The Concubine's Biography of the Concubine Seizing the Palace

"Not long after entering the forest, my sister chased after the sika deer. My sister wanted to chase the sheep, but someone shot an arrow and forced my sister to follow her!" Wei Ning'er said in a low voice. 【 】

"This..." Concubine Jia couldn't believe it.

"Sister, did you notice that there was something unusual about the sika deer? Ordinary animals, being chased by people, must have fled in all directions in a panic, but the sika deer has been running towards this direction without any haste, and now it suddenly disappeared!" Wei Ning'er said. After a slight pause, he raised his head and looked around.

The bushes here are low, but extremely dense, and the weeds are overgrown, almost reaching their feet. You must know that they are riding on horseback.

"Sister, since you noticed something strange, why didn't you call me just now?" Concubine Jia also felt that something was wrong, especially as it was getting late and the surroundings could not be seen clearly, she was even more worried.

"Just now, my sister was all focused on that sika deer. My sister called me a few times, but my sister didn't stop, so my sister had to chase after me!" Wei Ning'er said helplessly.

"I always feel that this place is eerie, sister, let's go back quickly!" Concubine Jia rode her horse back after saying that.

At this moment, the horse she was riding neighed, and it didn't listen to her command and retreated.

Wei Ning'er took a closer look, froze for a moment, and shouted: "There are snakes, poisonous snakes, there are a lot of them, hurry up!"

"Ah—." Concubine Jia also saw the snakes approaching in front of her, couldn't help shivering, screamed, turned her horse's head and ran after Wei Ning'er.

Their retreat was already blocked, and they could only run forward at this time, Wei Ning'er gradually realized that she and Concubine Jia had fallen into a trap.

There may be something more terrifying waiting for them ahead.

In order to avoid those poisonous snakes, the two whipped their horsewhips with all their strength, and ran forward desperately. When they realized that they had shaken off the snakes behind them, they didn't know where they were.

"We're lost!" Concubine Jia took out the map of the paddock on her body, and looked at them for a while under the moonlight, but she didn't know where they were.

"My sister has been to the paddock many times, but do you remember whether we are outside the paddock?" Wei Ning'er asked after taking a deep breath.

Concubine Jia shook her head: "Although I have come with the emperor many times, but... I have never run so far! It is dark, and the surroundings are not clear, and I am not sure, but Mulan's paddock is a bit scary. After running for a while, it is not possible to leave the paddock, not to mention that in order to allow the beasts in the paddock to thrive and not be wiped out, the emperor chooses a place to fence every year. When we reach the edge, we will definitely see The Eight Banners soldiers in charge of guarding the paddock."

Wei Ning'er breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the words: "That's good, what happened today is too strange, in order to prevent any changes, let's move forward quickly!"

"The only one who has the ability to set us a trap is Concubine Xian. I didn't expect that she would be so vicious. If I don't agree to cooperate with her, she will kill me!" Concubine Jia said angrily.

Wei Ning'er didn't answer, she rode forward slowly, hunting today, although the horses they were riding were strong, they couldn't stand this kind of tossing, at this moment, the horses were already tired and hungry.

"Sister Ling, I think the horse is too tired. There is a small hill ahead with no trees and a lot of grass. Let's rest for a while!" Concubine Jia pointed to the front and said.

"Just follow my sister's words!" Wei Ning'er nodded slightly, they had no other choice at the moment, if they got tired and the horse fell down, they would be even more dangerous.

Outside the dense forest, the emperor was looking gloomyly at Concubine Xian who was kneeling on the ground, and said after a while, "Why didn't you send someone to report to me earlier?"

Concubine Xian trembled all over, and then said in a trembling voice: "The emperor calmed down, it was the negligence of the concubine, I thought that the two younger sisters entered the forest not long ago, and they would come out in a short time, and I expected..."

The emperor waved his hand impatiently and shouted: "Enough!"

"Your Majesty, please appease your anger!" Wu Shulai trembled.

"Come here, pass on my order, order all the soldiers of the Eight Banners to immediately surround this dense forest and look for the concubine Jia and the concubine!" the emperor shouted loudly.

"Yes!" Wu Shulai replied and ordered the people around him to deliver the decree.

"Fu Heng, E Ning, follow me into the dense forest!" The emperor flew on his horse after saying that.

"Your Majesty, let's wait for the leaders to bring people before going in!" Wu Shulai said with some worry.

"No need!" The emperor has already rode his horse in. There are thousands of personal guards around the emperor. This is the royal hunting ground, and there are generals of the Eight Banners everywhere, but there are hidden dangers.

Fu Heng and E Ning followed closely beside the emperor, their faces were full of solemn expressions, especially Fu Heng, who was even more worried. Although he deliberately tried to forget the past in recent days, when he heard that Wei Ning'er had disappeared, His heart suddenly lifted up.

"Fu Heng, I will follow the emperor to protect the emperor, do you look around for anything suspicious?" E Ning said and leaned towards the emperor.

Fu Heng immediately ordered the people around him to ride horses and scatters to investigate. After a while, everyone heard screams.

"Where is the sound coming from?" The emperor immediately stopped his horse and shouted loudly.

