Chapter 51: Frightened Horse
The matter of dreams is very mysterious, and Xie Guimo didn't really believe it.
Even if he didn't need a wedding to bring good luck, he would have woken up. Chen Tang's plan to help the Jiang family avoid the Yongning Marquis's Mansion was all Jiang's dream. As for sword dancing and duck swimming, it couldn't be that he also learned it in a dream.
Looking at the direction where Chen Tang was walking away, Xie Guimo's eyes were gloomy and no one knew what he was thinking.
Chen Tang didn't expect that the quietness he experienced became even more disturbed. He no longer dared to wander around and decided it was better to stay among the crowd.
Chen Tang walked towards the ladies. Princess Roujia was admiring the flowers. When she saw Chen Tang, she walked towards her and called her affectionately, "Sister Chen Tang..."
Chen Tang bowed to her and said, "Greetings to Princess Roujia."
Without waiting for Chen Tang to bend down, Princess Roujia helped Chen Tang up and said, "Why are you being so formal with me, Sister Chen Tang?"
As she spoke, she whispered, "You sent a maid to bring me the prescription, and I haven't thanked you properly yet."
Chen Tang asked Ginkgo to deliver the prescription to Princess Roujia, knowing that medicine is partially poisonous, and Princess Roujia would not take it carelessly. He specifically asked Ginkgo to tell Princess Roujia that the prescription was very effective, and that it would definitely work for the princess. If the princess was worried, she could ask an imperial physician to look at the prescription before taking it. Princess Duan actually asked someone to take the prescription to the imperial physician, and the imperial physician said that the prescription was very good, and Princess Roujia has been taking the medicine these days.
If Princess Roujia hadn't mentioned this, Chen Tang would have forgotten that she also needed to take medicine for conditioning. She caught a cold a few days ago and took too many bitter medicines, so she wanted to wait a few days before taking them again. As a result, she forgot about this matter. After four years, she could no longer remember when her period was, and she didn't ask Ginkgo. She had to take it quickly, as she didn't want to experience that kind of excruciating pain again.
The Second Wife's people were guarding the door, so Ginkgo would be questioned if she bought the medicine. It would not be good to let Chen Shan do this for her. So she would wait until the birthday banquet was over and find a pharmacy on the way back to get some medicine to take back.
Princess Roujia talked to Shen Tang for a while, and a lady from a noble family called Princess Roujia over to play a blindfolded game of catching people. Shen Tang didn't want to participate, so he found a place to sit down and watched quietly.
After playing for a while, the maids from Prince Su's Mansion came over to invite everyone to take their seats, and Chen Tang and the ladies from wealthy families went to the table.
When Concubine Su celebrated her birthday, all the civil and military officials who could come came to congratulate her. Even the Emperor and the Empress Dowager sent gifts, which shows how much they valued the Su Palace.
The lively birthday banquet lasted for nearly two hours.
After the birthday banquet, the Su Wang Mansion sent the guests away. When getting on the carriage, Chen Tang whispered to the Third Madam, "Third Aunt, I just got a prescription, and I'm anxious to go to the pharmacy to ask the doctor. I need to delay Fourth Sister for a while, how about you go back to the mansion first?"
The Third Madam was curious about what prescription Chen Tang had gotten, but since there were people around, it was inconvenient to ask, so she refrained from asking. Anyway, Chen Tang wanted to take her daughter Chen Luo with her. Knowing that her daughter liked shopping, the Third Madam warned her, "Don't stay on the street for too long."
Shen Tang nodded in agreement.
As soon as they got on the carriage, Shen Luo asked, "What prescription does Second Sister want to see the doctor for?"
Chen Tang did not hide it from her and told her the truth, "A prescription for treating menstrual pain."
As sisters from the same mansion, Chen Luo naturally knew that Chen Tang had menstrual pain, and thought it was some kind of prescription, so she immediately lost interest.
She was more interested in shopping, Shen Luo said, "Second sister is going to get medicine, I won't accompany you, I'll go for a walk on the street."
