The Empress Dowager’s expression changed. “Why did she fall off the horse for no reason?”
The eunuch said with a bitter expression, “I’m not sure either. The imperial physicians are rushing to the horse farm now. Princess Jingning sent someone over and wants to ask if Physician Su is still around. If she is, can we get her to take a look at Princess Hui An!”
After Su Xiaoxiao’s wedding, everyone changed the way they addressed her. However, when they were anxious, they would still revert to calling her Physician Su.
“Empress Dowager, I’ll go take a look.”
“I’ll lead the way for you.”
“No need. Go ahead.”
She was a student at the palace school and knew where the gra.s.s field for riding lessons was.
Su Xiaoxiao arrived faster than the imperial physician.
When the daughters of Palace Academy saw her coming over, all of them looked surprised… except for Guo Lingxi.

She naturally recovered her qualifications to go to school with the two princesses.
The young ladies surrounded her.
Su Xiaoxiao underestimated Guo Lingxi.
Guo Lingxi handed the horse’s reins to the young eunuch behind her and said indifferently, “Why are you looking at me? It’s not me this time!”
Lu Ying whispered, “It’s indeed not Princess Lingxi.”
In fact, Guo Lingxi was late. When she came over, Princess Hui An had already fallen off her horse.
Everyone seemed to want to say something but hesitated.
Su Xiaoxiao looked at Zhao Kangning, who was not far away. Zhao Kangning did not care about a physician who had been called over by the imperial physician, even though this physycian was dressed extraordinarily. The moment Su Xiaoxiao squatted down to check Princess Hui An’s leg injury, Zhao Kangning had already arrogantly looked away.
The palace servants pulled the gauze curtain around Princess Hui An, leaving only her, Princess Jingning, and Su Xiaoxiao among them.
Su Xiaoxiao needed to confirm if Princess Hui An had any fractures first. She pressed her right foot, and Princess Hui An shouted in pain, “Ah…”
“Is it serious?” Princess Jingning asked.
“It’s a sprain. her bones are fine,” Su Xiaoxiao said.
Hearing that her bone was fine, Princess Jingning’s expression eased a little. Su Xiaoxiao continued to check on Princess Hui An and asked Princess Jingning what had happened.
Princess Jingning looked at Princess Hui An indifferently. “Ask her.”
Princess Hui An turned her face away and said nothing.
Su Xiaoxiao paused. “Princess of Northern Yan again?
Princess Hui An said aggrievedly, “She provoked me first.”
The two of them had a grudge in the morning. Princess Hui An thought that they would not see each other in the afternoon, but she saw Zhao Kangning riding alone on the gra.s.sland.
Princess Hui An was not as good at studying as her. How could she lose to her in riding?
Then she went to challenge Zhao Kangning.
Princess Jingning glared at her. “Zhao Kangning’s uncle is the mighty general of Northern Yan. She spends more time in the general’s residence than in the palace. Do you think she’s made of paper? Do you really think you can gain an advantage from the other party with your dilettantish, middling riding skills?”
“I’m not made of paper either!” Just as Princess Hui An finished speaking with righteous indignation, a sharp pain came from her right arm. She screamed and tears welled up.
Su Xiaoxiao said, “It’s dislocated. Princess, bear with it. I’ll reattach it for you.”
Princess Hui An asked fearfully, “Does it hurt? Wait! Let me prepare!”
Su Xiaoxiao held her arm and said, “I’ll count to three.”
Princess Hui An asked weakly, “Can it be dozens of times?”
Su Xiaoxiao rejected her seriously, “No.”
Princess Hui An said pitifully, “Wu… Then… then count slowly…”
“One,”
Crack!
Su Xiaoxiao reset her arm.
Princess Hui An was still waiting for two and three when she was stunned.
It would be a lie to say that it didn’t hurt, but the most painful moment had already pa.s.sed. Princess Hui An was aggrieved and angry. She looked at Su Xiaoxiao resentfully like an injured puppy.
“You said on the count of three…
Su Xiaoxiao said, “Then, shall I remove it for you and count again?”
Princess Hui An trembled. “No!”
Princess Hui An fell off the horse from the right side. Her right arm was dislocated and her right ankle was sprained. This injury was actually not light. This did not mention the large and small bruises on Princess Hui An’s body.
Su Xiaoxiao looked at Princess Hui An and asked, “Princess, your riding skills have always been very good. Why did you fall off the horse?”
Princess Hui An raised her eyebrows and looked at Princess Jingning proudly. “Did you hear that? My riding skills are very good!”
Princess Jingning ignored her stupid sister.
Princess Hui An returned to business. “I don’t know what happened either. The horse suddenly became disobedient.”
Su Xiaoxiao continued, “Was it frightened because you were too close to the
Princess of Northern Yan’s horse?”
It was the same with Guo Lingxi. The two horses almost collided and were both shocked.
“No, I was quite far away from her,” Princess Hui An said with dignity. “But I was about to catch up!”
Princess Jingning recalled, “I was there too. Princess Northern Yan didn’t deliberately shock Hui An’s horse… Hui An’s horse did act up for no reason.”
“I’ll go take a look at the horse.”
“Yes.” Princess Jingning nodded.
“Hey!” Princess Hui An held Su Xiaoxiao’s hand. “Aren’t you going to care about
Su Xiaoxiao nodded and took out a bottle of golden sore medicine and handed it to Princess Hui An. “This is the unique prescription of the Number One Hall. It’s miraculously effective for injuries. The princess will recover in a few days and it won’t leave a scar.”
Was that what she meant?
She did not even have the awareness of a little follower!
“If Princess Hui An doesn’t want it…
“Who said I didn’t want it?” Princess Hui An took the medicine bottle over angrily.
Princess Jingning sent Princess Hui An back to Qixiang Palace while Su Xiaoxiao went to the horse shed to see the horse.
It was very normal. There was nothing unusual, and the feed had not been tampered with.
So, why did the horse suddenly go crazy?
Swish!
A cold arrow shot over.
Su Xiaoxiao grabbed the arrow coldly.
She turned around and looked indifferently at Guo Lingxi, who was holding a bow.
Guo Lingxi smiled wantonly. “Don’t worry, I didn’t want to kill you. Arrows don’t have arrowheads. I was just scaring you.”
Su Xiaoxiao threw the headless arrow. “Is it interesting, Guo Lingxi?”
Guo Lingxi smiled and said, “Of course it’s interesting. If I’m not having a good time, then you guys will have a hard time with me.”
Su Xiaoxiao looked at her coldly. “Did you do it?”
Guo Lingxi sighed. “I wish it was me, but unfortunately, I want Hui An to live more than anyone else. What if the Western Jin envoy doesn’t like me and asks to marry Hui An?”
Su Xiaoxiao said seriously, “Then I’m afraid I’ll have to disappoint you.”
She would never let Princess Hui An marry.
Guo Lingxl was Jealous that su Xiaoxlao married wel ‘I’lng and tnat su Xlaoxrao protected Hui An.
She didn’t know who had a better life, Su Xiaoxiao or Hui An.
She suppressed her anger and said, “I’m not here to argue with you. I’m here to remind you to be careful of the Princess of Northern Yan. Do you know why she’s targeting Hui An? It’s because of Wei Ting.”
“She was going to target me originally, but I’m going to Western Jin to get married. She can’t afford to offend me, so there’s no need to. You’re different.. If you die, won’t the position of Young Madam Wei be empty?”
