Chapter 122: Xia Nanjing is injured
Everyone also saw that as soon as Sister Lan'er's words fell, Xia Nanjing just surpassed the five princes. There were a few girls in the audience who bought King Yong, and there were some sighs in all directions.
"It seems that this champion is either Yin Yan or the young master of the Fu family." The eldest princess looked at the audience and said with a smile.
At this time, there was only a few hundred meters or so from the finish line, and the two were neck and neck, and it was difficult to distinguish the winner.
"Huh-" There was a roar of horses, and the girls present no longer cared about their bodies and stretched their necks, and those who were as bold as the Seventh Princess stood up directly and shouted: "Yin Yan! ”
Sister Hui was sitting in the back and was just blocked from view, and she couldn't see what was going on in front of her, and her hand that had been holding the teacup couldn't help but tremble, and the tea was sprinkled all over her bright red riding outfit, dotted with stars.
"Quick, call the Imperial Doctor." The three princes shouted from the audience.
All the teenagers dismounted and ran in front of Xia Nanjing, and Sister Hui didn't care about the others, and chased the seventh princess to the front fence to look down, which was a long sigh of relief.
It turned out that just when Fang was about to finish the line, Xia Nanjing's horse suddenly went crazy and roared on his back, the horse's hooves kicked wildly, Sister Hui sat at the end because of her identity, first heard the shouts of the seventh princess, and then heard the third prince call the imperial doctor in a panic, and thought that Xia Nanjing was thrown off the horse. Fortunately, when the horse went crazy, he kicked the eunuch standing in the outfield.
"Check it out to this palace, if it weren't for him, today Yin Yan would have been fallen, so I would have interrogated the slave who served the horse!" The third prince was furious, and pointed to the steward eunuch who rushed to his side.
"Ah, Xia Sanshao's arm is bleeding, and the imperial doctor will come in a while, so I have to take a look." Suddenly there was a man in the crowd.
Sister Hui also followed the man's hope, and in the crowd, she did see a small stream of blood flowing from Xia Nanjing's right arm from the sleeve of her clothes along the back of her hand and dripping on the ground through her fingers.
"Today's matter, the palace will return to the emperor, and this horse that does not recognize the master will be killed." Although the eldest princess looked like a kind person, the eyes of the eunuch in charge who was standing next to the third prince with a sweaty head were cold, and the eunuch was paralyzed to the ground in fright.
After a while, someone came to pull the horse, and I didn't want the horse to be a fierce man, and he was generally going to go wild when he was crazy, and after a few fights, he was going to kill him directly, but before the guards could do anything, the horse suddenly fell to the ground.
For a moment, everyone was first startled, and then their faces were different.
The faces of the three princes are the most ugly, if this horse is picked for himself, I am afraid that his life will be lost!
There was a chaos in the morning, and the five princes suggested finding Dali Temple to investigate the matter thoroughly, but Dali Temple Qing had not yet been found, and Huang Gonggong, who was next to the emperor, came down, and killed the two eunuchs in charge of the affairs with a few verbal instructions, and the matter was over.
"Miss, the slave maid went to check on the dead horse, and it was indeed drugged." At noon, taking advantage of the time when the seventh princess was resting, Sister Hui asked Qiu Ju to ask, and this was the answer given by Qiu Ju.
"What medicine?" Sister Hui immediately asked
"I don't know, but the slave also took the suit you changed into this morning, and as soon as you soaked it in the water, the water turned a faint red." Qiu Ju said again.
This is what Xiao Li revealed to Sister Hui before, the medicine is a white powder, it smells a little sweet, and it will appear a faint red when it encounters water.
Since the old lady had gone to such great lengths to put her to death, she would definitely not have only one hand, and let the laundry room take the opportunity to get her riding outfit, and besides that, she always felt that there was another way.
I thought that the old lady suddenly summoned her to see what was mysterious in the house, but when she got into the carriage, she realized that the incense on the carriage that had been prepared for her had been mixed with this thing.
