The queen leaves the court

Chapter 16 The fox hunts her as bait (2)
The bright eyes under the black veil suddenly turned cold, what does it feel like to be blown to death?

"Princess is so cruel. I'm here to wait for you and want to help you. Why can't I have a nice word from you?" There was a little helplessness in his voice, but it was more a sigh of being misunderstood by An Zixun.

He picked up the blades flying in the wind with his fingertips, put it between his lips, and blew it, the simple notes were pleasant.

"It's so noisy!" After inhaling the miasma, she became more and more uncomfortable, no matter how nice the sound was, she could only hear it as harshness. "If you want to kill me, let's compete head-to-head, or leave quickly. When Helianqing comes, you won't be able to escape. Don't forget, you kidnapped Mrs. Hua last time. He holds a grudge very much, so he won't kill you No wonder!"

An Zixun drew out the dagger at his waist and clenched it tightly. The dense fog caused by the smoke just now was also very eye-catching. I hope people outside will notice this.Whether He Lianqing will come or not, she really cannot guarantee.

In fact, she had a rather evil idea in her heart just now, hunting him tonight and insisting that she come with her, either she was going to abandon her here, or she was going to lure someone into the bait, right?
If not, why would Helian Xiao suddenly disappear without any reason, leaving her alone in the forest, and those few assassins who followed like a shadow.

Helian Qing, is this really the case?She felt a pain in her heart, this feeling of eager to prove, but afraid that she really guessed right, was complicated and difficult to distinguish, mixed with unspeakable bitterness.

The miasma worsened, and it worked for her to cover her mouth and nose. Even after coughing, her body fell limply on the ground, curled up in a pitiful form, but she held the dagger tightly in her hand, trying to fight for the last time.

A stubborn woman will only hurt herself the most.

Seeing this, the man in black walked over slowly. He bent down and reached out to touch her shoulder. Seeing that she didn't respond, he straightened her body. It seemed that she had really passed out.This miasma is poisonous, especially before dawn.

With a pale face, An Zixun tightly frowned the tip of her beautiful eyebrows, enduring the pain caused by the miasma.

"Do you expect Helian Qing to come over? Even if he does come, it will definitely not be because of you." He whispered, brushing between her frowning brows, his fingers lingering in her eyes, she and Jin Henbo have a relationship A pair of identical eyes.

He can remember clearly just by looking at it.He lowered his head and sniffed lightly, the faint fragrance on her body was so familiar.

"Go away!" Ling Kong said in a cold and stern voice mixed with slight anger. When the voice was still in his ears, the sword energy was already coming towards him.He turned around abruptly and avoided a few meters away.

"Yo, who am I?" The man in black teased, dodging quickly, the fierce sword aura around He Lianqing was so oppressive and frightening, the Three Lives Gu is really powerful!
The big red robe waved its wide sleeves, sweeping away the dense miasma. Seeing An Zixun fainted on the ground, Helianqing frowned slightly, leaned over and covered her nose with a silk handkerchief soaked in medicine, so as to reduce the impact of the miasma on her. poison.

"Prince Qing's pretentious appearance is really penetrating, which is admirable." The black veil was cut open by Helianqing's sword energy, revealing his jade-like side face slightly. He turned around and pulled down the veil but smiled, still speaking softly. Whispered.

"Your Excellency's technique is even more brilliant. From the hunting grounds of the Prince's Mansion, you are completely unaware. This king admires you." He Lianqing smiled without showing the slightest bit of anger.It seemed that it wasn't him who killed people with sword energy just now.

"It's just a trick, the lord laughs at it. It's no better than the lord, who can use his concubine as a bait to lure people into the bait." He looked at the unconscious An Zixun, and couldn't help but click his tongue, which angered Helianqing.

He Lianqing didn't say a word, but slowly drew out the sword at his waist, the thin blade was like cold water.

He asked He Lianxiao to leave An Zixun in the forest, and he followed her secretly, and there was no movement for a long time.She seemed to have sensed something and wanted to leave early.

The horse Yuhuacong came running suddenly, he expected that someone must have entered the forest and frightened the horse.

An Zixun released the signal and chased after the silver fox alone. He Lianqing followed closely behind. As expected, those assassins appeared one after another.

Listening to their conversation, He Lianqing knew that the matter of the cliff was caused by these few people.He was about to take her away, but An Zixun took advantage of the smoke to get away, and broke into the forest for a while.

