Chapter 125
Jing Yue is Catching Up
(Translated by: RenRen, Edited by: Yzrahc`drizzle)
On the stand, ShangGuan LingLan hid her face in embarra.s.sment. ‘Is this how you fling a horsewhip?’ She was really afraid that any moment of carelessness would directly make Jing Yue fall from the horse.
This racecourse was extremely huge, it would take a long time to complete a single round. Just a moment after Jing Yue’s and LeYang’s horses dashed forward, the Emperor and a group of princes who were just at the ceremony in the palace arrived. One after another, the court’s officials as well as the generals showed up.
When everyone heard about the two people having a match, they felt a sudden interest and laughingly thought to watch it as a warm-up for the polo match.
On the other hand, Jing Yue and LeYang were already far away and could only be seen as vague silhouettes. Princess LeYang on the lead, Jing Yue following far behind. Looking at their positions, the distance between them seemed to be getting further and further.
“Haha…… It seems the outcome has already been decided!” Xiao Ye (the Emperor) spoke laughingly from a high stand, squinting his eyes to watch the two people galloping with their horses at a distant place.
Xiao Chen sat beside Xiao Ye, in a slightly lower seat. Wearing a black palatial robe with coiled dragons embroidery, he casually sipped a mouthful of tea from the teacup in his hand. With narrowed eyes, he coldly said, “They haven’t ridden the horses back, it’s a bit too early for the Emperor to say this.”
“O? Ninth younger brother, you are very confident of this Huang Fei of yours?” Xiao Ye spoke. His eyes squinted.
Xiao Chen slightly moved his lips, not giving an answer. He squinted his eyes and continued to watch the compet.i.tion below, but at this moment, the two people in the compet.i.tion had already started to drive their horses around. Everyone had their head raised, hoping to see the two people rus.h.i.+ng their horses back.

Jing Yue fixed her gaze at Princess LeYang who was ahead of her. A cold smile forming on her lips. She leaned forward and brought her body closer to the horse, patting it as she said, “I’ve let you save your strength for so long, now let’s rus.h.!.+”
Once Jing Yue’s words fell, the whip in her hands also flung down. At that moment, her horse suddenly accelerated its speed, vigorously rus.h.i.+ng towards the finish line.
“My G.o.d! Take a look! Jing Yue’s catching up!” ShangGuan LingLan sprang up in excitement, pointing at the two persons at the racecourse.
“She’s catching up! She’s catching up!” At this moment, the situation whose result everyone originally thought have been decided was reversed. On the viewing stand, everyone stood up one after another, shouting excitedly. Even the Emperor widened his eyes in awe.
Princess LeYang naturally noticed the commotion outside the field. An alarm sounded in her heart as she turned her body to look back. She wouldn’t have noticed if she didn’t look back, yet once she did, she was left completely frightened. Not understanding what happened, Jing Yue, who she had originally left behind by a huge distance, was actually accelerating towards her at a very high speed.
“d.a.m.n it!” Fury filled Princess LeYang’s eyes upon seeing Jing Yue’s proficient riding technique.
‘Which part of her resembles someone who can’t ride a horse? In a glance, I can see already that she’s an expert at riding yet she acted as if she couldn’t ride! She really deserves to die ten thousand times!’
“Hya!” Princess LeYang ruthlessly swung the whip, thinking in her heart that no matter what, she must not be overtaken by Jing Yue!
Jing Yue’s eyes were narrowed as she stared at the horse under Princess LeYang. Because it had already used a lot of strength, it no longer had the strength to rush forward. Meanwhile, her horse was not the same as it had run while maintaining a moderate speed. It rushed forward at the best time.
The distance between the two people shortened at lightning speed. When Princess LeYang turned her head around, Jing Yue’s horse was already running to her side. Jing Yue slowly turned her head looking at Princess LeYang and smilingly said, “Sorry, I’ll go first.”
