Chapter 466: Horse Racing in the Capital

Several days passed in a flash, and it had been more than ten days since the last incident in Jianing Palace.

At that time, Gu Yan said that the situation was urgent and hoped that Prince Yi would not think too long. However, Zhou Chang could not make up his mind and just pretended to be dead.

After discussing with Zhong Yu last time, although Zhou Chang promised Zhong Yu to be friendly with Gu Yanxu, Duke of Xi, he actually always resisted.

In the past two days, Zhou Chang was afraid that Gu Yan would get impatient and come to his house in person, so he strolled out to avoid everyone and bring goods to the customers in the plane.

Last night, the viewpoint system urged and warned again.

Zhou Chang suspected that if she continued like this, she would have to pay the "late payment fees" for the rest of her life.

"Your Highness, you seem to be worried these days?" The skinny monkey said as he put a bunch of small gadgets bought from the store into a large box at the back of the carriage.

"Don't ask, just go shopping. It's still the same old rule, don't buy food first, just buy what's interesting, preferably things that women use more. After you've finished shopping..." Zhou Chang knew what the skinny monkey was thinking. This guy was tired of shopping and just wanted to eat.

But Zhou Chang had no time to think about it now. Ren Gaoyuan was leading the carriage in front, and she was following behind in a daze.

Skinny Monkey had no other choice but to bring up Uncle Qiu again: "Your Highness, the weather is getting colder now, and Uncle Qiu has never been in good health. In fact, his condition has gotten worse in the past two days. Would you like to buy Uncle Qiu a few bottles of medicinal wine later? I see that he hasn't really drunk the medicine, so he probably can't drink it."

"Yeah, why hasn't Uncle Qiu's condition improved?" Zhou Chang knew that Uncle Qiu's condition had not improved.

I just asked Doctor Meng, and he just said that it was because of my depressed mood, and no amount of medicine would work.

"Alas, last time Uncle Qiu learned that Xiao Jiangzi had died, he refused to eat or drink for several days, and I barely let him eat porridge. His health, which had been improving, collapsed again. It's not easy to get him back on his feet now." The skinny monkey said as he fumbled around, "Your Majesty, why don't you buy some more candied sour jujubes for Uncle Qiu? Didn't Doctor Meng say that sour things can whet the appetite?"

"Why did you say it now? Why didn't you mention it then?" Zhou Chang pretended not to hear and walked past a candied fruit shop without going in.

The skinny monkey pouted in disappointment: "What can I do? Uncle Qiu didn't let me tell you at the time. He always felt that Xiao Jiangzi's affairs were his responsibility, and he didn't want to cause trouble for the prince anymore."

Passing by another winery, Zhou Chang recalled what Doctor Meng had said about Uncle Qiu's liver not being in good condition because of his long-term drinking: "If he doesn't take the medicine, does Uncle Qiu still drink now?"

"Alas, I won't drink it anymore..." The skinny monkey felt a little regretful. "Doctor Meng said that Uncle Qiu could drink a little, maybe it would be beneficial to his condition."

"What do you mean?" Zhou Chang was puzzled.

The thin monkey said, "Doctor Meng means that now any method that can make Uncle Qiu feel better can be tried."

"Then let him drink some, maybe he will feel better." Zhou Chang also felt that Uncle Qiu's illness had not been getting better, perhaps it was related to his sudden quitting of drinking.

The skinny monkey pouted again: "I bought some good wine for Uncle Qiu, but he got angry and refused to drink it at all. Sigh..."

"Alas..." Zhou Chang also knew that heart disease needs to be treated with heart medicine, but he had no other choice but to sigh.

Then, we passed by a rouge shop.

Zhou Chang pushed the skinny monkey and said, "Go and have a look inside and buy some rouge boxes, women's accessories, etc."

"The prince asked me to buy these women's things again..." The skinny monkey was unwilling to do so. "Are these things really useful?"

"Is it useless?" Zhou Chang asked back.

The skinny monkey pouted and said, "Then the prince should personally pick a good one to give to the princess. Wasn't the princess the one who gave the huge dividend?"

"Stop talking nonsense, just go as soon as I tell you to." Zhou Chang had no way to refute.

The reason why she lied to Shouhou before and brought Yuan Qi to him in the end made sense.

But Skinny Monkey may not think so, mainly because he is not interested in buying these gadgets.

But Zhou Chang couldn't afford to buy big items with the money he had, and he was afraid of being cheated, so he could only do small things step by step. He pushed the skinny monkey again and said, "Go ahead, buy some more, and then we'll find a place to eat delicious food."

"Oh, okay." After hearing these words, the skinny monkey finally smiled and jumped three feet high to go to the rouge shop.

Just as Zhou Chang watched the skinny monkey go in, he heard the sound of horse hooves roaring from behind him.

Coming from far away, rushing towards us.

"Your Highness, be careful. Someone is coming from behind." Gao Yuan was in the front, with only his right arm holding the carriage to avoid the attack, so he couldn't take care of Zhou Chang.

Zhou Chang didn't even look back, and followed the carriage to the side of the road.

A group of soldiers came close in the blink of an eye and then flashed past.

Zhou Chang couldn't see clearly what was happening around him, but he saw a man in the front of the second group of horsemen coming at him, with a head as big as a pumpkin, galloping past like a gust of wind.

Only King Xian is worthy of such a big head.

Xian Wang Feng Zheng was not wearing a helmet or armor. He was dressed in casual clothes and riding on a large black-maned horse. A dozen guards behind him also passed by him like a gust of wind.

Before Zhou Chang could stand firmly, the sound of "thump thump thump..." came immediately as the last group of horsemen galloped past, raising a cloud of dust.

There were three groups, one leading the way and the other guarding the rear. King Xian's show was really grand.

This caused passers-by to dodge and exclaim.

"Cough cough..." Zhou Chang coughed for a while, and when she straightened up, she found that a vendor's stall not far away had been knocked over by a fallen passerby. There were many people like her who were covering their noses and mouths and coughing non-stop.

"Your Highness, are you okay?" Gao Yuan steadied the carriage with one arm and turned to ask Zhou Chang.

"Did something happen?" Zhou Chang asked in shock.

It's not like there's going to be another war, but that shouldn't be the case, right?

"Pah..., what could possibly happen?" The owner of the shop next door also looked unhappy and spat a mouthful of gray phlegm on the ground. "It's just that Prince Xian went to the palace again. It's always like this. I don't know how many stalls have been overturned."

Zhou Chang frowned: "Why is there such a big fuss just entering the palace?"

Everyone around kept silent. Apparently, this kind of thing was not uncommon.

Everyone is just angry but dare not speak out.

Even the boss who had just said something felt offended and turned around and hid back in his own shop.

Zhou Chang couldn't help but think of what Zhong Yu had said to her in the past few days.

Ever since Zhong Yu knew about the Jianing Palace incident, he had been repeatedly planning for Prince Yi, and whenever he had the chance, he would persuade Zhou Chang: "Prince Rong appears to be a kind and noble man, but it is unknown what he is like behind the scenes. Although he does not have the help of his mother's relatives, he still has his wife's family and his cliques in the court. It is not easy for the Gu family to control him. And Prince Xian is a man who likes to show off and has his own army. No matter what he is like behind the scenes, he is difficult to control on the surface and is definitely not a good person. Regardless of the Gu family's plan, no matter who these two are, it will be a blessing for the world if they ascend to that position?"

Yes, it’s hard to say about Prince Rong.

But now King Xian is actually riding a horse in the capital, not caring about the lives of the people. He is so arrogant that he is really not fit to be a king.
