On the side, Concubine Yang Shu, who was watching everything with tears in her eyes, finally couldn't help but step forward, Ying Ying bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, although the imperial doctor said so, the concubine always feels that the young slave is kind-hearted and more affectionate. This heart disease, which has not occurred for many years, is probably because he has gotten older in recent years, and his benevolent and friendly heart has become heavier. Yes, it was a person who had no blood relationship with him, but only saved him twice, and was hurt in front of him like His Royal Highness the Prince, which also made him unbearable pain. Your Majesty...... My sister is no longer here, and the concubine dares to beg Your Majesty, pity this child, no matter what, you have to be the master for him! ”

As he spoke, he knelt down on both knees.

Seeing this, Mei Niang realized that the young slave had been injured for herself, and had committed a heart disease for many years, and she felt a pain in her heart at the moment, so she wanted to ask for sin, but who knew that Taizong did not give her such a chance, but hurriedly got up, first watched Cheng Qian half-help the young slave and half hugged her, put it aside Qingque hurriedly pulled it over, and fell asleep on the circle chair with a soft blanket, and then stepped forward to help Yang Shufei and said: "Why does Concubine Ai have such a word?" The young slave's heart disease is just his own emotional injury, so weak, I should have waited for him to wake up, punished him heavily, and exercised strictly. He has no grievances, but what does he have to call the shots? ”

Concubine Yang Shufei slowly got up at this time, wiped her tears and said: "Your Majesty doesn't know, although the concubine doesn't know how the young slave got to that horse, but this horse is frightened, but it is not an accident. Therefore, the concubine did this. ”

When Taizong heard this, his eyebrows tightened, and he subconsciously looked at Mei Niang, who was slowly half-sitting on the bed with the support of Ruian: "Martial arts, can there be such a thing?" ”

Mei Niang didn't speak for a long time, and suddenly heard that Taizong no longer called Mei Niang, and her heart was sour, but she only said: "Back to Your Majesty, there is such a thing." At that time, the concubine accompanied Yuan Chongyi, obeyed His Majesty's holy will, and rode up the mountain in a carriage. When he reached the flat ground in front of the camp tent in the middle of the mountain pass, he suddenly saw the lion skull rushing out, and seeing the horse that Yuan Chongyi was driving, he had no choice but to rely on the shallow equestrian skills he had learned with his father when he was a child, and he jumped on the horse that was driving, cut off the reins of the horse, and tried to lure the lion skull away. Who knew that this horse was quite miraculous, and it attracted all the horses to follow. I had to move to the lion's back, thinking that if I could pull it and let him run, as long as he didn't let go, sooner or later it would be tired. Who knows, but it shocked the prince of Jin...... His Majesty knows what happened next. It's just that in the end, when we ran close to the camp, the prince of Jin heard the prince of Wei calling him, and immediately ran on his horse, but he tripped over something and fell down. ”

In the words, Mei Niang was so sad that she was tired and injured the child, and she refused to mention half a word of her contribution to saving the child. didn't expect her to have such an attitude, which made Taizong look at her even more differently.

Looking at her and nodding, Taizong said in a soft tone: "Thank you for your hard work." I know you're uncomfortable, and I think you got the slave on the horse. But I saw it at the time, and you did a good job. ”

After speaking, gently patted the back of her hand.

Mei Niang burst into tears all of a sudden, and she wanted to flow out.

Seeing her like this, Taizong smiled faintly, turned his head, and before he could speak, he saw Cheng Qian Qingque and Wei Zhaorong kneeling together, each tearfully forgiving their sins.

Taizong's loving gaze swept over Cheng Qian and Qingque, and when it landed on Wei Zhaorong, he was slightly cold, and then smiled again: "What are you doing here?" What sins do you want to forgive? ”

Cheng Qian wept and said: "The son is guilty, if it weren't for the son to please and sell the obedient, the lion will be sacrificed to the emperor......

