After settling the matters in the manor, Mu Yunyao headed over to the Imperial Palace to meet up with the crowd.
Although the Emperor had arranged for officials to bring their women to attend the Autumn Hunt, there were no compulsory requirements. For example, Second Wife Qi couldn't leave the estate, and her daughter didn't want to attract the attention of the Grand Princess, so she didn't participate.
Mu Yunyao had just walked out of the manor when she saw another carriage in front of the gate.
Jin Lan whispered, "Miss, that seems to be the First Lady's carriage." Could it be that Yu Yi was injured to such an extent, and she still insisted on going to the hunting grounds?
Mu Yunyao turned around and saw the unfriendly First Wife walking out, followed by Su Yaxian and the other two concubines. With a quick thought, she realized that this must have been arranged by the Old Wife's Sun family.
"Greetings, first aunt, and third cousin."
The First Wife glanced at Mu Yunyao with a stiff expression. She didn't even bother to put on an act and directly headed towards her carriage. Su Ya Jing and Su Ya Ling held their breath as they followed behind the first wife, not daring to make a sound. However, it was Su Ya Xian who turned around and looked at her apologetically.
Mu Yunyao stood up with a smile at the corner of her mouth. "Let's go."
The Autumn Hunt this time was exceptionally grand because of Grand Princess Yide. Originally, twenty thousand imperial guards had been prepared to escort them along the way, but with so many female members, the second prince, King Yu, had dispatched twenty thousand imperial guards to coordinate with them. The horse carriage stopped. Just as Mu Yunyao wanted to get off, she heard the sound of horses hissing outside, then the carriage violently shook. Fortunately, Si Jiu saw that the situation wasn't good and did his best to support her, so he didn't let her fall from the carriage.
Red and swollen.
Killing intent flashed in Mu Yunyao's eyes. This experience suddenly reminded her of her previous life, when she fell from the carriage and landed in front of King Yue.
"What's going on?"
Right after he said those words, the sorrowful cry of a horse could be heard. Following which, the horse carriage swayed once more and a strong stench of blood emanated from the carriage.
The originally lively and relaxed atmosphere froze into silence. Everyone began to drive the carriage away, and for a time, only the carriage that Mu Yunyao was sitting on stopped in the middle.
Hearing the commotion, the imperial guards rushed to surround the Second Prince, King Yu, who was riding a horse. When he saw the situation, he frowned, "What happened?" A young man came forward and bowed towards King Yu, "Your Highness, the Meng family's carriage accidentally collided with this carriage, to the point that the horses were startled. Their horses were about to collide with their superiors, but they had no choice but to kill the horses.
"Forgive me."
"You are … "Meng Handong?"
"Reporting to King Yu, it really is me."
King Yu's eyebrows were still furrowed tightly as he looked at the carriage trapped in the blood, "Who owns this carriage? "What about the people in the car?"
Mu Yunyao's gaze was cold as she signalled for Si Shu to lift the carriage's curtain. The horse had already fallen to the ground and no sound could be heard. Blood flowed everywhere, trapping the horse carriage she was riding in into a pool of blood.
Mu Yunyao walked out of the carriage and stood at the top of the carriage. Her gaze was calm as she looked at King Yu. "My daughter, Mu Yunyao, greets Your Highness, King Yu."
King Yu looked over with a hint of surprise in his eyes, "It's you. You can't sit on the carriage anymore. I just saw that there seems to be another lady in the Su family. Go make do with it." "Thank you, your highness, I will think of a way. I never would have thought that this young master would dare draw his sword and kill a horse in front of so many noble people. This is such courage." Mu Yunyao looked at Meng Handong, who was standing to the side. Earlier, King Yue had warned her to be careful of the Meng family. She thought that she would only do so after arriving at the hunting grounds.
She had encountered them, but she hadn't expected that in front of the palace gates, Meng Handong would dare to find trouble with her. Meng Handong glanced at Mu Yunyao, his eyes slightly narrowed, "So it's little sister Yunyao. This is truly a big water rush to the Dragon King's Temple, the whole family doesn't recognize each other. I didn't expect that the person inside the carriage would be you. It's all my fault that I was shocked when I saw the horse and was afraid that something would happen to the surrounding people. That's why I pulled the carriage forward …
Since the horses have been killed, I hope little sister Yunyao won't mind. After all, no matter how precious this horse is, it can't compare to the people around us.
Mu Yunyao sneered in her heart. Meng Handong only wanted to avoid bumping into the surrounding nobles, but he didn't care that she was still in the carriage. If they were to compare notes, wouldn't it mean that she was inferior to the surrounding nobles?
"Young Master Meng is right, sometimes this person is not reasonable enough to be an animal."
"It was originally..." Meng Haodong was just about to nod his head when he heard a burst of light laughter from the surroundings. Thinking carefully about Mu Yunyao's words, he couldn't help but have a face of anger. What do you mean by people don't reason with beasts?
The corner of King Yu's mouth curled up slightly, and curiosity was added within the gaze he shot at Mu Yunyao. "Miss Mu, you might get off the car?"
Blood was all over the ground from the horses. If Mu Yunyao wanted to get off the car, her shoes and skirt would definitely be stained with dirt. But now that they were about to depart, there wouldn't be time for her to change her dress.
Mu Yunyao turned her head to look at the scholar and slightly nodded at her.
Si Jiu walked up to the horse stool and placed it upright on the ground. He then supported Mu Yunyao's waist and directly brought her down from the carriage.
Mu Yunyao's footsteps became lighter. Borrowing the strength of Si Shu, she stepped on the horse stool and lightly landed on the clean ground.
She was wearing a light apricot-colored silk dress. Her dress looked extremely elegant, and with the strength of the book and her light figure, her dress swayed as she landed, which made people unable to shift their eyes away from her.
King Yu's eyes flashed with amazement. When he looked at Meng Handong again, he could not help but feel that this person's appearance was repulsive. Wasn't this the same person who had previously taught a lesson to the arrogant and despotic Meng Yanran? You dare to use your weapon here, and even caused such a bloody scene. If you didn't want to go to the hunting grounds today, you wouldn't have wasted any time and would have had to clean up the floor yourself. Now, hurry up and tidy up the scene.
Meng Handong was shocked, he could not maintain his wild and untamed expression, and quickly clasped his hands together to plead to King Yu, "I was reckless. Please forgive me, your highness. I'll clean this up now."
"En!" King Yu looked towards Mu Yunyao and nodded his head. "Does Miss Mu need someone's help?" "Earlier, I didn't think Mu Yunyao was anything special, so I couldn't be bothered to care about how she went on her way to the hunting grounds. Now that I've discovered that this person suits my interests, I couldn't help but be a bit more concerned." Thank you, your highness, King Yu, for your arrangements. "
