Chapter 185: 185 rode together on a horse
Ye Jiu actually knew inside that perhaps it wasn’t Prince Jing’s fault that he had been switched at birth.
After all, considering his age, how old was he when I was born? Probably only fifteen or sixteen years old, right?
At the age of fifteen or sixteen, I was still a child.
And, according to the male chauvinism in this world, where men are responsible for external affairs while women take care of the household, and men don’t concern themselves with domestic matters, for Princess Consort Jing to secretly switch a child in the inner palace would actually be quite easy.

However, Ye Jiu couldn’t help wondering, it must have been because the men were too fickle that Princess Consort Jing was forced to switch a girl for a boy.
Otherwise, being the firstborn and also the legitimate heir, there was really no reason to switch the child at all!
When Ye Jiu blurted out those words, many people heard, including all of Sikong Mo’s subordinates, who couldn’t help but gasp at her audacity.
Since ancient times, imperial authority is paramount, and even though Prince Jing was in a sorry state at the moment, he was still not someone who could be offended at will.
Yet this girl, who had nothing to her name, dared to yell at the mighty Prince Jing – she really had a death wish.
But what was even more surprising was that while they all thought Prince Jing would definitely order them to execute this girl on the spot in a fit of rage, he just stood there, dumbfounded, without even a hint of anger on his face.
Could it be that after this capture, the famously lawless Prince Jing had become so easy to bully?
They all had their doubts, but not one dared to test him personally.
After Lin Qi had been seen to and given medication, Sikong Mo signaled to Si Rong with a glance, and Si Rong began to relay orders, “Everyone get ready, we’re setting out.”
Everyone mounted their horses neatly and in order, but Ye Jiu and Ying Luoxue didn’t know how to ride, so they had to share horses with the guards.
Ye Jiu was still alright, being young and shorter than her peers, she looked like a child, but Ying Luoxue had a tougher time.
Since ancient times, men and women were treated distinctly, Ying Luoxue was already 16, and unavoidably, there would be body contact while sharing a horse with someone else, causing her much embarrassment.
However, given the circumstances, she had to endure.
Being able to return to Dongyue with the War King and his party was already more than she could ask for, and she dared not demand anything more; besides, given the current chase, no one would allow her any additional requests.
But just as Ye Jiu was lifted onto a horse by a guard, Sikong Mo’s gaze suddenly darkened, and with a slight exertion of force, he steered his horse over.
“Come here,” Sikong Mo reached out his hand to Ye Jiu.
“What?” Ye Jiu was taken aback, her mind somewhat confused.
What exactly did this Sikong gentleman mean? It couldn’t possibly be what she was thinking, could it?
While Ye Jiu was still bewildered, Sikong Mo had already proactively brought his horse over, grabbed her arm, and with a slight pull, she was on a different horse below her.
Nestled in Sikong Mo’s embrace, particularly with his arms encircling her, Ye Jiu tried her best to reduce her presence.
Sharing a horse with this Sikong gentleman brought her more pressure than doing so with that guard – at least the pressure wasn’t as great!
Unfortunately, Sikong Mo didn’t give her the chance to object.
The sky had already turned a dusky grey, and their pace was fast. Even though they had already ridden a while during the night, running again like this caused their legs to suffer from the jolting.
But the one who was suffering the most wasn’t her, but Lin Qi.
Fortunately, Ye Jiu’s medicine was effective; otherwise, with this speed, Lin Qi would certainly have bled excessively from the jostling and have died on the spot.
