The eunuch said with a bitter face: "I don't know either. The imperial doctors are rushing to the horse farm right now. Princess Jingning sent someone over to ask if Doctor Su is still here. If he is, please go and check on Princess Hui'an!"
After Su Xiaoxiao got married, everyone changed the way they addressed her, but when they were in a hurry, they would still call her Doctor Su.
"Queen, I'll go over and take a look."
"I will lead the way for you."
"No need, go ahead and do your work."
She was a student at the Imperial Academy and knew where the pasture was for the riding lessons.
Su Xiaoxiao arrived faster than the imperial physician.
When the daughters of Gongxue saw her coming, everyone showed surprise on their faces...except Guo Lingxi.
Guo Lingxi had been preparing for her marriage at the mansion during this period until envoys from two countries came to visit. She was then taken to the palace, given a bedroom, and treated like a princess.
Naturally, she also regained the right to go to school with the two princesses.
The daughters of wealthy families swarmed up.
Su Xiaoxiao glanced at Guo Lingxi.
Guo Lingxi handed the reins of the horse to the young eunuch behind him and said indifferently: "Why are you looking at me? This time it's not me!"
Lu Ying whispered, "It's definitely not Princess Lingxi...Princess Lingxi."
In fact, Guo Lingxi was late, and when she arrived, Princess Hui'an had fallen off her horse.
Everyone seemed to want to say something, but hesitated.
Su Xiaoxiao glanced at Zhao Kangning who was not far away. Zhao Kangning seemed not to care about the female doctor who was called by the imperial physician. Even though this female doctor was dressed in extraordinary clothes, Zhao Kangning had already arrogantly turned his eyes away the moment Su Xiaoxiao squatted down to check Princess Hui'an's leg injury.
The palace maids drew the veil around Princess Hui'an, leaving only her, Princess Jingning and Su Xiaoxiao inside.
Su Xiaoxiao needed to first confirm whether Princess Hui'an had any fractures. She pressed on her right foot, and Princess Hui'an screamed in pain: "Ah——"
"Is it serious?" asked Princess Jingning.
"It's just a sprain, but the bones are fine." Su Xiaoxiao said.
Hearing that the bones were fine, Princess Jingning's expression eased a little.
Su Xiaoxiao continued to examine Princess Hui'an and asked Princess Jingning what had happened.
Princess Jingning looked at Princess Hui'an calmly and said, "Ask her."
Princess Hui'an turned her face away and said nothing.
Su Xiaoxiao paused and said, "Princess Beiyan again?"
Princess Hui'an said aggrievedly: "She was the one who provoked me first."
The two had a grudge in the morning, and Princess Hui'an thought she would not see him again in the afternoon, but unexpectedly she saw Zhao Kangning riding a horse alone on the pasture.
Princess Hui'an was not as good as her in studying, so how could she lose to her in riding skills?
Then she went to challenge Zhao Kangning.
Princess Jingning glared at her in dismay: "Zhao Kangning's uncle is the mighty general of Northern Yan. She spends more time in the general's mansion than in the palace. Do you think she is made of paper? Do you really think that you can get the upper hand with your mediocre riding skills?"
"I'm not made of paper either!" Hui'an Gongyi said indignantly, and just as she finished speaking, she felt a sharp pain in her right arm. She screamed and tears welled up in her eyes.
Su Xiaoxiao said, "It's dislocated. Princess, bear with it. I'll put it back in place for you."
Princess Hui'an asked fearfully, "Will it hurt? Wait a minute! Let me prepare!"
Su Xiaoxiao held her arm and said, "I'll count to three."
Princess Hui'an asked weakly, "Can you count dozens of times?"
Su Xiaoxiao refused seriously: "No."
Princess Hui'an said pitifully, "Oh... then... then count slowly..."
"one."
Click! Su Xiaoxiao put her arm back in place.
Princess Hui'an was still waiting for the second and third, and she was completely confused.
"You said the count to three..."
Su Xiaoxiao said: "Then, I will unload it for you again and count it again?"
Princess Hui'an shuddered: "No!"
Princess Hui'an fell off her horse from the right side, dislocating her right arm and spraining her right ankle. These injuries were actually not light, not to mention the various large and small abrasions on Princess Hui'an's body.
Su Xiaoxiao looked at Princess Hui'an and asked, "Princess, you have always been a good rider, why did you fall off your horse?"
Princess Hui'an raised her eyebrows and looked at Princess Jingning proudly: "Did you hear that? I'm a very good rider!"
Princess Jingning didn't want to pay attention to this stupid sister.
Princess Hui'an got back to business: "I don't know what happened, the horse suddenly became disobedient."
Su Xiaoxiao asked again: "Is it because it was too close to Princess Beiyan's horse, so it got frightened?"
That was what happened with Guo Lingxi. The two horses almost collided and both were frightened.
"No, she and I are quite far apart." Princess Hui'an said to save her dignity, "But I'm almost catching up!"
Princess Jingning recalled: "I was there at the time, and the Princess of Beiyan did not deliberately startle Hui'an's horse... Hui'an's horse did have an inexplicable attack."
"I'll go and have a look at the horse."
"Yes." Princess Jingning nodded.
"Hey!" Princess Hui'an grabbed Su Xiaoxiao's hand, "You don't care about me anymore?"
Su Xiaoxiao said, "Oh!" She took out a bottle of golden wound medicine from her bosom and handed it to Princess Hui'an. "This is the unique prescription of the First Hall. It has a miraculous effect on injuries. Princess, you can heal it in a few days without leaving any scars."
Is that what she meant?
He doesn't have the awareness of a little follower at all!
"If the princess doesn't want to..."
"Who said I don't want it?" Princess Hui'an took the medicine bottle angrily.
Princess Jingning sent Princess Hui'an back to Qixiang Palace.
Su Xiaoxiao went to the stable to see the horse.
It's normal, nothing unusual, and the feed has not been tampered with.
So, why did the horse suddenly go crazy? Whoosh! An arrow shot at him.
Su Xiaoxiao grabbed the arrow with her backhand.
She turned around and looked indifferently at Guo Lingxi who was holding a bow and arrow.
Guo Lingxi smiled carelessly: "Don't worry, I don't want to kill you. The arrow has no tip. I just want to scare you."
Su Xiaoxiao threw the headless arrow: "Is it interesting, Guo Lingxi?"
Guo Lingxi smiled and said, "Of course it's interesting. If I'm not having a good time, then you guys should be with me and have a hard time too."
Su Xiaoxiao looked at her coldly: "Did you do that?"
Guo Lingxi sighed: "I hope it's me, but unfortunately, I hope Hui'an is alive more than anyone else. What if the Western Jin envoy doesn't like me and insists on marrying Hui'an?"
Su Xiaoxiao said seriously: "I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you."
She would never let Princess Hui'an marry.
Guo Lingxi was jealous of Su Xiaoxiao marrying Wei Ting, and was also jealous of Su Xiaoxiao protecting Hui'an.
She didn't know for a moment whether to say who had a better life, Su Xiaoxiao or Hui'an.
She suppressed her anger and said, "I'm not here to quarrel with you. I want to remind you to be careful of Princess Beiyan. Do you know why she targeted Hui'an? Because of Wei Ting."
"Originally, they were targeting me, but I'm going to marry into the Western Jin Dynasty. She can't afford to offend me, and there's no need to offend me. You're different. If you die, will the position of Madam Wei be vacant?"
