Chapter 66: The Trap
Seeing that the two horses were about to collide together, Yu Mingzhi jumped off the saddle with his head in his hands, rolled down the dirt slope into the stream, and then a miserable neighing sound sounded overhead.
The tall steed knocked the pony for women to the ground, and the man on the horse hurriedly jumped to the ground, stepped forward with an arrow, grabbed Yu Mingzhi's hand, and gently pulled the person into his arms and carried her away from the stream.
"......" Yu Mingzhi opened his eyes, and what greeted him was the emperor.
The emperor asked with concern, "Is Miss Guo hurt?"
Yu Mingzhi struggled a few times, "Emperor Xie cares, and the people's daughters are fine." β
Her struggle was useless, but made the emperor's hand grip tighter and her tone softer, "I'm sorry, I was reckless in conflict." Miss Guo went back with me, or let the doctor check it, otherwise Qin Aiqing would blame me if she was hurt. β
Yu Mingzhi didn't give up, tried to lightly hit the emperor's chest with his elbow, took advantage of his body to retreat slightly, and when he was stunned for a moment, he quickly broke away, and then bowed to the emperor, "The emperor cares so much about the people of Qinshe and the people's daughters, the people's daughters are grateful, and their bodies are not hindered to go back, and they don't dare to disturb the emperor's Yaxing." β
As she spoke, she took a step back, not wanting pain in her back and ankles at the same time.
She frowned and gasped.
The emperor was led over again, and Yu Mingzhi avoided his hand without a trace by avoiding a beach on the ground.
At this moment, another chaotic sound of horses' hooves came from far and near, followed by Qin Ji's voice, "Your Majesty!"
A look of loss flashed in the emperor's eyes, his gaze moved away from Yu Mingzhi's body, turned to look at the ministers who came to him, and hurriedly waved his hand, "Qin Aiqing, come over and take a look, I'm fine, your fiancΓ©e seems to be hurt." β
In front of the emperor, Qin Ji crossed him and walked quickly to Yu Mingzhi, not caring at all about the clean boots stepping on the muddy ground, the splashed muddy water fell on the hem of the luxurious brocade robe, his face and eyes were full of anxiety and concern, and when he came up, he grabbed her arm, and then hugged her directly.
"Don't be afraid, I'll take you back to see the doctor. β
Yu Mingzhi glanced at the emperor, deliberately leaned on his shoulder affectionately, put one hand around his neck, and nodded obediently.
Qin Ji complained to the emperor, "The minister wants to send Miss Guo back first, and ask the emperor to atone for his sins." β
The emperor nodded and said, "You guys go quickly." β
"The minister retired. After Qin Ji finished speaking, he got on the horse with Yu Mingzhi in his arms, and rode away in full view of everyone.
The emperor sighed and shouted to the ministers who cast inexplicable eyes: "Let's go, let's continue to hunt." β
Qin Ji took Yu Mingzhi back to the tent as quickly as possible, and sent his entourage to invite the imperial doctor.
The imperial doctor carefully examined it, but there was only a shallow abrasion on his back, and his right foot was also sprained. He was covered with sweat under Qin Ji's scorching gaze, and after quickly preparing the wound medicine, he asked Zhu'er to clean and bandage Yu Mingzhi.
As soon as he cleaned up, Qin Ji immediately returned to the tent and asked, "Is there anything else wrong with Zhizhi?" Rest for a while, and I'll send you back to Yang's house." β
"It's all right. Yu Mingzhi met his nervous gaze and said: "I used to follow my father to learn horseback riding and archery, and I was not less injured, and I was not so squeamish." β
"It's okay...... Qin Ji's eyes darkened a little, "This is a bureau set up by someone." β
"What?" Yu Mingzhi glared at him.
Qin Ji said: "I saw some acorns on the ground, it should be someone who deliberately attracted wild boars to let you meet the emperor." β
Yu Mingzhi thought of being gently rubbed on the phoenix, making her almost fall into the emperor's arms. Her brows furrowed even deeper, and she told Qin Ji about it.
"Sure enough, there is a conspiracy to ask you to drive. They want the emperor to take a fancy to you, so that there will be a gap between me and the emperor, and they can take advantage of the weakness to enter. Qin Ji clenched his fists and hammered it on his knee, "Yan Shilang's side, there is no danger at the moment, everything is under control." β
Yes, not only her, but Li Wangshan also took a fancy to Yan Shilang's life.
Yu Mingzhi hurriedly said, "You better go and keep an eye on Yan Shilang, right? β
Qin Ji hugged her waist inch by inch, and refused to leave, "I want to ask the emperor to take a look at your and my feelings, and completely strangle that little bit of sprouts." β
Yu Mingzhi said: "Then you don't have to stick to me......"
Qin Ji said: "In case someone happens to come in and sees you and me sitting at one end and the other at that end, wouldn't you see the clues?"
Yu Mingzhi couldn't talk about him, and lowered his head and ignored him.
"Although the emperor is lustful, as long as I am resolute and the relationship between you and me is strong and deep, he will inevitably give up this idea. However, it would be better for you not to meet the emperor for a while afterward. Qin Ji put his arm around her shoulder, "Lie down and rub your back until it's uncomfortable, you can rest on me for a while." β
Yu Mingzhi supported it, but he didn't rely on it.
Qin Ji patted her on the shoulder a few times and said, "Don't worry, Yan Shilang will definitely not have an accident if he sees it to death." Even if...... When he dies, someone will take his place and escort the grain and grass to the north. β
"Will I send you?"
"No, it won't. β
"I just don't want to delay the wedding and stay too long in the Yang family and the Guo family. β
"I know, I know, Zhizhi wants to marry me. β
"......" Yu Mingzhi turned his head.
The two sat silently, and Yu Mingzhi felt the warmth on Qin's body, which was just right in this season. She blinked, although she was worried in her heart, she was also a little sleepy, and she tried her best not to rely on Qin Ji.
"Qin Sheren, something happened to the emperor. Outside the tent, a deliberately muffled voice sounded.
Yu Mingzhi raised his eyes to look at Qin Ji, Qin Ji's face was as usual, as if he knew everything about this matter, "You come in and talk." β
The curtain was lifted, and a young man came in, standing at the door and not getting any closer, first bowed to Qin Ji, and then said: "According to your orders, on the way back to the emperor, Yan Shilang took the opportunity to exchange his horse for him." Then, while chasing a black bear, the horse suddenly went mad and threw the emperor to the ground, almost being trampled on by his hooves. β
Yu Mingzhi's eyes lit up, it seemed that this was Qin Ji's plan......
The young man continued: "Upon examination, it was found that the horse had been tampered with and fed with poison. The emperor was furious and ordered someone to investigate the matter thoroughly. β
Qin Ji smiled, "Very good." β
Yu Mingzhi said: "Isn't Yan Shilang also unlucky?"
The young man said: "The ministers praised the emperor's majesty of the Son of Heaven, so they can shock the crazy horse and keep the ministers safe." The emperor was furious, but he was glad that Yan Shilang, the minister of the humerus, was unscathed. Yan Shilang was grateful to the emperor and shouted long live, so the blame was revealed. β
Yu Mingzhi breathed a sigh of relief, "I'm very good at acting." β
Qin Ji waved his hand, asked the young man to step back, and then moved closer to Yu Mingzhi, where each other's breath could be felt.
"Zhizhi, you don't have to worry about it now, right?"
