Chapter 148: The sun and the moon hang in the morning and dusk
The kite was not released and was frightened, Teng Ling went back with Yifang, muttering in his mouth, saying that he had fun these days, but he didn't get things done.
"Okay, I'm fine, it's better to go back sooner, anyway, I can't find another opportunity to fly a kite today." Yifang looked up at the clear sky, the sun gradually disappeared into a cloud, and slowly came out again.
"The king specially ordered me to come, we have to hurry, don't let the king wait." A cheerful female voice entered her ears, and Yi Fang looked in that direction, it was actually Young Envoy Qi who didn't have to come here.
This Muzhou hunt only brought the queen, Yifang, and Wen Jiayi's three female dependents, and there was absolutely no Qi Zhi's name. But listening to the meaning of her words, it was as if the king himself ordered her to be summoned.
"Beauty, let's go over and ask?" Teng Ling also heard this voice, and looked at the appearance of Yifang, as if he was a little puzzled.
"No need, since it is the king's order, it naturally has his reasons, let's not pay attention to it." Yifang was disdainful, but he still wondered in his heart, how could Liu Heng summon Qi Zhi over for no reason!
I didn't think about taking two steps, but I saw a large group of people in front of me, and it seemed that one person was standing in the middle, surrounded by stars and moons. Yifang had to go through this road to get back to the house, and he couldn't avoid it, so he walked straight over. When I looked at the crowd, it turned out to be the Queen Mother who was supposed to be in the palace. She seemed to be in a good mood, talking to some palace people, and the smile on her face couldn't fade away for a long time.
"Concubine see Queen Mother." Yifang went over and bowed according to the number of rituals.
Although the Queen Mother is still indifferent to Yifang these days, since the last time the Ethereal Jade Wine has passed, at least she won't be too embarrassed.
"Aren't you supposed to be in the hunting ground at this time? Why did you come back all of a sudden? The Queen Mother seemed to leisurely pick a flower and handed it to Rong Yang beside her, "The mourning family heard that Heng'er has been teaching you to ride and shoot a few days ago?" ”
"The king has taught the concubine for some time, but the concubine is not good at learning, and she just walked around the hunting ground today, and accidentally fell off the horse and injured her leg, so the king let the concubine come back to rest first." Yifang truthfully informed the Queen Mother.
"That's no way, fortunately, Qi Shao is good at riding and shooting, and the mourning family will bring her with him, so that Heng'er can also have someone by his side, what do you think?" The Queen Mother asked deliberately.
Yifang's face did not change, and Ying Ying bowed: "It is naturally good for the king to have a caring person by his side, but the concubine heard that the queen is also good at riding and shooting, and she has been praised by the king." ”
"The queen is the queen, the mother of a country, so naturally she has more things to take care of, and she can't always be by Heng'er's side." The Queen Mother seems to be intent on promoting Qi Zhi, and Yifang is inconvenient to say more.
"What the Queen Mother said is very true." Yifang responded obediently, thinking that he didn't know when this Qi Zhi climbed up to the Queen Mother, and he was able to let her deliberately bring her here to chase Liu Heng. However, Qi Zhi's thoughts are all written on his face, and he is an easy person to deal with, so there is no need to worry.
"You have no objection to the Mourning Family's move?" The Queen Mother didn't seem to believe Yifang's attitude.
Yifang lowered his eyebrows and said: "Being personally selected by the Queen Mother to serve the king is naturally a blessing for Young Envoy Qi, and the concubine is also happy for her, and even happier for the king." ”
"It seems that you listened to what the mourning family said last time, yes, you go back and rest first!" The Queen Mother finally put her mind at ease.
Yifang smiled and saluted, and walked past the Queen Mother, but then he looked down and frowned. She didn't know what was wrong with her, what she said to the Queen Mother just now should have been what she really thought in her heart, but after she said it, she felt empty in her heart, and even the road in front of her was a little blurred.
"Beauty, what's wrong with you?" Teng Ling finally asked.
"Huh?" Yifang turned his head blankly, "What's wrong?" ”
"You look bad."
"It's nothing, I'm just tired, just go back and rest." Yifang was telling the truth, she was indeed tired, her mind was chaotic, as if she hadn't slept well, and as if she had just woken up.
As she said, as soon as she returned to her lodgings, she hurriedly lay down and rested, until the chaotic thoughts in her head had come to naught, and became a vague shadow in her sleep.
The Yi room slept soundly, so I couldn't hear the sound outside. The people who had returned from the hunting grounds were in a hurry, the queen mother, the king, the queen, and many physicians had gathered in one place, and the ministers who were in high spirits also jumped off their horses, hanging their heads and waiting outside for news.
"Beauty, wake up, it's not good!" With Teng Ling's call one after another, Yifang slowly woke up from his dream.
The sky outside was still bright, and Yifang rubbed his sleepy eyes, and finally got used to the light. Tengling was already in a hurry, and it seemed that something big had happened.
