Chapter 433: Zhao Zhao's Decisiveness
"The horse is frightened! Protect Her Royal Highness the Princess! Quickly!!!"
The astonished palace maids let out shrill screams.
Several guards who had just brought the ponies reacted the fastest. They immediately jumped on the horses and squeezed their bellies hard.
Like an arrow shot from a bow, he chased after the out-of-control pony carrying the Dayan Pearl!
Although Zhaozhao is young, his horse riding skills are already quite solid.
She suppressed her fear, held the reins tightly with one hand, and tried to slow down the horse so that the guards behind her could catch up and rescue her.
But the foal under her is a good one picked from thousands. Although it is small in size, it has amazing explosive power that ordinary horses can hardly achieve.
The guards had no time to go back to the stable to change horses, and the ponies ran at their fastest speed, but still couldn't catch up with the foal in front.
What's worse, Zhao Zhao used too much force in a hurry.
The reins were pulled suddenly, and the pony felt pain and turned its head without any reason!
It rushed back in the direction the guards were chasing, at an even faster speed!
The guards were afraid that the princess would be knocked off her horse, so they moved to the sides and at the same time reached out to hug Her Royal Highness the Princess and the Tenth Young Master on horseback.
But the foal was as nimble as a flash of lightning. It unexpectedly turned a corner and rushed past several guards who were riding horses to intercept it!
The guards were horrified and reached out to grab the reins, but the horses were running too fast and their fingertips barely brushed the cold leather!
"Quick! Turn around! Chase!!" a guard roared.
At this moment, Dabao just suppressed his fear and helped Liubao and Qibao, who were a little far away and had fallen less seriously.
When they looked up, they saw that the crazy horse carrying Sister Zhaozhao and the tenth brother was rushing back towards them!
And on the grass right in front of it were Erbao, Sanbao, Sibao, and Wubao, who were supporting each other!
Dabao's mind went blank, and his instinct for survival was instantly overwhelmed by his strong sense of responsibility as an older brother to protect his younger brother!
Without any hesitation, he opened his small arms and stood in front of his younger brothers like a thin but extremely firm wall!
“Dabao——!!!”
Zhao Zhao, who was on horseback, looked at this scene, and his eyes were instantly bloodshot!
In his arms was the frightened Shibao, under his seat was a madly shaking horse, and in front of him was Dabao who was about to be trampled into a pulp!
At the critical moment!
Zhao Zhao suddenly loosened his grip on the reins, and with lightning speed, he pulled off the red-gold hairpin inlaid with round pearls on his head with his right hand.
The pointed tail of the hairpin reflected a chilling light in the glaring sunlight.
Without any hesitation!
She used all her strength, put all her weight on her right arm, and aimed it at the most vulnerable neck of the pony under her.
Stab it hard!
“Puff!”
A muffled sound that makes your scalp tingle!
Warm blood with a strong smell of rust gushed out, splashing Zhao Zhao's sleeves and little face!
“Whee——!!!”
The foal let out a horrible whine that was so painful and shrill that it was out of tune.
The severe pain caused by this fatal blow caused its body to suddenly fly back.
Zhao Zhao only felt his body lighten, and he and the ten treasures in his arms were thrown out fiercely and high like a kite with a broken string!
"Princess--!"
"Tenth Young Master——!"
The palace servants' screams of terror cut through the sky above the entire racecourse.
The moment the body is thrown off the horse's back and rises into the air.
Zhao Zhao had only one thought in her mind: she must protect Shibao!
She hugged the soft and fragile little body tightly to her chest, and used her entire back and head to face the approaching cold and hard earth!
The guards who abandoned their horses and ran away were no longer concerned about their lives.
They jumped with all their might in the direction where the princess fell!
Five of them took the lead and used their flesh and blood to heavily cushion the place where Zhao Zhao's body was about to fall!
"Bang--!!!"
A dull and loud sound that made people's hearts and minds tremble!
