Chapter 197 Stop Hunting 1
Many ministers and soldiers stood densely outside Lingjun's tent, all of them looked extremely solemn.

Qin Luoyu paused, this is, what's wrong?is something happened?

It was inconvenient for Qin Luoyu to go any further, so he had no choice but to go back to the camp, and wait patiently for Ling Junhang to finish the discussion with the ministers.

But it was too late to wait.

The ministers outside Lingjun's account did not retreat for a long time, Qin Luoyu had no choice but to sleep first, and planned to talk about it the next day.

Unexpectedly, on the second day, a thunderbolt fell from the blue sky: the emperor will return to the palace with all civil and military officials, and the hunting trip ends here.

Wei Wushu came to see her off to the carriage with a serious look on his face.

After Qin Luoyu asked, he found out that Taichangqing Deng Huai suddenly fell off his horse and died last night!

Deng Huai was over 50 years old, but his body was actually still strong. Last night, after having a feast with his ministers, he rode back to his camp, but somehow fell off his horse and died on the spot.

Deng Huainai is the Empress Dowager's elder brother, although he is not a sibling of the Empress Dowager, but according to seniority, he is worthy of being an uncle of Lord Ling Xing.

His death is of course no small matter.

Therefore, the original hunting carnival had to be temporarily terminated, and all members returned to the capital.

Qin Luoyu was so depressed that her rabbits hadn't come in handy yet!
Once she returned to the palace, she would have to be banned from Qiushui Palace, unable to get out, even unable to see Lord Ling Xing, how could she beg him to take her to Ancheng?
And these rabbits, these dozens of rabbits, what can we do?
Qin Luoyu wanted to look for Lord Ling before leaving, but he couldn't find him.

He had no choice but to entrust these rabbits to Wei Wushu, and asked her to send them to Prince Zhao's Mansion.

The one-month trip to Mount Dai was full of plans and only lasted half a month before it was announced to end in advance.

All the officials were beaming with joy when they left, but they were all downcast when they came back, and they felt sorry for each other.

Deng Huai was regarded as an old official in the court, with a gentle temperament on weekdays, he was regarded as a good old man.

Although he is an uncle of the country, he has never overwhelmed others with power, on the contrary, he is very low-key and easy-going.

And back then his daughter was the first concubine of His Royal Highness King Zhao. Although she died tragically on the night of her wedding, she was still the emperor's father-in-law and could be called the "Head of the Country".

One can imagine the shock that his death brought to the ministers.

On the night when the emperor drove back to the palace, Prime Minister Pei Yuandao asked to see the emperor.

Pei Yuandao looked guilty, and knelt down to plead guilty: "I was walking with Mr. Deng that day. I saw that he was still sane, so I didn't send him back to the tent, but I didn't intend to cause a catastrophe. I am guilty, and I ask the emperor to punish me!"

Of course, the emperor couldn't punish him, so he waved his hand to signal him to back down.

On the evening of the second day after the emperor returned to the palace, Taishi, who had always been friends with Deng Huai, asked Wang Ping to see him in secret.

"On the night of the banquet, Mr. Deng left with Prime Minister Pei. I remember that he didn't drink much and he was very sober."

Wang Ping prostrated himself on the ground, his voice was old but firm, "Mr. Deng was also a figure who went to the battlefield with the old man of the Deng family when he was young. He was skilled in bow and horse. How could he suddenly fall off the horse and die? The old minister suspects that there must be something strange in it."

……

Not long after Taishi ordered Wang Ping to leave, Doctor Yushi sternly and secretly asked to see him.

"I know what the words I'm going to say today mean. I also know that it is a serious crime to speculate and doubt the minister without evidence."

As soon as Yan Yan came in, he gave a big salute, touched his head to the ground, and his words clanged: "Dan Chen returned to the palace from the Daishan hunting ground. On the way, every time I think of Deng Gong's death, I feel like a bone stuck in my throat, and I can't vomit."
