Lian Bichi looked at the furious Lian Jiucheng, who exuded a powerful sense of oppression, and the people inside the tent dared not even breathe.
Yun Duoduo had never seen Lian Jiucheng like this before. In her memory, Lian Jiucheng had always been gentle and refined.
She then remembered that Lian Jiucheng was the only prince of Shu and was destined to become the emperor of Shu.
And what emperor isn't ruthless...?
"Take the princess away and let her rest well."
Lian Jiucheng spoke coldly, and two guards led Lian Bichi away. Everyone present understood that this meant Lian Bichi was being placed under house arrest.
"Nine Cities..."
Lian Bichi's voice gradually faded into the distance.
Yun Duoduo touched her ankle; it still hurt.
She planned to take out a special medicine from the medicine box to treat the wound after everyone had left.
"Duoduo, let Grandma take a look!"
An anxious voice came from outside the tent. Nangong Rui lifted the tent flap and strode in.
"Royal Grandmother!"
"Grandmother, don't worry, Duoduo is fine!"
Empress Dowager Nangong Rui rushed over as soon as she heard the news. She was finally relieved to see that Yun Duoduo was safe and sound.
"Big sister, who's trying to harm our Duoduo?"
"You're incredibly malicious!"
Nangong Rui glanced at Wang Fengru with dissatisfaction.
"Duoduo, let's not stay here anymore, let's go back to Nanyang!"
After saying that, Nangong Rui pulled Yun Duoduo away.
"Grandmother, oh, it hurts!"
"Duoduo, what happened? Did you hurt your foot?"
"Sit down quickly." Nangong Rui helped Yun Duoduo sit down.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Wang Fengru quickly came over to persuade her, "Little sister, don't worry, Duoduo has injured her foot, so she should rest well."
"Don't worry, I will never let Duoduo suffer any injustice."
"You should come back with me to rest. Don't disturb Duoduo's rest here."
Wang Fengru pulled Nangong Rui out.
...
After a while, Lian Jiucheng's horse and Yun Duoduo's pony were brought back to the front of the tent.
Yun Duoduo saw the Ferghana horse from Lian Jiucheng, its body entirely brown and yellow, lying on the ground, its hind legs twitching.
These Ferghana horses, also known as Akhal-Teke horses, are prized for their excellent physique, obedience, speed, and suitability for long marches. They played a significant role in warfare and were the beloved horses of Lianjiucheng.
"Where is the army doctor?"
Lian Jiucheng looked at his beloved horse, not understanding why it had suddenly collapsed.
"The military doctor can treat people and horses, but we have to wait for the military doctor's mentor to come," the guard replied timidly.
"How about we let Zhuangzhuang take a look?"
Yun Duoduo suggested, "This horse, given the current situation, can't be delayed any longer."
Lian Jiucheng nodded, signaling Jin Zhuangzhuang to go and take a look.
Jin Zhuangzhuang walked to the horse's side, squatted down, and examined it carefully. The horse was breathing rapidly, its hind legs were twitching, its body temperature was very low, its pupils were dilated, and it was also grinding its teeth.
These symptoms came on suddenly, could it be poisoning?
"Where is the stable manager?"
Jin Zhuangzhuang asked the person next to him.
"Yes, sir," the steward, dressed in dark blue coarse cloth clothes and wearing a cloth hat, replied.
What did it eat?
"The little ones have only been fed grass, just like usual."
"It's just the green grass piled up outside the stable."
"Take me there to have a look."
Jin Zhuangzhuang walked to the haystack, turned over the grass, picked up a bunch of grass and smelled it. There was nothing wrong with the grass.
What did it drink?
Jin Zhuangzhuang continued to ask, and fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.
If the cause of the symptoms cannot be quickly determined, the chances of recovery will only decrease.
"It's the water from the trough; the horses drank some of it this morning."
The stable manager pointed to the separated water trough.
Jin Zhuangzhuang walked to the sink, squatted down, smelled it, and then scooped up some water from the sink to test it.
"There's nothing wrong with the water."
What exactly is the reason?
Has anyone else been here?
She suddenly thought of something.
"Ah, Princess Bichi and her maid have been here."
Lian Bichi? Could it be that she poisoned the warhorse in an attempt to harm Lian Jiucheng? That would be incredibly foolish.
[She's trying to harm Sister Duo!]
Jin Zhuangzhuang's mind raced; the most urgent thing was to find the cause of the illness and treat it as soon as possible.
[Once the horse is healed, I must teach that guy a lesson for Sister Duo!]
Jin Zhuangzhuang rolled up his sleeves.
The stable manager looked at Jin Zhuangzhuang with some concern.
[This girl knows how to judge horses?]
This Ferghana horse is an old steed that has accompanied His Highness on the battlefield. He considers it a companion, and if the horse dies, His Highness will likely be furious.
"Quickly, go and fetch Lian Bichi and her maidservant here! Be fast!"
Upon hearing Jin Zhuangzhuang's words, the soldier beside him nodded, turned around, and dashed off to find the two of them.
A moment later, Lian Bichi and her maid were dragged by two soldiers to the front of the stable.
"open!"
"What are you doing? Do you know who I am?"
"I will have Jiucheng sentence you to death!"
They didn't care about any princess; if the horse couldn't be saved, they would all be in deep trouble.
Seeing the two of them approach, Jin Zhuangzhuang reached out and gently pulled Lian Bichi over, tugging at the wrinkles in her clothes.
In the instant he reached out, he had already smeared the powder in his hand onto Lian Bichi's body.
[Hmph, just you wait and see!]
This medicine is colorless and odorless, and after one incense stick's time, it will cause a person's entire body to turn red.
Jin Zhuangzhuang bowed and said, "I'm sorry to trouble you, Princess."
