After being forced into a marriage with a wealthy family, the virtuous wife caused a huge uproar.
Chapter 204 I'm still alive
"But that's an Akhal-Teke horse. Who knows how long it will take for it to tire and stop running? The princess won't last that long." Rong Yingluo saw the princess being jostled and swaying precariously by the horse. If it weren't for her excellent horsemanship, she would have fallen off long ago.
At such a high speed, if you fall, you'll be severely injured, if not killed.
She's only fourteen, a flower-like age, and still a noble princess. If something really happens, all of them who came to play together today will have to take responsibility.
"I'll go," Li Xuanye said firmly, his eyes blazing.
How could you let a woman do something so dangerous?
After saying this, he took out a porcelain bottle from his pocket without hesitation, quickly poured out a pill and swallowed it.
"No." Rong Yingluo's eyes turned cold. But Li Xuanye acted too quickly; the medicine had already been swallowed before she finished speaking.
Princess Jinyang passed by them once again.
"Liuli, quickly think of a way to stop my horse!" Princess Jinyang shouted, then ran off again.
At this moment, the manager of the horse farm received the news and, along with several servants, each on a horse, prepared to surround Princess Jinyang's horse.
But the horse was too strong and always managed to squeeze through the gaps, which made the princess on its back bounce even more violently.
Princess Jinyang nearly fell off her horse several times, which terrified everyone watching.
At this moment, Li Xuanye felt his martial strength gradually recovering and shouted, "Disperse!"
Rong Yingluo knew he was about to take action.
The two men spurred their horses forward in unison, preparing for the rescue, and simultaneously pushed their horses to their maximum speed, maintaining a synchronized pace.
When Princess Jinyang passed by them again, Li Xuanye tossed the reins to Rong Yingluo, then stood on his horse, tiptoed, and leaped down, landing right behind Princess Jinyang. He hugged her tightly and grabbed the reins in her hand.
With a large man suddenly appearing on the horse's back, the added weight nearly caused the horse to stumble. Fortunately, Li Xuanye was a better horseman and pulled hard on the reins, preventing the horse from falling but instead propelling it even faster.
"Princess, don't worry, nothing will happen." Once on horseback, Li Xuanye realized that Princess Jinyang was already terrified and completely lost, relying solely on her willpower to stay upright.
The horse continued forward.
Rong Yingluo didn't dare let her horse and the horse she was leading stop, and continued to chase after the Akhal-Teke horse.
The Akhal-Teke horse circled twice and then caught up with Rong Yingluo from behind.
At that very moment, Li Xuanye, carrying the princess, leaped into the air and landed right on the horse that Rong Yingluo was leading.
Finally free from the mad horse, Princess Jinyang burst into tears.
Rong Yingluo slowly brought the two horses to a stop, and then Li Xuanye helped her down.
Rong Yingluo also jumped off her horse and caught the princess.
Princess Jinyang was terrified. She had been learning to ride a horse since she was ten years old and had never encountered such danger before.
She threw herself into Rong Yingluo's arms and cried bitterly.
"Ruri... I'm still alive."
"Princess, don't be afraid, you're alright. Nothing's wrong." Rong Yingluo gently patted her back.
Yu Qiannian and Fang Yuening also ran over and hugged Princess Jinyang. The four women hugged each other and comforted one another.
Actually, everyone was terrified.
The three comforted Princess Jinyang for a while before she stopped crying.
Li Xuanye stood helplessly to the side.
He didn't think much about it when he was trying to save people.
What should we do now?
He was a grown man, and he carried a princess in his arms. Even though he was saving her, once he carried her, he carried her.
The emperor will surely find out that the princess and he had been intimate.
What if he were to marry Princess Jinyang?
No, he can't marry her.
The princess could not possibly marry him.
"Young Madam Gu, before the two hours are up, I'm going to run on the martial arts horse track." He didn't know how to face Princess Jinyang, so he decided to leave.
This is a rare opportunity, and we cannot waste this precious time to restore our military strength.
Leaving these words behind, Li Xuanye mounted his horse and rode away.
Rong Yingluo glared fiercely at the person and the horse that had run away into the distance.
She clearly instructed that the medicine should not be taken again for at least a month, but only a little over ten days have passed and he has already taken it again.
She shouldn't have made that medicine for him.
Princess Jinyang also raised her head and looked at the departing figure.
"Liuli, isn't he a useless piece of trash who can't fight? How did he suddenly become capable of saving this princess?" Princess Jinyang blinked her tearful eyes.
"He took the medicine, but he has to bear the consequences himself." Rong Yingluo spoke the truth, also hoping that the princess would remember Li Xuanye's favor.
He sacrificed so much to save the princess; he can't let it go to waste.
Although the Emperor's attitude towards the Prince of Liao's residence was not what she had imagined, the Emperor's heart was unpredictable, and he doted on Princess Jinyang.
When the Emperor learns that Li Xuanye sacrificed his own body to save his daughter, he will likely be more lenient towards the Liao Prince's family.
"What will he do?" Princess Jinyang was taken aback.
"He won't be able to get out of bed for at least the next five days, and it will also have some impact on his subsequent detoxification," Rong Yingluo told her truthfully.
Princess Jinyang blushed slightly, realizing that he had made such a great sacrifice to save her.
The Akhal-Teke horse finally stopped after being chased and blocked by several servants at the horse farm.
Rong Yingluo and several girls walked over.
Even the BMW was exhausted and snorting.
Rong Yingluo saw that the horse's eyes were bloodshot, and it looked like it was in great pain and about to go berserk.
Two servants held it tightly to prevent it from breaking free.
Rong Yingluo circled the horse twice, feeling that something was wrong with it.
It couldn't have gone mad for no reason.
She pulled the dagger from her leg, made a small cut on the horse's weakest belly, dipped it in the blood, smelled it, and then licked a little off to taste it.
No, there's something wrong with the blood.
"Princess, this horse has been tampered with. Someone fed it 'mad grass.' From the time we left the capital until we arrived here, the toxins were digested by the horse and entered its bloodstream."
That's why she went crazy during our competition." Rong Yingluo's eyes flashed with a cold light.
"Who dares to harm me, Princess Jinyang?" Princess Jinyang gritted her teeth in hatred.
I'll have someone investigate when I get back.
"Is your horse kept in the separate courtyard that Prince Xuan gave you?" Rong Yingluo asked.
"That's right, I specially arranged for two people to take care of my horse." Princess Jinyang cherished this horse and had it well taken care of.
She only goes for a ride every few days.
"Have you ever experienced anything unusual when you went horseback riding outside the palace?" Rong Yingluo asked again.
"no."
Rong Yingluo's heart tightened. Could today's events be related to her?
She had arranged to ride horses with Princess Jinyang today, not on a whim, but as planned at the Zhao residence that day. It would be easy for others to find out about this.
If something happens to the princess today, she will inevitably be implicated.
Was this targeting her?
The only person who could be considered to have a grudge against her, and hate her to the bone, was Princess Xiangyi.
"Quickly, let's go back to the capital now." Rong Yingluo's heart skipped a beat.
If her guess is true, there might be more trouble waiting for her on her way back to Beijing.
Realizing this possibility, she could no longer stay. While Li Xuanye still had the strength to fight, she wanted to return to the capital as soon as possible.
We must not let the princess suffer an undeserved calamity because of her.
"What's wrong?" Princess Jinyang asked curiously, noticing Rong Yingluo's changing expression.
Rong Yingluo did not answer her, but instead rode her horse to call Li Xuanye.
