In the middle of summer, on the blue sky, there is a huge sun, the breeze blows slowly, making people feel refreshed, today is the day of hunting and playing, a brown and red bright horse immediately drove Qingcang and Qin Yuan, Qin Yuan snuggled in Qing Cang's arms at the moment, the high and convex abdomen is particularly obvious, a group of people shuttle through the dense forest, the sun shines down from the dense layers of branches and leaves, and the ground is full of sparkling spots of copper coins.

When I arrived at the destination, I only heard Jiang Mofeng shouting in front of me, "Right now is the depths of the dense forest, let's start!" General Xue couldn't hide his excitement for a while, and called out with a smile, "Ha Luha, the person who lost today's hunt is going to have a treat in Zuixiao Tower." Zhang Dehai helped Qin Yuan to get off the horse, because she was pregnant, so her movements were extremely slow, and Qing Cang on the horse said with a little worry, "I said that I am with you in the house, you are paranoid and want to come, it is too inconvenient to be pregnant in the deep mountains and dense forests." ”

Qin Yuan stood under the horse and said with a smile, "The emperor likes to shoot and hunt, how can this concubine disturb your interest?" Besides, the concubines also want to come out and breathe the air. ”

At this time, I only heard Xue Musheng calling loudly in the distance, "Your Majesty, if you don't keep up, you will have a treat tonight." Qing Cang then waved his hand to go over immediately, and after taking the quiver, he said softly to Qin Yuan, "You must be careful, you must take care of yourself, and I will come to you later." Qin Yuan nodded slightly, tenderness like water, "Well, you can rest assured that Yuru and Zhang Dehai are by your side, don't lose, the concubine didn't bring money out today." Qing Cang smiled softly, "You underestimate me too much." Then he raised his leather whip, galloped away, and disappeared into the dense forest.

Qin Yuan then walked very slowly towards the dense forest, in the woods, through the silence, looking up, the sun is shining through the shade between the leaves, like stars twinkling in the sky, a little dazzling, but very crystal beautiful, through the elusive quiet, the light and shadow that shines down, looming left and right melodiously swaying, the hare hiding behind the bushes, looking around with timid eyes, not only to come out to forage or to enjoy a tender green scenery nearby, from this end of the woods to that end, the endless green seems a little hollow.

Qin Yuan was in a good mood for a while, turned a forest, and heard the sound of horses' hooves, occasionally there would be familiar sounds, and there was an excited shout, Zhang Dehai said on the side, "The emperor and General Xue should be hunting nearby, the master must be tired after walking so far, or let's rest here." ”

Qin Yuan nodded in agreement, looking at the gurgling stream in the distance, Qin Yuan walked to the river and sat down, the stream was very cool, so clear that you could clearly see the underwater appearance, occasionally a few small fish swam by, accompanied by the sound of gurgling water, disappeared in the stream, Qin Yuan leaned down and soaked her hand in the stream, the cold and clear feeling came from between her fingers, the hot summer instantly felt extremely refreshing, Qin Yuan was in great interest, and then took off her shoes, soaked her feet in the stream, saw a few fish swimming, Qin Yuan suddenly raised her feet and splashed, The frightened fish fled in a panic, and Qin Yuan smiled sweetly for a while.

"Everyone's ladies actually slippers and playing in the water, if others look at it, won't they laugh at you?" , Qin Yuan looked back when she heard the voice, it turned out to be her eldest brother Xue Musheng, Qin Yuan smiled and said, "My sister is also on a whim." Xue Musheng carefully took Qin Yuan's feet up from the stream, took out a silk scarf and dried them carefully, "Quickly put on your shoes, now that you are pregnant, it will not be good if you catch a cold." ”

Qin Yuan then obediently put on her shoes, looked at Xue Musheng and said with a smile, "It's still the eldest brother who is the best for Yuan'er." Xue Musheng then got up, stretched out his hand and spread his palm, "Come, join them with the eldest brother, you will be in trouble if you get lost here." Qin Yuan then put his arm on Xue Musheng, Xue Musheng used a little force, Qin Yuan was pulled up, and the two walked slowly side by side chatting.

Qin Yuan said with a smile, "Eldest brother doesn't go hunting, aren't you afraid that you will lose?" Xue Musheng smiled disapprerovingly, "Eldest brother finally had an opportunity to be alone with you, how could he miss it?" Qin Yuan then smiled sweetly, since he was a child, Xue Musheng has loved Qin Yuan's sister very much, if Qin Yuan wants the moon in the sky, Xue Musheng will be obligated to take it off.

"In the past few years for my brother to go to the border, Yuan'er is doing well?" , Xue Musheng's sudden interrogation made Qin Yuan's smile gradually dissipate, and then he smiled a little bitterly, "Didn't you see the good and bad eldest brother?" ”

"Brother Wei thinks that Yuan'er is quite happy now, she has become a favorite concubine when she enters the palace, and she follows her father's wishes, and the eldest brother is relieved."

"Happiness? Oh, my sister doesn't know what it's like to be happy, and the eldest brother knows the days of deceit in the Lu Dao Palace, and even his breath is calculated. ”

"You have to remember, things are man-made, since everything can't follow your wishes, why not live in front of you, and finally be able to come to the world for a walk, but you can't be too mediocre, now that you are pregnant with the emperor's heir, and you have to be favored, the day of the concubine is just around the corner, if you want to live a smooth life in a place like the palace, power and status are important."

