The two eunuchs wailed as they were dragged down. The guards who pulled the people were accustomed to these near-death struggles, and simply tore the cloth from their clothes neatly, and quickly plugged the people's mouths.

The eunuch's leg was broken with a torture rod, and the guards dragged the half-dead man into the mountains. The jackals in the mountains like these things that are not dead but have no strength to resist.

Before the hunt, the falcon died inexplicably, which is not a good sign.

Staring at the already stiffened falcon corpse on the ground, Li He pondered.

The eagle has a lonely temperament, and even when it is about to starve to death, it will choose to rush to the sky at the last moment of its life and die a tragic death. Xiaoying is indeed strange like this, but the food and water have been checked, and it is not poisoning.

Li He was born rough, with five big and three thick physiques. At this time, his eyebrows were furrowed, and his face was even more fierce, and after a while, he said to Yuan Mingjiang: "Your Highness, Xiaoying is dead, why don't we take it slow for the time being?"

Yuan Mingjiang's face was extremely ugly, and for a while, the hall was so quiet that he could hear the wind outside.

In such a situation, Lang Yuege was not there, and he was the only one in the house who dared to speak out. After all, Yuan Mingjiang's skills in training eagles and riding and archery were all learned from him.

But hearing that Yuan Mingjiang's face was completely overcast, if Emperor Xuan knew, he might not even have the opportunity to hunt this time, let alone go into the mountains to hunt foxes.

He turned his back and said word by word: "This hall has never believed in the strange power of the gods, if you are afraid and cowardly, you can stay in the other courtyard." Besides, if anyone dares to reveal the matter of Xiaoying's death in these days, don't blame the main hall for being polite!"

***

No matter how big the layout of the Xishan Annex, it cannot be compared with the Imperial Palace.

In addition, the residences of several princes and princesses are arranged in one place, and the movement on one side is a little bigger, and you can vaguely hear a rough idea in the next few buildings.

It's going to be late this day, Yuan Huainan and Yuan Jiusi should still be playing outside.

As for Yuan Mingjiang, her imperial brother has been more silent than anyone else for a while, so it is said that he should be busy with how to win back his father's favor during this hunt, and he has no time to pay attention to anything else.

When I walked to the window and looked at it, there were tall leaves in the noise outside, so I couldn't see anything famous.

Yuan Xihe always felt that something was wrong in his heart, so he told Tang Shi to take a look.

The sound gradually faded away, Yuan Xihe stared at the burning clouds in the sky, and waited for a long time, after the tea on the table had cooled, and then Citrus Citrus came back from the outside panting.

Covering the door, Citrus Shi glanced at Colt Dong, patted his chest and said smoothly: "Princess, it was the two little eunuchs who raised the falcon for the prince, and the two of them somehow raised the eagle of His Royal Highness the prince to death!"

"As soon as the slave went out, she ran into the dead bird, which was strange. I guess I didn't let anyone check and didn't find out the reason, the slave maid saw a few guards dragging the eunuch with a broken leg into the forest behind the mountain, I guess—"

There is no way to live at all, and he didn't say the second half of his voice, and he shook his head in fear when he thought of the blood that was winding all the way under the legs of the two.

"Falcon?"

Yuan Xihe's eyes fell to the window, and fallen leaves fell in the yard from time to time.

Most of the leaves were not yet yellow, and somehow they fell into the soil and crushed into dust before the other steps that had already withered.

She remembered that Yuan Mingjiang was a treasure eagle, and the bird had a ruthless temperament, and it was said that it had injured many people.

The biggest disturbance was when he pecked the eyes of a eunuch, his flesh and blood were blurred, and his condition was unbearable.

If such a thing happens, Emperor Xuan will naturally pursue it. But in the end, I don't know what method Yuan Mingjiang used to round the past, the eagle falcon is still well raised, and there are still many eunuchs and palace maids who come forward to serve.

The East Palace also has a spacious eagle room for it to live in.

It was useless for the poor blind eunuch to stay, he was sent out of the palace a few years ago, and it is unknown whether he was dead or alive.

"The eagle raised by the royal brother has caused a lot of evil. It's really life-threatening, you see that these are all dead, and they won't let go of two. Yuan Xihe sighed leisurely, sighing and sighing.

Father Emperor Yuan Mingjiang has not been able to reverse the situation, and the eagle that is raised like a baby on weekdays died.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince must be in a hurry. Yuan Xihe lightly hooked the corners of his lips, the more impatient he was, the easier it was to go wrong.

She smiled, "Just because you can understand something at a glance, you have been out for so long?" Yuan Xihe caught a glimpse of the tired and sweaty citrus on his forehead, and floated out a sentence without being salty or light.

Xu is An Meiren mentioned to her that after the autumn season, she should marry the barbaric place where there is no grass.

During this time, Yuan Xihe's temperament has also become a little weird, in the past, she only cared about herself, and she didn't care about the idle things next to her at all. But now there is a slight disturbance around her, and she is uneasy.

