Chapter 163 The Eldest Princess
“Water…” Shadow Two’s voice was hoarse as he managed to utter a sound from his throat.
Biluo hurriedly ran to the table, poured a glass of water, carefully helped Ying Er up, and slowly fed him the water.
"How are you feeling?" Su Fuying gently took his pulse, carefully feeling the pulse, and only felt relieved after confirming that there was nothing seriously wrong.
"Princess, I'm fine," Ying Er said, forcing himself to remain calm.
"You say you're fine, but you've been unconscious for eight days," Biluo replied somewhat discontentedly.
Shadow Two looked embarrassed and didn't know how to respond, so he simply shut up and stopped talking.
Seeing this, Su Fuying's expression shifted, her gaze falling on the two of them, a knowing look appearing in her eyes.
She parted her lips slightly and said softly, "Biluo, take good care of Ying Er. Apply the ointment to him every hour."
Biluo nodded obediently and replied, "Okay."
The next morning, the rain that had been falling for several days finally stopped. Opening the window, a damp, chilly air rushed in. Su Fuying took a deep breath, savoring the fresh air after the rain.
"Biluo, prepare the car," she whispered.
The carriage slowly drove out of the mansion gate, its wheels creaking and groaning on the damp ground.
The houses and trees on both sides of the street were washed clean by the rain, but the street seemed particularly deserted at this time.
Su Fuying lifted a corner of the carriage curtain and looked outside. The entire street was deserted, with only the sound of cart tracks rolling on the ground.
The unusual silence aroused her suspicion, and she couldn't help but frown.
"Biluo, what's going on? There's not a single person on the street." She turned to ask the maid beside her.
Biluo shook her head, equally puzzled. "Miss, I don't know either. The streets should be bustling at this time of day."
Suddenly, a commotion from the direction of the city gate interrupted their conversation.
"By the way, Miss, the Princess should be arriving in the capital today, and all the people should be going to see her."
Biluo suddenly realized this, and everything made sense.
"Go and see."
Su Fuying was somewhat curious; how could the return of the Princess to the capital cause such a scene of everyone flocking to the city?
Most importantly, this person was able to get that man to warn her to be careful.
The carriage slowly made its way to the main street, but had to stop due to traffic congestion.
At this point, Su Fuying and Biluo had no choice but to get out of the car and walk.
The streets were bustling with people, and idle passersby gathered together, talking in hushed tones.
Su Fuying and Biluo walked along the bustling street, occasionally brushing past the crowds of pedestrians.
Suddenly, a commotion arose ahead, attracting their attention.
Looking up, I saw crowds surging toward the city gate.
Out of curiosity, Su Fuying decided to follow the crowd to find out.
As they arrived at the gathering place, the sound of carriages and horses approached from afar.
A magnificent and luxurious carriage appeared before everyone's eyes, arriving on the wind.
The carriage was decorated with gold carvings, making it exceptionally ornate and highlighting the owner's noble status.
Two hollowed-out bamboo lanterns hung in front of the carriage door, swaying from side to side as the carriage moved, adding a touch of mystery.
There were two horses pulling the cart, both handsome and strong, their hooves clattering on the ground, kicking up clouds of dust.
Their fur is as soft as silk, and their eyes reveal majesty and confidence.
"Miss, the Princess is making quite a grand entrance."
Biluo stood on tiptoe behind her, craning her neck to look.
However, due to the large number of people, Su Fuying could not see the specific situation in front of her, and could only vaguely see the sedan chair in the distance.
Finally, the carriage stopped at the empty city gate, and Su Fuying then noticed that several ministers were waiting outside.
Upon seeing the carriage arrive, they all stepped forward to pay their respects, saying, "Your subjects respectfully welcome the Princess back to the capital."
The scene was so quiet that only the whistling wind could be heard. The ministers knelt outside for a long time, but received no response.
An elderly official staggered and nearly fell to the ground.
"Ah."
Finally, a sound came from inside the carriage, and the ministers immediately stood up with a sigh of relief.
"Walk."
The coachman lashed the horse's rump with his whip, and the horse neighed and galloped straight into the city like the wind.
No one expected this turn of events, and one minister was so frightened that he fell to the ground.
"Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"
"Hurry up."
The onlookers scattered immediately, and Biluo was almost pushed to the ground. Su Fuying grabbed her and flew her up into the air.
"Mother, mother, mother..."
A sharp wail suddenly rang out, instantly attracting the attention of everyone around.
A little girl of three or four years old was sitting in the middle of the street, while a carriage was speeding towards them.
"My daughter, my daughter!" a woman screamed in terror, trying to rush towards the little girl, but was immediately held back by other onlookers.
They all tried to dissuade him, saying, "You can't go there, you'll die."
"Yes, Aunt Wang, don't go."
Everyone closed their eyes, unable to bear witnessing the horrific scene that was about to unfold.
Just then, the neighing of a horse echoed through the street, followed by the dull thud of a heavy object falling to the ground.
When people opened their eyes, they were surprised to find that the once majestic horse was now lying stiffly on the ground, with bright red blood flowing from its forelegs.
In front of the horse, a slender figure stood proudly, and behind her was a little girl who was crying.
A deathly silence fell over the entire scene. The carriage shaft broke, and the carriage itself crashed to the ground.
Fortunately, the carriage was of excellent quality; otherwise, it would have fallen apart long ago after such a violent impact.
"How dare she offend the Princess! Guards, seize her!"
The guards finally snapped out of their shock. A small squad of guards, each wielding a longsword, strode forward and held the cold, white sword horizontally in front of Su Fuying.
People around began to whisper:
"It's over."
"Oh no, this guy is probably..."
"It's a pity that she's so beautiful and kind-hearted."
"That looks like Princess Yongle!"
"That's Princess Yongle. I saw her once in front of the Minister's mansion. She was so beautiful that I couldn't forget her."
"It's a pity. They must not know the Princess's name, which is why they were so offensive."
......
"You disregard the lives of ordinary people like this; do you even know what the law is?"
The woman stood in front of the carriage, her eyes scanning the group of guards up and down, her voice cold.
"How dare you! This is the Princess's carriage. Commoners should give way. If she encounters someone who doesn't know their place, then she's just unlucky!"
The head of the guards said with a disdainful tone.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, are you alright?"
Several maids hurried forward, wanting to enter the carriage to check the situation.
"Get out!" A sharp, angry shout came from inside the carriage. Several maids knelt on the ground in terror, their bodies trembling, and dared not take another step forward.
"You'll have to be more careful next time," Su Fuying said gently, then carefully picked up the child from the ground and handed him to the lady, giving her tender instructions.
"Yes, yes, thank you, Princess Yongle. But..." The woman nodded gratefully, but her gaze turned worriedly toward the princess, a hint of guilt on her face.
"fine."
Su Fuying gently comforted her, and the woman said nothing more, quickly stepping back while holding the child in her arms.
After a while, the silk curtain of the carriage was slowly lifted by a pair of fair and slender hands.