"I don't need to mention these truths by my eldest brother, my sister naturally understands."

Xue Musheng then curled the corners of his mouth slightly, and changed his words, "But from the emperor's usual treatment of you, you can see that the emperor has some true feelings for you." A chuckle flashed at the corner of Qin Yuan's mouth, "It's just an illusion, after all, staying in the mansion is also going to make a show for everyone to see." ”

Xue Musheng then raised his lips meaningfully and said, "Even if you are acting, you can do it for a while, if you do it for two whole months, you will show your flaws, Yuan'er, as a brother, he is a man, he naturally understands how men express their emotions, he is the emperor, and some words will naturally not be spoken in person." ”

Qin Yuan sighed softly, "Just because he is the emperor, he is destined to be unable to favor only one woman in this life, and my sister feels that life in the palace is much better than in the palace." ”

"If you say that, it is enough to prove that you have feelings for the emperor." , Qin Yuan didn't reply, her eyes rolled back and forth in her eye sockets, and the dark tide surged in her heart, and at this moment, even she didn't know exactly whether the answer was yes or no.

Xue Musheng then spoke, "I heard that the emperor insisted on returning to the palace, but you refused?" Qin Yuan nodded slowly, Qing Cang intended to return to the palace last night, but was vetoed by himself, Qin Yuan then said, "My sister is very disgusted with the palace now, and it is a day to be able to take a day." ”

"Then do you know that now that the rebels in the southwest have infiltrated the capital, if the emperor does not return to the palace at this moment, not only will he be unsafe, but he will also leave a chance for the rebels."

"Then wouldn't it be good for him to go back to the palace by himself, why do you have to take his sister with him?"

At this time, I only heard a loud exclamation not far away, "There are assassins, protect the emperor quickly!" Xue Musheng's expression suddenly turned to surprise, and he hurriedly ran forward regardless of Qin Yuan.

When Qin Yuan heard that there was an assassin, she was even more anxious for a while, and trotted forward with her round belly to find out, and the dyed frost beside her was extremely worried, "Master, you slow down and be careful." Zhang Dehai also dissuaded, "Master, there are assassins ahead, you better hide." ”

Qin Yuan didn't listen to the persuasion of the two, and retorted loudly, "No, the emperor is in danger, and this concubine has to go and take a look." ”

It's a lot of effort, Qin Yuan rushed to the scene, only to see Jiang Mofeng, Xue Musheng is fighting with a man, Qing Cang and General Xue are fighting with another man, these two men are very strong in martial arts, even two against one failed to defeat it, I saw that at this time Qing Cang rose into the air, swirled in the air, and waved a brilliant light curtain, and then the long sword waved, the dazzling sword rushed straight up, hitting the enemy's chest, Jiang Mofeng on the side saw the opportunity, raised the bow and arrow and shot over, the sharp arrow hit the enemy's forehead, and the enemy knelt down and died.

There was only one enemy left at the moment, and Qing Cang said in an indifferent tone, "Prince Southwest, no matter how strong your martial arts are, you can't beat the four of us." The prince of the southwest smiled indifferently, "I didn't expect the Central Plains Emperor's martial arts to be so superb, he can't ask for your life, but also for your child's life." ”

I saw that the southwest prince's arms were thrown out towards Qin Yuan, and countless short needles flew out of the cuffs, all of which were highly poisonous, and Qin Yuan was so frightened that he hurriedly covered his eyes, and everyone was shocked, but because the hidden weapon flew too fast, he couldn't stop it at all, only to hear Xue Musheng roar loudly, "Sister, run!" Qin Yuan panicked for a moment and hurriedly ran to the side, while Zhang Dehai and Yuru hurriedly stepped forward and waved their swords to resist.

How do you know that the southwest prince saw the opportunity, jumped and swung his sword towards Qin Yuan, saying that it was too late and that was fast, the southwest prince flew fast in the air, even if Xue Musheng stepped forward to catch up, but it was still a step too late, Qing Cang was anxious at the moment, desperately jumped and flew in the direction of Qin Yuan, General Xue picked up the bow and arrow behind him at this time and shot it, the sword was in the chest of the southwest prince, even though the southwest prince fell from mid-air, just when everyone was about to relax, how did he know that the southwest prince flew out of the sword in his hand, Xue Musheng shouted: "Not good!" Then he swung his sword and angrily cut off the head of the southwest prince.

At this time, the sword flew towards Qin Yuan like a fire, Qin Yuan was already unable to escape at this moment, standing in place with his eyes closed in fear, Dye Frost hurriedly stepped forward to protect Qin Yuan with his body, only to hear a man roar of pain, someone exclaimed, "Your Majesty!" ”

Qin Yuan then opened his eyes and looked, only to see that the sword had been inserted in Qing Cang's chest, and the ground was already soaked in blood, Qin Yuan's head suddenly exploded, and he hurriedly ran to Qing Cang's side, tears and pear blossoms poured down with rain, and his lips trembled and said, "No...... No...... How can this be, can't ......", Qing Cang endured the pain and said intermittently, "You...... You're fine...... Only...... That's it. ”

The Qin Yuan assassin had long since stopped crying and roared, "Why are you so stupid! Qing Cang was about to smile at Qin Yuan, but before he could bend the corners of his mouth, he felt a strong stabbing pain in his chest, and then a large mouthful of blood gushed out of his mouth, and he instantly fainted in a pool of blood.
