After being forced into a marriage with a wealthy family, the virtuous wife caused a huge uproar.

Rong Yingluo stopped her horse and looked around. She saw several large pieces of cloth draped over the fence next to her.

She dismounted, picked up a few pieces of cloth, swished them in the water to wet them, and then covered the horse with the cloth.

They tore off another piece of cloth and covered the horse's eyes.

We got back on the horse.

To get the horse across quickly, she had to be ruthless and whip it hard.

Gu Ce secretly admired Rong Yingluo's actions, thinking, "What a clever girl."

Just as Gu Ce was admiring her, Rong Yingluo had already successfully run across the pontoon bridge.

Rong Yingluo dismounted and tore off the cloth and strips of cloth.

It's been so long, and she still hasn't seen Chen Ying, who was supposed to compete with her.

I don't know where she ran off to.

Just as she was about to mount her horse, she heard the sound of hooves.

Looking back, it was Chen Ying who had arrived late.

One is on this side of the pond, and the other is on the other side.

Their eyes met for a moment.

Rong Yingluo noticed that she had changed to a different horse.

She was furious. The horse she had tampered with had been switched, and now the two of them were here at the same time.

That means I might not be able to win.

But why did the fire on the pontoon bridge go out?

Rong Yingluo was jolted awake and dared not waste any more time. She immediately mounted her horse and galloped away.

But her horse was exhausted after overcoming so many obstacles, and its speed was much slower than before.

But in order to embarrass the Crown Prince, she had already made it through ninety-nine miles, and she was determined to make it through the last mile no matter what.

"The final hurdle, the suspension bridge," Gu Ce's voice came again.

suspension bridge?

"Great!" Rong Yingluo thought with delight.

Now that she has a slight lead, she shouldn't be rude.

Keep going.

In the distance, you can see a small hill.

With a crack of the whip, the horse accelerated again and charged up the slope. Sure enough, there was a suspension bridge about ten feet long, built with thick ropes and planks, which looked very sturdy.

Rong Yingluo knew that Chen Ying was about to catch up. She didn't know how much further they had to go, but victory or defeat depended on this final hurdle.

Without stopping, she rushed onto the suspension bridge, but the swaying of the bridge made it very difficult for the horse to run.

There are no guardrails on either side, and you could easily fall off if you're not careful.

Although there were no bamboo splinters under the bridge, it was covered with sharp stones.

Rong Yingluo knew that crossing this bridge was the fastest way to avoid breaking it.

The best course of action is to rush over quickly.

This is not the time to feel sorry for the horse. If you whip it again, the horse will have no way to retreat and will have to charge forward.

Before she could cross the suspension bridge, the bridge suddenly began to sway more violently. Looking back, she saw that Chen Ying had also crossed the suspension bridge.

Rong Yingluo acted decisively, drawing the long sword that had been hanging on her horse. As soon as the horse's front hooves touched the bridgehead, she dismounted and then used all her strength to slash at the suspension bridge ropes.

"No!" Chen Ying cried out in alarm.

But Rong Yingluo had already struck with her second sword.

The two most important ropes holding the bridge snapped instantly. Chen Ying ran right to the middle of the bridge, and under the weight of the horse and the man, the bridge slid towards the bottom.

Rong Yingluo listened to her scream and revealed a strange smile.

Remounting again, we continued forward.

Gu Ce also smiled.

Decisive and ruthless!

"That's fantastic!" Princess Jinyang couldn't help but exclaim.

"Mrs. Gu is the woman I admire most," Yu Qiannian shouted.

"I want to marry her," Fang Yuening boldly declared.

These words made Gu Ce's face instantly darken.

The four continued to follow Rong Yingluo's figure in the inner circle.

Until the finish line, there are no more obstacles.

When Yuwen Tai saw that the first person to appear was Rong Yingluo, he was so shocked that he froze, his astonished expression remaining unchanged for a long time: "How is this possible?"

Yuwen Yi watched as Rong Yingluo crossed the finish line as if he had seen a ghost.

That's right, in the end, the horse practically walked over.

By the time Rong Yingluo arrived here, she was already at her last gasp.

Once she relaxed, she collapsed like a broken table.

Seeing her swaying body, Gu Ce knew that she was exhausted both mentally and physically.

