The moment Su Xuerou jumped off the carriage, Ma heard a loud bang.
The two carriages collided, and the people inside were thrown out by the impact.
Su Xuerou was terrified by what she saw, and was glad that she had acted quickly, otherwise she would have been the one rolling out with the old woman.
The maidservant beside Su Xuerou pointed to the old woman over there with a worried expression, "Miss Su, that old lady seems to be seriously injured. Should we go and take a look?"
The woman was lying on the ground, struggling to crawl with her remaining consciousness, but her legs were pinned under the carriage and she would have difficulty getting off without help.
Hearing the commotion, the woman quickly noticed Su Xuerou over there, her voice pleading, "Miss... please save me."
Su Xuerou frowned, instinctively unwilling to get involved in this trouble.
If it weren't for this carriage that suddenly rushed over, my carriage wouldn't have been damaged like this.
Seeing that Su Xuerou stood there unmoved, the maidservant spoke up again, "Miss Su, I think this woman is dressed in expensive clothes, she is probably a noble lady, otherwise, we might be able to help her?"
Su Xuerou could only nod after hearing this, as she and Jiang Mubai had just returned to the capital and needed to establish themselves firmly at that time.
If she could befriend a noblewoman, it would greatly help her consolidate her position.
Thinking of this, Su Xuerou nodded and ordered the people around her to move the carriage.
She only brought two guards and a maid with her on this trip. It took the combined efforts of the three of them to barely rescue the trapped old woman from under the carriage.
Although Su Xuerou was disgusted, she couldn't help but put on an act and stepped forward to ask with feigned concern, "Madam, how are you? What happened to the carriage just now..."
Before Su Xuerou could finish her question, she heard a gasp from beside her.
"Miss Su...Miss Su is a monster!"
Following the direction the maid pointed, Su Xuerou saw five or six guards shrouded in black mist, each holding a long sword, rushing towards them.
Two guards went up to fight them first, but they died by the sword in just a few moves.
Su Xuerou trembled with fear and immediately realized that the five or six men were likely after the old woman.
Worried that the maid and the old woman would hold her back, she hurriedly said, "I'll go and distract those people... Xiao Tao, you must protect this old lady."
When Ye Jintang arrived, he saw Su Xuerou running away quickly, and heard the words she said as she left.
What a convenient excuse! It's clearly an attempt to escape while giving oneself a fancy reason.
This so-called plot of rescuing the Empress Dowager is utter nonsense.
The puppet's target was clearly the Empress Dowager. The maid called Xiao Tao saw Su Xuerou run away and tried to leave as well, but she was killed by the sword before she could even take a step.
Only the Empress Dowager remained alive.
Ye Jintang frowned slightly. Seeing that the puppet was about to attack the Empress Dowager, she knew that she couldn't possibly save her from her current distance unless she teleported.
These puppets were controlled by the puppets. Ye Jintang quickly took out several talismans from his space, activated the spiritual power of the space, and chanted a spell as the talismans flew towards the puppets.
The cleaver was abruptly stopped by the power of the talisman when it was still a fraction of a distance from the Empress Dowager.
Then they saw that the Empress Dowager had already fainted from excessive fright.
Ye Jintang breathed a sigh of relief. When the six puppets saw her break in, they mechanically turned around and attacked her.
Seeing the puppets rushing towards her, Ye Jintang curled her lips. It would save her the trouble of dealing with them one by one if they all came at once.
The talisman transformed into a spiritual net, binding the puppets together. The malevolent energy on their bodies gradually disappeared as the spiritual net absorbed it.
Until the last bit of malevolent energy disappeared, Ye Jintang wanted to step forward to see what these puppets were made of, but saw the six of them turn into wisps of black smoke and escape.
This happened so fast that Ye Jintang didn't even have time to react.
She glanced at the direction where the black smoke disappeared, her eyes narrowing slightly, and quickly slipped away.
The two guards and the maid were already dead. Ye Jintang came to the Empress Dowager's side and examined her again, but the result made Ye Jintang frown.
Some of the malevolent energy even entered the Empress Dowager's body.
If not dispelled in time, this malevolent energy will disrupt the other party's thinking, and over time, they will become their puppet.
However, the Empress Dowager's identity was unusual.
Ye Jintang immediately realized that this was a carefully planned danger.
No wonder the Empress Dowager's personality changed drastically after this ordeal in the book, and she even began to interfere in court affairs; she was probably greatly influenced by this ominous aura.
Now that she's here, she can't just stand by and watch this happen.
Just then, the sound of a horse-drawn carriage came from the surrounding area.
"Miss."
Green Lotus appeared before her in a carriage.
"Green lotus?"
Upon seeing who it was, Ye Jintang was somewhat surprised. "Didn't I tell you to wait for me there? And how did you find this place?"
“It was the talisman you gave me. I was worried about your safety when I saw a carriage.”
She never expected that the talisman given to her by her young mistress would have the function of guiding the way.
Ye Jintang nodded slightly. The reason these talismans were effective was largely due to the spiritual energy she drew from the space.
While she was dealing with these puppets, Green Lotus's talismans were also affected by spiritual power.
"Green Lotus, come with me and help carry her into the carriage."
It must be said that the carriage that Lühe found was very timely, and it largely solved the problem of how to get the Empress Dowager away.
"yes."
After the Empress Dowager was carried into the carriage, Green Lotus drove away from the woods.
"Miss, where should we go next?"
"Go to the pharmacy, enter through the back door."
These events in the woods, coupled with the Empress Dowager's disappearance, will inevitably attract the attention of the palace.
She didn't want to cause herself any trouble while saving people, as that would be a loss.
She had set up a trap at the back door so that anyone who broke in would attract the attention of the people inside.
As Ye Jintang and Lühe carried the Empress Dowager into the inner courtyard, they heard the barking of the large wolfhound.
[Woman, you're finally back! I thought you were some uninvited guest.]
Zhou Zheng heard the commotion and rushed over. He looked surprised when he saw the old woman being carried into the house by Ye Jintang and Lühe.
"Madam, who is this person...?"
"Zhou Zheng, go and close the shop now."
Ye Jintang did not explain, but instead gave Zhou Zheng a command.
"As for Green Lotus, you take it out and keep watch. It is not allowed to come in without my permission."
Once she draws out the evil energy from the Empress Dowager's body, if it then enters another person's body, things will only become more complicated.
Seeing Ye Jintang's serious expression, Zhou Zheng and Lü He realized that this matter was of great importance, and after responding, they both acted according to Ye Jintang's orders.
And the woods on the other side.
"Your Highness, why did you suddenly change your route and come to this place?"
Just as they were resolving the strange occurrences in the village and preparing to return to the capital, their lord suddenly changed their plans.
