Chapter 062: The Guardian Demon Xie Family Daughter
"Please?" Zhao Pei chewed these two words carefully, the expression on his face changed unpredictably, and only after a moment did he ask, "What crime do you want to please?" β
The county lord of Yunluo still lowered his head, and said clearly: "Back to the emperor, this autumn hunt was originally proposed by the courtiers to their father, and the relevant details were also personally asked by the courtiers. Due to the inexperience of the courtiers, such a mistake occurred, causing Miss Sun to be seriously injured and comatose. The courtiers are guilty, and please ask the emperor to punish them! β
At the beginning, when King Beiheng heard the word "please sin", he secretly cursed stupidity in his heart. But after hearing these words, a heart also fell back into the stomach steadily. In any case, it is an indisputable fact that Sun Hengbo had an accident in the hunting ground. Even if the emperor wanted to appease Sun Mingyuan, he was bound to blame him.
But if the person who led the autumn hunt became his daughter, it would be a different matter.
After all, a man's career is extremely important, and once he is held accountable, he will definitely be greatly affected. can be replaced by a woman who does not set foot in the court, even if the emperor wants to punish, what can he punish?
Thinking of this, King Beiheng also breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at the Yunluo County Lord's eyes full of relief.
And Xie Fenghua saw his relaxed expression from the side, and quickly understood what he was thinking, and at the same time had a deeper understanding of this Yunluo County Lord.
- Thoughtful, courageous, weighing the pros and cons, he is really a powerful person.
Vaguely, she felt that the matter was probably over.
But where could she have thought that so many things had happened one after another in the past few days, and Zhao Pei was already annoyed. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Beiheng Wangfu can't completely pick up the involvement in these matters, and he is also annoyed at the moment, and he can't doubt it: "The lord of Yunluo County is not in a good position, but in the hard work of planning the autumn hunt, I will not pursue too much, and I will go and get the twenty boards!" β
"Your Majestyβ"
The county lord of Yunluo was still happy in his heart, feeling that Zhao Pei would not embarrass himself. But after hearing these words, he suddenly raised his head in disbelief, and said with a disgraced face: "Your Majesty, the courtiers ......."
"The county lord seems to have an opinion?" Xie Fenghua seized the opportunity to sarcastically mock her.
When the county lord of Yunluo heard this, he immediately glared at Xie Fenghua hatefully.
At this moment, she seemed to have lost her sense of proportion, her eyes turned around in a panic a few times, and finally she looked at King Beiheng suddenly, her eyes full of pleading.
Twenty boards, not to mention whether she can stand it, is to be able to stand it, which is also a humiliation for her. Let's ask, whose daughter was punished by the emperor in public with 20 boards? How dare she appear in front of people in the future?
King Beiheng was also unbearable, and was about to open his mouth to intercede for him, but he heard Zhao Pei say coldly: "King Beiheng, as his father, failed to fulfill his responsibility of supervising and auditing, and should be punished." But if you read that the prince has worked in the community, you will be exempted from half a year's salary! β
Although the king of Beiheng is not involved in the political affairs of the court, he is the only king with a different surname in the Liang Dynasty, and he has led the court from beginning to end to show his favor.
But what he cared about was not that little bit of money, but that Zhao Pei punished him so unceremoniously, and he had already trampled his face under his feet. Especially when he felt all kinds of sights in the tent, he longed to find a crack to get into.
Sun Mingyuan is a little unwilling, but he can be a courtier, and he still has the knowledge and advance and retreat that he should have. He also knew that Zhao Pei had uncharacteristically saved the face of King Beiheng, but in fact gave him an explanation.
He was grateful.
But this did not mean that he could allow the King of Beiheng to have any thoughts of rebellion. After thinking about it for a while, he sneered at King Beiheng and said, "The prince still doesn't thank the emperor?" Don't you have any objections to the emperor's will? β
King Beiheng suddenly came back to his senses, glared at him viciously, and reluctantly thanked him with an old face.
