Chapter 75 The carriage went out of control and fell apart, throwing the rider off balance.
The guard from the Third Prince's residence took ten taels of silver and went to the back of the line, asking Yun Zhaoxue to sell him the fish.
Yun Zhaoxue said disdainfully, "Ten taels? Are you trying to fob me off like a beggar? No way, less than five hundred taels. Get lost!"
The guard said, "Ten taels of silver would be more than enough to buy dozens of them. If we buy two from you now, you won't lose out. Our Third Prince and Third Prince's Consort want to eat them. Please, Princess, be lenient."
"There are only escorts and exiles here. There are no Third Princes or Third Princes' wives, and no princesses either. Even if the Heavenly King himself came, it would cost five hundred taels per item. If you can't afford it, don't buy it."
"Five hundred taels is too expensive. Let's lower the price a bit more. I'll go back and discuss it with my masters."
"No discussion. If you can't afford it, then don't eat it. We won't let your master starve."
Despite the guard's kind words, she still refused to sell. Remembering Yun Jiaoyue's instructions, she threw down the silver and bent down to grab the jar containing the fish, saying, "Excuse me."
Yun Zhaoxue raised her hand and pressed down on the edge of the jar. "Put it down!"
The other person swung an elbow at her, aiming directly at her abdomen.
If the opponent had internal energy, she might be knocked away, so she had no choice but to let go.
The guard picked up the jar and ran.
Yun Zhaoxue picked up a stick and chased after him, yelling, "You bastard! I'm the only one who steals from others, no one has ever dared to steal from me before! You're dead!"
Xiao Xuance picked some wild vegetables and fruits, and returned to the group, but Yun Zhaoxue was nowhere to be seen.
Xiao Xuanwu and his nephew and niece craned their necks, looking anxiously ahead. "Xiaowu, where is she? Where did she go?"
Xiao Xuanwu quickly said, "Your Highness, the Third Prince wanted to eat fish and sent his guard to buy it. Third Sister-in-law said she would only sell it for five hundred taels of silver, but the other party threw down ten taels and took the fish away. Third Sister-in-law went after him."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Xuance threw away the cloth bag and chased after him.
Knowing that Yun Zhaoxue was chasing after him, the guard ran forward quickly, weaving through the crowd and dodging his way to the Third Prince's carriage at the front.
He was simply following his master's orders.
Yun Zhaoxue is just a princess. As long as His Highness asks for it, we should at least give him some face.
The exiles were thrown about by their collision, some spinning halfway around, cursing, "Who is it? Are you blind? Can't you see there are people in front of you?"
As Yun Zhaoxue passed by Yun Xiuwen, she deliberately nudged him.
"Ouch..." Yun Xiuwen fell face-first into the grass. Lying on the ground, he looked up and saw Yun Zhaoxue's back. "Who the hell dared to push me? It's you again, you wretched girl! I should have pinched you back then, ouch..."
Suddenly, another foot stepped on the back of his hand, making him howl in pain, "My hand, my hand, which damn bastard stepped on me, come out here."
Looking up, I realized I had already run far away.
Yun Yanzhe helped the man up. "Father, it's Prince Xiao."
Yun Xiuwen was furious and slapped his thigh as he burst into tears, "Why am I so unlucky? Both my daughters are here to collect debts. They bully me, their father, and they even let their husbands bully their father-in-law. Unfilial daughters, all of them unfilial daughters! I should have strangled them back then, waaaaah..."
Those around him nodded unconsciously, as if it were indeed true.
This Lord Yun is truly pitiful.
Yun Zhaoxue followed the guards to the back of the second carriage.
She pressed her hand on his shoulder, and with her other hand she raised it around his neck and tightened it.
The guard reached out and grabbed the iron chain, pulling it outwards, and bent down to try to break free.
Hearing the commotion, Shen Qingyu, who was sitting in the carriage, leaned out of the window and saw Yun Zhaoxue fighting with the guards.
Great, the chance for revenge has arrived.
Tell the guard commander, "Hit her, hit her in the stomach..."
Pregnant women are very vulnerable; a fall could result in the death of both mother and child.
One punch and Yun Zhaoxue would be dead.
Yun Zhaoxue glanced at her; soon she would be living a life worse than death.
The guard only wanted to complete his master's task and get the fish; he didn't want to kill anyone and therefore didn't follow his orders.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Yun Zhaoxue tried to snatch the jar and grabbed its rim.
The guards held on tightly as well.
The two grabbed the jar and pulled at it, neither willing to let go.
Yun Zhaoxue's sticks landed on the back of his hands, "Bang! Bang!!"
The guards still wouldn't let go.
The third blow swept across his face, but the guard bent his elbow to block it. "Bang!"
Yun Zhaoxue feinted with her spear, then released the jar with her other hand, turning her palm into a claw, and suddenly pinched the vital point on his wrist, gripping his wrist and twisting it forcefully, "Crack!"
