Xiao Yue accompanied the emperor into the woods at the mountain pass, and shot a lot of prey along the way.

The generals who followed dispersed after the entrance.

After walking for about ten miles, Yang Tong, the commander of the Praetorian Guard beside the emperor, stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the gentleman does not set up a dangerous wall, and in the depths of the dense forest in front of him, please stop, besides, Your Majesty has shot a lot of prey, and you must always give other generals some performance." ”

The emperor looked at the sky and said, "Then listen to you, let's go back after sweeping this forest." ”

After speaking, his hand passed to Xiao Yue beside him, and Xiao Yue untied the water bladder and handed it over.

The emperor raised his neck to drink water, and suddenly something fell from the sky and smashed in front of the emperor.

The emperor turned his head to dodge, and everyone thought it was a hidden weapon, and immediately reacted and looked around vigilantly.

One of the guards dismounted and picked up what had fallen into the grass, only to find that it was only a wild fruit.

Xiao Yue turned his head and looked in the direction where the wild fruit had just fallen, and saw a monkey squatting on the tree, still holding a few fruits in his hand, obviously it was it that threw the fruit towards the emperor just now.

The people who were beside the emperor also discovered the monkey who was doing strange things, and knowing that there was no assassin, everyone's minds relaxed.

The emperor returned the water bladder to Xiao Yue, and couldn't help laughing, "This monkey is actually playing tricks." ”

As soon as the emperor's words fell, several monkeys jumped out of the tree, lined up to look at them, and then threw the fruit in their arms at them, and then even monkeys jumped down from the tree and pounced on the emperor and his party.

The crowd did not expect the monkey to pounce directly, and when they pounced, they did not directly hurt people, but turned to grab the horses under them, and the horses were screaming and scurrying in pain.

Everyone had to not only avoid the monkey's attack, but also control the horses under them, and suddenly the scene was a bit scrambling.

Xiao Yue saw a monkey rushing towards the emperor, and killed the monkey without waiting for the emperor to make a move.

There were more and more monkeys around, and these monkeys were somehow, very fierce, baring their teeth and roaring, and they all threw themselves down from the trees to catch people.

Because of the appearance of these monkeys, the horses that were not attacked also began to become restless.

"How can there be so many monkeys?" Commander Yang escorted the guards in front of the emperor, pulling the reins, trying to pacify the horses under him, and he said to Xiao Yue, "Lord Wang, you escort the emperor to leave here first." ”

At this time, a monkey pounced on the emperor's horse, and the horse was in pain and galloped forward.

Seeing this, Xiao Yue hurriedly patted his horse and chased after him, and Commander Yang also followed when he saw this.

The emperor held the reins tightly to prevent himself from being thrown out by the painful horse, and after Xiao Yue caught up, he whipped the monkey chasing the emperor aside with the horsewhip in his hand.

The monkey who was whipped by his horsewhip knew that this man was not easy to mess with, and quickly ran away.

One of them ran, and the monkey that followed behind also turned around and ran in other directions.

"Your Majesty, are you alright?" Xiao Yue saw that the guards who followed behind him were still chasing the monkeys, and asked with a frown.

The emperor also frowned slightly, and said, "It's okay, it's just where did this group of monkeys come from?" Still so restless? “

Generally speaking, the field should be cleared before the autumn hunt, but why didn't it clean up this time? Or is there something missing when cleaning up?

The Praetorian Guards around the emperor were already skilled, and they were in a hurry just now, but also because the incident happened suddenly, and the emperor was fine, so he concentrated on dealing with the monkey and quickly drove the monkey away.

"Your Majesty, let's get out of here first." Commander Yang was not at ease and asked the emperor to evacuate the forest again.

The emperor lost his interest in hunting anymore because of the monkeys, and nodded, "Then go back." ”

Just walked a short distance, Xiao Yue's face suddenly changed suddenly, he made a gesture for everyone to stop first, listened carefully, drove the horse and walked a few steps forward, and suddenly shouted loudly, "Protect the emperor." ”

I saw a large group of wolves rushing from the opposite side, as if they were getting closer and closer to the arrow of the string.

"Oh no, this is where wolves gather." Commander Yang also saw it, and then his face condensed, and he said in a deep voice.

The wolves also live in groups, and there are as many as forty or fifty wolves in this group, which seems to be not an ordinary wolf pack.