Du Huaishao knelt on the ground, watching the minds and tricks of these people coming and going, and a sense of resentment suddenly surged in his chest. Although he knew that this was an irrevocable result, he still did not give up and said: "Your Majesty, Miss Sun is still unconscious......
"Report!" Before he could finish speaking, a loud and hurried voice suddenly came from outside the tent, and then a palace person walked in quickly, and reported, "Your Majesty, Imperial Doctor Xu has sent a message, saying that Miss Sun seems to be showing signs of waking up......"
Sun Mingyuan was suddenly overjoyed, saluted Zhao Peihastily, and walked out in a hurry.
When the curtain swayed, the silver-white moonlight came in, and it also reflected the ruthlessness and viciousness that flashed on Du Huaishao's face. Xie Fenghua blinked, couldn't help but look at it for a while, and then heard Zhao Pei waving his hand tiredly, so he could only withdraw from the tent with everyone.
The ministers walked towards their tents in groups of three or five, Xie Fenghua walked a few steps, but stopped, and looked directly at the Yunluo County Lord who came from Huanting.
Xu was no one else present, and the county lord of Yunluo also took off the disguise in front of the person, his eyes were as cold and cold as a poisonous snake, and he was unconsciously wrapping around Xie Fenghua's body.
It's a pity that Xie Fenghua didn't take her threat seriously, looked up at the bright moon in the sky, and said lightly: "Just now, the county lord really impressed me!" β
The county lord of Yunluo then sneered, "Young Lady Yuan is not far behind. I thought you were a loving and righteous person, who would have thought that when death was imminent, you would be so timid as to pull people back. In this case, you are nothing more than that! β
Her chin was slightly raised, her eyes were full of contempt, and she seemed to be a little unwilling, and a variety of complex emotions were intertwined on her face, which forcibly destroyed the beauty of the whole face.
Xie Fenghua chuckled, but said, "County Lord, it seems that you don't know me very well." Everyone knows that I have always been a man who will repay me, and some accounts will always be recovered. β
"Then I'll see." The county lord of Yunluo snorted coldly, and left calmly with the hem of his skirt.
She didn't believe that the person in front of her could break through the situation!
Xie Fenghua naturally knew why she was so fearless, but she didn't have any clue at the moment, so she could only suppress this anger for the time being. When he turned around, he saw Du Huaishao standing in the corner of Sun Hengbo's tent not far away, and did not leave immediately.
She was suspicious in her heart, and walked over quietly, but saw that Du Huaishao noticed her existence and immediately left the tent. She pursed her lips and followed.
The two walked to a relatively hidden and quiet grass one after the other, and between their eyes, Du Huaishao took the lead in speaking, "Young Lady Yuan, follow along, but do you have any advice?" β
"Don't you have something to say to me?" Xie Fenghua clasped his arms and looked at him for a long time.
Xu didn't expect her to be so direct, Du Huaishao had a trace of embarrassment on his face, then looked away, and said a little embarrassed: "What does Young Lady Yuan think, what will happen today?" β
Xie Fenghua was stunned, and then shook his head, "Not well." β
If there is evidence to find out who is behind the scenes, there may be room for reversal. But there is no evidence at the moment, and this is the final result.
Du Huaishao grimaced and said sarcastically: "I heard that Mrs. Yuan and Miss Sun have a good relationship, but I didn't expect to be such a cold-blooded and ruthless person." You know that she was framed, why don't you find out the truth for her? β
ββIt looks like a teacher asks for sin.
Xie Fenghua was stunned for a moment, and quickly asked, "It seems that you know all this by heart." It must also be clear that in the absence of any evidence, rash action is the most stupid act. β
Du Huaishao was originally quite disdainful of her inaction, but when he heard these words at this moment, he was stunned for a while.
Is this what it means to wait for an opportunity?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but exclaim, "You...... You don't have ......."
"What am I?" Xie Fenghua stood with his hands in his hands, his eyes were like water, and he said lightly, "Hengbo is a good girl, as a friend, I naturally hope that her murderer can be brought to justice." But now that I am not familiar with the place and can't find the slightest evidence, what else can I do? You can't open the king's tent and rely on a mouth to win back a game, right? β
It wasn't until this moment that Du Huaishao realized that he seemed to be out of proportion, and he was ashamed for a while, and he didn't say anything anymore, and turned around to leave.
