The two talked for a while, and suddenly some voices came from outside. It stands to reason that Yifang has already slept, and even if there is no special order, no one will come to disturb him. But now that the sound outside is getting closer and closer, Yifang thought about it for a while, and hurriedly asked Deng Tong to leave. At this time, there is no one else who can come here except Liu Heng.

Sure enough, just a second after Deng Tong walked through the window, Liu Heng pushed open the door and walked in, and Yifang hurriedly lay back on the bed, closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep.

"Yifang, have you slept?" Liu Heng sat on the edge of the bed.

Hearing this, Yifang pretended to have just woken up, rubbing his eyes and looking at him: "Why is the king here?" ”

"Sleep as soon as you come back, are you tired today?" Liu Heng helped her tuck the quilt.

"I don't know why, I just feel sleepy." Yifang sat up with his body propped up.

"Even if you are sleepy, you can't let this window open at night." Liu Heng caught a glimpse of the window that was blown open and closed by the wind, walked straight over and closed it, and when he withdrew his hand, he saw a trace of fabric sandwiched between the gaps in the window. Liu Heng was suspicious, and quietly put away the fabric carefully before returning to the bedside.

"The king is careful, but the concubine is negligent." Yifang leaned lazily on the head of the bed, his eyes caught a glimpse of the clothes that Liu Heng hurriedly put into his sleeves, but there were alarm bells in his heart.

"That's it, you're really tired today, take a good rest!" Liu Heng originally came to talk to Yifang, but now he is in no mood anymore, he just wants to hurry up and see who this clothing comes from.

Out of the gate of Yifang's residence, Wu Ping was waiting to take a nap here, and when he heard Liu Heng's voice, he quickly cheered up. He would always squint his eyes and rest for a while after Liu Heng went to see Yifang, who knew that he would come out so quickly today.

"The king doesn't look very happy?" Liu Heng walked fast in front, and Wu Ping trotted to catch up, and found that his expression was not quite right.

"You say, how sincere are Su Meiren to this king?" Liu Heng suddenly asked such a sentence without a head.

"Su Mei is the king's concubine, so she naturally treats the king wholeheartedly." Wu Ping wiped a handful of fine sweat from his forehead.

"Really?" Liu Heng pinched the light blue cloth, "It would be nice if it was really wholeheartedly, but it's a pity that ......"

"What's the matter with the king?" Wu Ping asked cautiously.

"This king is fine." Liu Heng took out the fabric and showed it to Wu Ping, "Have you ever seen such material?" ”

Wu Ping took the clothes, took a closer look at the lantern next to him, and suddenly laughed: "Wang Shang and Lord Deng really have a deep relationship, they just met during the day, and Wang Shang still has Lord Deng's clothes!" ”

"Deng Tong?" Liu Heng quickly snatched the cloth over to check, if it was so, no wonder he always felt that this clothing seemed to have been seen somewhere, it turned out to be Deng Tong's.

Liu Heng stopped, he remembered what Deng Tong had said during the day, although it was half a joke, but he also showed that he wanted to take Yifang away and fly away. Now that Yifang is his concubine, Deng Tong still wants to take her away, you can imagine what kind of story they will have when they were in Chang'an in the past.

"Your Majesty? Your Majesty? Wu Ping shouted several times, and Liu Heng gradually came back to his senses.

"Don't tell anyone about the meeting between this king and Deng Tong today." Liu Heng gave an expression of advice, and strode back to his residence. He held the fabric tightly in his hand, as if he was holding an ethereal bond, and it was this bond that connected Yifang and Deng Tong.

At night, Wu Ping was always worried about Liu Heng's mood today, so he asked someone to cook some lotus seed soup and send it to him, could it be that he was still staring at the clothes in a daze. There was still a day before the hunt began, and Liu Heng had already confirmed the relevant matters with the ministers, and it would not hurt to say that he was in a trance at this time, but Wu Ping finally felt that he was a little strange today.

"Your Majesty, the servant brought you some lotus seed soup." Wu Ping put the lotus seed soup in front of Liu Heng, but he was indifferent, and he didn't react until Wu Ping called him twice.

"What's the matter with the king?" Wu Ping was really worried.

Liu Heng was trying to find someone to talk to at this time, and he happened to come over, so he put the clothes on the table.

"Wu Ping, you have been with this king for many years, and you have known a lot about this king over the years, whether it is the affairs of the court or the private affairs of this king." As soon as Liu Heng said this, Wu Ping suddenly became nervous.