Zhao Zhao felt a sharp pain at the back of his head and hit it hard on the back of a guard.
The huge impact and severe dizziness made her see stars.
At the same time, she clearly felt that her left arm, which was used to protect Shibao and was subconsciously stretched out when she fell, hit the back of another guard hard.
A teeth-grinding "crack" sound of bones breaking came clearly into my ears.
The piercing pain made her eyes go black and she almost fainted.
“Wow—!”
Shibao in his arms was frightened out of his wits by the violent shock and the horrible feeling of weightlessness, and burst into earth-shaking howls.
"Shibao!!" Zhao Zhao endured the severe pain and dizziness that almost swallowed his consciousness, and looked down with difficulty to check the Shibao in his arms.
The little guy's face was pale and he was crying heart-wrenchingly with tears streaming down his face.
But fortunately, there seems to be no direct damage from the impact.
"Your Highness!"
"Tenth Young Master!"
"Hurry! Help! Doctor! Call the doctor!!"
The palace maids rolled and crawled over, using their hands and feet to rush over.
The foal fell in a pool of blood, with a golden hairpin stuck in the side of its neck and its limbs still twitching slightly.
Zhao Zhao was helped up by the palace maids. Her face was as pale as paper, her left arm was bent at a strange angle, and her right palm was covered in blood.
Just then, a burst of hurried, heavy footsteps came from afar.
Crown Prince Yan Xingtian had just finished his lessons with his tutor when he received a report from a palace servant.
Zhao Zhao took the ten young masters of the Marquis' Mansion to the horse farm.
He was a little worried and brought people over immediately.
As soon as he stepped into the racecourse, what caught his eyes was such a chaotic and tragic scene!
His sister, who was from the same mother, looked like a delicate flower ravaged by a violent storm, hanging in a desperate manner with an obviously broken arm.
The little face was completely bloodless, covered in bright red blood and dust.
Those eyes that were always filled with a sly smile now only contained pain and fear.
Yan Xingtian's handsome face, which always showed the maturity of a young man, no longer had any composure, and was only filled with rage and horror.
A cold murderous intent instantly swept through my body!
“Zhao Zhao——!!!”
He roared loudly, and his figure was as fast as lightning, rushing to Zhao Zhao in a few steps.
"Where does it hurt? Tell me, brother! Besides your arm, where else is it injured?!"
Yan Xingtian knelt on one knee, and with trembling hands he wanted to touch her blood-stained face and palms, but he was afraid of increasing her pain.
When Zhao Zhao saw his third brother, whom he respected the most, the tense string in his heart finally broke.
The huge fear and grievances found an outlet for release.
She couldn't bear it any longer, and her bloody right hand tightly grasped her brother's clothes.
She buried her little face in his arms and cried loudly: "Wuwuwu... Third brother... Ma is crazy... It's so scary..."
Yan Xingtian's heart was gripped by the crying. He hugged his sister's trembling body tightly and roared at the East Palace guards behind him who were falling into an icy cave:
"Go get the imperial physician immediately! Call all the people on duty at the Imperial Hospital! Quickly!!!"
"Yes! Your Highness!" A guard rolled and crawled, running away at the fastest speed in his life.
Yan Xingtian suddenly raised his head, and his eyes, like icy sharp blades, swept over the group of pale and trembling palace servants and eunuchs around him, and his voice was so cold that it could freeze the air.
"Go and call the Emperor, the Empress, and the Marquis of Pingnan immediately!"
"Yes, sir!" Another guard responded and turned and ran away.
Finally, Yan Xingtian fixed his gaze on the stables, speaking word for word:
"All the staff on duty at the stables! Whether they are stewards, grooms, servants, or palace maids, I will capture them all! No one shall be left behind! No one may approach without my order! Anyone who dares to resist will be killed without mercy!"
"Obey the Crown Prince's order!!" The guards brought by the Eastern Palace were already filled with murderous intent and took action immediately after hearing the order.