As soon as her horse crossed the finish line, Gu Ce leaped forward and landed beside her.

"Madam." He felt extremely distressed.

"Husband." Rong Yingluo closed her eyes and fell off her horse, but Gu Ce caught her.

My hands felt sticky.

is blood!

"Quickly, summon a doctor!" Gu Ce shouted.

Zhong Sheng had already received orders from his master to wait at the finish line, and upon hearing the instructions, he immediately left.

"An Yi, leave the Crown Prince and Prince Xuan's heir to fulfill their bet." With these words, Gu Ce, carrying Rong Yingluo, followed Zhong Sheng toward the horse farm rest area.

"Are you alright?" Gu Ce asked with concern, his steps never faltering.

"I won't die, but my legs and hands are all weak." Rong Yingluo's whole body was so weak that she couldn't muster any strength, and only her eyes could still be opened.

This is a reaction to high stress and fatigue.

"Close your eyes, get some rest, and leave the rest to me."

"Okay." Rong Yingluo indeed closed her eyes.

Upon arriving at the rest area, Zhong Sheng happened to bring the veterinarian from the horse farm.

Gu Ce gently placed the person on the soft couch.

"It hurts," Rong Yingluo whispered, but she didn't open her eyes.

Gu Ce immediately picked him up: "Does your lower back hurt?"

"Back".

Gu Ce carefully laid the person down face down.

Only then could one see her back clearly; a large section of her clothing was torn, and blood had long since soaked through it.

She was wearing a black and red riding outfit today, but he was too far away to see her clearly when they were going through the checkpoints earlier.

Only now did I realize how badly she was injured.

Gu Ce looked at the other places and saw that there were several scrapes on his legs.

"Young Master Gu, you should treat the young mistress's injuries yourself." The doctor had already examined the wounds.

To apply medicine to Rong Yingluo, her clothes had to be removed. Since the doctor was a man, it would be most appropriate for her husband to apply the medicine in this situation.

"Give me the medicine for my injuries." Gu Ce's face was ashen.

"No, let Yinghong go to the carriage to get the medicine. I don't want to have a scar," Rong Yingluo protested.

The medicine the doctor has is definitely not as good as hers.

"Miss, I've brought the medicine." Just then, Yinghong appeared at the door, carrying a medicine box.

She also kept a close eye on her young mistress. Whenever the young master called for a doctor, she would dash off to the carriage to get the medicine.

"Yinghong, apply the medicine for me," Rong Yingluo ordered weakly.

But before Yinghong could answer, Gu Ce snatched the medicine box from her hands.

"You all get out." Gu Ce gave Ying Hong a cold look.

Yinghong shuddered in fright: "Miss, I'll go get you some clean clothes." With that, she turned and ran away nimbly.

She had never seen the prince so frightening.

After Zhong Sheng and the doctor left, Gu Ce sat on the couch and opened the medicine box.

The room was filled with a dazzling array of items, containing more than a dozen medicine bottles. Each bottle was a different color.

However, there were no markings on the bottle.

"Madam, which one should we use?" Gu Ce asked.

Rong Yingluo listlessly opened her eyes halfway: "The light pink bottle is wound medicine, and the black bottle is hemostatic medicine."

Gu Ce took out two bottles, and then gently tore open the back of her clothes until even her undergarments were torn open.

What should have been a snow-white back was now a bloody mess.

Neither of them had any other romantic thoughts at that moment.

Rong Yingluo was too tired to speak and just wanted to get a good night's sleep to recover.

Gu Ce felt sorry for her suffering so much. The Crown Prince bullying his wife today was an insult to him.

His wife suffered an undeserved misfortune on his behalf.

Gu Ce first wiped away the bloodstains with a cotton towel before he could see her injury clearly.

The wound wasn't deep, but because it wasn't treated in time and I was exercising, the blood flow was fast, which caused so much bleeding.

First, apply the hemostatic powder.

The wound was aggravated, and Rong Yingluo cried out softly in pain, "Ouch, it hurts so much!"

"I'm sorry, I've dragged you into this." Gu Ce felt very guilty.

"That's right, you're the one who dragged me down with you." Rong Yingluo directly convicted Gu Ce.
