Chapter 276: Knife Wounds

I don't know when, Ruyi, who had been guarding Mu He in the side hall, took advantage of the fact that the guests were about to disperse, lowered his head and stood behind Xiao Yu without a sense of existence, whispered a few words quickly beside him, and turned to leave.

In the noisy hall, who would pay attention to whether such an inconspicuous little maid has ever appeared.

When Xiao Yu heard this, his face did not move, and a pair of eyes shot towards Chu Tian germanium.

Chu Tiangerium had something in his heart, but after a few gossips with the emperor, he got up under the pretext and left in a hurry.

Xiao Yu has always been presumptuous and casual, what he wants to do, what occasion, seeing Chu Tiangerman leaving, he didn't greet him, he only gave Hui Guifei a look, got up and left the table, and chased Chu Tiangermanium all the way out.

On Xiao Yu's side, Xiao Yi and Xiao Duo saw Chu Tiangerman and Xiao Yu both leaving, knowing that there must be a reason, but because the emperor was still there, whether they had the heart or not, they just languished there like pins and needles, and couldn't help wondering what Xiao Yu had done.

Looking at the back of her son's departure, Concubine Hui's heart moved slightly, thought about it slightly, turned her head with a smile on her face, and said to the emperor across the queen: "Your Majesty, the autumn hunting is coming, and the concubine has not been out of the palace for a long time, I really want to take a look at the hunting ground hunting flag, feel the breath of galloping with Your Majesty back then, after so many years, I don't know what the hunting ground has become." ”

With a longing on her face, she looks like a teenage girl with a spring in her heart, shy and delicate, which makes people look at it, and the corners of her mouth can't help but curl.

When the emperor heard this, he immediately smiled on his face, "In previous years, you only said that you couldn't stand the cold of the hunting ground and were too lazy to move, but this year you were looking forward to it early." ”

The queen was sandwiched in the middle, and the emperor's tender eyes were a little sour at Concubine Hui, but she has been able to play this dignified and virtuous appearance quietly for so many years, and at this time, she has performed the tolerance and generosity to the fullest.

"My sister is looking forward to this year's autumn hunting, and Your Majesty will definitely take my sister to take a look. With a swaying step, the queen turned her head and smiled at the emperor.

After speaking, Fu looked at Hui Guifei again, her face was full of kindness, "It's just that everything you need to bring is complete, my sister is delicate, and she can't stand the beating compared to those men, don't look at the autumn wind in this palace with the temperature of the warm sun, and the wind in the hunting ground, it's cold! ”

The queen's smiling eyes flickered.

When Concubine Hui heard this, she nodded her head hurriedly, her smile was humble and respectful, but she sighed secretly in her heart, the queen is the queen, no matter what the topic, she can always be used quietly.

Every time the day changes, the queen will have a leg attack, and no matter how busy the emperor is, he will have to rest in the queen's palace that night.

Everyone said that the emperor and the queen have a deep relationship, and the emperor feels sorry for the queen, but in the palace, except for the two parties involved in the emperor and queen, only she knows the reason.

Her leg, where is the root of the disease that fell from the cold of the hunting ground, it is clear that the knife wound of the year has not healed, leaving a hidden disease.

In the second year of the emperor's accession to the throne, he was still married, the middle palace was empty, and the queen mother had already drawn up a candidate, just waiting for the emperor to make a final decision.

After selecting one person, the remaining three will be ranked.

On the day of the autumn hunt, the flag covered the sun, and it was very lively, and the four selected queen candidates also accompanied the team.

The young son of heaven was full of spirit, and as soon as he arrived at the hunting ground, he pulled a group of courtiers who had made friends with Su Ri to compete to see who had more loot.

The horn sounded, the drums were beating, the flags were called, and in the hunting ground, as everyone returned one after another with the spoils, the atmosphere was constantly pushed to a climax.

In the whole competition, there are only two people who have attracted the most attention, one is naturally today, and the other is Gu Zhen, Hou of China.

In front of the emperor, Gu Zhen has always not understood what the way of a courtier is, and he is not merciless when he should fight for it.

The emperor didn't care either, he was always forced to lose face by Gu Zhen, but he jumped to scold him with a black face, how to be good afterwards, how to be good about the two of them.

Therefore, in today's game, the performance of the two of them naturally became the focus.

As the sky gradually darkened, and the twilight slowly caged, Gu Zhen rode out of the forest, and there was a blind bear behind him, seeing this, everyone immediately cheered, but there was no trace of His Majesty behind Gu Zhen.

Immediately, someone noticed something strange and couldn't help but step forward and ask, "What about Your Majesty?"

Gu Zhen handed over the blind bear he had injured to the soldier who stepped forward to answer him, and the corners of his eyes and eyebrows swelled with surprise, "Your Majesty didn't come back?"

As soon as these words came out, the audience was shocked.

Looking at everyone's faces, Gu Zhen's face immediately changed greatly, led the horse, turned his head and ran into the forest.

It's just that before he reached the edge of the forest, he saw the emperor riding out on horseback, without prey, and sitting on horseback was the current queen with a flushed face.

Gu Zhen immediately jumped to his feet, "Hunting is hunting, we are scared enough here, thinking that you were caught by a blind bear and fed the bear cubs, you are so ......good" Glancing at the girl on horseback, Gu Zhen finally held back the following words.

Seeing this, everyone immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

In front of all the courtiers, the emperor was reprimanded by Gu Zhen, but he was not angry, with an expression that he had long been accustomed to, and only smiled: "Anyway, I can't compare to you, it's better to enjoy the flowers than to work hard." ”

A flower appreciation, a pun, the queen suddenly blushed with shame, lowered her eyebrows and didn't dare to raise her head.

As a courtier, except for Gu Zhen's lawlessness, who dares to make jokes about the emperor, even the emperor's siblings, King Duan just shrugged his shoulders and laughed secretly.

When the emperor returned safely, everyone naturally breathed a sigh of relief, and the night's bonfire barbecue kicked off.

Since that day, the queen has lived in the emperor's tent until the camp is pulled back to the palace, and the next day, the emperor issued an edict, and the queen's candidate was decided.

This is a well-known matter, not a secret.

And what Concubine Hui knew more was from the emperor's own narration.

The reason why the emperor did not return at sunset that day was not as he said to ride a horse to enjoy the flowers, but encountered assassins in the depths of the dense forest, a man and a woman, dressed in black and masked, and the knife was close to the emperor's vital point, if it were not for the emperor's diligence in martial arts since childhood, he would have died unjustly in the forest.

But in the end, one person is difficult to defeat two people, and gradually the strength is revealed, just when the emperor is getting more and more tired, the queen emerged from the forest, rushed in the direction of their fight, and shouted while running, "Catch the assassin, catch the assassin, the emperor is here, come quickly!"

In that way, even the emperor really thought that there were others behind her.

When the two assassins heard this, they immediately did not dare to fight, and waved their knives one last time, turned around and hurriedly fled, only the one knife, but it was impartial, and slashed straight at the legs of the queen who happened to run to the emperor.

……

Concubine Hui still remembers the indescribable guilt on the emperor's face when he mentioned this matter, and in his heart, the knife that the queen received was clearly on his behalf.
