Jiang Ning has been studying the medicine to treat the Fourth Prince since she returned from Qingxin Teahouse.
The poison inside the Fourth prince is peculiar. It had invaded his internal organs. Ordinary prescriptions could not cure the poison at all. It would even have the opposite effect causing the poison to flare and can lead to death.
In the past few days, she has been reading ancient medical techniques while simultaneously developing prescriptions.
Finally, she settled on a few recipes that are worth trying.
Making medicine requires rare medicinal materials, so naturally she would use her own money to help the Fourth Prince.
She made a long list and prepared to send it to Qingxin Tea House, so that the Fourth Prince could prepare the ingredients himself.
Jiang Ning folded the paper and put it away, and got ready to go out, and called Shuangyue.
Shuangyue appeared, "Miss, are you going out?"
"Mm." Jiang Ning hummed, and her peripheral vision fell on the whip held by Shuang Yue. This whip seemed a bit familiar.
Shuangyue realized, and raised the whip with both hands, and said, "The young master of the Jin family threw this in the grass, and I picked it up. The material of this whip is rare rough leather. It is light and sturdy, and it is easy to use."
Jiang Ning was silent for a while. It was not good to use other people's things without permission.
Even if it was something Jin Jingxiu threw himself, there is no assurance that if he saw it he wouldn't turn around and make trouble.
"Shuangyue, I will find a good whip for you later, and let us give this back to Jin Jingxiu."
Shuangyue immediately waved her hand and hurriedly explained, "I never thought about taking it as my own. I just saw this whip thrown in the grass and picked it up..."
How could she use other people's things?
Jiang Ning didn't say much and took the whip, thinking that she would drop it off at the Jin family's silk shop and let Jin Weilan take it away when she had time and return it to its original owner.
The carriage stopped at the gate of the Marquis Mansion.
Jiang Ning got on the carriage and told the driver to go to Qingxin Teahouse.
The carriage swayed as it moved.
In the carriage, Jiang Ning tried to swing the whip. The whip was really easy to use, light yet sturdy. Although Jin Jingxiu didn't know martial arts, the things he bought were all top quality.
It would be a waste of money to throw away such a good whip.
She shook her head.
The carriage drove to the lively streets, and the sounds of the busy city could be vaguely heard.
Not only the lively shouts of the vendors, but also other noisy sounds.
Suddenly, cries of alarm erupted.
"Quick report! Quick report! Get out of the way!" A soldier in armor, with a red flag on his back, rode fast on horseback, shouting loudly all the way.
"Quick report! Quick report!"
When the people saw that they were soldiers delivering urgent information, they hurriedly scattered in panic.
The streets were in chaos.
The carriage Jiang Ning was riding in had to step aside and wait for the soldiers on horseback to pass by first. Now with the common people crowding around in disorder, even if they wanted to drive the carriage carriage away, there was nowhere to go.
Jiang Ning opened the curtain and looked out curiously, "What happened?"
"It seems that a soldier was delivering urgent information." Yu Er replied.
"Deliver urgent information?"
Jiang Ning couldn't help frowning and thinking deeply.
She remembered something. A big event happened in her previous life. Calculating the time, it should be in the past few days.
Floods in Hezhou caused people to live in dire straits. After the emperor learned of the incident, he sent the Crown Prince to provide disaster relief.
"It's a flood..."
"Miss, what did you say?" Yu Er looked at Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning shook her head, "Nothing, just mumbling to myself."
Yu Er couldn't help but muttered. He seemed to have heard the lady talking about a flood. It had been calm recently and there was no big news. The soldiers suddenly sent an urgent message. Something big must have happened.
The soldiers rode past without slowing down.
The people hurriedly gave way for fear of being trampled by the horses.
Not far from the corner of the street, Jin Weilan pulled Jin Jingxiu forward, "Can you be more serious on going shopping with me? It's been an hour, and you haven't said a word. You're like a piece of wood!"
Jin Weilan forced Jin Jingxiu to go out, thinking that if he went out for a walk, his dull mood would be better.
But Jin Jingxiu didn't get better at all. His face was dull and his eyes were lifeless, like a puppet that had lost its soul. No matter how much Jin Weilan chattered on the side, there was no response.
Jin Weilan's cheeks were puffed up in anger, "Can you say something back to me!"
"Humph, I'll ignore you!" She turned around angrily and stopped looking at Jin Jingxiu. She would just let him be. She didn't want to waste energy on him!
Jin Jingxiu didn't respond, he was completely absent minded.
Jin Weilan stopped and turned around angrily. But he did not notice and kept walking forward step by step.
"Quickly get out of the way! Quick report! Quick report!" A cold shout came.
The people hurriedly evaded and quickly gave way to clear a path.
On the empty road, there was only a soulless man walking past step by step, as if he was completely unaware of the surrounding atmosphere.
"Hey! Get out of the way! Don't get hit!"
"Get out of the way!" Everyone exclaimed when they saw this scene.
Jin Weilan looked back when she heard the shouting. At this glance, her face turned pale with fright, and she instantly lost all color.
"Elder brother!"
Jin Jingxiu had already reached the middle of the road. He was completely distraught. He couldn't hear anything and couldn't see anyone.
Not far behind him, soldiers were riding horses and running, at full speed not slowing down.
"Get out of the way!" the soldier yelled.
In a few breaths, the horses charged in front of Jin Jingxiu and were about to trample him.
"Elder brother, no!" Jin Weilan shouted heartbreakingly, running over to try to bring Jin Jingxiu back, but it was already too late, there was no time.
At this moment——
A whip was waved, the wind howled, and it accurately wrapped around Jin Jingxiu's waist, yanking him back forcefully.
In just a few steps, Jin Jingxiu would be trampled under the horse's hooves.
His body flew high into the air and landed on the carriage with a bang.
On the carriage, a woman with a bright face was holding a whip. She was the one who wielded the whip just now.
People looked up in awe, she was truly a bright girl, like the bright moon in the sky, waving her whip in a heroic manner, and she took action to save a life.
The person who wielded the whip was Jiang Ning.
When Jiang Ning looked curiously at the street, she saw someone about to be trampled by horse hooves.
She immediately grasped the whip and swung it.
She studied kung fu with Shuang Yue for a while. In addition to qinggong, she also learned how to use bows, crossbows and a whips.
When she rescued the person, she realized that they were enemies, and the person who she rescued was actually Jin Jingxiu.
She couldn't help but frown.
Jin Jingxiu was lying on the carriage, with a bright woman's face shining in front of his eyes. There was a halo of light around the woman's body, making her face look like an immortal.
"Are you okay?" Jiang Ning asked irritably, squatting down, grabbing Jin Jingxiu's hand and checking his pulse.
There doesn't seem to be any big problem with the pulse.
Jin Jingxiu looked at Jiang Ning blankly, his eyes focused on her face.
At this time, Jin Weilan came over panting, her face pale, "That's great...Fortunately everything is fine..."
"A'ning, thank you, thank you for saving my brother!"
Jin Weilan burst into tears of gratitude. If Jiang Ning hadn't taken action in time, her brother would have been trampled to death by the horses.