"Tengling, what's going on outside? It seems to be noisy. ”
"Beauty, something is wrong, the eldest prince was caught in a trap and injured his leg in the hunting ground, and the king and queen are in a hurry."
"What? Be...... What for? Yifang thought of the boy who was arguing with his brother with a proud face, and couldn't help but feel sad in his heart, "How is the situation now?" ”
"I don't know the specifics yet, but looking at the looks of those doctors, it seems that the injuries are not good." Teng Ling hurriedly dressed up Yifang, "Beauty, don't worry about this first, now someone is playing right and wrong in front of the emperor, saying that the trap was deliberately placed there by you in order to harm the eldest prince." ”
"Me?" Yifang had just woken up, and his mind was still a little unconscious, but at this time, a spirit was excited, "It turns out that this matter is actually aimed at me, but I pity the eldest prince, because I am going to suffer this crime." ”
"Beauty, don't worry about others now, let's quickly think about how to get out of it!" Tengling was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, and it seemed that rumors had spread all over the world.
"Yifang, there are a few eunuchs outside, let you go over." Zili also hurriedly ran in, it seemed that she already knew what was going on.
Now that such rumors have been spread, it is impossible to ignore the past, and the Queen Mother is also here, she will not turn a blind eye to her grandson. Yifang was not afraid, and after finishing the makeup, he hurried to the eldest prince.
"The courtiers should use all their life's learning to give the best treatment to the eldest prince. It's just the queen mother, and the minister still has to say that the eldest prince's leg is injured like this, even if the ministers do their best, I'm afraid it will be impossible for the eldest prince to walk like a normal person. The first physician looked at the gloomy face of the Queen Mother, and although he was afraid in his heart, he still had to say what he had to say.
"If you can't do it, then change another batch of doctors, no matter what, you must make it get better quickly!" The Queen Mother slapped her palm on the table, and the anger contained in it shocked all the doctors.
"The queen mother is angry, now is not the time to blame the doctors, let's let them take good care of it first!" Liu Heng persuaded at the right time.
Although the Queen Mother was anxious, she was not an unreasonable person, so she waved her hand to let the doctors retreat. She glanced over and saw that the eldest prince was unconscious, and it was all up to the efforts of the doctors. But well, her grandson, who has always loved her, has become like this, and she naturally can't give up except for him to heal him as much as she can.
In the hunting ground, people have been sent to inspect it several times, and there will never be such a thing as a trap, someone must have done it on purpose. And who this person is, we can also know something through the rumors outside.
"You go and call the Su Mei to the mourning family!" The Queen Mother slapped the table again, "The mourning family should ask her why she wants to harm the grandson of the mourning family like this!" ”
"Queen Mother, Su Meiren is already waiting at the door early."
"Let her in."
When Yifang stood at the door and waited, she knew what kind of storm she would face next, and she was fully mentally prepared. After entering the door, I just saw the Queen Mother salute, and a string of prayer beads came directly in front of her, hitting the corner of Yifang's eye, and her tears couldn't stop falling.
"The queen mother is angry, those are just rumors, and this matter is not necessarily done by Su Meiren." Liu Heng hurriedly blocked in front of Yifang, "Please also ask the queen mother to be clear." ”
The Queen Mother was angry at this time, and she didn't think that Yifang was the real murderer who killed the eldest prince, but she just needed to find someone to spread her anger. Now that he was reminded by Liu Heng, he couldn't lose his demeanor as the queen mother, so he looked relieved and raised his hand towards Yifang.
"What do you have to justify?"
"Queen Mother Mingjian, this matter was not done by the concubine." Yifang really didn't do this, so she naturally said it calmly, but the Queen Mother still looked at her with suspicion. After all, it is now Yifang who is the most favored by Liu Heng, and thinking about it is indeed the reason why she is the most harmful prince.
"Since you said you didn't do it, what evidence do you have?" The Queen Mother's eagle-like eyes stared at Yifang tightly, as if she didn't want to miss any of her small movements.
Yifang calmly looked directly at the Queen Mother's gaze: "The concubine dared to ask, what evidence does the Queen Mother have to prove that the concubine did it?" The eldest prince's injury happened in the hunting grounds, and the concubine had already returned to her residence at that time, as the Queen Mother could attest. ”
"You're back, but the trap didn't come back with you." The Queen Mother obviously didn't believe what Yifang said.
"If the Queen Mother insists that the concubine did it, then it doesn't hurt to execute the concubine. It's just that if the real murderer is allowed to get away with it, she will think about harming the eldest prince again in the future, or want to harm other princes, what will happen to the queen mother at that time? Yifang was very nervous when she said this, but judging from her past relationship with the Queen Mother, she was a sensible person. At this time, she was angry and blinded by those rumors, and although it may have collided with her, it may also make her reconsider the whole thing.
"Queen Mother, Su Meiren is reasonable, you better listen to her defense first!" Liu Heng also persuaded on the side.
