The howling sounds continued to be heard in the market place, and the common people all avoided the frightened horses.
Her hair was disheveled, the carriage curtains rustled in the wind, and the horse had lost its direction, the piercing pain making it lose its mind. And right in front of it was the Jin-Chu city wall!
If we just let it rush forward and crash into the city wall, the carriage will be destroyed and everyone on board will die!
Gu Qingsheng made up his mind, held on to the carriage with one hand and slowly stood up. There were bloodshot eyes and his teeth were chattering in the cold wind.
This incident happened too suddenly, and no one had time to react. Although there were soldiers chasing from behind, in terms of speed, Gu Qingsheng must have hit the city wall first!
To jump? Or not to jump?
The closer she got to the city wall, the faster her heart beat.
I can’t… I can’t just die like this!
Jumping out of the car will only cost you half your life, you can always try again!
After making up her mind, Gu Qingsheng looked at the speeding ground and let go. But before she could take a step, a stone flew down from the air with great force and flew towards her!
A severe pain came from his leg, and Gu Qingsheng screamed and fell onto the carriage!
Blood started flowing from the calf!
Is this someone who wants to harm me on purpose?
Who is it!
She hugged her legs tightly to stop the bleeding. Seeing the green wall approaching, she knew it was too late. She closed her eyes and uttered a hoarse cry.
“No! Help…”
"Bang--"
"Princess!!"
Bai Lu's heart-wrenching voice came from behind!
The carriage crashed into the wall with a loud bang, sending up a puff of smoke! The wooden planks broke and flew off the wall!
The people hid far away because they were afraid of being implicated, and they all looked at the pile of broken ruins nervously.
The horse's body swayed and finally fell, smashing the wreckage of the carriage on the ground.
The expected pain did not come, and it seemed as if someone was holding me tightly, and the clear fragrance continued to surround me.
Her cheek pressed against the slightly cool fabric, she curled up in the man's arms and shivered continuously. She slowly opened her eyes, and the wind suddenly blew, ruffling Gu Qingsheng's already messy hair.
In this gust of wind, she saw the brightest and most beautiful eyes like the water in the sky.
Cold, gentle, like a sapphire inlaid in the night, and somewhat familiar.
familiar?
Gu Qingsheng suddenly opened his eyes and grabbed the collar of the man in front of him. He gasped for breath because of fear, and his eyes suddenly filled with tears. He suddenly buried his head in the man's arms and trembled.
"Thank you... Imperial Master for saving me again..."
Xu Qingyi hugged Gu Qingsheng tightly, feeling the frail figure and helpless fear of the woman in his arms, and sighed softly.
"I'm late, Princess. You are very brave."
Bai Lu, who arrived shortly after, was so frightened that her heart almost stopped. She thanked Xu Qingyi repeatedly and took Gu Qingsheng from her. When she saw Gu Qingsheng's pupils that were still a little stagnant, tears suddenly flowed down her face.
"That's great, Princess! That's great, Princess, you're okay!"
His thoughts gradually became clear. Gu Qingsheng raised his eyes and moved them slightly, calming himself down. The wound on his leg was still hurting.
Fortunately, I am still alive.
She hugged Bai Lu tightly, and the feeling of surviving a disaster made her feel a chill on her back.
"It's okay, it's okay..."
"First, settle the princess down, then call the imperial physician over, leave some people to clean up the scene, and detain the horse and the groom that went crazy just now."
Xu Qingyi gave instructions for everything in a cold voice, which made Gu Qingsheng a little stunned. She raised her eyes and glanced secretly in Xu Qingyi's direction, but her eyes happened to fall into his deep eyes.
When the two sides' eyes met, their hearts were slightly disturbed!
Gu Qingsheng quickly turned his eyes away, not understanding the reason for the inexplicable panic that came from his heart.
He was holy and noble, and was known as the son of destiny of Jin and Chu. He was also the first nobleman in the three dynasties to be exempted from the requirement of bowing to the emperor and the title of monarch and subject.
This is the person, why do I feel so familiar with him for no apparent reason?
After Gu Qingsheng was taken away by the palace servants, only a few servants were left at the scene to clean up the mess.
The driver of the frightened horse kept kowtowing at the city gate. The horse was tied to the side, hunching its body and looking listless.
When Xu Qingyi walked to the palace gate, what he saw was the scene of the gatekeepers beating and scolding the coachman who was kowtowing.
"Just wait for your head to be chopped off! Do you know what disaster you've caused today? That's the princess! The Princess Changle of Jinchu!"
After the soldier finished speaking, he kicked the driver viciously.
"It's all your fault! It's all your fault! You got into trouble this time, and we have to suffer as well!"
"Your horse is really out of control! Kill it and make it into a snack for us!"
The driver was kicked to the ground, his face pale. He kept mumbling apologies, not knowing that this would only make the two officers more excited.
Xu Qingyi walked over calmly, with very light steps.
"As a soldier, what crime is it to oppress the people?"
He leaned over and helped the driver up while the two men stared at him in shock.
The two officers and soldiers turned pale and knelt down with a thud.
"Master Imperial Master! It's... it's because this man caused the princess to be injured! That's why we wanted to punish him on behalf of the princess..."
"Do you need to punish me?"
Turning around, his eyes were cold, and he stared at the backs of the two men, causing them to break out in sweat.
"The Emperor and Empress haven't spoken yet, and you've made the decision first. Do you really take His Majesty seriously?"
Although the tone was light and indifferent, it still made the officers and soldiers' calves tremble.
Anything, once it reaches the level of His Majesty, is more than what it seems on the surface.
"Master, please forgive me! Master, please forgive me! We will go to the Imperial Guards to receive our punishment! We will go to receive our punishment now!"
They fled in panic, looking like they wanted to cry but had no tears.
I didn't expect to cause trouble with this imperial master. I hope I won't be targeted by that female devil...
"Are you okay, uncle?"
After helping the driver up, Xu Qingyi noticed that his hair and beard were all white, and he looked to be over sixty years old.
Countless vegetable leaves were still hanging on the back of the carriage, some of which were new leaves, stuck between the wooden boards, as if they had experienced quite a commotion.
Xu Qingyi was silent for a while, looking at the driver's frightened face, and comforted him.
"It's okay, uncle. Tell me what happened first. You didn't mean to do it, and it's not your fault, but I need to understand the whole story."
His words seemed to have a kind of magic power, which made the driver's demeanor relax a little. He exhaled and spoke tremblingly.
"I don't know why, but this morning when I came back from the morning market, I walked near here, and the horse suddenly went crazy and ran towards me recklessly."
"I can't control it either. This is... This is..."
