Zhu Yunwen is gifted and intelligent, he is an unforgettable genius, and he is slightly inferior in martial arts, but in order to please the emperor's grandfather, he practiced riding and archery day and night, never slackened, and achieved a little success, at this time he barely controlled two horses on the verge of losing control.

The mountain road was rugged, the wooden wheels were extremely bumpy, and from time to time I could hear the roar of the tiger, the shouting of the Jinyi Guard, and the soft comfort and crying of Hibiscus. Zhu Yunwen's face was not panicked, and he was surprisingly calm and calm.

Although the tiger was forced into the mountains and forests by the arrow, but the roar after the arrow still frightened the horse to gallop, there is a Taoist temple at the foot of Niushou Mountain, Zhu Yunwen secretly thought about driving the carriage into the Taoist temple, and then took Chang Hibiscus and Shui Sheng to get off the carriage to avoid the attack of the tiger.

In order to ensure safety, the mountain road is a circle of winding down, the walking distance is not short, although around two large circles, but only down a distance of less than a hundred steps, the arrow of the tiger several dives, actually jumped on the rock in front of the carriage!

Zhu Yunwen drove the carriage, watching the white tiger with an arrow in the abdomen on the rock in front of him roaring, his body was arched, and his tail was also raised high, ready to jump into the carriage on time to attack him.

Tigers and other beasts are very smart and will choose the weakest animals to bite, but why did these two tigers let go of the weak palace maids and always stare at the running carriage?

Don't...... Zhu Yunwen suddenly remembered something, there was sadness and disappointment in his eyes that could not be concealed, in the eyes of the tiger, this kind of look indicated that the prey was afraid and yielded, and it was the perfect time to attack.

Whew! The tiger burst out with a roar and pounced on Zhu Yunwen, who was riding on the wheels to catch the car!

In this case, jumping out of a car and getting bitten on the wheel are both dead words. Zhu Yunwen was disheartened for a while, closed his eyes, and a fishy wind unique to fierce beasts came to his face, and the cry of the baby behind him was even louder, followed by a thunderous loud noise!

Both ears were about to be deafened, Zhu Yunwen only felt that his ears were buzzing, he opened his eyes and looked back, but saw that the door of the carriage opened at some point, Chang Jin half-squatted at the door, holding a still smoking musket, Shui Sheng was firmly tied to the seat, with cotton balls stuffed in his ears, waving his fists, kicking his legs like a frog and crying.

And behind the carriage was a white tiger with a smashed head, which had already choked on the spot.

Chang Jin put down his □□ and said something loudly to Zhu Yunwen, Zhu Yunwen was still ringing in his ears, he didn't hear it, he was a little stunned for a while: it turned out that this is what the tiger girl meant, she is gentle and demure on weekdays, and once she encounters danger, she will bravely stand up and protect her family.

Even...... Even knowing that she was the son of her opponent, she still chose to protect me. And I'm ......

Zhu Yunwen was thrown into the carriage by Chang Jin with his collar, "Coax the aquatic life, I'll catch the car!" ”

Chang Jin waved his horsewhip and skillfully controlled the car to move forward. The carriage door opened and closed in the bumps, Chang Hibiscus's slender and flexible figure appeared and disappeared from time to time, her graceful posture seemed to be possible to go down the mountain road from the wheel at any time, but looking at this weak back, Zhu Yunwen felt very safe, held Shui Sheng in his arms and coaxed softly, Shui Sheng cried sweaty, like a charcoal to warm Zhu Yunwen's already cold heart.

The Jinyi guard besieged and hunted another white tiger, and Chang Jin drove a crazy carriage to a stop not far from the Taoist temple, and a crisis had just subsided.

For the safety of his children and grandchildren, Zhu Yuanzhang ended the autumn hunt ahead of schedule and rushed back to the palace.

At night, the East Palace.

