Chapter 248
Xiao Ruan had a panoramic view of the small movements of the two of them, and when she turned her gaze to the prince below the stage, she found that the prince was staring at Lu Heng intently, and his face was full of pampering.

Different from the men's competition just now, the women's competition is simpler, only three laps are enough.

After the sound of the salute, the horses under the ladies were in a variety of situations. They either stopped immediately or walked slowly, just like the old ladies on the street, making everyone in the stands laugh .

Lu Heng has participated in many such competitions before, and he is no stranger to these competitions, but Duanmuyao from Beijiang has opened his eyes.

She had just driven away when she suddenly heard a woman's exclamation from behind her. When she turned her head, she was stunned by what she saw in front of her. When she had laughed enough, she came back to her senses and found that Lu Heng was already far ahead. in front of everyone.

With a flash of light in his eyes, Duanmu Yao immediately put away the smile on his face, raised his long whip high, whipped the horse's belly hard, and immediately chased after him.

After half a stick of incense, there were only a dozen or so of the original 50 contestants vying for the red silk that symbolizes the helmet, and Lu Heng, who was in the front, was dressed in red.

There was the whistling wind beside his ears, and Lu Heng's eyes only saw the red silk flowers in the distance and at the end.

With the sound of waving the whip, a red figure suddenly flashed in the corner of her eyes, and she immediately realized that the princess of Beijiang had caught up.

Turning his head and glanced at the woman behind him, a gleam of light flashed in Lu Heng's eyes, he blinked at the man and proudly raised his whip, and immediately pulled a long distance away from Duanmu Yao.

Getting closer and closer to the red silk flowers, Lu Heng was secretly delighted in his heart, and suddenly felt the bay red horse under him tremble.

Before he realized what was going on, the horse's speed was a little faster, and the horse's head swung from time to time, as if it wanted to throw Lu Heng off his body.

Lu Heng firmly held the rein in her hand, but the horse under her was shaking more and more. She was bumping on the horse's back and dared not let go of the rein directly.

And the people in the surrounding stands seemed to be aware of Lu Heng's abnormal state, and almost everyone stood up, looking at Lu Heng who was thrown around by the horse in shock.

"Miss Lu!" "Heng'er!"

Lu Heng couldn't control the horse, and the rein fell off in his hand.She was terrified, and suddenly heard several urgent voices coming from her ears, but she only had time to see Duan Muhao who was running towards her with light kung fu in the distance, and his whole body was thrown into the air by the horse.

What was even more frightening was that the horse that threw Lu Heng out was circling violently in place and did not leave.

In other words, as long as Lu Heng landed on the ground, he would most likely be trampled to death by a horse on the spot!
If someone can catch her before she hits the ground and bring her out of danger, then she may still have a chance of life, but if not...

"Prince, catch it!"

Just when Lu Heng thought she was going to die here, she then let out a scolding sound, but she still hadn't figured out what happened.She felt her body tense up suddenly, and a soft whip wrapped around her whole body, and then a strong force came, and she was thrown in another direction.

In mid-air, Lu Heng saw Duan Muyao, who had thrown her aside, rushed straight to save her, and was about to collide with the crazy horse.Surprised in her heart, she put all her heart into her heart, and completely forgot about her situation.

She wanted to yell to Duanmuyao to be careful, but she saw that the crazy horse had already mounted on Duanmuyao's horse, only heard a muffled grunt, and Duanmuyao fell off the horse's back.

And the place where she fell was exactly where the crazy horse was about to land!

"Duanmu Yao!"

All this happened in a blink of an eye, and Lu Heng only had time to scream before falling to the ground.

However, the expected pain did not hit her, but when she fell to the ground, there was a muffled sound very similar to Duanmu Yao's.

Turning her head in surprise, Lu Heng realized that she was caught by someone when she fell to the ground, and the man who followed her was the prince.

Not caring about talking to the prince, Lu Heng endured the pain in his body and hurriedly got up to see Duanmuyao.

At the same time, there seemed to be a piercing sound behind him.As soon as Lu Heng raised his head, he saw Duanmuhao stabbing Crazy Horse's neck with a dagger in his hand. He used his whole body to block Duanmuyao so that the horse's hooves did not step on her.

Seeing this scene, Lu Heng breathed a sigh of relief, and rushed to check Duanmuyao's injury nervously.

"careful!"

Just as he raised his foot, Lu Heng suddenly heard an anxious roar, looked towards the source of the sound, and suddenly found a horse with a white spot on its head rushing towards the two of them.

Lu Heng was shocked, and hurriedly looked at the horse in front of Duanmuhao, only to realize that the horse was Duanmuyao's horse, not the crazy horse he was riding.

Seeing that Lu Heng's crazy horse was about to charge towards the two of them, the prince and Lu Heng were both terrified and rushed over in a hurry.

However, just as the two rushed to the front, they saw a dark blue figure suddenly appearing on Duanmu Yao's body like a gust of wind.

But at this moment, the crazy horse stepped on the man's back fiercely, and then ran towards other places.

This scene happened so suddenly that everyone was dumbfounded. Fortunately, the guards on the horse had rushed over and dealt with the crazy horse in time.