By accident, He Lianqing met the real master hiding in the dark, the assassin of the Prince's Mansion, who pretended to be Jin Zhenbo, trying to trick him.

He lowered his eyes and turned his head to look at her again, frowning.Stupid thing, use such a way to hurt yourself in exchange for his trust.

"You know she is the concubine of this king, yet you still dare to touch her." He Lianqing raised his hand, the sharp edge of the sword pierced the opponent's eyebrows with killing moves.

"Who's concubine is so miserable, she was distrusted by her husband, and even used as a bait. I am afraid that the prince killed me because I was disrespectful to the concubine, but because I was afraid that others would know that you are a heartless person!"

After more than a dozen moves, the two sides were in a tie, the miasma worsened, and it was almost impossible to see the person on the other side in the white mist.After a sound of clashing swords, He Lianqing turned around and jumped up to An Zixun's side.

He is not afraid of the miasma with the Sansheng Gu, and the other party seems to be fine, but An Zixun can't, the effect of the medicine on the silk handkerchief just now can't last long, the miasma is thick, and her body starts to twitch slightly after inhaling too much.

"Since the prince wants to compete, why not make an appointment again and change the place."

"Okay." He Lianqing replied briefly, and quickly left An Zixun in his arms. Only a purple handkerchief covering her mouth and nose fell from the air into the palm of the man in black, like her graceful figure.

At the edge of the forest, He Lianxiao waited for a long time before seeing the third brother come out holding An Zixun, he said that he really apologized to her, but the third brother said that he would make sure that she was safe, and he always believed in what the third brother said.

"What's wrong with the princess?" Seeing that An Zixun's condition was not right, he passed out in the third brother's arms.

"Miasma, bring some antidote." He Lianqing ordered.

When Helianxiao took the antidote, he suddenly found something wrapped around An Zixun's feet.Turned pale with shock, he hurriedly whispered, "Third Brother, what do you see on her feet?"

The miasma was thick, just now a few assassins appeared from the dark, staggered over and knelt down, the young master used the sound of the flute to stop them from attacking An Zixun, the miasma of the swamp poisoned their hearts and lungs.

"Little Lord!"

"I'm still your young master. Didn't you all obey others' orders?" He lifted the black veil, his eyebrows and eyes were as beautiful as the person in the painting, male and female were indistinguishable.

He put the veil close to his body, and walked past several people, not looking at the faces that were about to be poisoned, and let them struggle in pain and gradually stop breathing.

He Lianqing had already looked at it carefully, and frowned, "How long is it before dawn?"

"One hour ago, I heard from a spy that the prince had hunted silver foxes. Although there were not many of them, we didn't have any!" He looked at An Zixun worriedly as he spoke. There was a faint black air emerging from the space.

Her calf was repeatedly entwined with a golden thread as thin as a hair. Helian Xiao's eyes were sharp, and he noticed that the hair seemed to move by itself, and it seemed to be tightening continuously.

"Third brother, what is this?"

"Golden thread python." He said quickly, laying her flat on the ground.

"Isn't that only found in the swamp? She has been to the swamp? What a fool, I have already warned her not to run into the depths of the forest..." He has only heard that this thing only grows in swamps, but the species rare.

Its body is golden and slender, and its mouth has barbed teeth that are hard to distinguish with the naked eye. Once it is wrapped around a living creature, it will slowly tighten its body, and then inject all the poisonous stingers into the living creature's skin, allowing it to slowly poison and die .

"You continue to catch the silver fox, and don't come back here within half an hour." He Lianqing ordered in a deep voice not to give him a chance to speak again, and sent him away.

The dagger cut off the body of the golden-threaded python, and it had already been strangled in the flesh circle by circle. After Helianqing cleaned it up, no blood came out of a tiny wound, and the skin around it turned purple.

She who had been in a coma suddenly moved and opened her eyes slightly.

Prying open her mouth, He Lianqing downed a bottle of antidote one after another, she only swallowed a little, and the rest spilled out of her mouth.

A lot of the antidote was spilled, and he got a hand, he quickly supported An Zixun's jaw, his eyes moved slightly, "If you don't want to die, you can swallow as much as you can."

"The miasma...is poisonous...you go away..." Her eyes were slack and she murmured her dark purple lips, she said this with all her strength, and the fingers pulling Helianqing's sleeve fell to the ground.

