In response to his threat, Su Wu just smiled contemptuously and said, "Let's go and take a look too."
She just didn't believe that Ruan Hezhu could escape from her pursuit even though she sprained her ankle.
She was going to kill the bitch Ruan Hezhu and Yu Sanniang in front of Jiang Weiyan.
As for Ruan Hezhu, she knew that Su Wu was determined to kill her, so she had to escape even though her ankle was in severe pain.
But with her own leg strength, even if she was not injured, she could not outrun those well-trained guards, let alone with an injured foot.
She had to find a way to escape.
Just then, she saw a carriage and without any hesitation, she jumped into it.
When she saw that there were only two weak women in the car, she took out a dagger and put it to the neck of the woman in brocade clothes.
"Don't move. Take me out of the city. Once we're outside, I'll let you go."
The woman's life was threatened, so she naturally agreed to everything and quickly ordered the driver to go out of the city.
The maidservant didn't dare to move, for fear that Ruan Hezhu would hurt her master.
The carriage was moving very fast. In half an hour, she arrived outside the city. Seeing that the guards did not catch up with her, she felt relieved.
She also kept her promise and released the young lady and her maid, but stole her carriage.
The young lady stood in this desolate wilderness, feeling somewhat helpless. She had always lived a life of luxury, and whenever she went out she either rode in a carriage or a sedan chair.
Walking was torture for her.
But there was no one around and there was no place to buy a carriage, so he could only walk towards the capital, hoping to come across a carriage or sedan chair.
She didn't know how long she had been walking, but she felt like her legs were not her own. Just when she was in despair, she finally heard the sound of horse hooves.
The young lady and her maid were overjoyed and ran over quickly to try to stop the fast horse.
When they got closer, they found that there was not just one horse, but a group of people. They were well-trained and rode very fast, and were about to pass by them.
Before I could think about it, the lady actually stood in front of the horse.
"ah…"
Only when she saw the horse was about to charge at her did she feel afraid.
Just when she thought she was going to die, the man on horseback pulled the reins hard, and with a burst of horse roars, the horse finally stopped.
"Miss, Miss, are you okay?"
The maid was so scared that she went forward and hugged her, constantly checking if she was injured anywhere.
The woman's face turned pale with fear. She just didn't want to walk anymore and didn't want to die. She hugged her maid. She felt extremely aggrieved and her tears couldn't stop falling. Just as she burst into tears,
A rough male voice shouted, "Are you trying to save your lives? How dare you stop the horse?"
"I…"
The woman looked up, wanting to tell her about her grievances and buy another horse, but when she saw the handsome man sitting on the warhorse, dressed in moon-white brocade clothes, wearing a jade crown on his head, she was stunned for a moment.
Seeing her desperately trying to stop the carriage, crying loudly, and then staring at him like a fangirl, the man frowned slightly, thinking that she was a mentally ill woman, and then shouted coldly, "Get out of the way."
The woman shuddered and quickly knelt on the ground. "Your Highness, please forgive me. I am the daughter of a county lieutenant in Kyoto. I encountered a villain on the road and he stole my carriage. I happened to meet you and wanted to buy a horse to return to the capital. I am sorry for my rudeness. I hope Your Highness will forgive me."
That’s right, this person was Song Yu. After he knew that Ruan Hezhu had escaped, he was afraid that she would ruin the plan of Prince Chen’s Mansion, so he hurriedly chased after her with his guards.
But after coming out of the inn, she suddenly disappeared and her whereabouts were unknown. He guessed that she didn't dare to stay in the capital anymore and must be running out of the city, so he chased her out.
I didn't expect to meet this crazy woman. Since this person recognized her, it would be unreasonable not to give him a horse.
He said to the guards behind him, "Leave a horse for them."
"Thank you, Prince."
The woman looked at Prince Chen with joy and a little shyness. She had once seen Prince Chen from afar at a banquet, and that glance was unforgettable for her.
When she woke up in the middle of the night, all she could see was the prince's handsome face. Now that she had the chance to see him again, she was reluctant to leave.
At this moment, she actually thanked the woman who held her hostage from the bottom of her heart for giving her the opportunity to talk to the prince.
Seeing her staring at him with a crazy expression again, Song Yu frowned even deeper and ordered in a cold voice, "Let's go."
"Your Majesty, wait a moment."
Seeing that Song Yu was about to leave, she quickly reached out to stop him. Seeing the anger on Song Yu's face, she asked hurriedly.
"Is the prince looking for Miss Ruan?"
"Have you seen her?" Song Yu was stunned. He didn't expect that she actually knew where Ruan Hezhu had gone. His expression immediately softened a little.
The woman nodded and told Song Yu everything about Ruan Hezhu holding her hostage and stealing her carriage.
Lord Ruan used to be the prefect, and was the immediate superior of this girl's father, so she had met Ruan Hezhu several times. At that time, she only envied Ruan Hezhu.
Not only does she have an outstanding appearance, she is also favored by the prince. She once secretly imitated Ruan Hezhu's dressing style, hoping that one day she could also catch the prince's eye.
So, the moment Ruan Hezhu jumped onto the carriage, she recognized her, but before she could open her mouth, Ruan Hezhu pointed a dagger at her.
Ruan Hezhu seemed to have no impression of her at all.
She knew that Ruan Hezhu was in an awkward situation in the capital, so she also knew that she had encountered difficulties. In addition, her life was in someone's hands, and she was afraid that if Ruan Hezhu knew that she knew her, she would be killed to silence her.
Therefore, she did not mention that she knew Ruan Hezhu along the way.
But now that she saw Song Yu also coming out of the city, she guessed that Song Yu must have come to pursue Ruan Hezhu.
After asking, she found out that it was true. She felt happy again, thinking that she had helped the prince a lot, and he would definitely remember her this time.
The woman pointed in a direction and said that Ruan Hezhu was heading that way.
Song Yu took a look and then said to the woman, "Thank you. Please keep today's events a secret and don't tell anyone."
"Don't worry, my lord. I will never tell anyone, including father."
The woman's assurance made Song Yu nod in satisfaction, and then he left a guard behind to escort the master and servant back to the capital safely.
The woman, filled with joy and immersed in the thought of her interaction with the prince, sat on horseback and headed towards the capital.
Not far away, she saw another group of people. She also knew the people there. They were Jiang Weiyan and a woman with her face covered.
Without giving it much thought, she naturally assumed that the woman was Mrs. Jiang San.
After all, the love between Lord Jiang and his wife is well-known in the capital.
So, when she saw Su Wu again from behind, her jaw dropped and she couldn't understand what was going on.