The guard cried out in pain, "Ouch!"
The jar in his hand flew up and then slipped back down.
With a deft flick of her toe, Yun Zhaoxue sent the jar flying into her hand.
The guard tried to pounce on him again.
Yun Zhaoxue took a step back to avoid it.
At that moment, a figure rushed forward and struck the guard in the chest with a palm strike, "Bang!"
"Ugh..." The guard groaned and coughed up blood, flying several meters away before crashing into the carriage. "Bang!"
The horses of the carriage he hit went out of control and ran at full speed.
Then it crashed into the carriage of the Third Prince at the very front, "Bang!—"
Both carriages went out of control, the horses neighed and ignored the guards' shouts, galloping forward at high speed.
Yun Zhaoxue felt a surge of satisfaction, but then glanced back out of the corner of her eye, swayed, and fell backward, crying out, "Ouch!"
Xiao Xuance caught her as she fell, his pupils contracting. "How are you? Where are you hurt?"
Yun Zhaoxue shoved the jar into his hands, winked at him, and gripped the hem of his robe tightly with both hands.
She buried her face in his chest, breathing rapidly, "My stomach hurts, I think I'm having a miscarriage, I can't go on, I can't walk."
At this moment, Xiao Xuanwu and Yang Shi and the others also pushed the cart up.
"Ce'er, what's wrong with Xue'er?"
Yun Zhaoxue looked pained, "My stomach, my stomach hurts so much..."
Madam Yang rushed forward and hugged Yun Zhaoxue, saying, "Quickly take Xue'er to find a doctor."
Xiao Xuance held Yun Zhaoxue tightly, saying, "Mother, we don't have the money to see a doctor. Just bear with it."
Yun Zhaoxue, "..."
Yang, "..."
...
The escorts in front noticed that the carriage was chasing them. "Stop! Stop! If you don't stop, you'll be treated as a fugitive!"
Shen Qingyu, inside the carriage, gripped the edge of the window.
Suddenly, a loud "crack!" came from under the car.
One of the wheels detached from the carriage and rolled away.
The entire carriage instantly lost its balance, tilted violently to one side, crashed into a tree, bounced off and completely fell apart, and the people inside were violently thrown out.
"Aaaaaah!!!" She screamed and rolled around on the ground several times, feeling dizzy and disoriented, howling in pain as if her bones were about to break. "Ah! Ouch! It hurts so much, it hurts so much, waaaah..."
The Third Prince was resting and asleep in the carriage in front when the carriage suddenly shook, startling him awake.
He lifted the curtain, about to reprimand the guard.
The guard spoke first: "Your Highness, something's wrong! The carriage has gone out of control..."
The third prince wanted to jump out of the carriage to escape.
The carriage suddenly tilted, and Yun Jiaoyue rolled over. Terrified, she closed her eyes and clung tightly to him, her body hanging on him. "Ah, Your Highness, save me, waah..."
The third prince missed the best opportunity to jump out of the carriage and was thrown out the next moment.
"Ahhh! Your Highness, save me..."
The two were thrown into the mud, their faces and bodies covered in mud, instantly turning them into mud figures, their original appearances unrecognizable.
A chorus of exclamations erupted from the surrounding passersby: "My God, the carriage has fallen apart! It's fallen apart! People are flying out, flying really high!"
Those behind craned their necks but couldn't see what was happening in front, so they could only ask those in front, "How are they? Are they dead?"
"He was screaming and rolling on the ground, but he could still move, so he shouldn't be dead yet."
"Luckily I didn't ride in a carriage, otherwise I would be the one who fell off and died from the pain."
"If you don't sit, I won't sit either. That scream was terrible."
"Oh, as if you have a horse-drawn carriage to ride in."
...
At first, Lao Liao thought they were going to become fugitives, so he led a few escorts on a donkey cart to chase after them. When they caught up, they saw a mess on the ground.
He roared, “Come here and tell me, what’s going on?”
"Ouch! It hurts so much! I need a doctor, a doctor..."
Shen Qingyu wiped her blood-soaked hands from the wound on her back, writhing on the ground in pain. "Father, Mother, Eldest Brother, get me the imperial physician! The wound is bleeding again..."
The people on the ground were only wailing, and no one answered him.
Old Liao's temples throbbed with anger, and he lashed the nearby tree twice with all his whips, "Crack! Crack!!"
Enraged, he cursed, "Damn it, you bunch of people are the most arrogant and troublesome exiles I've ever seen!"
"Howl away, howl away, I'll let you lie here and howl all night long, don't leave, don't leave."
"We originally planned to stay at the post station ten miles away tonight, but that plan is canceled. We'll stay here tonight. Whether it's windy, rainy, or wild animals carry you away, you'll have to suffer."
The Third Prince's guards and maids ran forward, but after searching around, they couldn't find their master.
"Oh no, where are His Highness and the Princess? Where have they been left off?"