His always indifferent heart seemed to be scalded by something, he looked down at her subconsciously, a thin black thread was slowly extending upwards along An Zixun's slender calf, the toxin of the golden thread python had already been swimming in his body, If it got to the heart, An Zixun would definitely die.

In addition, she was poisoned by miasma, and the two poisons were in one body, and the attack was faster.She was afraid that the antidote hadn't worked yet, and she had died.

He Lianqing used the dagger to melt away the wound on her leg, but still no blood flowed out, An Zixun remained motionless, it seemed that she was unconscious and could not even feel the pain.

Suddenly, he leaned over and carefully pressed the sides of her calves, sucked out the poison for her with his lips against the wound, spat out a mouthful of poisonous blood, and continued to suck until the blood on the ground turned from black to bright red, and the thin and thin skin on her legs The black line gradually disappeared, and He Lianqing heard a slight sound from her fainted.

His frowned eyebrows slowly relaxed, and he stood up and looked over again. The black air between her brows also disappeared, the color of her lips turned from dark purple to pale, and her breathing gradually became steady.

The tip of the knife pierced her finger, and He Lianqing dripped blood on her wound.

"Ah..." She let out a low cry, twitched her calf suddenly, and was held down by him.

The blood of the Three Lives Gu can detoxify hundreds of poisons, if used on the wound bitten by the golden thread python, it will definitely cause pain.

"If you are conscious, you will save your life." Seeing her frowning brows and tightly pursed lips, she looked much more beautiful than the frightening appearance just now, and he couldn't help smiling, then he stretched out his hand and unbuttoned her clothes, wanting to check the other girls. wound.

"Third brother." Before Helian Xiao's voice came, he came quickly, but he ran into the unconscious An Zixun, his clothes were untied by his third brother, half/naked shoulders were wrapped with white gauze, revealing a large area of ​​skin on his chest in the moonlight Shine like pearls.

He stood there blankly, half of the words stuck in his throat.An Zixun's eyes are beautiful, even her skin is so smooth...

Facing Helianqing's icy cold eyes suddenly, he hastily closed his eyes and turned around, "I, I didn't see anything!"

"What's the matter?" He didn't dare to turn around until he heard Helianqing's unhappy tone. An Zixun was wrapped tightly in his big cloak and was being hugged and leaned against his arms.

"It's less than half an hour, the prince is ready to withdraw, no matter how many there are, it's better than the one we don't have!" Helian Xiao suddenly lost his confidence. "Third Brother, what should we do?"

He knew what He Lianqing had always wanted, and was regarded by his father as a reward for this hunting. At the beginning, the third brother won the riding and archery. competition.

The third brother has deployed his own plan again, and he still has to worry about hunting. Now that An Zixun has another accident, he can't help at all!

"Without the silver fox, we will definitely lose." He was still depressed, and turned to look at An Zixun, "Is she better?"

"It's all right." He Lianqing smiled, not worried about the result that she got nothing, she carried An Zixun on her horse, and walked out of the woods facing the sunrise in the sky.

"I'm really useless, I haven't done anything well!" On one side, Helian Xiao was still dejected and didn't get over it.

"Old Qi, you have helped third brother a lot this time, why is it useless." He subconsciously hugged An Zixun in his arms, and everything he wanted last night came true.

"If the silver fox hunts a lot, it doesn't mean it will win." He Lianqing smiled childishly, and comforted He Lianxiao.

Until the end, the outcome will not be known.

At sunrise on Dongshan Mountain, the bonfire in the hunting ground had just been extinguished, and light smoke wafted into the air.

He Lianchen was the first to come back. There was an iron cage in the team. Inside were several silver foxes of different sizes. They cuddled together. Their narrow and charming eyes were bright. Even if they were imprisoned, they were extremely alert to anyone approaching the cage. people.

"Father." He presented the cage to Helian Yufeng.

"That's right, the silver fox is cunning. Every year when everyone hunts together, they can't get a few. Chen'er got several in one night this time. I will definitely reward you well." He couldn't help praising and smiling heartily.

The other princes returned in vain, and Helian Yufeng didn't blame them, and gave everyone a lot of treasures. The hunting of the silver fox was actually a competition between the prince and King Qing.

Chen'er has always been calm in doing things, humble and courteous to his brothers and sisters, and Helian Yufeng has seen it all these years, so he can't help but love this son even more.

There is also Qing'er, this child is also outstanding, but Helian Yufeng knows that when it comes to temper and personality, Qing'er is also the most similar to him in his bones.For a prince who is not the crown prince, such a temper is not acceptable.

