After a while, two young men in riding clothes came in from outside.
Seeing Su Li, Ji Tingyou was a little surprised: "Sister Su?"
Su Li stood up, nodded at him with a smile, and looked at the boy next to him who was the same age as him.
Ji Tingyou introduced: "Sister Su, this is His Royal Highness Prince Heng."
Then he looked at the young man and said, "Your Highness, this is my sister-in-law."
Su Li was a little surprised. Prince Heng, that was the fifth prince of the current dynasty.
The current emperor has a total of five princes, and all of them have titles. Prince Heng is the youngest prince. His mother, Concubine Xu, is the cousin of the late Empress Renxuan.
In theory, he and Princess Rongfu are from the same family, but in the original novel, since the death of Empress Renxuan ten years ago, Princess Rongfu has become increasingly estranged from her maternal family, and has little contact with this imperial brother who is from the same maternal family.
She bowed and said, "Your Highness, Prince Heng, may your Highness be blessed."
Prince Heng raised his hand to support her: "Madam, there is no need to be so polite. Please stand up quickly."
Then he smiled and asked Ji Tingyou: "Tingyou, is this your eldest brother's wife?"
The person that King Heng was asking about was naturally Ji Tingyou's elder brother Pei Ji, whom he had just recognized as his biological father.
Ji Tingyou smiled and replied, "Exactly."
The tone of their conversation sounded very familiar. Su Li didn't expect that Ji Tingyou was on good terms with King Heng.
Ji Tingyou asked again: "Sister Su? Why are you here?"
Su Li smiled and said, "I'm here to buy a horse."
"Buy a horse? What kind of horse do you want to buy? I'll give it to you."
"Um?"
Ji Tingyou laughed and said, "Oh, this horse ranch is mine."
His grandfather knew that he liked riding horses, so on his thirteenth birthday, he gave him this horse farm that combined horse sales and riding.
He asked again, "What kind of horse do you want? I'll have someone choose one for you."
Su Li didn't refuse and accepted his horse, promising to return the gift to him later. He replied, "I don't know anything about horses. I bought it for the guards, and they've already gone in to choose one."
Ji Tingyou nodded and instructed the servant behind him: "Sanbao, remember to put the bill in my name later."
"Yes, sir." Sanbao said and walked into the three-story building on the left.
Then he said to Su Li, "Sister Su, you wait here. His Highness and I are going on horseback."
Su Li heard this and said, "Okay," and then bowed to Prince Heng and said, "I respectfully send you off, Your Highness."
After all, His Royal Highness Prince Heng has a high status. Even if they are very familiar with each other, Ji Tingyou would never let him stay here to wait with her.
Not long after the two of them left, Zhichang and the other man came back with a horse each. With Ji Tingyou's instructions, they didn't have to pay the bill. Afterwards, the waiter and Sanbao respectfully saw her out of the stable.
Outside the door, Xiao Sanzi was looking confused, circling the horse pulling the carriage.
Seeing Su Li, he quickly stepped forward and said, "Madam."
"What are you spinning?"
Xiao Sanzi scratched his head and said doubtfully, "I feel like there's something wrong with the horse, but I can't tell what's wrong..."
Then, with a look of sudden realization on his face, he said, "It's the smell that's wrong! Yes! It's the smell. From the very beginning, I felt that the smell of the horse was wrong, but it was very faint, almost imperceptible."
If his nose had not been more sensitive than others since he was a child, he probably would not have noticed it.
"Smell?" Su Li didn't understand horses, so of course she had no idea what the reason was, but if the horse suddenly behaved abnormally, she couldn't be careless.
Zhi Chang stepped forward and said, "Madam, I'll go see what's going on."
Su Li said, "Go ahead."
She almost forgot that Zhichang and the other two used to be secret guards following General Pingnan. They must have had to deal with various war horses on a daily basis. He probably knew something about it since he could say that.
After waiting for a moment, Zhi Chang confirmed it and said, "Madam, this horse has been sprinkled with fragrant fragrance."
"What is incense diffusion?"
"It's a drug that can make horses go crazy. Once the incense is spread, the horse will go crazy within half an hour."
When Su Li heard this, he suddenly felt angry.
This is to take advantage of the madness of the horse pulling the cart to kill her.
And now, she could not think of anyone else who wanted to kill her except Princess Rongfu.
Ji Jingxu and Liu Furong want the future Duke's throne, so if they want to deal with someone, they will deal with Pei Ji first, and will not skip the real heir to the Duke's throne to deal with her.
Moreover, in the original novel, Princess Rongfu also murdered the original owner and her two children after Pei Ji left Beijing, but she did not take action until two months after Pei Ji left Beijing.
It had only been half a day since Pei Ji left the capital, and Princess Rongfu could no longer hold back and took action.
This is most likely related to Pei Ji's current identity. She didn't dare to touch her before because she was worried about Pei Ji's attitude.
If Pei Ji officially returns to his ancestral home and becomes the Crown Prince, his wife Su Li will also be the Crown Prince's wife and the future mistress of the Jiguo Mansion. Then, if Princess Rongfu wants to deal with her, she will not only have to worry about Pei Ji's attitude, but also the strength of the entire Jiguo Mansion.
Therefore, she couldn't wait to get rid of her as soon as possible.
very good!
Su Li curled up the corner of his mouth in a sneer.
What was supposed to happen finally came. She wanted to see who would win between her and her...
She asked, "Is there an antidote for Xiang Mi San?"
Zhi Chang replied, "Yes, you can buy the antidote at the pharmacy in the west market."
"Then go buy it immediately..."
Then he gestured to Xiaowu to give him the silver.
Zhichang took the silver and mounted his horse swiftly. He gently squeezed the horse's belly and the horse galloped out towards the market in the west of the city.
Xiao Sanzi quickly untied the carriage and tied the horse under a tree nearby.
But after a while, the tied horse showed obvious abnormality. Its four legs kept pacing back and forth, and it made anxious hoarse sounds from its mouth. Then it gradually became crazy until it madly hit the tree.
Although the horse was tied securely, Xiao Sanzi and Zhitang still stood on Su Li's left and right to prevent any accidents.
Xiao Wu stared at it with wide eyes and said in shock, "Madam, look at this mad horse. It's really scary!"
Su Li couldn't help but frown. Given the terrifying extent to which the horse went mad, even if she could jump off the carriage and escape with her skills, in a downtown area, a mad horse would inevitably hurt innocent passers-by.
In order to deal with her, Princess Rongfu completely disregarded the lives of others. She is so vicious!
The West City Market was right in front of the horse farm. Zhichang bought the antidote in no time. He jumped off his horse and walked to the mad horse. With a quick wave of his hand, white powder flew into the horse's nostrils.
With the antidote, the mad horse gradually calmed down in just half a minute until it returned to normal, but it was also exhausted.
Su Li ordered, "Zhichang, use your horse to harness the carriage. As for this horse, wait until it has rested, and then you can ride it back later."
Zhichang responded respectfully, "Yes, ma'am."
Then Xiao Sanzi harnessed the horses to the carriage, and Zhichang carefully checked the carriage again. After confirming that there was no problem, Su Li got on the carriage and went straight back to the Zhuangyuan Mansion.
