Harem Empress

Chapter 46 Spring Hunting ([-])

Su Ying ran out in a panic from behind, helped me up who was in a state of distress on the ground with a crying voice, and asked with concern: "Sister, are you okay!"

The thrilling scene just now is still fresh in my memory, and I was so scared that I said incoherently: "No, no, it's okay. Fortunately, Sister Concubine Kang saved me just now."

From the woods in the distance, there were loud shouts. Looking from a distance, I saw a man lying on horseback with a few attendants beside him. It seemed that someone was injured. I was also injured by the horse on the ground, but who could it be? Concubine Kang and the Sumerians helped me up, and Taxue adjusted my messy clothes. The guards outside the paddock had already carried the horse away up.

When those people walked in and saw that the one lying on the horseback was the queen, the stone in his heart fell to the ground, Emperor Jingyang was fine.He looked carefully at the queen on horseback again, her face was unkempt, with bright red blood flowing from her forehead, her two white jade hands were worn out, and bright red blood leaked out, and the clothes on her body were also in tatters , it seems that the queen is not clearly injured this time!Concubine Kang hurriedly stepped forward and took out a box of ointment from her bosom, gently rubbed it on the queen, and then wrapped it up with her own silk handkerchief. It seemed that the "crazy horse" just now belonged to the queen. I finally understood that those two people last night were drugging the queen's horse, with the purpose of getting rid of the queen in today's paddock. Who could it be? They have such courage.

At this time, the sound of horseshoes in the distance was getting closer and closer. It must be that Emperor Jingyang knew that something happened to the queen, so he rushed back quickly. He saw a few hares hanging beside Emperor Jingyang's red rabbit, and the entourage behind him was still carrying A few wild deer and pheasants, Emperor Jingyang saw the mess in front of him, immediately got off his horse, ran over quickly, looked up and down carefully at the messy me in front of him, and asked eagerly: "What's the matter with you?" ?”

"The concubine is fine, go and see the empress!" Seeing me pushing myself towards the empress, Emperor Jingyang's face first flashed with astonishment, and then he regained his previous affection, and turned to the empress's direction Walking, I saw from his concerned eyes that he was really afraid of losing me. Although that kind of eyes only appeared for a moment, I remembered it, and my heart became warm.

Because the queen and I were injured one after another, today's hunt ended early. Recalling the thrilling scene today, my heart was still beating wildly. Taxue came in with the freshly brewed medicine, and whispered: " Empress, drink this bowl of medicine quickly!"

From today's incident, it can be seen that Taxue is loyal to me. He quickly took off a pearl hairpin from his head and put it in Taxue's hand, and said softly: "You saved me today regardless of your own safety. I will never forget this kindness.”

Taxue knelt down in a panic and said: "The servant girl has never thought about getting anything from the empress. The empress is the master of the servant girl, and this is what a servant girl should do."

He stretched out his hand to help Taxue up on the ground and said heavily: "Since the death of Luxiu, you are the only good sister I can trust in this palace." Who is false and who is sincere, the bottom of my heart has long been clear.

After drinking the medicine, I fell asleep. In the middle of the night, I suddenly felt someone touching my face. I suddenly opened my eyes and saw that it was Emperor Jingyang who was looking at me affectionately. For some reason, when I saw Jingyang At the moment of Emperor Jing, tears flowed down all of a sudden, and he leaned tightly on his broad chest, crying aggrievedly, Emperor Jingyang didn't say anything, but let me cry unscrupulously there with.

After an unknown amount of time, the crying stopped, and Emperor Jingyang gently joked: "Enough crying, I thought you were so strong!"

Sniffing his nose, wiping away his tears, he choked up and said, "Chen Qie almost won't see you today, if it wasn't for Sister Concubine Kang, Chen Qie would have become a dead soul under that horse's hoof by now!"

After listening to me, Emperor Jingyang was stunned and asked: "Concubine Kang saved you, not those guards."

Shaking his head with an aggrieved face, looking at the thoughtful Emperor Jingyang in front of him, he didn't know that Concubine Kang could draw a bow!Isn't Concubine Kang the princess of the Hezhuo tribe? I heard that people in the Hezhuo tribe can draw bows, so I am not surprised that Concubine Kang can draw a bow.

Emperor Jingyang comforted me a few more words, saying that he had to investigate today's matter, and left in a hurry. Today's matter is indeed very strange. The queen's horse has gone crazy for no reason, which is a bit Unreasonable.

The next day, although the swelling on her feet had dissipated, she was still limping when she walked. She arrived at Yuqiongyuan in a chariot, and the queen had already woken up, lying on the bed with a pale face, her pair of The panicked eyes were still a little blurred, but luckily this time it was only the flesh that was injured, not the muscles or bones.

Huan Pei, the queen's personal maid, ran in quickly from outside, and said out of breath, "I want to report to the empress, the thief has been caught, and the emperor is interrogating him."

As soon as she heard the word "caught", the queen sat up from the bed suddenly, and shouted sharply: "Okay, Huanpei and change clothes, I want to go and see that lifeless thief myself."

The small Hall of Supreme Harmony was full of people. Emperor Jingyang sat on the main hall with a serious face, staring straight at the "thief" kneeling on the ground with his murderous eyes. How could he be alone? , I clearly saw two people that night.

Confused, I looked at the trembling thief kneeling on the ground. I could see that he was afraid. No wonder he was afraid. He first caused the queen to fall off the horse, and then caused me to almost die on the horse's hoof. Since he Dare to admit that he came here with the mentality of death, but why did I see the meaning of not wanting to die from the corner of his eyes? Could it be that he is helping her to take the blame.

"Why did you harm this palace!" the queen in the hall asked sharply.

"The elder brother of the servant used to work in the mother's house, but he fell to his death in an accident. The mother's family relied on their influence in the palace. Seriously injured, the slave was so angry that he set his hands on the horse." The man began to cry as he spoke.

"You are talking nonsense. I have never heard of this matter. Besides, my father has long since stopped asking about government affairs. Don't try to slander me." The queen's pale face was filled with anger.

"Your servant is not talking nonsense. If the emperor doesn't believe you, you can go and investigate." The man kowtowed heavily and said.

Emperor Jingyang in the hall looked at the man on the ground who kowtowed without saying a word and asked coldly, "How did you do that to that horse?"

"Slave, I bought some madness medicine in the pharmacy before, mixed the medicine with the grass eaten by the horse, and specially fed it to the queen's mount. The medicine shop said that if the medicine doesn't run away, it won't go crazy, as long as it runs away If you don't wake up for a stick of incense, you will go crazy immediately." The man replied word by word.