When Xiao Ruan rushed to Xiao Zhongheng's room, she happened to see the emperor walking out of it with a solemn expression.

With a thump in his heart, Xiao Ruan hurried in.

Xiao Ruan could see the accident on the racecourse just now, sitting in the stands, but it happened too suddenly. She had already noticed something unusual from Lu Heng's horse's strange behavior, but fortunately, she saw a few figures He flew towards her, thinking that he would prevent the accident from happening, but unexpectedly, he was one step too late.

Lu Heng was thrown to the ground, Duanmuyao was hit by a crazy horse to the ground in order to save Lu Heng, and Xiao Zhongheng was trampled on by a horse's hoof in order to save Duanmuyao.

If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, Xiao Ruan would never have believed that such a thing happened by such a coincidence.

Pushing away the crowd inside, Xiao Ruan saw that the imperial physician was writing prescriptions for Xiao Zhongheng, while Xiao Zhongheng was lying motionless on the bed, obviously passed out.

It's just that the blood on the corner of his mouth that hasn't been wiped off is so bright red and dazzling.

"Brother! What do you think? Imperial doctor! How is my brother's injury?"

Hearing Xiao Ruan's voice, the imperial physician raised his head from the prescription, with a serious expression on his face: "Lord Xiao has hurt his heart, it's hard to say what's going on now, it depends on how he recovers later."

Hearing this, Xiao Ruan felt his feet go limp and almost fell to the ground.

"Ruan'er, don't worry, the imperial physician just said that the situation is not clear, and didn't say that it can't be cured."

A strong force came from the arm, supporting Xiao Ruan tightly, and a familiar smell came from the tip of the nose.Xiao Ruan unconsciously leaned her whole body on the opponent, and immediately met Huo Xun's concerned eyes when she turned her head.

She wanted to say that Huo Xun was right and that her brother would be fine, but her throat was dry and she couldn't make a sound.

"Ruan'er, think about our children, don't get emotional, I assure you that Zhong Heng will be fine."

The tone of the person opposite was extremely firm, Xiao Ruan took a deep breath and managed to stabilize his figure.

"Madam, don't worry too much, the old man will definitely make every effort to treat Mr. Xiao."

Seeing Xiao Ruan's fear, the imperial physician stopped the brush in his hand and couldn't help but comfort him.

Xiao Ruan carefully scrutinized the expression on the other party's face, until he was sure that the other party was not deceiving him, and then he slowly let go of his high-pitched heart.

"Xiao Zhongheng! I want to see Xiao Zhongheng!"

Anyway, Xiao Ruan was about to walk towards Xiao Zhongheng's bed, when suddenly there was an urgent voice at the door, it was Duanmuyao with gauze wrapped around her head, who came in with the help of a maid.

Seeing Xiao Zhongheng lying on the bed lifelessly, Duanmuyao burst into tears, broke away from the maid's support and rushed over.

"Xiao Zhongheng, wake up, I don't want anything to happen to you! I don't want anything to happen to you!"

She didn't know that tears blurred her eyes, but Duanmuyao didn't see Xiao Ruan was also in the room.

Seeing the blood at the corner of Xiao Zhongheng's mouth, various emotions of distress and guilt intertwined on his face, he hurriedly took out an embroidered handkerchief from his bosom, as if afraid of hurting him, slowly wiped the blood at the corner of his mouth clean.

At this time Xiao Ruan had gradually recovered from the panic just now, seeing Duan Muyao holding Xiao Zhongheng's hand tightly, her eyes full of worry, she wanted to go forward to comfort her, but was stopped by Huo Xun.

For a moment, Xiao Ruan realized instantly, seeing that the imperial physician had written the prescription, he immediately dispersed everyone in the room, leaving only Duanmu Yao in the room.

On the other side, the emperor looked angrily at Master Xu who was in charge of today's horse race, his voice was so cold that people couldn't help trembling slightly.

"Have you found out why Lu Heng's horse suddenly went crazy?"

Master Xu only felt that two holes were almost poked in his head by the emperor's sharp gaze, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and hurriedly explained.

"Return to the emperor, I had a thorough investigation today. Miss Lu's horse was indeed drugged, but the person who drugged it had committed suicide in fear of crime. No one knows if there is a mastermind behind this..."

Hearing this, the emperor's face became even more angry.

"If there is no mastermind, how could the person who gave the medicine commit suicide so quickly! Let me investigate right away! No matter who that person is, we must find out!"

Today's horse race is to entertain Princess Beijiang and the prince, and for such an important event, someone unexpectedly drugged the horse.

Now that Princess Bei Jiang was injured, Taifu Lu's daughter was also injured, and the life and death of his highly regarded ministers were unknown. It was obvious that someone was provoking him!
Not to mention whether Xiao Zhongheng can recover, if this matter spreads to Bei Jiang, some people will inevitably misunderstand him, thinking that Da Jin is not sincere about the marriage and is trying to murder the princess!

Thinking of this, the emperor looked at Master Xu with a colder look: "Block this matter to me, I don't want to hear any unfavorable rumors!"