He Lianqing, who came from a distance, firmly hugged An Zixun with both hands and got off the horse, then knelt down to Helian Yufeng.

"My son sees my father."

"Get up, what's wrong with your concubine?" Helian Yufeng saw that An Zixun's face was pale, his clothes were still stained with blood, his bun was untied, and his long hair fell down and covered his body.

"Returning to the father, it's my son's fault that caused the concubine to be injured while hunting." He stood up, let her sit on the chair and wiped the cold sweat oozing from her forehead pitifully with his sleeve.

Behind him came He Lianchen's concerned voice, "Third brother, there is a medical girl with me, please come and take care of my younger siblings."

His eyes darkened, and then he turned around and politely declined, "Thank you, second brother, but the princess told me before that no matter what, she won't look at the injury until the end of the competition and the winner is determined."

"Qing'er, you don't have any prey. It stands to reason that your second brother won."

He Lianchen's eyes turned, and his elegant figure appeared in front of the emperor, "Father, this round should be a tie between the son and the third brother. He has to take care of his younger siblings. Otherwise, according to the third brother's skills, how can he be empty-handed?" It’s back. Besides, the last game was won by the third brother, so it should be the third brother who won the hunt this year.”

There is no arrogance or rashness in victory or defeat, Helian Yufeng is obviously satisfied with his answer.

"Qing'er, what your second brother said makes sense, this competition..."

"Your Majesty." An Zixun's weak voice made him temporarily stop talking, and turned to look over. "My lord doesn't mean to care about winning or losing." She said calmly.

Judging from this competition so far, He Lianqing has already lost, and no matter how he recovers, it will be a tie at most.Coupled with the ingenious words of the prince, it is still uncertain who will win.

If He Lianqing wants to win, she can't offend the prince too much. She is the only one who will be the least controversial in front of the emperor.

"Actually, it's like this..." She helped He Lianqing stand up, thinking about the few words he explained on the way.

The moment the four eyes met, a shallow arc was drawn at the corner of his mouth, An Zixun was stunned, always thinking that He Lianqing would do something.

All of a sudden, the silver foxes imprisoned in the iron cage bit each other like crazy, and hit the iron cage. After a while, the fur on their bodies was soaked in blood. If they didn't stop, the beasts kept screaming, like a fierce fight , will never give up until both sides suffer.

"Oh, how could this be?" Concubine Shu frowned next to Helian Yufeng. "Okay, how can we fight?"

Helian Yufeng's heart sank, silver foxes are beasts, they live in groups peacefully, the sudden fierce fighting is an ominous omen.

This beautiful animal is very frightening when it goes crazy, and the cage is almost turned over by them. The red eyes reflect the sun, which is as red as blood.

Just when everyone was astonished, there was a long neighing sound in the forest, and after a while, a silver-white figure was seen flying towards him, and a dazzling brilliance appeared in the sunlight.

"Silver Fox!" Someone called out.

It stopped, looked at the dying fellow in the cage, walked slowly to An Zixun, and gently lowered its head to rub against the corner of her clothes.

"This is?" It was the first time Helian Yufeng saw such a docile silver fox. Compared with the few trapped ones, it had the aura of a king, but it was extremely intimate with An Zixun.

"It's the fox king, and it was given to the emperor by the princess." He Lianqing smiled and said, "It was the princess who found it, and because of this, she strayed into the swamp and was injured."

"It's so beautiful. Princess Qing's fox king is stronger than other silver foxes." Helian Yufeng stared at the fox king.

An Zixun stroked the silver fur, she couldn't understand why the Fox King suddenly appeared, and then looked at He Lianqing, who was also staring at her with a slight smile.

It was rare for Helian Qing to smile at her like this, she blinked and turned her head, and said in a barely audible voice, "You did it?"

"Why, you don't like it?" He put his arms around An Zixun, whispering in her ear, watching her soft white earlobes turn crimson.

Without saying a word, she backed away to one side, and said to Helian Yufeng in front of her, "It is An Zixun's honor to have the emperor like this fox king."

"Okay, I like it very much. Princess Qing, just tell me what reward you want. I will agree."

Her hand was suddenly pinched by He Lianqing as a warning, An Zixun smiled wryly in her heart, probably because she was afraid that she would take the opportunity to ask for something too much.She only wanted Jin Xiaotong's antidote, and then left Xichu, but neither of these things could be obtained by asking the emperor.