Thinking that the master was blaming himself for procrastinating, he hurriedly explained: "Everyone in the North Hall comes and goes, and they are all very busy. The slave and maid saw that there were still eunuchs sending things to His Royal Highness the Prince, so they paid attention to it and looked at it a few more times, as if they were packing up hunting things for His Royal Highness. ”

Hearing this, Butterbur glanced at her angrily, pulled her sleeve and whispered: "Rare and strange, what are you doing when you come to Xishan not to hunt?"

Emperor Xuan paid equal attention to civil and military affairs, and the number and category of prey hunted in these days were all counted and reviewed on the last day. If the income is huge, there is a reward. For this reason, a group of people who accompanied him sharpened their heads, wanting to hunt more goods to please His Majesty.

Yuan Xihe didn't say anything. His eyes drooped faintly, looking at the tea leaves in the cup that had been stationary, thinking about things.

Butterbur didn't believe much in ghosts and gods, so he naturally didn't expect that the death of the falcon before the hunt was a bad omen.

When they first came to Xishan, they worshipped the mountain gods. Such things that are close to divine warnings are rather believed in what they have than what they don't.

Yuan Mingjiang is the prince of a country, he should be more careful, the emperor's grace and status are not more important than life. After all, it is deep in the mountains and mountains, in case he has any problems

It is impossible for Yuan Mingjiang not to understand this truth, even if this is the case, he is still in a hurry to prepare what to do.

Thinking of this, Yuan Xihe's heart suddenly jumped.

The hand holding the tea bowl lid trembled suddenly, and instantly thought of the sign she asked for in Putuo Temple, and there must be a way before the car reaches the mountain.

If something really goes wrong in Yuan Mingjiang, it seems that there will be room for maneuver in her affairs, but what if not?

The sound of the bowl slamming on the rim of the cup was very sharp, and both Coltson and Citrus were stunned.

"Then have you gone and asked the imperial brother where he is going?" Realizing that he was out of shape, Yuan Xihe smiled, and the corners of his eyes were gentle and warm.

That smile was a little unpredictable.

Butterbur looked at her from the side, the soft smoke-colored honeysuckle moon skirt and the light cloud bun lined people like fairies.

She sat there quietly, the pear wood embedded in the wall behind her was carved with a laurel picture, and the board seemed to be a fairy who did not eat the fireworks of the world on the Guanghan Palace.

"The slave maid went to ask, but the eunuchs refused to tell me. However, seeing that they were in a hurry, the time must have been in a hurry. Maybe His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will need it tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. ”

Nodding thoughtfully, Yuan Xihe's smile gradually deepened.

Turning her head sideways to look at the butterbur who was still stunned, she said to her: "You see that this girl has been taught by you, and she is becoming more and more clever." ”

Standing up slowly, Yuan Xihe rubbed his swollen forehead and said, "I'm a little tired, you two go and prepare hot water, I still want to rest early." ”

"If you can catch up tomorrow morning to send the royal brother a ride, it will be considered a brother and sister. ”

Late at night.

Gong Hui Jin has been in a happy mood since she came back from the mountain.

Although he didn't show it on his face, Qinglu could also peek out from his demeanor. Maybe this is what Qing Wei said - the charm of women can kill people in the invisible gentle township.

Looking at Qinglu, who was standing on the side and didn't know what he was thinking, Gong Hui Jin raised his eyes and asked him, "What about that person?"

"The subordinates have already thrown people to the wolves in the mountains. Qinglu hurriedly said.

He was a little surprised, he thought that the adult and Princess Shuyi were in full swing, and he didn't know what had happened next to him, but he didn't expect him to be so sober. Fortunately, he didn't dare to take a second look at the long needle's eye, and Qinglu was afraid.

After thinking about it, he added: "It's from the East Palace." ”

Gong Hui Jin was not surprised, nodded casually, and asked by the way: "What did you do with the flower note?"

"Hehe" smiled, Qinglu reached out and grabbed her hair embarrassedly, remembering that Hua Jian's frightened pale face when he watched the wolf eat people, he felt funny, if he hadn't covered that mouth, she would definitely be able to scream through the whole mountain in her throat.

But what was surprising was that she didn't faint, Qinglu replied with a smile: "She also accompanied her subordinates to watch, and she didn't dare to say anything about tonight's matter." ”

"I think you're more talkative than she is. ”

Finishing his clothes, Gong Huijin leaned back slightly, squinting at Qinglu with a rather dangerous look.

Qinglu's eyes immediately burst into tears, he looked up and looked at Gong Hui Jin and almost hugged his arms and rubbed, could it be that he had fallen out of favor and could not be pitied and favored by adults?

"My lord, my subordinates have never gossiped about you and Princess Shuyi with Qingwei Qingchong!

"Alright. Tonight's incident, go and put half of it to Yuan Mingjiang, doesn't he want to know. Flipping through the official documents piled up on the table, Gong Hui Jin said slowly.

Qinglu didn't make a pale and futile defense, and promised to quit after agreeing.

At this time, Qing Chong suddenly came in, "My lord, someone from outside has just received news that tomorrow the prince will take someone to secretly go into the mountains to hunt." ”

With a chuckle, Gong Hui Jin looked at Qinglu: "In that case, let's talk about this matter to him when he can come back." ”
