Fu Yin narrowed his emerald eyes and said nonchalantly, "Great, it's just right that I can perform a magic trick in front of everyone."
A smile appeared in Shen Huaixu's eyes. She was just talking casually. It was enough for the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion to commit suicide by itself.
As she walked, she suddenly saw a person she had seen in a portrait before. The woman was standing in front of a stall selling embroidered handkerchiefs. Her long hair was braided in front of her. She was beautiful and had a slim figure. She smiled at the women and girls who asked about the price of the handkerchiefs. She seemed neither overly enthusiastic nor cold.
Bai Lan is very good at needlework and she makes a living with her embroidery. Shuangjiang told Shen Huaixu about this.
Her eyes flickered slightly, and she turned her head to look at the horse she was leading. The horse gradually became restless. She touched the horse's head soothingly and walked towards the embroidery stall.
Her fingers, white as scallions, picked up an embroidered handkerchief. It was embroidered with a red plum blossom, with vigorous branches and plum blossoms in full bloom, soft yet elegant. "Miss, how much is this handkerchief?"
Bai Lan was first dazzled by the appearance of the little girl in front of her. When she looked at her, her clear eyes seemed to be able to speak.
She paused and said, "This embroidered handkerchief costs thirty cents. If you think it's too expensive, you can look at something else."
"This is it. I like plum blossoms." Shen Huaixu smiled faintly.
She took off the purse from her waist, counted out thirty copper coins and handed them to Bai Lan.
After paying the money, she still stood in front of the embroidery stall and did not leave, which made Bai Lan feel puzzled. "Miss, do you have anything else to say?"
"The girl just looks familiar. She looks a bit like someone I've met before. I must have been mistaken." Shen Huaixu shook his head and prepared to leave with his horse.
Bai Lan was startled, and then suddenly became a little excited, "——Miss, please stay!"
Shen Huaixu paused, turned his head and looked at her with a puzzled look on his face.
"Girl..." She was a little confused due to her excitement. "Can you tell me where you saw someone who looks like me?"
The horse he was leading became more and more restless. Shen Huaixu tightened his grip and was about to speak when the horse suddenly neighed. The reins in his hand suddenly tightened, and the horse, which had been docile until now, began to run forward wildly.
Shen Huaixu was holding the reins in his hands and was almost pulled away.
This sudden incident alarmed many people. A passerby who happened to be walking in front of the horse was so scared that he sat down on the ground, staring blankly at the horse's hoof that was about to step on him.
Shen Huaixu exerted a little force and pulled the horse's front hooves into the air.
Seeing that the passerby had been pulled up, Shen Huaixu relaxed her strength at the right time. Seeing Bai Lan standing on the street with a pale face, hesitating to move forward, she pulled the horse's head hard in the direction of Bai Lan. At the same time, she relaxed her strength and moved to the side. The horse then rushed towards Bai Lan.
Shen Huaixu's eyes were fixed on Bai Lan, wondering how she would respond, but she stood there in a daze, her expression blank. He glanced around but found nothing unusual.
She loosened the whip wrapped around her waist and swung it towards Bai Lan with skillful force.
The whip circled around her slender waist several times. Shen Huaixu exerted force with his hand, and the long whip helped Bai Lan avoid the impact of the crazy horse.
It seems that Bai Lan, the chess piece, is not very important to Shangguan Yi, otherwise he would always have to have someone to monitor and protect her.
Letting go of the whip handle, Chen Huaixu flashed to the side of the crazy horse, found an opportunity to grab the reins, jumped on the horse, and drove the horse towards the two people in the crowd.
Shangguan Ruoyan and Yingluan, who were watching the excitement, almost lost their ability to think in the face of this sudden change. Yingluan's mind was quick and she dodged without thinking. In the end, Shangguan Ruoyan, who was a little slow to react, was not only knocked to the ground, but also had her legs stepped on by the horse's hooves, and she screamed miserably.
Shen Huaixu's mouth curled slightly, and she swung the whip in her hand fiercely, driving the horse into the wall. When the horse reacted and tried to retreat, trying to slow down, she kicked her leg and fell to the ground, rolling on the ground to cushion the impact.
The horse hit the wall with a dull sound, then its body swayed and fell to the ground.
Shen Huaixu stood up from the ground and patted the dust off his clothes.
"good!"
“Good skills!”
"This young lady seems familiar..."
"How can this kind of person look familiar to you? He looks familiar to you in your dreams, right?"
"Isn't this... Doctor Shen? It's Doctor Shen from Jishidiang, Princess Mingyi!" A woman in the crowd said in surprise.
When someone mentioned this, many people recognized Shen Huaixu.
It's no wonder that others didn't recognize her. When Chen Huaixu was in Jishidiang, she only wore plain clothes and had a simple hairstyle. She was rarely seen dressed in any other way. The situation just now was so dangerous that naturally no one cared about her appearance.
Chen Huaixu smiled at the people around him and quickly walked to Shangguan Ruoyan who was still moaning miserably.
"Miss, you... Miss Shangguan?"
Shangguan Ruoyan felt as if her internal organs were constantly churning, and one of her legs was in unbearable pain. She cried out in pain, tears streaming down her cheeks onto the ground. All she could hear was a continuous buzzing sound in her ears, and she was no longer able to react to the fact that Shen Huaixu recognized her.
Yingluan was trying to find an excuse for abandoning her master just now. When Shen Huaixu arrived, a dark light flashed in her eyes and she sternly said, "It's all your fault! You rode your horse and committed a crime in the street, causing my young lady to suffer such serious injuries! Princess Mingyi, I know that the Xuanping Marquis's Mansion is at its peak, but even princes and princesses dare not act so arrogantly. You are going too far!"
Before Shen Huaixu could say anything, the onlookers became unhappy.
"Are you blind, little girl? I can see clearly that you dodged it, so why couldn't your young lady dodge it? Don't tell me you're trying to blackmail me!"