Shen Tang didn't want her to accompany him, after all, she didn't write down the prescription, she just memorized it in her mind.
But in the end, no one went to the pharmacy.
Chen Luo wanted to go shopping, so she asked the servant to go to the most prosperous street in Kyoto. There were medicine shops on every street in Kyoto. Chen Tang just wanted to get medicine and didn't choose the medicine shop. As a result, when they arrived at the busy street and the servant wanted to stop the carriage, the horse suddenly went crazy and rushed around with the carriage.
At that time, Shen Luo was ready to get off the carriage, but the carriage suddenly started moving and she fell backwards. If Shen Tang hadn't been quick to help her, she wouldn't have known what would have happened to her.
Chen Tang supported Chen Luo with one hand and held the carriage tightly with the other. The bumpy ride made her internal organs hurt. Her back and shoulders hit the carriage several times, and the pain made her see stars.
Shen Luo was even more miserable, unable to hold on to the carriage, and she didn't know how many times she was bumped, and finally she held on to Shen Tang tightly.
Chen Tang was so hurt that she wanted to kill someone. She had ridden in a carriage so many times and nothing had ever happened. This time, Chen Xi didn't get in, and the carriage went crazy on the street. She didn't believe it was an accident.
The horse is running for its life now, and God knows when it will stop. She hasn't found her eldest brother yet, and hasn't convinced her father of the second branch's evil ambitions. She can't just die like this!
Shen Luo's face was pale and tears kept streaming down her face, half out of fear and half out of pain.
Just when Shen Tang was in so much pain that she could hardly hold on to the carriage, the carriage slowed down and her heart, which had been in her throat, finally stopped jumping out.
A corner of the carriage curtain was lifted by the wind, and Chen Tang vaguely saw a familiar figure pulling an out-of-control horse. She didn't have time to tell who it was, but she felt less uneasy.
As she was thinking this, the horse suddenly stopped, and she and Shen Luo fell forward uncontrollably.
Chen Tang held onto the carriage with one hand, while the other hand was held tightly by Chen Luo. Chen Luo stumbled forward, and Chen Tang felt that his arm was about to be pulled off. Fortunately, Shen Luo did not fall out of the carriage, but her head hit the carriage, which relieved some of the force. Otherwise, Chen Tang would really doubt whether he could save his arm.
The horse stopped, and Shen Tang felt dizzy, and her arm hurt so much that tears came out of her eyes.
Not daring to stay in the carriage any longer, Chen Tang hurried out. As a result, when the curtain was opened, she met a pair of eyes full of anxiety and worry, and the owner of these eyes was——
Thanks Guimo!
How could it be him?
The horse was killed and fell to the ground.
Chen Tang stood there in a daze. She didn't expect that the person who saved her and Shen Luo would be Xie Guimo. Shen Luo was about to get out and pushed Chen Tang. The carriage was tilted, and Shen Tang was caught off guard by Shen Luo's push and fell out directly.
Just when she was about to fall, Xie Guimo caught her in time.
It was just that someone supported him, but what happened was that he supported Chen Tang's injured arm. Chen Tang gasped in pain, tears streaming down his face, "It hurts, it hurts so much..."
Xie Guimo's face changed, "What's wrong with your arm?"
Chen Tang was in so much pain that she couldn't speak. Xie Guimo touched her arm a few times and said, "It's not broken, it's just dislocated."
"I'll connect it for you, just bear with it..."
He grabbed Chen Tang's arm and lifted it up, and Chen Tang bit his tiger's mouth to prevent himself from crying out.
Xie Guimo said, "It's okay."
The voice was so gentle that Shen Tang felt as if he had never known him before.
Ginkgo and Chunmei hurried over, the two maids were so scared that their faces turned pale, Ginkgo quickly came over to help Chen Tang, and Chunmei helped Chen Luo.
Chen Tang looked at Xie Guimo, "Thank you so much, Prince Jingyang for saving me."
