

Xiao Ling's eyes were burning with excitement, but that excitement was extinguished in the next instant.

He caught the arrow that flew past Song Qingning simply because he saw her.

She caught it at such a fast speed!

A hint of disappointment flashed in Xiao Ling's eyes. But when she thought of Prince Yu's purpose today and looked at the Sixth Prince Xie Lian, her disappointment was quickly replaced by a different kind of interest.

Xie Lian stopped in his tracks.

He stared at Song Qingning holding the arrow in her hand, amazed by his fourth sister-in-law's agile movements. After a moment of stunned silence, he remembered the box he had thrown on the ground earlier.

The box also contained the kite he wanted to give to his fourth sister-in-law.

Everything happened so fast that everyone's attention was completely focused on the arrow, to the point that they ignored the sound of the startled horses' hooves.

By the time everyone noticed, the sound of horses' hooves was already very close.

Several horses seemed to have gone mad, neighing as they charged forward, and in an instant, the people around them fled in panic.

The arrow's arrival was too mysterious, and so was the horse's.

Song Qingning quickly realized that the arrow was aimed at her, but the horse was aimed at Xie Lian.

Several horses galloped behind Xie Lian, heading towards him.

Closer to the horse was Meng Yushu behind Xie Lian.

Holding the kite string in his hand, Meng Yushu was unaware of the danger behind him. He picked up the trunk that the Sixth Prince had dropped earlier and grabbed the kite string that the Sixth Prince had thrown away when he ran towards Song Qingning.

"Sixth Brother, Sixth Brother, your kite is still flying, and it's flying very high!" Meng Yushu ran happily towards the Sixth Prince.

He wanted to return the kite string to the Sixth Prince so that the two could continue their competition and see whose kite flew higher.

Xie Lian turned around, his eyes filled with terror.

He should have dodged to the side; as long as he wasn't in the path of those galloping horses, he would have been safe.

But in that instant, he only had eyes for Meng Yushu.

"Yu Shu..." This time, Xie Lian instinctively faced the direction from which Meng Yu Shu and Ma Fei came.

Song Qingning was also with him.

Song Qingning rushed over, faster than him. Just as the horse was about to step on Meng Yushu's small body, Song Qingning wrapped his arms around his waist and pulled him to his side.

They didn't dare to delay for even a moment.

They caught Meng Yushu and quickly turned back.

"Sixth brother, give me your hand!" Song Qingning shouted.

Xie Lian stared at the horse behind Song Qingning, and for a moment, he was stunned.

Several horses were chasing closely behind Fourth Sister-in-law, their distance too close. Fourth Sister-in-law might be able to avoid them with Yu Shu, but if she took herself along as well.

I'm afraid all three of them will be trampled to death under the horses' hooves.

"Sixth Brother!" Song Qingning had already approached Xie Lian, but he didn't move, so Song Qingning called out again.

Xie Lian snapped out of his daze and reached out his hand to Song Qingning.

But just as Song Qingning's hand was about to grab his, it withdrew.

Song Qingning missed her target.

In an instant, something exploded in Song Qingning's mind. Everything happened in a flash, until she led Meng Yushu to avoid the route of several galloping horses.

The gasps and exclamations around her reached her ears, leaving only a buzzing in her mind.

"Sixth Brother, Sixth Brother!" Meng Yushu's cries echoed through the sky.

Several horses galloped past and disappeared from sight.

With her back to Song Qingning, she only saw Meng Yushu running towards her with a look of terror in his eyes, repeatedly calling out "Sixth Brother," which made her heart tremble.

Not far away, a carriage had just stopped when the calls of "Sixth Brother" reached Consort Hui's ears.

Sixth Brother...

Only Meng Yushu called Liu'er "Sixth Brother".

The sound was heart-wrenching, filled with grief. A guess in Consort Hui's mind instantly drained her of her strength.

Then she thought of the unease that had been lingering in her heart all day long.

She was so uneasy that she couldn't care less about anything else and secretly left the Cold Palace. She wanted to personally guard Liu'er to feel at ease.

But she never expected that when she arrived at Liu'er's palace, Liu'er was not there.

Only then did she learn that Liu'er had left the palace.

She immediately chased after him.

These calls of "Sixth Brother"...

"No, my sixth son, he is clearly much better now!" Consort Hui's eyes flickered as she took a deep breath, as if she had finally gathered the strength to face the situation.

She quickly got off the carriage, her legs went weak as soon as her feet touched the ground.

She struggled to stay upright and ran in the direction from which the sound came.

The closer they got, the clearer the voice became, and they also heard another voice besides "Sixth Brother".

"Don't cry."

His voice was weak, as if he were in great pain, yet it also contained a forced smile.

That was Liu'er's voice.

"Sixth Brother, please don't die, please don't die!" Meng Yushu touched the person on the ground. The white clothes that Sixth Brother was wearing today were now stained with blood.

His hands were covered in blood when he touched them.

"I was going to die anyway. I thought I could... But, but it's okay. At least we flew a kite together, Yushu..."

Xie Lian forced a smile.

He felt the blood rushing to his chest and tried hard to suppress it, preventing the blood from spurting from his mouth.

Yu Shu is so young, he has never seen such a scene before, and it would frighten him.

He glanced at the kite that had fallen sometime in the distance and deliberately sent Meng Yushu away, saying, "Yushu, go and pick up the kite."

"Sixth Brother..."

"Go quickly, I want to fly a kite. Yushu, go and get it for Sixth Brother," Xie Lian urged.

"Fourth Brother, wait for me."

Meng Yushu got up crying and then ran towards the kite over there.

Xie Lian watched his retreating figure, and then his fourth sister-in-law walked over.

He saw the anger and blame in his fourth sister-in-law's eyes. She must be blaming him for stopping earlier.

But in an instant, anger and blame were replaced by urgency and worry.

He saw his fourth sister-in-law hurriedly take off her earring and then take a pill out of it.

With trembling hands, Song Qingning stuffed the pill into Xie Lian's mouth. She opened her mouth, but her voice trembled uncontrollably.

"Swallow it, you'll be fine. I'll take you back to the city to find a doctor to treat your injuries!"