"What is a horse? An animal, no matter how spiritual it is, is not as intelligent as a human. Even people make mistakes, let alone a horse? Besides, how did my father not know that you had regarded a young slave as a treasure since you were a child, so how could you have the intention of harming him? You are so uncomfortable, but you just want your father to punish you, you have a lighter heart. Cheng Qian! As a prince, it is good for you to be so benevolent, but you can't help but consider your own position. Let's just talk about these things in our own family, and don't say them in front of others in the future. Get up! Didn't Imperial Doctor Xie say it just now? You and the martial arts are the heart medicine of the childish slave. Get up, if you really want to make yourself feel better, in the next few months, just accompany the childish slave. ”

Seeing this, Cheng Qian had to get up.

Taizong turned to the Qingque beside him and said, "Your eldest brother is right, and you are not wrong." Get up, and don't follow your brother's example. Speaking of which, the young slave is like this, and it is really you two brothers who spoil him. Otherwise, how can little things be? ”

Seeing this, Qingque had no choice but to get up.

Then, Taizong looked at Wei Zhaorong again, was quiet for a while, and finally said, "Concubine Ai also get up!" Although the concubine set up the horse shackle, but at that time you didn't know that the slave was also on the horse. Besides, if the horse suddenly goes berserk, it is appropriate for you to do so. ”

Hearing Taizong's words, Wei Zhaorong was overjoyed, so he hurriedly thanked him and got up.

Seeing this, Yang Shufei frowned, but when she looked at Taizong's eyes, she seemed to have realized something and stopped talking. Just looking at Mei Niang.

Mei Niang saw that among the concubines, Yang Shufei, who was the first in appearance and demeanor, looked at her like this, and seemed to have an understanding, and silently returned her eyes.

……

After a short time, De'an, who was waiting by the slave's side, came in with a look of surprise to report that the slave was already awake and sane, but he was a little uneasy. I heard that the martial artists were fine, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was fine, so he seemed to be calm.

Taizong was still not at ease after all, and seeing that the night was dark, he asked all the concubines and sons, except for Yang Shufei, who was with him tonight, and everyone else retreated to rest.

Hearing this, Wei Zhaorong wanted to look at Concubine Shu with a resentful face, but he bumped into Qingque's eyes halfway. Stunned, she hurriedly lowered her head and left first.

Seeing this, Concubine Yang Shu glanced at Qingxuan. Qing Xuan comprehended and went down quietly.

All this was going on quietly, and even Taizong didn't notice it. However, Mei Niang, who was sitting on the bed, saw Chu Xiong clearly.

……

A moment later, in the slave's room.

"Father......" Seeing Taizong entering, the young slave hurriedly got up and wanted to salute, Taizong hurriedly said: "You just woke up, lie down!" Does it hurt anywhere? ”

The young slave smiled bitterly: "Father, the emperor asked the young slave this? But should I ask the martial artists? If it weren't for the uselessness of the childish slaves, I was afraid that the martial arts wouldn't be ......."

When Taizong heard this, he comforted him softly: "I know that you feel uncomfortable. But childish slave, since she fought so hard to save you, if you blame yourself like this, wouldn't you put her kindness in a pitiful situation? Men and women, don't be afraid of owing favors, just be able to afford it. ”

The young slave nodded and said sincerely: "The young slave is not filial, which makes my father worried." ”

When Taizong heard this, he knew that De'an had told the slave about the matter, and he glared angrily at the moment, so frightened that De'an hurriedly knelt down, and then turned his face and said with a smile: "What you said is not right." You are the son of your father, if something happens to you, if your father is not worried, is your father still a bloody man? Men and men, such a sad state, it's better not to be. ”

"Yes." The young slave thought about the way his father used to cry, and on the other hand, he wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, and his heart was moved. I had to answer.

Taizong saw that he was fine, and his heart was at peace, and he was about to comfort him with two sentences to let him rest, but the young slave suddenly said:

"Father, the young slave has something to ask for, but it is a matter of martial talent, please don't be angry."