"Report to the emperor, a trap was found ahead, and someone fell down with a man and a horse, and there were dozens of poisonous snakes in the trap." Fu Heng rode his horse over and reported.

"Trap!" The emperor froze for a moment, and then shouted, "How can there be a trap in the paddock? What's the matter?"

"Emperor... Your Majesty..." Hearing this, the officials in charge of the paddock fell off their horses in fright, and crawled in front of the emperor.

"I ask you, where did the traps and poisonous snakes come from?" The emperor was furious.

"Slave... I don't know, I don't know. Your Majesty knows that, when I set up the enclosure, I and others searched all over the enclosure, and they didn't find any traps or poisonous snakes!" The steward trembled with fright.

"Useless slave, someone is here, pull him down!" The emperor was already furious at this moment.

"Your Majesty, please calm down, it is important to find the two empresses!" Wu Shulai said respectfully.

Only then did the emperor order everyone to move forward, but this time they had to be more careful and their speed slowed down.

……

On the hillside, Concubine Jia and Wei Ning'er wanted to get on the horse and continue walking after the horse had eaten enough grass.

"Sister Lingfei, let's go forward. If we can't find anyone, we will look in another direction." Concubine Jia is not sure if they ran out of the paddock, not afraid of ten thousand but just in case. The paddock, if you move forward all the way, you don't know where you are going.

"En!" Wei Ning'er nodded slightly, and was about to get on the horse, when a strange voice sounded in her ear.

"What sound?" Wei Ning'er was startled, then glanced around, but found nothing unusual.

"What happened?" Concubine Jia was frightened by the poisonous snake just now.

Why not, Wei Ning'er was afraid that something terrible would appear again, so she stood there quietly and looked around, but the night was too dark, even with the help of moonlight, she couldn't see clearly.

At this moment, Concubine Jia shook her hand and pointed to the front, shouting sharply: "There, there!"

"What?" Wei Ning'er was terrified by her, but she still forced herself to calm down and look around, but she didn't find anything.

"It's right there...Look quickly..." Concubine Jia changed hands again.

This time even Wei Ning'er saw a black shadow, she didn't know if it was a human or a beast, if it was a beast, it would be better, but if it was a human, they would be in danger.

The black shadow flickered extremely fast, it flashed into the bushes in the blink of an eye, and came out again in a moment.

"Yes...it's a beast, there's more than one!" Concubine Jia gasped.

"Get on the horse!" Wei Ning'er also saw it, but she didn't know what kind of beast it was. Not only was it extremely fast, it could even jump on trees.

The two rode their horses and ran forward, but the wild beasts chased them, jumping on the trees all the time.

"Is it a monkey?" Concubine Jia shouted.

If it was really a monkey, then it wouldn't be scary. Monkeys never hurt people.

"No!" Wei Ning'er was sure, although she couldn't see it clearly, but the black shadow flickered extremely fast, and it wasn't the shape of a monkey.

"They're catching up! Run!" Concubine Jia looked back, and immediately yelled loudly.

Wei Ning'er turned her head when she heard the words, and suddenly gasped, she didn't know what kind of beasts they were, they jumped down from the trees, and ran faster on the grass than on the trees, and within a few jumps, they wanted to Catch up with them.

The horses were already tired, although they rested just now, they didn't run very fast, within a short while Wei Ning'er and the others were overtaken by a dozen wild beasts.

"It's a wolf!" Concubine Jia screamed.

They had to stop their horses because the beast ran too fast and surrounded them.

"It's not a wolf, it's a tiger!" Wei Ning'er's voice was full of panic. At this time, she was also afraid, but she still picked up the bow and arrow with trembling hands.

"Take out your bow and arrow!" Wei Ning'er shouted to Concubine Jia who was still in a daze.

Concubine Jia was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Sister, don't worry, quickly put away the bow and arrow, this is not a tiger, this is a leopard, there are some in the paddock, but they are usually separated by the east side of the paddock, why did they appear at this time? After here, there are so many more?"

"Money leopard!" Wei Ning'er was stunned, and after gathering her composure, she asked, "Do they eat people?"

Concubine Jia looked at her in astonishment when she heard this, and said after a while: "Don't eat... leopards are alert, they can swim, they are good at climbing trees, they are good at jumping and running, they usually don't appear in groups, and they often appear in groups. They wander back and forth in the forest, they are fierce by nature, but generally they don't hurt people, and they don't know how to eat people!"

"However I look at them, they seem very hungry. They really look like tigers!" Wei Ning'er was still holding the bow and arrow.

"Sister has seen a tiger?" Concubine Jia couldn't believe it.

"I saw the tiger painted by the artist at the art booth on the street!" Wei Ning'er returned.

Concubine Jia was slightly astonished when she heard the words, but she heard the howling of the leopards, so she hurriedly shouted: "Sister, quickly put down the bow and arrow, lest they think we are going to hurt them, and it will be a disaster!"

"Okay!" Wei Ning'er immediately put away her bow and arrow.

"Get off the horse!" Concubine Jia shouted.

"Why?" Wei Ning'er was a little puzzled.

"They are so hungry. They must have taken a fancy to the horse we are riding. It is important to save their lives. Get off the horse and let's go!" Concubine Jia went down first after saying that.