They were in the forest, the speed of the horses was not as fast as the wolf, Xiao Yue and Yang led the emperor to leave, but gradually, they were still chased by the wolves.

Xiao Yue gritted his teeth and turned the horse's head, looked at the wolves galloping behind him, pulled out the long arrow behind him, and drew his bow to shoot at the wolves.

The long arrows they brought out were limited, they had already shot their prey just now, and the long arrows brought by the guards around them had been used a lot when they had just driven away the monkeys.

Xiao Yue asked Commander Yang to escort the emperor away with a few guards first, and he and the rest of the people dealt with the wolves.

The emperor had already left, but he looked back at the wolves, and the head wolf led by him was sturdy, agile, and decisive and neat.

The remaining dozens of wolves are also very fierce, and when they communicate in autumn and winter, it is the time when the beasts reserve food for the winter, and the degree of ruthlessness of such wolves is much higher than that of spring and summer.

If there were only twenty or thirty wolves, he believed that Xiao Yue and his guards could solve it, but now, there were as many as forty or fifty wolves, if he took away most of the guards, then Xiao Yue would ......

Although there were Janissaries on standby outside the enclosure, they had been hiding from the monkeys just now, and now they were twenty or thirty miles away from the periphery, and even if they gave the signal now, it would be too late for the helpers to chase after them.

"Yang Huan, turn around and help King Jin." The emperor ordered, and at the same time turned the horse's head and ran towards the place where Xiao Yue was fighting with the wolves.

Commander Yang drove forward and blocked the emperor's way, "Your Majesty, it's too dangerous, the ministers protect you to exit first, and the King of Jin will definitely be able to stop it." ”

"When will you be able to refute my will? Just do what I say. The emperor scolded Commander Yang.

Commander Yang gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, even if you kill the minister after today, the minister still has to stop you from coming forward, presumably King Jin also doesn't want you to be in danger." ”

On Xiao Yue's side, Dark One followed Xiao Yue to shoot the wolf with arrows, and said to Xiao Yue, "Lord Wang, come down and cover and distance yourself from these beasts." ”

Xiao Yue gritted his teeth and said, "Don't talk nonsense, there are so many, how can you cover up?" It's important to kill the wolf. ”

After saying that, he drew his bow again, aimed at the wolf who had been wounded earlier, and put down one, and then followed the next.

When the wolves saw that their partners were shot, the smell of blood spread, and suddenly, the wolves behind them surrounded them like crazy.

These wolves are extremely fast, good at camouflage, and know how to fight in a roundabout way, although Xiao Yue's group of people are good at riding and archery, but there are too many wolves, although Xiao Yue is not busy pumping arrows, taking arrows, pulling bows, shooting, slowly, the horse can't run.

Xiao Yue saw that the wolves were surrounding them at a fast speed, he jumped off the horse, and slapped the horse's tail hard, the horse was in pain, neighed and ran in the other direction.

There were wolves chasing the horses, and a dozen wolves with green eyes and fiercely pounced on him.

Not only was the hair bun combed in the early morning under Gu Nian's gaze messy, but even the clothes on the slender and powerful arms were torn, and the bony palms were even scratched with blood.

When the other guards saw Xiao Yue pat the horse away, they also came down one after another, and like Xiao Yue, drove the horse away and fought the wolves with their bare hands.

In the sky, only the sound of fighting, the roar of wolves, the screams of miserable screams, and the bloodshot eyes were scattered.

One, two, three...... The number of wolves gradually decreased, and the strength of Xiao Yue's group became smaller and smaller.

The sturdy male wolf closest to Xiao Yue, under the cover of other wolves, pounced on Xiao Yue, vowing to bite off the neck of the human in front of him.

It's just that before the male wolf got close to Xiao Yue, he was shot in the throat by a man from a distance, and fell to the ground and convulsed.

Xiao Yue turned his head suddenly, and saw the emperor riding on a horse, holding a bow and arrow in his hand, gave him a smile, and then added another arrow to the male wolf who had not died just now.

Xiao Yue didn't say anything, carried his sword, rushed into the wolves again, and fought with the wolves.

There were a lot of people brought by the emperor, and more or less they still carried arrows, and all of them set up bows and arrows to destroy many wolves.

The first wolf in the wolf pack saw that the emperor and his party were even more powerful, so he left Xiao Yue and these people and ran towards the emperor.

Xiao Yue raised his sword and fell, killed the wolves around him, and ran towards the emperor.

