Chapter 250 Ye Lan Yi 2
The horse beneath her crotch galloped faster and faster, its hooves flying and kicking up clouds of dust. An Lingrong gripped the reins tightly, a look of exertion gradually emerging from her once confident face. Her face flushed crimson with the effort, her arms trembled slightly, her slender knuckles white as she gripped the reins tightly. Beads of sweat formed on her forehead and trickled down her cheeks. Her body, which had initially managed to sway with the horse's movements, now began to lose its rhythm, and a hint of panic crossed her eyes.
Ye Lanyi had noticed that something was wrong with her and was extremely anxious. She steered her horse and tried to get closer to An Lingrong. When she got close, a fierce look flashed in her eyes. She took a deep breath and suddenly stood up lightly from the horse's back. Then, with the help of the saddle, she leaped high like an eagle with spread wings, drew a neat arc in the air, and landed steadily on An Lingrong's horse's back, then quickly snatched the reins from her hands.
She tensed the muscles in her arms and pulled the reins back hard. The horse, feeling the sudden pull, neighed loudly, raised its front hooves high and stopped.
An Lingrong was caught off guard. Under the violent impact, her body quickly leaned back and she screamed in surprise.
Seeing this, Ye Lanyi quickly stretched out a hand, tightly hugged An Lingrong's waist, and pulled her towards her.
Before they could even breathe a sigh of relief, the horse, startled by An Lingrong's cries, kicked wildly with its front hooves, its body lurching violently. An Lingrong's face paled with fear, and she instinctively clung to Ye Lanyi's arm. Although Ye Lanyi was an accomplished horseman, with An Lingrong by her side, she couldn't use her horsemanship. She could only hold An Lingrong close to her, loosen the reins, and let the horse throw them both off.
Fortunately, Ye Lanyi was prepared. The moment she landed, she hugged An Lingrong tightly and, without hesitation, turned her back to the ground. With a dull thud, her back landed hard, sending dust billowing into the air. Simultaneously, she pressed her feet firmly against the ground, shielding An Lingrong's head with her arms. She lifted her upper body slightly, trying her best to steady herself and mitigate the impact of the fall.
After stopping, Ye Lanyi quickly stood up. Ignoring the scratches and pain on her body, she hurriedly helped An Lingrong up. Her eyes were full of concern and worry. She asked anxiously, "Madam, are you hurt anywhere?"
As she spoke, she looked An Lingrong up and down, and her hand unconsciously brushed away the dust on An Lingrong's hair.
An Lingrong felt her head pounding with dizziness, as if a swarm of bees were buzzing and whirring around inside her, clouding her mind. She closed her eyes slightly, took a deep breath, and tried to regain consciousness.
Then, she tried to gently move her body, first shaking her arms slightly, then kicking her legs. She found that her hands and feet seemed to be able to move normally according to her will, and she didn't feel anything wrong with her body for the time being. She breathed a sigh of relief and quickly responded, "I... I'm fine. How about you?"
Ye Lanyi shook her head, forcing a smile: "I'm not in the way, as long as the queen is okay."
An Lingrong looked at Ye Lanyi's once delicate face, now covered in dust. Her clothes on her back were torn in several places, revealing the bruised skin underneath. Her heart ached, and her eyes welled up. "It's all my fault. You got hurt too! If I hadn't pretended to be able to ride a horse, things wouldn't have turned out like this."
"Your Highness, you are too kind. It is my fault for not taking good care of you!" Ye Lanyi responded hastily, her eyes full of sincerity. "It is my duty to protect you. I only suffered a minor injury, which is really nothing. It is a blessing that you are not hurt."
At this time, Su Ye also hurried over. She was running out of breath, her face full of fear, and she hurriedly shouted: "Empress! How are you? Are you hurt?" She took two steps at a time and came to An Lingrong, tears already in her eyes.
An Lingrong quickly said, "I'm fine, don't worry, go check on her."
Su Ye quickly took her pulse and found nothing serious. She looked around and said, "Let's go back to the sky first. I'll check Sister Ye carefully!"
Back in the palace, the palace servants acted quickly to help the two take off their dusty clothes and prepare to bathe and change clothes.
An Lingrong was not seriously injured, just some scrapes on her arm. The scraped area was slightly red, which was a bit glaring, but fortunately, no bones were injured, and it would not cause too serious consequences.
Ye Lanyi's condition was more serious than hers. There was a palm-sized red swelling on her back, which was shocking. However, she gritted her teeth and said nothing, letting Su Ye massage her to reduce the swelling, her eyes piercing with tenacity. An Lingrong looked at Ye Lanyi's wound, filled with guilt.
While treating the wound, she suddenly remembered something: "Oh right, I must not let Sister Mei know about this!"
"It's too late, I already know!" A crisp voice suddenly sounded at the stairs.
An Lingrong knew without even looking that her sister was coming!
She first looked An Lingrong up and down, and when her eyes fell on the wound on An Lingrong's body, she couldn't help but frown. She reached out her hand and carefully checked the wound. After confirming that it was nothing serious, she breathed a sigh of relief and gently scolded her, "Can you be more at peace? You always make me worry so much. I heard that you fell off the horse, and my heart was in my throat!"
Although the words were blaming, his eyes were filled with unconcealable worry.
An Lingrong lowered her head, like a child who had done something wrong, "Sister, I know I was wrong."
Seeing her like this, Shen Meizhuang was both angry and amused. She sighed softly, shook her head helplessly, and scolded her, "You are always so reckless. If you want to ride a horse, tell me in advance. If I can't accompany you, I can also arrange it in advance!"
"Sister, I know I was wrong. This time, because of my bravado, I got Miss Ye into trouble. I blame myself so much!"
Shen Meizhuang turned her head and cast her gaze at Ye Lanyi standing beside her. Gratitude suddenly filled her eyes as she spoke slowly, "This time, it's all thanks to Miss Ye's help. If it weren't for Miss Ye's presence, the consequences would have been disastrous. I will remember this kindness in my heart and will definitely repay you in the future."
Ye Lanyi hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, you are too polite. This is what I should do."
An Lingrong thought for a moment and said, "Sister, she's injured. Let her stay with me to recover from her injuries. Send someone to Baijun Garden to tell them she won't be working there for the next few days."
Shen Meizhuang nodded: "Of course, I will ask the Ministry of Internal Affairs to send some medicine and supplements for injuries later. You two need to take them, okay?"
"understood!"