Xie Fenghua stopped him, "You seem to be very concerned about Hengbo's affairs?" β
Du Huaishao's body stiffened, turned his head to look at her, and asked with the corners of his mouth: "Is Young Lady Yuan idle enough to inquire about these irrelevant things?" β
"It's not inconsequential." Xie Fenghua immediately corrected him, there was not the slightest hint of joke on his face, and said solemnly, "You should know that there are some things that cannot be forced. What's more, she has already made a family relationship with someone, and if necessary, she should avoid suspicion. β
Seeing that Du Huaishao's face sank a little more, she continued: "I heard that her life was saved by her. So, as a reward for saving your life, you shouldn't cause her any trouble, right? β
Under such a bright and clear gaze, Du Huaishao originally wanted to quibble, but he had to swallow it back into his stomach. He found that in front of this woman, all the justifications and cover-ups were tantamount to self-inflicted humiliation.
Yes, he simply didn't hide anything, and said bluntly: "Don't worry." I'm not a good person, but I know what to do and what not to do. Since she saved this life, I'll just give it back to her when I find a chance. β
With that, he strode away.
Xie Fenghua stood in place, looking at his back thoughtfully, and only walked away after a long time.
After Sun Hengbo's accident, the so-called autumn hunt could not be carried out. Zhao Pei issued an order, everyone rested in place, and after Sun Hengbo was out of danger, he returned to Yunzhou City.
Such a will can be regarded as an explanation to Sun Mingyuan.
Xie Fenghua walked alone on the grassland not far from the camp.
At this moment, night falls, the crescent moon hangs high, like the moonlight pouring down, lining the hunting ground with a little more autumn tranquility and peace. In the tent not far away, all the candles have been lit, and at a glance, the stars are dotted, as if the sky stretches and the stars fall, and the indescribable beauty and nature are natural.
It's just that she has those few things in her heart, and she has no intention of looking at the surrounding scenery.
Unconsciously, she came to the place where Sun Hengbo had an accident.
At this moment, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves behind her, and she looked back, but saw Yuan Minzhou riding a horse, his long narrow eyes shining in the dark night.
He seems to have just come back from errands, wearing a navy blue cloak at the moment, looking at her with the corners of his eyes slightly raised, his lips pursed lightly, as if smiling rather than smiling, the black eyes under the thick eyebrows are like ink that is so thick that it can't be dissolved, elegant with evil charm, handsome with a hint of mystery.
From a distance, there is a kingly aura that is mighty in the world.
Xie Fenghua blinked, it was the first time he saw his domineering momentum, and he couldn't help but take a few more looks. A man and a horse soon walked in front of him, but he saw him bending down slightly and stretching out his hand, and actually took her to the back of the horse.
"You ......" Xie Fenghua's wandering mind finally returned, but he found that he was hugged by him, and he twisted his body a little uncomfortably, "Master Hou, what are you doing here?" Why is it so ......?"
Suddenly, her face turned red in the night.
In the past, she never thought that Yuan Minzhou had the ability to charm people's hearts, but it wasn't until just now, when she said those words inadvertently, she was suddenly shocked, and after her sanity returned, she felt that she was extremely hypocritical.
She is not a person who twists, she doesn't have much concept of the defense of men and women, and after a short period of brain dizziness, she also sits comfortably against him, trying to find a topic, so as to dispel the embarrassment that is invisible.
I only heard her ask: "Master Hou, you seem to be very busy these days?" β
She noticed that since he came to Yunzhou, he had always seen the dragon without seeing the end. After all, this was the first time he had seen him in the afternoon.
