Chapter 643: Another Fall (3)

It was at this time that Feudal Princess Minghui suddenly charged out from the left, her body bent backwards at what seemed like an impossible angle. She swung her polo mallet, and she stole the ball in a shocking move! The ball was sent flying in an arc, and in two seconds, the ball entered the opponents net with a pop.

Royal Princess Duanjias red team had scored a point!

Loud cheers immediately burst out from the ladies on the viewing platform.

Even Princess Wei had a wide smile on her face.

Following closely after that, the red team scored another point, making Honoured Lady Xincheng look at Royal Princess Duanjia in a different light.

The super amateur Chu Lian felt that she was actually going to be carried to victory.

At this moment, at an angle hidden to the others, Feudal Princess Anmin signaled at Prince Hexis twin daughters Donger and Naner with her eyes.

Naner nodded.

This time, it was the blue teams turn to serve the ball.

Royal Princess Nanzhang landed a heavy hit on the polo ball, sending it flying up in the air and towards the red teams side of the field.

The midfielders, Naner and Donger, whipped their horses forward and wildly charged into the red teams territory.

In the middle of their charge, Naner and Donger glanced at each other.

The heads of their horses turned, and they started galloping towards Chu Lian instead.

Donger swung her mallet, which caused the polo ball to roll in Chu Lians direction.

Naner twitched the reins of her horse, causing it to speed up.

At this point, Royal Princess Duanjia and the others were still on the other side of the field, and they didnt have any way of getting there before Naner and Donger.

When Chu Lian noticed that Naner and Donger were charging towards her, her brows furrowed, as she instinctively felt a sense of danger approaching.

If they wanted to hit her horse, then she just had to dodge.

However, it was right at this moment that the small polo ball coincidentally hit the butt of Chu Lians steed.

The horse was startled badly, causing it to whinny and rear up. It started to run off without paying any heed to Chu Lians commands.

Now that her opportunity to escape had been taken away, Naner and Donger rushed to Chu Lians side.

In a seemingly accidental manner, they slammed into Chu Lian on both sides. They used their mallets to control the polo ball while Chu Lian was sandwiched between them and unable to move.

When Donger and Naner were fighting to snatch the polo ball on the ground, their mallets inadvertently hit Chu Lians horse.

After they galloped away, Chu Lians horse suddenly flew into a rage, with every intention to fling its rider off.

Chu Lian was still an amateur at horse riding and she hadnt learned enough riding techniques yet. She didnt know how to calm the horse down and control it.

Princess Wei and the distant Royal Princess Duanjia felt their hearts stop. Princess Wei immediately ordered one of her servants who knew martial arts to rescue Chu Lian.

However, it was still too late. They were too far away, and they were about to witness Chu Lian being flung off a crazed horse.

In the end, Chu Lian was thrown off when she lost hold of the reins

She cried out in alarm, but right at this moment, a majestic horse suddenly charged onto the field.

The horse leapt over the wooden fence surrounding the field easily, and the rider of the horse actually jumped off the horses back without any regard for his own safety.

A tall and slender figure caught Chu Lian in mid-air, then embraced her tightly.

Moments later, there was the muffled sound of bodies hitting the ground. The world seemed to go out of focus for Chu Lian as she rolled uncontrollably for a few rounds before coming to a stop.

An unfamiliar chilly fragrance surrounded her, and the embrace she felt wasnt one that was familiar to her.

Once she recovered from the shock, Chu Lian calmed her emotions, and slowly opened her eyes.

What entered her eyes first was a black robe, then fair skin, a prominent Adams apple, and a clean and smooth-looking chin with slight traces of stubble.

The shape of the chin was very delicate-looking, and not at all what she was familiar with.

Chu Lian was immediately frozen from this. There was fear, shock, anxiety and other negative emotions in her heart.

This man who had suddenly appeared wasnt her husband, He Changdi!

Who was it!?

In the next second, Chu Lian felt the hold on her waist tighten and a strangers hand impudently caressing her waist.

She then heard a familiar voice from above her head, My dear Lianer, are you alright?

That That was Xiao Bojians voice!

Chu Lian sucked in her breath through her teeth. The shock of learning this made her push away the man embracing her with everything she had!

However, the difference between a man and a womans physical strength wasnt so easy to overcome. Xiao Bojians arms were like steel clamps locking her in place, she couldnt move at all.

When Chu Lian had been flung off her horse, the audience on the viewing platform was in an uproar. Many of them hadnt expected such an accident to happen in a simple game of womens polo.

Even Imperial Concubine Wei showed some semblance of shock.

Right now, it was already too late for anyone to save Honoured Lady Jinyi. It didnt matter how good their reflexes were.

Just as everyone had determined that Honoured Lady Jinyi was destined to be a cripple, someone from outside the field charged in, and even leapt off his horse to save Honoured Lady Jinyi without any regard for his own safety.

Someone on the viewing platform said with astonishment, Is isnt that Scholar Xiao?

With that reminder, everyone immediately recognised the person who had saved Chu Lian. That person was indeed Xiao Bojian.

Xiao Bojian had been born with amazing features that were unforgettable to anyone he met. He was also the top scholar of the imperial examinations, which meant that he had left an incredibly deep impression in the minds of others.

Practically everybody in the capital knew of him.

It wasnt strange at all for someone to recognise him at this occasion.
