Chapter 125: Death
Early in the morning, His Royal Highness Prince Yi's guard of honor was in full swing, escorted by hundreds of imperial guards, and they marched out of the north gate of Jiangning Prefecture, heading all the way to the capital.
At the same time, two simple-looking green-covered horse-drawn carriages, escorted by more than a dozen people, left Shuanglin Village in a low-key manner and headed towards the capital.
After the carriage drove out of Jiangning Prefecture, Yun Fuling lifted the curtain and breathed a sigh of relief.
She smiled at Xiao Jingyi and said, "Your idea is good. If we split the troops into two groups, the attention of the main force will be diverted. Then we can take it easy and have fun while walking back to the capital."
Xiao Jingyi was impatient to deal with various officials along the way, and also for his own safety considerations, he came up with this idea.
With the prince's procession following behind to attract attention, they could save themselves a lot of trouble by going ahead in a low-key manner.
Yun Fuling had been sitting in the carriage for the entire morning and her waist was sore.
She said to Xiao Jingyi: "I want to ride a horse."
Xiao Jingyi immediately asked someone to bring a horse, and the two of them rode together.
It was just the beginning of autumn, the mountains and forests were all dyed in color, and the autumn breeze was blowing, bringing a cool breeze.
Yun Fuling's mood became more cheerful as she rode on the horse.
Taking advantage of the opportunity to go out, Yun Fuling simply asked Xiao Jingyi to teach her how to ride a horse.
She had always wanted to learn how to ride a horse, but she never had the chance.
In this era, learning to ride a horse is equivalent to getting a driver's license in later generations.
When she encountered the assassin before, if she knew how to ride a horse, she could have cut the reins and escaped on horseback, and she would not have been hit by the sword.
Therefore, Yun Fuling felt that the skill of horse riding must be mastered.
Under Xiao Jingyi's personal instruction, Yun Fuling was able to ride a horse independently in just three days.
Tianquan couldn't help but whisper to Yaoguang: "The princess is really smart. She can learn to ride a horse so quickly!"
After some guidance from Kang Mingyuan, Boss Wu and the other two became more active.
They have become familiar with the guards these days, so when they are free, they ask them for advice, or learn a few self-defense techniques, or learn how to ride a horse.
Yun Jingmo also envied his parents for being able to ride horses, but he was still young, so Xiao Jingyi usually took him on a ride for a while to satisfy his desire.
After a few years when he is older, he will formally learn to ride a horse.
Xiao Jingyi also promised to give him a pony when the time comes.
Yun Jingmo was very happy when he heard that he would have a pony in the future.
The group of people walked along the way leisurely as if they were on a picnic.
That day, Yun Fuling and his group arrived at Jinzhou.
Jinzhou is located at a port with convenient transportation links and has been a prosperous place since ancient times.
Yun Fuling was riding a horse, so she dressed like a man.
After entering Jinzhou City, she felt as if her two eyes were not enough.
All the prefectures and counties she had seen along the way were not more prosperous than Jinzhou Prefecture.
There were rows of shops on both sides of the city, and the pedestrians passing by were dressed much better. Yun Fuling even saw imported goods such as perfume glass mirrors.
However, these imported products are displayed to attract customers and are very expensive.
Yun Fuling also heard that the Great Qi Dynasty had only opened up maritime trade in recent years and encouraged overseas merchants to trade with the Great Qi Dynasty.
Although maritime trade is very risky, the profits are also amazing.
Anyone who is able to get involved has a background that cannot be underestimated.
Yun Fuling felt that the opening of maritime trade in the Great Qi Dynasty showed that the emperor of the time was very far-sighted and intelligent.
Xiao Jingyi and Yun Fuling said, "You must be tired after traveling for the past few days. Let's rest in Jinzhou for a few days, and then it won't be too late to set off again."
"This Jinzhou Prefecture is very prosperous and worth a visit."
After saying that, Xiao Jingyi ordered Tian Quan to book an inn.
They were all pretending to be traveling merchants along the way, and in order not to reveal their identities, they did not stay at any post station.
Tianquan immediately went ahead to make arrangements.
Tian Quan booked the best inn in the city and directly reserved an entire courtyard.
After washing up, having lunch and taking a short rest, Yun Fuling went shopping with great interest.
Although this era is inferior to later generations in some aspects, it also has its own advantages.
For example, many handicrafts are so exquisitely made that they cannot be matched by later generations.
Yun Fuling went shopping as she went along, and the joy of shopping was simply indescribable.
She was enjoying her stroll when she suddenly noticed a crowd in front of her, and it seemed to be very lively.
Yun Fuling was curious and went forward to take a look.
But I saw a stretcher on the ground, covered with a white cloth, and the thing under the white cloth looked like a person.
Seven or eight burly men holding wooden sticks were quarreling in front of a clinic.
"Hurry up and let your young lady come out!"
"Your young lady cured my old lady to death. You must give us an explanation for this!"
"That's right, otherwise this matter will never end!"
"Your family will be sued!"
After a while, a tall and thin girl with a beautiful face walked out of the shop.
The girl had stern features and although she was thin, she showed no fear.
"Hu San, stop slandering me!"
"Your mother came to my clinic yesterday. She had sores in her mouth and tongue, excessive internal heat, and difficulty sleeping. It wasn't a serious illness. I did prescribe a prescription for her to clear internal heat."
"The pulse history and prescription are all recorded. No matter how you take the prescription, it is impossible for it to kill you."
"You can take the prescription to various clinics to ask for advice. Even if you have to confront me at the government office, I am not afraid!"
After the girl finished speaking, she bowed to everyone and said, "Everyone, my clinic has been open for decades. Has anyone ever died from it?"
"This Hu Fen is clearly slandering and framing me."
"If any of you know medicine, you will know that I am telling the truth."
As she spoke, the girl eloquently described the pulse diagnosis and the prescription she had previously written.
Yun Fuling stood in the crowd and listened. The prescription written by the girl was indeed suitable for the disease, and the medicinal properties of the prescription were mild. Although the effect was slow, it was just as she said, it was impossible to kill people.
Looking at the girl and the people behind her, although they looked angry, they also seemed quite confident.
The leader of the group of burly men, a man called Hu San, had a shifty look and did not look like a good guy.
Yun Fuling felt that there was something fishy going on.
The crowd watching was also talking about it at this time.
"Miss Li, is she being blackmailed?"
"A few days ago, the young master of the Wan family wanted to take her in as his concubine, but she refused. The young master of the Wan family lost face, and the next day Hu San came to cause trouble. How could there be no connection between them?"
"Yes, this Hu San is a rogue who spends his days eating, drinking, whoring and gambling, and doesn't care about his mother at all. How come he suddenly has filial piety and is eager to bring his mother to the clinic for treatment?"
"Who would believe this if there wasn't something fishy going on?"
"You can't say that. That's a real life!"
