Chapter 22: The Road to Rivalry is Narrow
On the other side, Su Ruoxi came to the street with a bag of gold.
After she got married, she didn't visit Pingyang City well.
As the saying goes, rich is the uncle, and this saying is the same no matter which dynasty it is.
Su Ruoxi first went to Qianzhuang to change the change, and then went to Wanyaotang, the largest pharmacy in Pingyang City, and bought a lot of medicinal materials needed. Even some drugs that are forbidden to be sold, she bought them at a high price.
The owner of the pharmacy was very polite to her, and gave her a wooden sign engraved with the words "Wanyaotang", saying that their pharmacy has branches all over the country, and if you show this wooden card, you can enjoy the most distinguished guest treatment.
She spent a full hundred taels of gold, and it was worth it to change this VIP brand.
Su Ruoxi put away the wooden sign and went shopping with a large bag of medicine.
By the time she had eaten and drunk enough and was ready to return to the palace, it was already sunset.
"It's so heavy, I knew I would have brought an entourage to carry things!"
Su Ruoxi was walking slowly down the street carrying a large bag of things, when suddenly there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves behind her, as well as the screams of some panicked people.
Su Ruoxi turned around and saw a horse-drawn carriage rampage on the street, injuring several passers-by.
And in the middle of the street, there was a frightened little girl standing there distracted, and the horse was about to hit her.
"Damn it!"
Su Ruoxi cursed in a low voice, and before she had time to think about it, she rushed up and hugged the little girl as quickly as possible, and the two of them threw themselves on the ground together.
But now the horses have raised their front hooves high, and the next moment they will step down, and they have no time to dodge.
At the moment of life and death, Su Ruoxi's eyes darkened, and she took off the hairpin in a hurry, and stabbed it at the horse's chest and abdomen.
The horse let out a heart-rending cry and paused in place while holding its hooves up.
Su Ruoxi retrieved the hairpin, hugged the little girl and turned over to escape from the horse's hooves, and the horse fell to the ground after a heavy breath at the moment when the hairpin was pulled away.
Her long hair was all scattered behind her, and her face was a little gray, and she looked a little wolf.
Su Ruoxi ignored her wolf bรจi at the moment, and returned the frightened little girl to the little girl's father and mother, and asked them to leave quickly.
Because she recognized at a glance that the carriage had come out of the palace, and that she had killed the horse, the people in the carriage would surely trouble her, and even the little girl's family.
After thanking the little girl's family, they left in a panic, Su Ruoxi walked to the carriage, and surrounded her with the two teams of guards accompanying the carriage.
"You are so bold that you dare to kill His Royal Highness the Prince's horse and take her down for me!"
One of the guards snorted coldly, and the other guards rushed up to capture Su Ruoxi.
Su Ruoxi was silent, and deftly dodged among the guards.
It seemed that she was just dodging, but every time she turned around and made a move, Su Ruoxi pointed towards the acupoints on the guard's body.
In less than a cup of tea, the dozen or so guards fell to the ground with cramps, all of them rolling on the ground and crying.
Seeing this, the leading guard was dumbfounded, but he didn't expect that the guards of the East Palace were actually rectified by a hairy girl.
"It turns out that the dog in the East Palace is nothing more than that!"
Su Ruoxi patted the ashes on her hands, tidied up her somewhat messy clothes, and looked up at the captain of the guard.
"You're so daring! See how I clean you up! โ
The captain of the guard was so angry by Su Ruoxi's words that his face turned pale, and he raised his horsewhip and waved it at Su Ruoxi.
Su Ruoxi dodged, and at the same time waved her right hand, several silver needles flew out from between her fingers and pinched directly on the guard's face.
The guard screamed 'Ah' and tumbled off his horse and slammed to the ground.
"Su Ruoxi, you madman! How dare you be rude to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince! Don't hurry up and kneel down for this palace! โ
At this time, a familiar voice came from the carriage, and Su Ruoxi looked up and saw that it was Su Ruotong sitting in the carriage.
Su Ruotong opened the curtain of the car and glared angrily, and there was a gorgeously dressed purple-clothed man beside her, presumably that was the current prince, Mu Ziran.
Scold! It's really a narrow road!
Seeing Su Ruotong, Su Ruoxi couldn't help but have a sneer on the corner of her mouth, she originally thought that only the prince was in the carriage, but she didn't expect Su Ruotong to be there.
"Yo! It turns out that my sister is also there, so I said how some mad dogs appeared on this street for no reason, and now I don't think it's strange to see my sister you. โ
Su Ruoxi let out a long sigh, thinking that after Su Ruotong married into the East Palace, her shelf and temper were really getting bigger and bigger, and she dared to scold her on the street for being a madman!
Want her to kneel? Let's see who's talking on their knees in that moment!
"You...... What do you mean? โ
Su Ruotong didn't react for a while, and she was a little speechless, but after thinking about it, she understood that Su Ruoxi was definitely hurting her.
"Su Ruoxi, why don't you stay in the palace, why are you crazy when you run out? You killed His Highness's horse, wounded His Highness's guards, and were rude to the palace. No matter which of these crimes, this palace can make your head fall to the ground! โ
Su Ruoxi snorted coldly unconcernedly, she finally saw today what it means that a dead duck has a hard mouth.
"Really? But so many onlookers saw with their own eyes that it was His Royal Highness the Prince's carriage that went on a rampage, hurting people, not to mention conniving at his subordinates to beat people. If this is reported to the emperor, I don't know if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can still sit firmly? โ
Today's saints are benevolent and believe that 'benevolence' is the foundation of government, so they pay great attention to the prince's conduct and virtue.
However, the obedience shown by the prince in front of the emperor is only an illusion under the cover of the queen and the ministers, and the prince's true nature is more amorous, violent and wanton, more like a spoiled evil boy.
So if today's events reach the ears of the emperor, presumably the image of the prince in the emperor's mind will have a great impact.
It was precisely because Su Ruoxi understood this that she dared to speak out.
"Good, good! The three princesses' sharp teeth, wit and decisiveness really opened the eyes of His Royal Highness. โ
Mu Ziran sent his palm and said three 'yes' in a row, and a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes when he looked at Su Ruoxi.
This third princess is different from what he imagined, no wonder......
With Su Ruotong in front of him, Su Ruoxi couldn't see Mu Ziran's true face clearly, and could only see him in a gorgeous purple and gold robe, as well as a smooth and slender chin.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has won the award, and the princess of this king is just a little more temperamental and a little willful."
At this time, Mu Zihan's voice suddenly came from not far away, and Su Ruoxi turned around to see that Mu Zihan had come to the middle of the street not far behind her.
Mu Zihan rode on a tall black horse, his face was calm, and he was domineering in a black robe.