"Say it." Taizong only said that as the Imperial Doctor Xie said, the childish slave's heart disease has not been eliminated, and he still needs heart medicine to heal. He was about to answer him, but he heard the childish slave say:

"Father, the young slave is stupid, but I just heard De'an say that Concubine Shu Zeng Jin and his father said it, and I also feel quite suspicious. I don't know if my father would like to hear a thing or two? ”

Hearing this, Taizong's expression narrowed, and he said: "Father wanted to ask you again tomorrow, but I didn't expect you to be in a hurry to talk to your father...... The young slave has really grown up, so let's talk about it! ”

"Yes, Father. The young slave didn't think there was anything strange about this matter, but when he heard De'an say what Concubine Shu said, he felt very wrong in his heart. Father, when the young slave and the martial artist were on the back of the horse, they already felt that the lion skull seemed to be tame, but for some reason, they were just blindly bored. At that time, I just thought that it might not be used to being ridden by people. However, when I think about it now, that kind of attitude is similar to when my father gave the first horse to the slave, because the slave was ignorant, he took a spur and stabbed it, and the horse was in pain. ”

When Taizong heard this, the corners of his eyes narrowed: "The young slave is suspicious, someone has done something to the horse?" ”

"The young slave didn't dare to say anything, but there was one point, I didn't feel strange at the time, but now that I think about it, it's really suspicious." The young slave said: "Father, the father knows the childish slave, and he has never wanted to comment on the behavior of others. But today...... Today, Wei Zhaorong's attitude really made the young slave feel strange. How did she ...... Why was it so fast, as soon as the fourth brother told her, she knew that there was such a horse that was frightened and was galloping in the mountains at the moment, and she needed to set up tripwires around the camp to stop it? ”

As soon as he spoke, he was asked about Taizong's heart disease. saw that Taizong was unhappy, and when he was about to say more, he saw Qingxuan hurriedly come in, saluted Taizong first, and then looked at Concubine Shu.

"Your Majesty, forgive your concubines for being troublesome. I just saw that this matter was suspicious, so I went to Yang Zhangshi to investigate, and now ...... There seems to be some results, can Your Majesty hear about it? ”

"Say."

Taizong looked at Yang Qingxuan.

Qing Xuan bowed with his hands crossed first, and then knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, in fact, before Concubine Shuniang came here today, she was secretly reported and said...... Wei Zhaorong in the Anren Hall seemed to have been angry because of some trivial things that happened between Xiao Yu and Yuan Chongyi, and he wanted to let Yuan Chongyi and Wu Cairen know how powerful she was. It also happened that His Majesty was worried about Yuan Chongyi, and Teen allowed her to come to Zhongnan Mountain to accompany her......

Niangniang was worried about Wei Zhaorong's straightforward personality, and she was afraid that she would attack Yuan Chongyi and the martial artists today, so she secretly took some precautions with the slave maid. Pity...... The slave maid and the concubine were like the concubines, thinking that Wei Zhaorong would reprimand the two noble lords in person, but she didn't expect that she would ......"

"What?" Seeing Qing Xuan spitting, Taizong lowered his face and said, "If you have something to say!" ”

"Yes...... Slaves...... The slave maid was just curious at the time, looking at Chunying beside Wei Zhaorong and seeing that the carriage that Yuan Chongyi and Wucai were riding in came, she took a little eunuch and walked towards the dense forest, and seemed to have handed over something to him before leaving. The slave and maid were curious, so they followed, and found that the little eunuch had gone quietly, loosened the reins of the lion's skull, and held a very delicate little crossbow in the distance, and pierced an arrow at the lion's buttocks. ”

Taizong's face was about to drip ink, and he said after a while: "You saw this with your own eyes?" ”

"Slaves don't dare to speak!"

"Where is that little eunuch now?"

"Back to Your Majesty, as soon as the martial arts and the Jin prince woke up, the lady concubine was relieved, so she took the slave and maid to find the little eunuch, but she couldn't find it anymore. Inside and out, they all said that they didn't see this person. But Your Majesty, the slave and maid found it in the dense forest. Your Majesty, please look! ”

While speaking, Qing Xuan took out the small crossbow in his sleeve, walked on his knees, and put his hands in front of Taizong, and only slowly retreated after Taizong took it.