Concubine Lu came to the eldest son's palace with the medicine cup in her own hand, "My son, I am frightened today, hurry up and drink this bowl of soothing soup and sleep well. ”

"Thank you, Mother." Zhu Yunwen took the medicine cup with both hands and drank it all, his attitude was still respectful, but he lost the intimacy between mother and son before.

Knowing that the son is like a mother, Concubine Lu felt the alienation of her eldest son, she made a look, withdrew from everyone, and reached out to touch Zhu Yunwen's hair, "My son, what's wrong with you?" ”

Zhu Yunwen quietly turned sideways to avoid her mother's touch, "It's okay, I'm not injured, it's just a little frightened, mother don't worry." ”

Concubine Lu: "Is it really okay?" ”

"Hmm." Zhu Yunwen nodded and didn't look at his mother.

The eldest son has always been smart and sensible, and he is also old, he knows filial piety to his parents at a young age, loves his younger brothers and sisters, and is sympathetic to all kinds of difficulties in his side room, and has never had an awkward relationship with himself, what is wrong today?

Zhu Yunwen is Emperor Hongwu's most beloved grandson and eldest grandson, and his hopes for his whole life in the future are on him, Concubine Lu does not allow her son to inexplicably separate from herself.

"My son, what the hell is the matter? Talk to your mother, and your mother may be able to help you come up with an idea. ”

Zhu Yunwen glanced at his mother, muttered for a moment, and asked, "Why did those two tigers run out?" What about the beast tamers guarding the tiger cage? Are there any fierce beasts running out of the other animal cages in Niushou Mountain? ”

Concubine Lu tried her best to observe her son's expression, trying to understand something, and said: "Oh, only two white tigers ran out, and I heard Mao Xiang, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, that it was the beast tamer who did not close the cage door after feeding the tiger, and the tiger took the opportunity to escape, and the beast tamer hanged himself in fear of sin." ”

"They're all dead." Zhu Yunwen raised his head and looked at his mother, "What about the family of the beast tamer?" ”

Concubine Lu twitched the corners of her mouth and said, "Your imperial grandfather was furious when he heard this, and he exterminated the three tribes of beast tamers. Not only that, but the palace maids who fled after seeing the tiger and didn't know how to escort them were also beheaded. The brocade guards were meritorious, and the two who were bitten to death by the tiger were rewarded with 100 gold, and the hereditary thousands of households were posthumously sealed, and the rest of the people who participated in the escort were promoted to the first class. ”

With such a method, Zhu Yunwen was not surprised, and said lightly, "It's a pity." ”

Concubine Lu asked, "What is a pity?" ”

Zhu Yunwen walked to the desk, lit a few drops of water in the inkstone, and began to grind the ink, not looking at his mother, "I mean it's a pity that the beast tamer died." ”

Concubine Lu felt more and more that something was wrong with her son, she reached out and touched her son's forehead, "Don't you bluff the fever, are you confused?" The cause of this incident is that the animal tamers are not in good care, and there is a later danger, if this kind of dereliction of duty is alive, according to the temper of your imperial grandfather, I am afraid that it will be difficult to escape the punishment of Ling Chi, and the suicide of hanging the beam is considered to be a good death, where is a pity? ”

"Mother, I'm fine, I don't have a fever." Zhu Yunwen gently brushed away Concubine Lu's hand and continued to grind, "Mother said that the beast tamer forgot to close the door after feeding. Reasoning, once the beasts are full, only if they do not encounter the threat of the outside world, they generally will not take the initiative to hurt people, and the tiger enters the mountains and forests, and should flee to the inaccessible places on the mountains, how can they run to the hunting places under the mountains? ”

Concubine Lu explained: "Oh, at that time, your imperial grandfather ordered someone to blow the horn of hunting, and the sound of hunting dogs, horses' hooves, and human voices was boiling, it is estimated that the tiger was frightened and panicked." ”

Zhu Yunwen didn't answer, and the study fell into an awkward silence, only the rustling of ink.