The emperor pursed his lips, took a bow and arrow, and shot an arrow into the leg of one of the wolves, Xiao Yue came to him, and the emperor also jumped off the horse,

Laughing and said, "Today, let's two brothers work together to kill these wolves." ”

The head wolf surrounded them with a few wolves, the emperor took a bow and shot arrows, and Xiao Yue carried a long sword to deal with the wolves that pounced.

I saw that the emperor shot two arrows in succession, one arrow missed, and the other shot on the left eye of the head wolf.

In the mountains and forests, there was the sound of the wind whirring, the rustling of leaves, the sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and the screams of wolves being attacked.

For a time, the entire mountain forest was full of wolves' wails.

When everything was still, the last wolf also fell under Xiao Yue's sword.

The corpse of the wolf, the blood spread, and the emperor sat on the ground tired, leaning on a tree trunk and panting.

Xiao Yue didn't stop, and ordered Dark One to count the number of people and see if any guards were injured.

The emperor smiled and said, "It seems that I am really too comfortable to be comfortable, and I used to be able to fight with you, but now I only shoot a few arrows, and I am tired." ”

Xiao Yue turned his head and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, you shouldn't come back." ”

The emperor said indifferently, "It's wrong if I don't come back, you can be born and die for me, go up the sword mountain, go down to the sea of fire, it doesn't make sense that I should watch you get injured, or even ......"

When the emperor arrived, he did not use 'I' to call himself, but 'I'. ’

He leaned against the trunk of the tree, tilted his head, looked at the blue sky outside through the gap in the leaves, and his eyes fell on nothingness, "There is nothing between us that should or should not be, I am glad that I came back and did not lose that 'original heart'." ”

Xiao Yue turned his face sideways, and was about to speak, only to hear a 'chirp' sound in the distance, his face changed again, and the dark one was counting the injured guards, seeing that the situation was also a big change, he jumped to Xiao Yue's side, and said nervously, "Lord, it's the princess who has an accident." ”

When the emperor heard this, he stood up with a solemn face and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Xiao Yue shook his head, his face solemn, "I don't know what happened, Your Majesty, I want to go back and take a look first." He then instructed the Dark One, "You stay here and take care of the aftermath here." ”

With that, he whistled, and the horses that he had taken away galloped merrily from a distance.

Xiao Yue turned over and got on the horse, and the emperor also got on the horse, "I will go back with you." With me here, it's easy to do anything. ”

Xiao Yue didn't care about this, slapped his legs, grabbed the reins and walked towards the paddock.

When they reached the entrance of the forest, they saw the movement of the Praetorian Guards, and the constant shouting of the women.

After Gu Nian was poisoned, the Queen Mother encircled the high platform and did not allow anyone to move.

The emperor frowned, generally speaking, the queen mother and empress who stayed in the enclosure would not move the Praetorian Guards at will. What's going on?

The Praetorian Guards guarding the edge of the forest saw the emperor and Xiao Yue coming out of the forest, and hurriedly stepped forward, "Report, Your Majesty, the prince of Jin, the princess of Jin has been poisoned." ”

"What did you say?" Xiao Yue almost fell off his horse, he stumbled and jumped off his horse, only to feel a buzzing in his head.

"Princess Jin was poisoned, and the accompanying imperial doctors have already gone to Gaotai ......"

Xiao Yue couldn't hear any sound anymore, and all that was left in his mind was 'Nian Nian was poisoned......

He pushed away the emperor next to him, whose mouth was open and closed, and strode out.

Commander Yang stood behind the emperor, and when he saw that Xiao Yue actually pushed the emperor away, he immediately wanted to attack, and stepped forward to scold Xiao Yue, but was stopped by the emperor.

When the emperor heard that Princess Jin was poisoned, he was both surprised and afraid, he didn't know how Princess Jin was poisoned, and at the same time he thought of the monkeys and wolves in the forest.

It's all too much of a coincidence.

He followed Xiao Yue towards the high platform, "Emperor......" Commander Yang saw that the emperor also walked over, and wanted to stop the emperor, but the emperor ignored him at all.

Commander Yang hurriedly followed the emperor and walked over.

In front of him is Xiao Yue, who is running in a hurry, like an angry lion, running without an image, running away from his soul, in the eyes of outsiders, like a homeless dog.

He ran a few steps, and fell on the ground, he got up from the ground, and continued to run, his hair still scattered because he had killed the wolves, and the hair strands were scattered and floated up as he ran, without any image.