Yuan Minzhou loosened the reins, let the horses under the seat bow their heads to graze, and said lightly: "I have long known that you have a sharp mind and can't hide anything from you." β
Xie Fenghua broke free from his arms, his eyes burned, and said, "Can Master Hou tell me?" β
"It's about the king of Beiheng." Yuan Minzhou's gaze fell into the distance, and he said without shock, "Actually, this is also what the emperor meant." King Beiheng has been entrenched in Yunzhou for many years, and no one knows what the situation is here. Somebody has to find out......"
So, this errand task fell to the famous Dingyuan Marquis?
Although he knew that it was a court political matter, Xie Fenghua was still a little awkward in his heart, and hurriedly persuaded him, "If there is such a thing next time, you will directly refuse it!" You are not the only one in the court, so why do you have to bow down to everything? β
The most important thing is that Zhao Pei sat in that position, and someone helped him do everything, which made her extremely uncomfortable.
Why should you listen to him?
Yuan Minzhou was stunned, and when he saw her looking like a calf protector, he couldn't help laughing, "Are you angry with the emperor?" It's not a big deal, and the emperor's will can't be disobeyed, right? β
"Why not?" Xie Fenghua looked up at him and said puzzledly, "You just said directly, it's what I meant, isn't it okay?" β
She probably didn't even realize that after saying this, she had become a husband maniac.
Yuan Minzhou hurriedly responded, remembering what she said, he couldn't hold back for a while, and laughed out loud.
The voice was low and mellow, like a lover's whisper in a quiet night, floating into his ears, Xie Fenghua only felt like he had drunk old wine, and the whole person began to get drunk.
The fluttering feeling bypassed his mind, and suddenly, the whole body shook, and the horse under the seat shook up suddenly, Xie Fenghua didn't grab the reins of the horse, and threw it out directly from the horse.
"Yinghua!" Yuan Minzhou's pupils contracted suddenly, his feet kicked the horse's body, and he jumped into the air in the direction where Xie Fenghua was thrown out, and finally caught her body in mid-air, and the two of them fell straight down.
But they didn't want to, and the horse suddenly rushed towards them as if it had been stimulated by something. The bodies of the two fell halfway, and their feet were in the air, and they could not use their skills for the time being, and there was no time to dodge the fierce horses.
At this critical moment, Yuan Minzhou suddenly flipped the body in his arms, firmly clamped Xie Fenghua to his chest, and kicked towards the horse. Hearing only a bang, Xie Fenghua felt a violent earthquake in the body behind him, and then the two of them landed, but Yuan Minzhou behind him suddenly fell on top of her.
"Master Hou, how are you?"
Xie Fenghua noticed that the horse was being kicked to the opposite side, and at this moment he was turning in a frenzied circle, and his heart was in a hurry, so he moved Yuan Minzhou to a safer place with a tug, and when he looked at it, the blood on his little face suddenly faded away.
Her hands trembled, but she didn't know where to go, and the wild neighing of the horses filled her eardrums, and her mind was so confused that she couldn't think of anything.
Seeing this, Yuan Minzhou put his hand on the back of her hand, as if injected with the power of stability, and comforted: "Don't panic. I'm fine. It's good to take a break. β
Xie Fenghua took a deep breath, the wind of the autumn night penetrated into his heart, as if it had a calming effect, the tense and fluctuating mood gradually calmed down, and he carefully checked his body at the moment, and said in a low voice: "It's really okay, right?" Why don't I carry you back first and let Imperial Doctor Xu check it out? β
"It's fine."
Yuan Minzhou's face was a little pale, but her spirit was not bad, so she also put her mind at ease, and then she had time to look at the manic horse, and a trace of murder flashed in her eyes.
Something went wrong here again!
If he wasn't sure what the problem was before, after this incident, Xie Fenghua could basically target this grassland. But what is it about this that stimulates the horse?
Following her line of sight, Yuan Minzhou also noticed that something was wrong, and couldn't help asking, "Today, Miss Sun also had an accident like this?" β
"Yes." Xie Fenghua stretched out his hand to help him up, looked at the horse, and said thoughtfully, "Presumably Changying has already told you the ins and outs." What do you think will go wrong with this pasture? β
Yuan Minzhou thought for a while, and then said, "It's hard to say. I'll let Changying check it out. β
"Then I'll help you go back first."
