Chapter 9
"It's okay..." Lin Zhiyi pulled the corners of her mouth with lingering fear, revealing a little smile, so that Gu Tingxuan would not worry. She was even worried about Gu Tingxuan instead, "Master, your arm is bleeding!"
Gu Tingxuan had fought on the battlefield and even personally killed her enemies, so this minor injury was nothing to her. She nervously checked the back of Lin Zhiyi's head, fearing that the previous injury had recurred.
Fortunately, Lin Zhiyi must have subconsciously protected his head and did not suffer further injuries.
The collision with the carriage bruised my arms, legs, and back...
"Are you dizzy? Do you have a headache?" Gu Tingxuan asked again.
Lin Zhiyi leaned in her arms and said honestly, "A little bit..."
Gu Tingxuan was not in a hurry to get up, so she let her lean back for a while: "Then take your time, is there anything else that is uncomfortable?"
Lin Zhiyi: "No more. Don't worry, Master."
Zhou Mingyan and Lin Shuo, who were standing nearby, dismounted after taming the frightened horses and ran over to inquire about Lin Zhiyi's condition.
Seeing so many people had gone over, Ye Changning did not go over, but walked towards the horse that had fallen first.
The horse was twitching, foaming at the mouth, and almost dying.
This is a sign of poisoning.
Ye Changning walked around the horse with a serious expression and examined it carefully. Finally, he saw a wound on the horse's leg, which looked like it was bitten by a poisonous snake.
Was it really an accident caused by a venomous snake, or was it done intentionally?
Princess Liyang's husband had such accidents one after another, it is really hard to believe that this was just an accident.
Ye Changning took the evidence and kept it, then said to the guards and servants of the Marquis' Mansion who had come up behind him, "Keep an eye on this horse. I'll have someone come take it away later."
"Yes, sir!"
Ye Changning turned around and saw Lin Shuo had already followed him. His handsome face was full of worry. He looked at Ye Changning and said with a wry smile, "Ye Shaoqing, what did you find?"
Ye Changning hesitated for a moment, then told Marquis Ding'an what he had discovered: "My Lord, I found a wound on the horse's leg. It looks like it was bitten by a poisonous snake. The toxin wouldn't have been immediately fatal, but the horse's running accelerated its blood circulation, which also accelerated the spread of the toxin. That's why it fell halfway through the race, pulling the carriage over with it."
Lin Shuo was silent for a moment, then said, "You mean...an accident?"
Ye Changning: "At the moment, it seems so. If the Marquis has any questions, I will investigate further."
Lin Shuo looked back worriedly at Lin Zhiyi, who was still slumped on the ground leaning on Gu Tingxuan to relieve his dizziness, and asked, "What is the probability that this was a pure accident?"
Ye Changning carefully considered and said, "Eighty percent."
Lin Shuo: "That was an accident. My son is unlucky. After returning to Beijing, I will take him to Tianlong Temple to burn incense and exorcise the evil spirits. Thank you, Ye Shaoqing."
"Your Excellency is too polite." Ye Changning began to deal with the aftermath. On the one hand, he ordered people to report to His Majesty and the princess, and on the other hand, he collected and preserved all the evidence.
As for the final conclusion of whether it is the poison of a venomous snake, the imperial physician must be consulted for judgment.
Soon, the imperial physician was also sent over, and of course he first checked the injuries of the prince consort.
Gu Tingxuan said, "The Prince Consort is fine. I'm sorry to trouble Doctor Jiang to come over."
Lin Zhiyi also smiled and said, "Yes, Doctor Jiang, my master protected me very well and I wasn't touched at all. Go to Ye Shaoqing and see if he can help you."
Lin Shuo directly gave the imperial physician a consultation fee and then guided him to Ye Changning.
Zhou Mingyan kept circling around Lin Zhiyi like a silly dog. He couldn't help but nag at Lin Zhiyi: "Lin Xiuyuan, what's wrong with you? Why are you always so unlucky? Do you need to go burn incense and pray to Buddha to get rid of the bad luck?"
Lin Zhiyi glared at him: "I'm obviously lucky, okay? I escaped both accidents without any harm. It's obvious that God has mercy on me. I have a lucky star protecting me."
The jade pendant on her neck also slipped out from her collar and was now outside her clothes, very conspicuous. It sparkled even more under the sunlight, as if it was divine.
She touched the jade pendant and said, "And I don't need to burn incense. Look, I've been wearing it for a long time. Maybe it's because of it that I was able to escape danger just now. Of course, Master, you, my father, and Ye Shaoqing all protected me. Thank you!"
Zhou Mingyan was dazzled by his smile. He was a little surprised and scratched his head a little embarrassedly. "No, it's my duty." He quickly returned to his previous expression of disappointment. "Haven't you always been a good rider? Why didn't you try to control the frightened horse?" After saying this, he realized that Lin Zhiyi was talking to him at that time. He was stunned and began to feel guilty. "Ah! It's all my fault! I asked you for gold ingots just now, and I distracted you. Oh! Gold ingots! Where are the gold ingots?"
"Here it is." Lin Zhiyi picked up a fluffy snowball from his feet and handed it to him. "You were carrying it when you rode after me. Later, I saw it jump off your shoulder."
Zhou Mingyan took Yuanbao and stroked his fur lovingly: "Ah! Yuanbao! You are so smart!"
…
After Jing Yue received the news sent back by Ye Changning, she lowered her eyes and thought for a moment. Then Princess Liyang's cold voice came from the carriage: "I understand."
She spoke directly and ordered, "When the prince consort has rested, please ask him to move and come to my carriage. No matter what evil spirit or accident it is, I will face it with the prince consort."
If it really was Cheng Lunian this time... no matter how brave he was, he would not dare to tamper with the princess's carriage.
