The nobles and ladies by the stream had finally waited for Chu Qinghuang to leave, and they were determined to perform well at the poetry meeting.

However, the wine cup had only traveled two rounds along the stream. Ling Jing wrote a poem, which won the applause of the whole audience, and just wiped away the bad mood that was just affected by Chu Qinghuang. The second cup of wine happened to stop in front of Wen Zhan. The second young master Wen drank the wine and was about to write a poem when a shrill scream rang out in the mountains.

Everyone was startled and stood up at the same time to look in the direction of the mountains.

"Ah! Help!"

"Help! Snake! Ah! Someone come——"

The terrified cry for help showed signs of getting more and more intense, and each one was more shrill than the last, and everyone looked at it anxiously.

"It seems to be the voice of the Sixth Princess."

"It is indeed the Sixth Princess... What happened to her?"

"Was she offending the Princess again?"

"It shouldn't be this time." Wen Zhan frowned, "I seem to hear the Sixth Princess shouting that there is a snake?"

Snake?

Everyone was startled, and then looked at each other anxiously.

They knew that there were many insects and snakes in the mountains, but they did not go deep into the outer edge of the dense forest, so they should not provoke snakes.

They had held many Qushui Liushang poetry gatherings here in previous years, and they had never encountered the situation of being besieged by snakes. What happened this time?

"Who among you knows martial arts?"

"Oh no! The Seventh Princess is also on the mountain." Wen Zhan's face changed slightly, and he raised his foot and went towards the mountain. "The Sixth Princess screamed so miserably, but the Seventh Princess did not move. Is she in danger?"

His expression was so real that others were also affected, and they couldn't help but think of this possibility.

"Her Royal Highness the Princess is the most beloved daughter of the Emperor. If she has an accident, I'm afraid that everyone present today will not be able to escape responsibility."

As soon as these words came out, the others changed their expressions.

Regardless of whether they hated the eldest princess or were afraid of her, they could not deny that Chu Qinghuang was indeed the emperor's favorite daughter. As legitimate sons and daughters of aristocratic families, they were clearly aware that if the eldest princess had an accident, the emperor would be furious and they would be lucky to survive. At the very least, their father would lose his position and title, and at the worst, he would be thrown into prison and executed.

Thinking of this, the young masters ran towards the mountains, and in a hurry they even forgot to call for the guards to save them. However, as soon as they ran to the mountain path, they saw the staggering Sixth Princess running towards them with a pale face.

The Sixth Princess, who had always been elegant and dignified, had messed up her hair, her face was pale and bloodless, and her gorgeous and beautiful dress was stained with mud and grass due to the fall. She looked really out of shape and extremely embarrassed.

Feng Jinzhi behind her was not much better. His face was pale and stiff, and his forehead was covered with cold sweat. He could not hide the fear in his eyes. He stumbled several times and almost fell. He looked as embarrassed as he could be.

Everyone watched in silence.

"Help!" Chu Yiling looked up and saw the people in front of her. Her eyes went dark and she staggered and fell over. She was still shouting, "Help, there are snakes, many snakes..."

"Sixth Princess!" A maid rushed forward in two steps and supported Chu Yiling in time, "Sixth Princess!"

Everyone looked up the mountain and saw no snakes. They only saw Chu Qinghuang walking slowly with a calm and indifferent look. She had a slender figure and cold and distant eyebrows.

The face of the girl, who was so beautiful that she could be called a city, was frosty, which made people afraid.

"Your Highness, the Princess." Wen Zhan walked over worriedly and looked Chu Qinghuang up and down, "Are you okay? The Sixth Princess said there was a snake, I was so worried."

"Where did the snake come from?" Chu Qinghuang frowned and looked at the fainted Chu Yiling impatiently, "She has hysteria?"

Huh?

Everyone's expression froze slightly, and they turned their heads unconsciously to look at Chu Yiling who fell in the arms of the maid. After a moment, they turned their heads to look at Feng Jinzhi who was also in a mess, with an inexplicable strange expression.

What happened? Was there a snake or not?

The Sixth Princess had hysteria, and Feng Jinzhi also had hysteria?

While everyone was silent, a panicked shout rang out in the mountains: "Help! Help! There are snakes! Run! The snakes are chasing us!"

Everyone looked up and saw several royal nobles with messy hair and pale faces running down in a panic. They all looked terrified and stumbled all the way, as if they had seen a ghost.

Everyone subconsciously looked at Chu Qinghuang again. Her Royal Highness the Princess was still indifferent, distant, calm and composed, as if she would not change her face even if Mount Tai collapsed in front of her.

Everyone's expressions became more and more strange.

So except for the Princess, everyone else who went up the mountain had hysteria?
