The sudden change made Wen shake her mind. She wanted to ride her horse to catch up, but her riding skills were poor.

Not only did the foal not move at all, but it effortlessly threw her off.

Ignoring the pain, Wen Yao got up from the ground and ran wildly, trying to catch up with Xu Rongrong.

But...how is this possible?

In her anxiety, a black shadow flashed past her.

It's Muai.

Several news came from the capital today, all about the East Palace and Duke Ning's Mansion. News also came out from the palace, and Concubine Shu also began to take action.

Several things were piled up together, and Mu Rong had no time to do anything else.

After knowing that Xu Rongrong was coming to the farm, he thought for a moment and finally decided to let Mu Ai protect her in secret.

After receiving the order from his Marquis, Mu Ai followed him from a distance.

Because of this, when this change happened so suddenly, he had no time to take action and watched Xu Rongrong being galloped away by the violent horse.

He hurriedly rode his horse to catch up. When he passed by Wen Yao, he could only shout four words: "Go find the Marquis!"

In this way, the two horses, one behind the other, galloped towards Lieshan and soon disappeared.

Wen Yao gritted his teeth and limped towards the village house.

Xu Rongrong's horse galloped wildly and soon reached the foot of Mount Lie.

The dark mountains did not deter it. It snorted and roared, leaping up the mountain road and roaring through the forest.

The road in the forest was bumpy and bumpy, making Xu Rongrong dizzy.

The horse riding essentials that I had memorized before were now forgotten.

The dead branches flying by in the forest made her unable to open her eyes. She leaned down and hugged the horse's neck tightly, but no sound came out of her mouth.

After an unknown amount of time, the horse beneath him finally ran out of energy.

It roared loudly, knelt down suddenly with its front hooves, and the huge inertia threw Xu Rongrong away.

Severe pain struck, and Xu Rongrong fainted.

……

When I woke up again, it was completely dark.

Night is coming.

Xu Rongrong stood up and moved his hands and feet. Maybe it was because he wore too many clothes in the winter. Except for some scratches and bruises on his exposed arms, the rest was not serious.

Even so, it made her gasp slightly in pain.

She gritted her teeth, supported her body with her right hand, and stood up slowly while holding on to the tree beside her.

He walked a few steps forward without knowing the direction, and faintly saw a huge shadow lying motionless on the ground not far away. It must be the body of the horse.

She walked over slowly, and saw the horse's body lying among the branches and leaves, with dark red blood spilling from its mouth, exuding a disgusting stench.

Xu Rongrong sniffed it twice and then covered his mouth and nose - it must have died of poisoning.

Recalling what happened just now, Xu Rongrong's eyes dimmed: It's so good, when was it poisoned?

This horse was chosen by Mu Rong for her, so there would be no problem with it. In addition, she had ridden it once before when Mu Rong took her out to hunt deer. It was docile and well-behaved and suited her temperament.

When I came out of the house today, it was the horse that Mrs. Xiao had harnessed. When it was led out, it was as docile as usual, without any abnormalities.

When it reached the field ridge, although it was a little happy, it also obeyed her instructions and did not look like it was poisoned.

What happened was that just when she was about to turn the horse back to Zhuangzi, it suddenly behaved strangely.

But at that time, there was no one around her except Wen Yao. How did it get poisoned?

Xu Rongrong picked up some dry branches and weeds from nearby, tied them into a torch, and then took out the torch and lit it.

Then, holding back her nausea, she held a torch around the body of the little white horse and examined it carefully.

Finally, a small wound was found on the back of the horse, near its tail.

It looked like it was shot with a slender hidden weapon like a sleeve arrow.

It's artificial!

Someone is going to kill her!

Xu Rongrong quickly put out the torch.

No matter who it is, they must be looking for her whereabouts at this moment. It is not suitable to stay here for a long time.

What's more, if the horse corpse is here, it will definitely attract hungry wolves or beasts that have been unable to find food for a long time.

So, she took advantage of the moonlight and groped her way down the mountain.

No one had been seen on Lieshan Mountain for a long time, and the ground was covered with dead leaves. It was very difficult for her to walk through the forest with one foot deep and one foot shallow.

It wasn't until a thin layer of sweat formed on her forehead that she stopped and took a break.

She thought she had walked far away, but when she looked back, she realized that the place she was just now was still vaguely visible.

Xu Rongrong: "..."

It seems that it is not easy to go down the mountain quickly.

It's late at night and it's about to get cold. Winter nights in the mountains can be freezing to death.

She found a sheltered place from the wind, wrapped herself in her cloak, and pulled at the dead branches and leaves on the ground, trying to make a temporary hiding place for herself.

But as soon as she finished pulling the branches and leaves in front of her, she was stunned.

Without the obstruction of dead branches and leaves, she could clearly see the clusters of downy red exposed on the ground...

She was ecstatic.

But it’s also a bit unbelievable!

She leaned down and compared the red in front of her eyes with the records in the book in her memory.

Finally, she was about to shed tears of excitement:

Yu Hong, I finally found you!

What a cold moment!What a beast!What a hungry wolf!

They were all forgotten by her.

She crawled on the ground and used her nails to pry up the fluffy turf on the ground bit by bit. Then... she tore off a whole piece and carefully put it into the medicine bag.

Then, continue...

……

When Mu Rong came running wildly along the tracks of the horses.

What I saw was Xu Rongrong's selfless look.

The medicine pouch on her waist was already full, and it was so bulging that it could no longer hold anything.

So she took off her cloak, spread it on the ground, opened new dead branches, and dug at the red grass underneath.

When Mu Rong saw this scene, his uncontrollable heart fell back into his chest. He was anxious and angry: "Can't you just stay in the house? Do you know that you are going to scare me to death!"

Xu Rongrong ignored him and continued with some mechanical movements.

"Rong Rong..." Mu Rong shouted twice more.

Finally, he realized something was wrong and pulled Xu Rongrong up.

The girl's face was already red from the cold, and her body had become a little agitated. What frightened him even more was that her eyes...

Full of confusion and disarray.

"Rong Rong! What's wrong with you!" Mu Rong called her desperately, but the girl seemed not to hear him.

The heart that originally fell back into his chest lifted up again, and he hugged Xu Rongrong tightly in his arms: "I won't talk about you anymore, Rongrong, don't scare me."

Normally, she would have started to resist.

But now, he is extremely well-behaved.

Mu Rong's heart fell to the bottom again in an instant.

Looking at the girl's blank face, he hurriedly took off his cloak and wrapped her tightly.

Then, he picked her up and ran down the mountain.

The girl's fair face was buried in her cloak, her eyes still empty.