After Sister Hui told Qiu Ju everything that Xiao Li said to her, she said: "I'm always not at ease, so when I entered the palace, I took the opportunity of not wearing a riding costume to find the seventh princess to borrow a riding costume to wear, no matter how long the old lady's hand is, she can't reach into the seventh princess's Huamu Pavilion." ”
"That young lady asked the slave maid to check on the horse that fell off the third young master Xia because she was suspicious," Qiu Ju continued with a frown
"Well, I saw the horse, it was the horse that the Seventh Princess chose for me before, and the Seventh Princess has always liked to have a stronger temperament, so the one I picked for me was also according to her preference."
"But, miss, the slave maid tried to wash the horse with water as you did, but the water did not turn red. I'm afraid that the medicine is fed inside. Moreover, why didn't Miss get dropped? Qiu Ju shook her head with a solemn face
"That's about it." Sister Hui pulled out a plum-shaped silver hairpin at the end of her hair, which was the one that was despised by ink paintings before.
"What's the mystery of this hairpin?" Qiu Ju took it and looked at it carefully, then handed it back to Sister Hui'er, and asked puzzled
"Although this hairpin is made of silver, there is a strange medicine mixed inside, and this yellow plum blossom stamen is also a kind of deep-sea mud firing, which has an anti-poison effect. No matter who poisoned the horse, I took this on the horse because it could resist the poison, so the poison would not work, and Xia Sanshao didn't, so naturally the horse would go crazy. ”
"Could the horse be poisoned by the old lady?" Qiu Ju hesitated on her face, this would be the old lady's doing, the old lady has a grandmother Liu in the palace, and it is not completely impossible to poison the horse.
"Since you said that the horse could not wash the red water, it must not have been the old lady's. First, it's not the kind of poison that the old lady asked for from Xiao Li, and second, even if she wants to get off, she must pick a docile horse. No one else knows, but the old lady knows, my riding skills are not good, and I dare not ride a fierce horse. "Moreover, Sister Hui saw what happened today, and everyone present had different faces, and the faces of the third prince and the fifth prince were particularly ugly, although I don't know why, it is not difficult to guess that it has something to do with this seizure of the throne.
"Okay, let's not guess, it's much more difficult for the old lady to do things in the palace, although this palace is full of dangers, but for me it is much safer than in the Anning Waiting House. I'll go take a nap too, and when the hour comes, you'll call me again." Sister Hui was worried for a long time, and after thinking for a long time, drowsiness hit her head at this time, and she yawned and said to Qiu Ju.
Qiu Ju smiled and responded: "Okay, miss, you sleep, the slave is guarding." ”
"It's hard work, you don't have to follow me to the study when I get up in a while, you can sleep all afternoon." Sister Hui nodded, closed her eyes, and said slowly.
Qiu Ju laughed, first tucked the quilt corner for her, and saw that her breathing was gradually even, so she walked out of the door and went outside to guard.
In the other corner of the palace, in a slightly secluded corner, although the palace is magnificently repaired, it is actually deserted and rarely popular.
"You will rest in this Zhongling Palace for half a day, and let's go to see my father in the evening." The speaker was the third prince, King Jing, and the person who listened was Xia Nanjing, who had just been injured in the morning.
"After the adults established the mansion, this Zhongling Palace will come less. It's still the same as it was a few years ago, just as deserted. The third prince glanced at the messy fallen leaves in the courtyard outside the window, and then at the empty palace, and sighed a little
"The racecourse is lively today, do you like it?" Xia Nanjing lay on the wooden collapse on the side and asked coldly
"I want to thank you, if you hadn't asked me for that horse, maybe I would have been the one who was injured, well, no, I should say that I was the one who was disabled, I didn't have such good martial arts." The third prince lifted the corner of his robe, sat down next to Xia Nanjing and said with a smile.
"Hey, why do you want that horse? Isn't it because my cousin has ridden it? Huh~ Your fetish is not good," the third prince shook his head and quipped.
Xia Nanjing turned his head slowly, his eyes drooped and said lightly: "As soon as you choose that horse, I will see that something is wrong with the eunuch's face." At that time, he felt that the eunuch's eyes were not in awe of the high-ranking person, but a kind of evasion of the weak heart.