At this time, Changying had already appeared in front of the two, and after receiving Yuan Minzhou's instructions, he stayed in the pasture and tried to subdue the horse.
Xie Fenghua took his arm and walked towards the tent of the two.
She wanted to ask someone to invite Imperial Physician Xu, but she heard that Sun Hengbo's situation seemed to be a little worse, and at this moment, Imperial Physician Xu was staying with Sun Mingyuan, and after thinking about it, she could only do it herself.
In the past, when the army was marching and fighting, this kind of thing was not undone, and she quickly found a medicine, and carefully and gently untied Yuan Minzhou's clothes.
Neither of them spoke, and at first she was a little embarrassed, but when she saw the purple bruise on his back, she almost poured the medicine directly with trembling hands.
She should have thought that the horse just now was fierce, and the two of them could escape from under the horse's hooves, how could they do it without a strong enough confrontation force?
It's just that he didn't expect that he would use his body to resist, just in front of her.
For a while, a strange feeling surged in her heart, but her subordinates began to get busy, "I'll give you a brief treatment of the wound first." If it hurts, you can say it, and I'll be gentle. β
Yuan Minzhou snorted and stared at her softly.
In the dim candlelight in the tent, she bit her lip slightly, unusually cold, and her long and thick eyelashes cast two rows of shadows on her face, suddenly a little less sharp and cold, and a little more warm and soft.
His eyes swept over the two shadows on the tent, only to find that they were so close together that they seemed to be snuggling up to each other, adding an indescribable warmth.
In the silence, he could feel the weight of her hand, and her bare skin was stained with the night wind, but she brushed it so gently, as if the cold was gradually getting hotter, and in an instant it flowed all over the limbs.
He closed his eyes, quietly felt the tenderness of the moment, and a trace of vague fragrance penetrated into his nose, and suddenly, he thought of the beautiful picture, and remembered the only time the two of them were in love.
In the middle of the ghost's mission, he opened his eyes suddenly, grabbed the hand, and hurriedly shouted, "Fenghua ......"
These two words are uttered completely out of control. When he reacted, his whole body shook violently, and he quickly let go of the hand and looked away in a panic.
And Xie Fenghua also forgot to move, there seemed to be a trace of temperature left on his hands, and his emotions were surging and fluctuating at the moment, and he didn't know how to calm down for a while. She threw away the things in her hand indiscriminately, stood up straight, and then said, "I'll go and see, is Mrs. Xu empty at this time?" β
As she spoke, she glanced back at the annoyed man who bowed her head and strode out.
Yuan Minzhou heard the footsteps gradually disappearing, and then slowly turned around, looking at the tent door with deep eyes, and didn't know what he was thinking.
After Xie Fenghua came out, he found a stone between the tents and sat on it with a big grin.
The two words that came out of Yuan Minzhou's mouth just now have become the source of confusion at this moment, forcing her to laugh or sigh. She thought that after getting married, Yuan Minzhou's feelings for herself in her previous life should slowly fade over time, but it wasn't until this moment that she realized that it wasn't the case.
This person's obsession is really deep in the bone marrow!
I didn't dare to tell him his true identity before, but I was afraid that he wouldn't dare to believe these strange things. But now it seems that there are some things in front of me, and I am afraid that I have to say them in advance.
Thinking so, she suddenly heard a sound of footsteps in her ears, she raised her eyes to look, but saw Changying walking briskly towards this side, with a serious look on his face, and a handful of grass in his hand, when he saw her, he hurriedly walked in front of her, and said in a low voice: "Young lady, things have progressed." β
Xie Fenghua's heart moved, and he walked back to the tent.
At that time, Yuan Minzhou had already packed himself up, and was sitting with his forehead up, when he saw the two of them coming in, his eyes flashed, and he asked, "Is there a result?" β
Changying nodded, handed the handful of grass in his hand to the two of them, and said: "The subordinates have confirmed, the grass in that grassland has been manipulated and sprinkled with medicine, and it is a horse that will be stimulated and become manic if it eats it." β
