Chapter 1156: Chapter 1068: It’s Me!
Unfortunately, the carriage was moving too fast; people only had time to see it rushing past without a clear view of the situation on board.
"Shut up! Keep barking and I’ll throw you off,"
Su Pan’er quickly drove the carriage, scolding the noisy rascal pig.
True to its name, the rascal pig calmed down for only a moment before its crying grew even louder!
"Piggy knew it, knew it, huh huh huh... You just want to abandon me after crossing the river, disregarding all the good Piggy has done for you, running in and out all day without rest. Look, look, Piggy has recently lost so much weight, so pitiful..."
Fat enough to roll instead of walking, yet claiming to have lost weight. Su Pan’er, anxious to get on the road, immediately burst into laughter!
"Scram!"
"Really, really, Piggy has indeed lost a lot of weight, really, touch me and see, just touch..."
The pig’s wails faintly carried on, fading into the air as the carriage moved further away.
Qin Yi was so anxious he was getting blisters on his mouth.
With a burning urgency, he wished he could rush out himself and catch that infuriating little woman for a good thrashing!
In such a critical situation, she had unexpectedly run off alone.
Looking at Jiu Lan, who had collapsed to her knees, rigid and straight, Qin Yi felt like having her executed right then and there.
"Speak! Where did the Empress go? I entrusted the Empress’s safety to you, and this is how you repay My trust and expectations? Speak, report everything you know in detail without omission. Should you dare to conceal anything, I’ll see that you have no place to be buried when you die!"
Just two cups of tea time earlier, Jiu Lan was found by people Qin Yi had sent out. When they located her, she was standing alone on South Street, and even tried to resist and escape when being taken away.
Biting her teeth, Jiu Lan hastily prostrated herself, "Your servant reports to His Majesty, I truly do not know where the Empress has gone. The Empress told your servant to wait there while she went to the toilet and would be back shortly. Your servant originally intended to follow, but the Empress insisted that someone needed to watch over the carriage and left your servant outside. When your servant realized something was amiss and rushed in to search, there wasn’t a soul in the toilet. Your servant was about to return to report when I found the letter the Empress left your servant in the carriage. So... so..."
Jiu Lan bit her lip in frustration, glancing up briefly at His Majesty before quickly lowering her head again.
"Where is the letter?"
"Here with your servant."
Jiu Lan hurriedly presented the letter.
Qin Yi took the letter, glanced over it, and felt his anger surge even more!
"Damnable!"
Jiu Lan shuddered uncontrollably, uncertain whether His Majesty was cursing her or someone else.
"Keep searching! We must find the Empress, and quickly!"
As Qin Yi erupted with fury, Su Pan’er had already passed the city gate, crossing East City Gate and racing down the wide East Street towards Imperial Street. The sky had gradually darkened, snowflakes danced more densely in the sky, and the people on the street bustled about as usual despite the hour.
Just as Su Pan’er’s carriage was about to reach Imperial Street, a commotion erupted up ahead. A frenzied horse charged recklessly, bumping into several pedestrians along its path, and headed straight for Su Pan’er’s carriage!
The horse charged fiercely; Su Pan’er attempted to steer her horses away, but the mad horse was too close and she couldn’t avoid the collision.
Grinding her teeth, Su Pan’er pulled on the reins with all her might, helpless as the disaster unfolded before her eyes with just one thought in her mind—to fight back!
She reached up to her head, pulled out her hairpin, channeled her Inner Strength into it, and hurled it towards the mad horse’s front leg!
The hairpin turned into a flash of lightning, arriving instantly, and struck the horse’s leg.
The crazed horse screamed in agony, its front legs bending as its momentum not only maintained but increased, crashing into the carriage...
Su Pan’er’s eyes widened as she felt her vision blur...
The horse that was on a collision course with the carriage veered sharply sideways by two inches at the last second, its head grazing the side of the carriage as it leapt past, still neighing loudly. The powerful inertia propelled it forward, causing it to smash headfirst into a stone pillar across the street, its head bursting open and blood and brain matter splattering everywhere.
"Wow! That was close..."
"My God! What on earth happened, why did that horse suddenly go mad? It’s terrifying!"
"Look, look, that mad horse’s limbs are really strong. The owner of this carriage is truly lucky, narrowly escaping disaster. The situation just now was too horrifying..."
Passersby on the street were buzzing with comments, pointing at the carriage that had narrowly avoided calamity, unanimously praising the person on it for their good fortune.
But Su Pan’er didn’t feel lucky at all!
Only she knew that she had just entered the hall of the King of Hell and made a large loop around the Gates of Hell!
Although she had fortunately survived, the pain from the reins digging into the flesh of her palm was a constant reminder of the danger she had just faced.
"That horse’s symptoms were clearly not right; its eyes told me it was in great pain, which is why it went berserk!"
Rascal Pig suddenly jumped onto her thigh, wagging its little tail, and for once spoke to Su Pan’er in such a serious tone.
"Was it you who saved me?"
Su Pan’er asked this with certainty.
What had happened was too sudden. She had tried her best to control her own horse, but she also knew that even if she had managed to keep her horse under control, she would have inevitably collided with the crazed horse. The outcome, however, would have been much better compared to the death and destruction that could have occurred. Unexpectedly, her vision blurred, and the crazed horse had abruptly jerked two inches to the side!
Those two inches were definitely beyond the capability of ordinary people!
"You are a woman under the protection of this rascal pig, and without this grandpa pig’s permission, no one dares to harm you. Hmph hmph hmph!"
Rascal Pig hummed proudly.
Its snout was raised so high, full of pride.
Su Pan’er couldn’t help but laugh: "Okay, this time, I owe you one! Let’s go, let’s return to the palace!"
Su Pan’er had originally planned to pick up Jiu Lan and return to the palace, but after some thought, she changed her mind and headed straight toward the palace gate.
Since even Rascal Pig could notice that something was off with the mad horse, how could she not see it for herself?
Although she was currently in disguise, not even Qin Yi would necessarily recognize her if he stood before her. Yet, someone still launched such a lethal attack on her, raising suspicious points that merited deep reflection.
Upon further consideration, she had only revealed her identity in front of Jun Ruoxue after leaving the palace.
As these thoughts crossed her mind, Su Pan’er’s expression grew graver. She couldn’t believe she had inadvertently played the role of Mr. Dongguo.
Though it would take a long time to explain, from the moment when the crazed horse fell to the ground to when the bystanders gathered around, Su Pan’er had already raised her horsewhip high, lashing it forcefully onto the horse’s rump, and charged down Imperial Street.
On Imperial Street, Lord Zhang had already been waiting nearby with his men.
As soon as they heard of the commotion, they had swiftly converged on the scene. When they saw Su Pan’er driving the carriage onto Imperial Street, the Imperial Guard began loudly challenging.
"Who goes there? Quickly state your name!"
Su Pan’er pulled on the reins, looked up at Lord Zhang who was being guarded by the Imperial Guard, and called out, "It’s me!"