"Your Majesty, the slave knows many things, but the slave is loyal to the king and will never betray!"

Liu Heng waved his hand at him: "You don't need to be so nervous, this king just said it casually, and he didn't mean anything else." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Wu Ping was relieved.

"Do you remember when this king arranged Deng Tong to go to Chang'an?" Liu Heng never remembered these details, but Wu Ping always remembered them clearly, and his excellent memory was also a great benefit for him to be able to stay by his side all the time.

"Back to the king, it was the spring of three years ago."

"Yes, it's been three years, he's been in Chang'an for three years, what's impossible!" Liu Heng sighed.

Wu Ping thought about it carefully and guessed: "The king is so worried, is he worried that Lord Deng will betray?" ”

Liu Heng chuckled and shook his head: "This king grew up with him since he was a child, so he naturally understands that he will not betray this king." But if it's for the sake of feelings......"

Wu Ping is wise and foolish on weekdays, and he pretends to be unable to see through everything, but at this time, he really wants to solve Liu Heng's problems. He looked at the light blue cloth in Liu Heng's hand, thinking that this clothing only appeared when Liu Heng came out of Yifang's residence, and realized that Deng Tong and Yifang were both from Chang'an, and his heart was suddenly shocked.

"Wouldn't the king be suspicious of Lord Deng and Su Meiren......?"

Liu Heng didn't speak, which can be regarded as a tacit acquiescence. Suspicion is like a big net, which is caught in it when people are not aware of it, and then tightens more and more, completely destroying the relationship between people.

"Your Majesty, the minion has a lot of words, but it's just a trace of clothing, and it doesn't prove anything at all, so don't worry about it." Wu Ping said earnestly, "And Lord Deng and Su Meiren are both very important people to the king, if you doubt it easily, I'm afraid it will hurt their hearts!" ”

"But this king found Deng Tong's clothes in the crack of the window in Yi's house." Liu Heng didn't want to say more, but the matter had come to this point, and he really wanted to find someone to talk about his feelings.

"Lord Deng has been in Chang'an for a long time, and he has known Su Meiren before. And Su Meiren, as the emperor's concubine, can't openly meet with Lord Deng to catch up with the old days, maybe she just came to see the old man secretly. Wu Ping recalled Deng Tong's cynical appearance, "Besides, looking at Lord Deng's appearance, he must be dashing and in the midst of thousands of flowers." There are not a few girls who admire him, and he really doesn't need to risk being unclear with Su Meiren. ”

"There is some truth in what you said, but this king also wants to find out about this matter. However, at this juncture, if this king misunderstands Deng Tong, I am afraid that there will be problems with the deployment of Chang'an. "Liu Heng has always put state affairs first, and children's private feelings second, and now it is the same.

"Yes, and from the perspective of the minions, Lord Deng and Su Mei are not like such indecent people. If the king is impulsive, it will only break the hearts of the two of them! Wu Ping put the lotus seed soup back in front of Liu Heng.

"This king also believes that Yifang and Deng Tong are not like that." He fed a spoonful of lotus seed soup into his mouth, and the sweet and bitter taste spread throughout his mouth, which immediately made him feel refreshed.

Liu Heng recalled the conversation with Deng Tong during the day, and he directly asked about the current situation of Yifang. If the two of them were not clear, they would definitely not say such eye-catching words, maybe he was really worried. Liu Heng stared at the fabric for a long time, and finally crumpled it into a ball and threw it aside.

Wu Ping watched his movements and knew that he had put it down temporarily. That's fine, you can't affect the next hunt because of this matter, otherwise something happens, and the Queen Mother will have to scold again.

Just after lunch time the next day, Yifang changed into a riding costume and came to Liu Heng excitedly.

"Why did you come here all of a sudden?" Liu Heng was a little surprised, the riding costume that Yifang was wearing today was newly made, which not only flattered her complexion, but also looked neat and generous.

"Your Majesty, tomorrow's hunt will officially begin, although the concubine will not participate, but it can't disgrace the king." Yifang raised the horsewhip in his hand with great interest, "So the concubine thinks about practicing again today, can the king have time to accompany the concubine to ride a horse?" ”

"It's rare that you are willing to take the initiative to practice, and this king should be to accompany you." Liu Heng was fine, but since Yifang had a heart, he also agreed to take her to the hunting ground of Muzhou Hunt, and familiarize herself with the environment over there first, so as not to be overwhelmed tomorrow.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Yifang smiled with satisfaction.

