"Yun Shang..." Yun Shang heard two exclamations; one was from Prince Jing, and the other was from Emperor Ning.
Yun Shang was getting closer and closer to the ground. She saw a figure in purple and a figure in red rushing toward her. Then she fell into a man's warm arms safely.
Even though she managed to control her speed as she fell, she bumped her head on the man's body. Prince Jing's voice came from above, "What's going on?"
Yun Shang puckered her lips and raised her eyes. Wang Jinyan stood in front of her with an anxious and remorseful expression, "Your Highness, are you okay?"
Yun Shang remained speechless though frightened. After a long time, she shook her head and pointed at Ta Yun who was lying on the ground, "I don't know what has happened. Ta Yun was okay a moment ago, but suddenly he acted crazy..." While speaking, Yun Shang looked at Yu'er and Wenxi. They seemed a little disappointed.
Prince Jing frowned as he stared at Yun Shang. He knew Yun Shang knew martial arts, besides, his Ta Yun... Prince Jing turned to Ta Yun as he thought about the situation. Then he took Yun Shang's arm and walked to Ta Yun. Ta Yun turned its head to Prince Jing. He was foaming at the mouth.
Prince Jing narrowed his eyes and stared at Ta Yun for a moment before he turned to Emperor Ning, "Your Majesty, Ta Yun must have eaten something wrong. Please allow me to have Ta Yun examined. I will find out what happened..."
Emperor Ning looked at Prince Jing and then turned to Yun Shang, who was leaning against Prince Jing as if she were still suffering from shock. Emperor Ning nodded, "Of course, I believe you. I have always thought of you to be capable. Yun Shang has not recovered from the shock yet. Let her rest first."
Yun Shang drew several letters on Prince Jing's back with her index finger secretly. Prince Jing became rigid, and he raised his head, "Your Majesty, the competition is not yet finished. As the referee, I shouldn't leave. We will know what happened to Ta Yun later. Before I came here, I was afraid someone might get hurt, so I invited physician Qingwei. Although physician Qingwei is not as famous as physician Xue Yan, his medical skill is also superb. I'll ask physician Qingwei to treat Yun Shang now."
Emperor Ning frowned. Obviously, he didn't agree with what Prince Jing said. Seeing his expression, Yun Shang let go of Prince Jing's arms and stood straight. She said to Emperor Ning, "Father, since I'm out of the Imperial Palace, I don't want to go back so early. Father, I'm okay. Just ask physician Qingwei to treat me later."
Since Yun Shang didn't want to leave, Emperor Ning nodded, "Fine. Ask physician Qingwei to come."
In a while, a grey-haired old man came and bowed, "Your Majesties, Your Highnesses..."
"Physician Qingwei, please don't be formal. Just examine Yun Shang to see if she is hurt." Emperor Ning immediately ordered.
Physician Qingwei stopped talking and walked to Yun Shang, "Your Highness, may I feel your pulse, please?"
Yun Shang nodded as she stretched out her hand.
Physician Qingwei put his fingers on her wrist. After a long time, he narrowed his eyes, took back his hand and made a bow with hands folded in front, "Your Majesty, please don't worry. Princess Yun Shang is fine."
Emperor Ning's anger settled. He nodded and was about to say something, but a sudden burst of noise interrupted him.
Everyone looked in the direction of the noise and saw several people rushing out from the dense forest on horses. The leading man was Li Yaoqi, Grand Councilor Li's eldest grandson. He held a lady in purple in his arms.
The Empress's face changed as she stood up and yelled, "Hua Jing?"
When they got closer, the Empress's face turned pale as she confirmed that the lady was Hua Jing. She looked at Hua Jing carefully and saw blood stains on her purple robe. The Empress's heart did a flip. She immediately walked down from the stand, "What's going on? Is Hua Jing okay?"
Yaoqi got off the horse with Hua Jing, "Your Highness, Princess Hua Jing was attacked by a black bear, and she is hurt..."