Xiao Yue couldn't take care of these anymore, he just wanted to see Gu Nian quickly, and then see her intact, and tell him that he was wrong.

Just now, he didn't see the 'death' signal sent by the people around him.

When Xiao Yue rushed to the high platform, he was stopped by the Praetorian Guards, and just now the Queen Mother gave an order that everyone should not move around at will.

"Get out." Xiao Yue's voice was cold, making people sound as if there was endless cold air rushing into the soles of his feet, cold to his chest, he waved away the Praetorian Guards who tried to stop him, and rushed to the side of the couch that had been put together temporarily.

Although the Praetorian Guard who tried to stop him seemed to be waved casually by Xiao Yue, after he left, the Praetorian Guard spat out a mouthful of blood.

His colleague on the side helped him down and said in a low voice, "You don't have long eyes, that's King Jin, and it's his princess who is poisoned inside." It seems that you have suffered in vain. ”

"Lord Wang......" When Xiao Yue arrived, Astragalus was feeding Gu Nian medicine.

When the Queen Mother saw Xiao Yue coming over, she wanted to say a few words of relief, but when she saw Gu Nian lying there unconscious, she swallowed all the words again.

"Nian Nian ......" Xiao Yue walked to Gu Nian's side, trembled his hands, held Gu Nian's hand, and found that when her fingers were cold, he couldn't help but put her hands on his chest, wanting to cover the heat.

He stretched out a hand, put it tremblingly under the tip of Gu Nian's nose and probed it, and after making sure that he was breathing, he asked Astragalus with red eyes, "How is the princess?" ”

"The imperial doctor prescribed a prescription for the princess to induce vomiting, spit out the poison, maybe ......" Astragalus fed the medicine into Gu Nian's mouth with the help of Qingye.

The medicine that couldn't be fed in, and after a few mouthfuls, Gu Nian vomited again. Not only did he vomit out the medicine, but there was also a large ball of blood.

Aoba held Gu Nian's head and kept wiping the medicinal juice and blood flowing from Gu Nian's lips with a handkerchief.

Astragalus's hands are already trembling, if the vomiting medicine can't be fed, what can I do?

There's not even a tool to help here.

"Wheat Straw...... Is there a wheat straw......" she yelled to the side of the physician, who also looked anxious.

"I'll come." Xiao Yue took the medicine bowl in Astragalus's hand, took Gu Nian from Qingye's hand, and carefully placed her in his arms, while he sat sideways on the table that served as a bed, and after drinking a large mouthful of medicine, he lowered his head and fed it into Gu Nian's mouth.

Xiao Yue's move made the onlookers on the side look away, and also made the queen who had just heard the news and went to the high platform with the emperor stunned.

The Queen Mother turned her back even more.

Xiao Yue's sideburns were scattered, the crown of his hair was crooked on the side of his head, the clothes on his body were even more torn, and there were spots of blood on his clothes, and he fed the medicine into Gu Nian's mouth one by one.

Such a picture, if no one is poisoned and needs to be saved, probably, it will be a very beautiful sight.

Finally, a bowl of medicine was fed into Gu Nian's mouth, probably because the taste of the medicine was too bad, Gu Nian, who was in a coma, frowned, first spit out a few mouthfuls of black medicinal juice, and then a large mouthful of blood gushed out of her mouth.

At first it was black blood, slowly, dark red, then bright red.

Xiao Yue looked at more and more blood in the basin, the colors slowly merged, he held Gu Nian's hand, and he trembled more and more, and the color of his eyes seemed to be the same as the blood in the basin.

Astragalus also clenched his fists, and after seeing that the blood spit out by Gu Nian was normal, the boulder in his heart fell, and at the same time he felt weak in his hands and feet.

"Lord Wang, great." After seeing that Gu Nian had no way to vomit, the imperial doctor who diagnosed and treated him said excitedly, "The poison in the princess's abdomen has almost been cleared, fortunately, although the poison in the princess is very strong, the amount is small, so it can be saved." ”

The emperor stood on the side and asked him, "Have you found out the poison in Princess Jin?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty. When he was boiling the medicine just now, the minister had already checked the things here, as well as the tea cup presented by the maid next to the princess of Jin, and the minister found a small amount of 'worry relief grass' on the tea cup used by the princess of Jin."

"Anxiety Relief Grass?" The emperor repeated.

