Qin Yuan awoke to her reborn life and discovered her legitimate younger sister (di mei) had also been reborn. Not only did her sister steal her husband from the previous life—the poor Juren (mean...
Hongye and Cuiming could tell that she was preoccupied, so they quietly stayed by her side.
Qin Yuan squinted and sat quietly in the car for a while before her mood improved.
She lifted the curtain and peered out. Just as she was about to say that she wanted to go to the West Market, the carriage suddenly shuddered violently. Then the horses in front let out a shrill neigh, and the whole carriage suddenly went out of control, swaying left and right as it galloped forward.
If it weren't for Hongye and Cuiming holding on desperately, she would have been thrown out of the car window.
If I really got thrown off, I'd be incredibly embarrassed.
Qin Yuan heard the coachman shouting "Whoa!" repeatedly, but the horses ignored him and continued to gallop wildly.
The teacups, snacks, and other items placed on the table inside the car had all rolled off the table, spilling tea everywhere, creating a mess.
But none of the three of them cared about that anymore.
They were tossed high into the air, then fell heavily to the ground. Before they could even settle down, they were flung to the left and then swayed back.
Cuiming's body was the weakest, and she was on the verge of collapse.
Hongye screamed and tightly protected Qin Yuan with both hands, showing no sign of backing down.
Qin Yuan sighed inwardly.
Even on the main road, a horse can be startled.
I just don't know how it will end.
She gripped the legs of the table fixed to the car tightly to prevent being thrown back and forth. Cuiming and Hongye held her tightly, the three of them entwined together, trying their best to minimize the possibility of injury.
Qin Yuan's head was spinning from the shaking, and it took her a while to finally reach a stop in the carriage. In her dazed state, she seemed to hear someone shouting in alarm, followed by the roaring and neighing of a frightened horse, before everything finally calmed down.
"Madam, Madam?"
The coachman called anxiously from outside, "Madam, are you alright?"
Qin Yuan was pinned down by Cui Ming, and her hands, which were gripping the legs of the table, were pulled painfully, as if they were about to dislocate.
Hongye first pulled her leg out from under her, took a breath, and weakly called out, "Miss, Miss, Cuiming, Cuiming."
Qin Yuan responded, "Mm."
Cui Ming remained completely still.
Hongye moved forward to help Qin Yuan extricate herself, while Cuiming softly pressed down on her, seemingly having already fainted.
It took Qin Yuan a lot of effort to get up. Her clothes were disheveled, and there were bloodstains on her arms and cheeks, but she didn't care. She quickly checked the three people's bodies and thankfully, they were all fine.
"Madam, Madam?" The coachman's voice trembled, choked with sobs.
"Madam has sustained minor injuries and needs to be taken to Renhetang for a checkup."
The red leaves make a sound.
“Good,” the coachman said with tears of joy, his voice choked with emotion, “The horse was startled. Fortunately, His Highness Prince Qi’s men stopped it. Now the horse is unusable. Why don’t you, Madam, ride in His Highness Prince Qi’s carriage instead?”
Is this convenient?
Qin Yuan asked hesitantly.
The coachman remained silent. After a while, a gentle and clear voice rang out, saying, "Madam, you may use my carriage. I will escort you on horseback from outside; it will not be inconvenient."
Qin Yuan paused for a moment, then she and Hongye helped the dazed Cuiming as she laboriously got off the carriage.
She saw the dignified Prince Qi standing beside the carriage, looking at her with gentle eyes, and said, "Madam, you have been frightened, but fortunately you are not seriously injured. Why don't you get in the carriage and go to the nearby clinic for treatment?"
The coachman limped over and said, "Madam, it was fortunate that His Highness Prince Qi helped us just now, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to make up for it even if I had ten lives."
Qin Yuan quickly bowed to the Prince of Qi and said softly, "Thank you for your help, Your Highness. It would be impolite of me to refuse."
"Madam Hou, there's no need for such formalities. Please get in the carriage."
Qin Yuan didn't have time to say much to the King of Qi, and quickly got into the carriage. This was a major road, and they had been stuck here for a long time.
At this moment, the small, tarpaulin-covered cart carrying the strong women and old women who had been following behind also arrived.
The strong women and old women quickly jumped off the carriage, came up to take Cuiming, and helped carry her into Prince Qi's carriage.
This carriage was much larger and more luxurious than the Marquis's carriage. The faint fragrance inside quickly calmed people down.
As soon as Hongye got into the car, she suddenly felt weak and powerless, losing all the strength she had just had.
Qin Yuan instructed through the curtain, "Check if anyone or any stalls have been affected. If anyone is injured, take them to Renhetang for treatment immediately. If anyone's property is damaged, compensate them accordingly."
"yes."
The old women and servants left behind went to check as instructed.
King Qi couldn't help but glance towards the carriage window.
To still remember these things at this moment can be considered as remaining calm in the face of danger.
Gu Jinghui is truly blessed.
When this woman bowed just now, her hair was disheveled, her clothes were torn, and there were bloodstains on her arms and cheeks. She looked extremely disheveled, and there was a kind of delicate fragility that made people want to protect her from being frightened and helpless.
King Qi reached out and gently touched his chin, thinking to himself, "Her voice is soft and charming, her figure is delicate and graceful, and even though she is injured, her face is still captivating."
She is indeed a stunning beauty.
No wonder Gu Jinghui cherishes it so much.
He boasted to others every day about how much his young wife adored him.
Compared to her, my younger sister Fuyun is not as good.
King Qi gracefully mounted his horse, the hem of his moon-white robe drawing an elegant arc. He stood upright, his chin slightly tucked in, his neck straight, silently accompanying him outside the carriage.
Anyone who sees him would have to praise him, saying, "What a handsome young man!"
Not long after Li Langzhong saw Qin Yuan off, he saw the Prince of Qi's carriage parked outside Renhe Hall.
"this……"
For some reason, Dr. Li felt a little flustered.
Renhetang's reputation was neither big nor small. Although he frequently visited the homes of officials, he never treated princes or nobles.
Why are these people coming here instead of calling the imperial physician?
Physician Li hurriedly came out to greet them, smiling and bowing, while secretly wondering who His Highness Prince Qi was escorting on horseback.
His Highness Prince Qi didn't even glance at him, but simply turned his head slightly and said to the carriage window, "Madam, we've arrived at Renhe Hall. Are you sure you want to see a doctor here?"
Qin Yuan's voice came out, "It's here. Thank you, Your Highness Prince Qi, for escorting us all the way."
Immediately afterwards, several maids jumped off the carriage and helped Qin Yuan and the other two out.
Seeing the disheveled state of Qin Yuan and the other two, Doctor Li's face turned pale, his pupils constricted, and he almost cried out.
King Qi then turned to look at him and said, "This is the wife of the Marquis of Dingbei. The carriage and horses were startled just now and she was slightly injured. We couldn't call the imperial physician in time. The wife said that she had been treated at Renhetang and that your family's ointment for bruises and sprains was extremely effective. You should take good care of her."
Doctor Li hurriedly replied, "Yes, yes, yes, this is all my duty."
King Qi then said, "Go."
The old women had already helped Qin Yuan and the others into Renhe Hall. Doctor Li followed behind them, full of doubts. Before entering, he glanced back and saw that Prince Qi was still riding his horse, sitting upright, showing no intention of leaving.