Concubine Lu was a little weak-hearted and said: "People can't estimate that things like beasts are making trouble. Don't worry about these trifles, my son, go to bed early. ”

Zhu Yunwen spread a piece of rice paper on the bookcase, pressed the corners with a piece of blue jade paperweight given by the emperor's grandfather, and began to paint.

I had never seen my son so indifferent, Concubine Lu said: "My son, when you had something on your mind before, you would talk to your mother." Mother is in the deep palace, and it is a side room, what grievances are there in your heart, and only if you know how to explain as a mother, our mother and son are concentric and support each other, so that we can barely win today's situation. If you have something on your mind, say it, don't stay overnight, it's been a long time, and the caution has become a big estrangement, this palace is ambushed on all sides, and the danger is everywhere, if our mother and son are separated, what else do they have to live for each other. ”

Zhu Yunwen was stunned, "It's okay, doesn't my mother still have two sons?" ”

"Presumptuous!" Concubine Lu was furious, then her eyes rolled, suppressed her anger, and said in a low voice: "Do you know what you are talking about?" Are you going to dig out your heart and liver for your mother to prove your innocence? ”

"What did I say?" After a short pause, Zhu Yunwen continued to paint, he was well-read, and his calligraphy and painting skills were also very good, and with a few brushstrokes, he sketched the outline of a tiger.

Zhu Yunwen drew the tail of a tiger and said: "Mother, it is precisely because there are no secrets between me and you and we know each other too well, so some words are just not spoken, and each other understands in their hearts." ”

Concubine Lu's face turned white with anger, "You ...... Why do you speak such damaging words? Mother is dedicated to your future, and she does not hesitate to be low-minded and contemptuous in front of the stupid woman of the crown princess. In the winter, kneeling in the ice and snow to pray for blessings and freezing, not to mention the pain that my mother suffered when she gave birth to you...... My son, have you heard some rumors and misunderstood your mother? ”

Zhu Yunwen's hand holding the paintbrush trembled a little, "People can't decide their own origin, but they can choose their own future." Before you decided to marry to the East Palace, didn't you know that the crown prince had already married the crown princess, and you had to condescend to the side room when you entered the palace? Don't you know that childbirth is painful when you are pregnant? Could it be that I was born in the emperor's family and was your eldest son? ”

Zhu Yunwen put down the paintbrush and looked directly at his mother, "All your choices are from your own heart, why use me as a cover?" ”

"Evil Barrier!" Concubine Lu stretched out her hand and slapped her son, "What kind of evil did you fall for today, dare to be so rude to your mother!" ”

Zhu Yunwen instinctively covered his face, and then quickly let go, and sneered: "Finally disdain even the last cover-up, mother." ”

Mother's words are extremely heavy, and the warmth and vein of weekdays are completely different, Concubine Lu felt cold, and even more weak, she shook her head again and again in disbelief, "No, it's not like this, who is it?" Did this little slut say something to you? You must not believe her, she seems to be tranquil and has no quarrel with the world, but in fact, she has a ghost in her heart, and she is cheeky to stay in the East Palace by taking care of the aquatic life, bent on seducing your father, planning to ascend to the position of the crown princess, and supporting the aquatic princess in the future to consolidate the status of the Chang family. ”

"Don't talk about her like that!" Zhu Yunwen was furious, "You are vicious, don't think that everyone in the world is like you and will do anything for the sake of profit!" ”

"Unscrupulous?" Concubine Lu laughed angrily, "Yes, I'm unscrupulous, but am I doing it for myself?" It's not for your future prospects! ”

"Nope! You're doing it for yourself! Tiger poison doesn't eat children, you are not even as good as a tiger! Zhu Yunwen took out a baby dress that had been spit out from his arms, "This is what I took off from the aquatic body, and there is catnip residue on it!" Cats and tigers who have eaten this stuff are extremely excited, and this beast loves this taste the most. So the tigers come in search of taste, and they happen to appear on the carpet of the lawn, so they will let go of the weak palace maids and go straight to the carriage, because their goal is to be aquatic! 166 Reading Network