"Yes, the anti-anxiety grass, although the name of this poison seems very good, if there is a patient with a headache, many doctors will add a little bit of this to treat the headache and relieve the pain.

However, if you drink it together with white tea, it is highly poisonous!

Fortunately, Princess Jin took a small amount and would not be life-threatening. ”

This is also what makes the imperial doctor puzzled, the mind of the poisoned person is really weird, it should have wanted human life, but why only put so little worry relief grass on the tea cup?

The Queen Mother, who had been on the side, remembered that she had just asked her to pour tea for Gu Nian, originally, she was kind, but she didn't expect that her kindness almost cost her life.

She kept thinking about what happened before the accident, and a female official next to her said, "Niangniang, just now you asked people to pour tea for Princess Jin, and a small palace person stepped forward to serve, Princess Jin saw that the person serving was young, and reminded her not to burn."

The little palace man poured the tea, poured another cup, wiped the tea spilled on the table with his sleeve, and Princess Jin kindly gave her a handkerchief......"

The Queen Mother thought about it, and Princess Qijun, who had been talking to the Queen Mother on the side just now, also shouted, "I know, I know, it must be the poisonous ...... that the little palace maid gave to Princess Jin."

The emperor sat next to the queen mother, and glanced at Xiao Yue, who was only looking at Gu Nian, he must find out about this matter, no matter who it is, he must be severely punished.

According to what the female official next to the Queen Mother said, the little palace maid poured the poured tea and poured a new cup again, probably after this time, the amount of anxiety relief grass that Gu Nian ate was reduced.

The tea given by the Queen Mother, no matter what, Gu Nian would take a sip, and if he has the intention to kill, the poison must have been refined, as long as he takes such a small sip, it can kill people.

It's just that the man definitely didn't expect the little palace maid to wash the teacup, and he didn't know if the little palace man did this action intentionally or unintentionally.

"Bring that little maid up." The emperor commanded with a calm face.

The queen, who was standing beside the emperor, saw the emperor's deep face, and the idea of being suppressed by her came up again.

Your Majesty, this is clearly very concerned about Princess Jin.

The queen's heart thought sourly.

The Queen Mother had already ordered the Praetorian Guards to strictly guard all the people present, not only did not let anyone escape, but also did not give anyone a chance to commit suicide.

The emperor said to bring the little palace maid up, and immediately the Praetorian Guards brought people up.

The little palace maid was thrown in front of the emperor, and the person who threw her was the dark one who came back from dealing with good emotions in the forest.

"Who are you? Why did you poison and assassinate Princess Jin? The emperor asked the palace maid in front of him who looked young and childish.

"Slave begonia." The little palace maid kowtowed to Gu Nian in Xiao Yue's arms, "The slave knows that what she has done is a capital crime, and the slave has nothing to say." ”

"Who instructed you?" The Queen Mother asked, if you don't ask the ugly man today, why can't she explain to the King of Jin.

"You are a palace maid, how much enmity do you have with Princess Jin, you want to harm her like this? Also, where did your poison come from? ”

Haitang shook her head, lowered her head, and said softly, "Princess Jin is a good person. It is the slave and the maid who deserve to die, and the slave and the maid are willing to die. ”

Her answer made the Queen Mother sneer, "That's weird, you said that Princess Jin is a good person, so since you say that she is a good person, why do you poison her?" ”

Begonia hung her head and didn't speak, and suddenly, she rushed towards a Praetorian guard next to her, trying to pull out his knife, but was kicked to the ground by the dark one.

"It's not that easy to die." Dark One's eyes were red, and it didn't matter if there were emperors, queen mothers and others on it.

No one pursued whether it was right for Dark One to do this, and the Queen Mother looked coldly at the begonia who was kicked to the ground, and said, "Do you think that if you die, you will be a hundred?" The mourning family advises you to tell the mastermind behind the scenes, so that maybe you can still save your life. ”

Haitang collapsed to the ground, not saying a word, just looking at Gu Nian in a coma with red eyes.

The emperor was about to ask, there was a commotion at the entrance of the forest, and soon, a guard came to report, "Back to the emperor, King An was injured by a stray arrow and fell off his horse, and now he is in a coma, and at the same time he is injured by the leader of the Northern Barbarian envoys, Prince Aoda......"

"What ......" Everyone on the platform was shocked, what happened today? First Princess Jin was poisoned, and now King An is injured, and even the time of the Northern Barbarians is injured......