Teng Ling also hooked the corners of his mouth, of course, their trip was not just to practice, but to familiarize themselves with the environment of the hunting ground and find the best place for kite flying. Originally, only the two of them went, and they were still a little apprehensive, worried that the hunting ground was too big and they couldn't find the direction, but now that they were accompanied by Liu Heng, they naturally got twice the result with half the effort.

Now Yifang's horseback riding skills have gradually become proficient, and Liu Heng no longer needs to ride the same horse with her. But if you shoot an arrow on a horse, it's still a bit difficult. In this way, Liu Heng still rode the same horse with her, while correcting her archery posture.

The two practiced for a while, and Yifang began to shoot arrows by himself without relying on Liu Heng's strength. I tried a few times, although the accuracy was not high, but I was able to find the right direction.

Yifang gradually found the fun of archery, and practiced one after another, but it was very fun. Nowadays, there are no animals released in the hunting grounds, and although there are not many prey, one or two rabbits can still be seen scurrying around. Yifang caught a glimpse of something moving behind a tree, and immediately made a silent gesture to Liu Heng.

"Your Majesty, there seems to be a rabbit over there, guess if the concubine can shoot it?" Yifang kept the sound very low, so as not to disturb the prey not far away.

Liu Heng didn't give her face at all, and shook his head with a smile, not believing that she could shoot at all.

Yifang pulled the horse and pretended to be angry, but he secretly made up his mind in his heart that he must take this trophy. She earnestly picked up her bow and carefully aimed at the white hair peeking out from behind the tree. Then he silently counted three times in his heart, and shot the arrow neatly.

"Ahh

Yifang and Liu Heng glanced at each other, their faces were full of horror, it seemed to be a rabbit over there, but they didn't expect someone to be there. They hurriedly dismounted to see what was going on, and in order to successfully shoot the rabbit, Yifang drew his bow to the fullest, and if such a weight were to be shot at a man, it would be terrible.

Hurriedly ran behind the tree, and sure enough, he saw a frightened woman leaning behind him. But fortunately, the arrow was firmly rooted in the tree and did not hurt anyone. Yifang breathed a sigh of relief, and when he looked closely, this woman was actually Wen Jiayi.

Liu Heng frowned as soon as he saw her: "Why did you appear here?" ”

"Your Majesty, concubine, concubine is thinking about hunting tomorrow, so, so come and see the venue first." Wen Jiayi's eyes were a little dodgy.

"That's the king, remember, yes, you don't seem to have participated in this hunt!" Liu Heng's eyes showed a look of suspicion.

Wen Jiayi hurriedly explained: "The concubine didn't participate, but when she watched the game from the sidelines, she also had to ride a horse, so let's take a look first, and I have a good number in my heart." ”

"Really? The king remembers that this land was not allowed to be entered until the hunt, don't you know? ”

"Your Majesty, the concubine doesn't know anything about this!" Wen Jiayi opened his mouth to put aside his mistakes.

"Clueless?" Liu Heng's face turned even colder, "This king of this hunting ground has ordered people to surround it in advance, and there are special guards guarding every place, how did you come in, a little woman?" Could it be that you specially bribed the guards to let you in secretly? ”

Liu Heng had actually determined it in his heart, but he still had to ask her, and sure enough, he saw Wen Jiayi's gaze dodging around. Liu Heng knew it in his heart, and waved his hand at her in annoyance: "Where there are guards, there is naturally a reason why they need to guard, you break in so rashly, if the arrow in Yifang is more accurate, you will not have the life to kneel here and talk to this king now." ”

"If the concubine is at fault, the concubine must remember the king's teachings in the future, and will not do it again, and ask the emperor to forgive her sins." Wen Jiayi knelt down again and again and begged for mercy.

"That's it, you're also hunting for tomorrow, just remember this lesson today, and go back quickly!" Liu Heng waved his hand, Wen Jiayi glanced at the two of them riding and shooting together with envy, and then reluctantly walked out of the hunting ground.

"Your Majesty, it's the concubine who is reckless." Yifang still felt a little guilty in his heart.

"It's none of your business, if she hadn't broken in without following the rules, she wouldn't have been frightened." Liu Heng picked up the sword again and returned to Yifang, "However, this king guessed well, you really didn't shoot." ”
